Chelsea FC - Pride of London

Will take a draw away at pool anytime. One thing i've noticed in big games though is we lack creativity in midfield, Kante & Matic don't create a lot and really, aren't expected to.

Yeah Fabregas' passing range was extremely noticeable in his brief spell on the pitch.

Would rather see Chalobah or Fabregas given a shot over Matic. Kante seems to be doing his job for him. We need someone who can link our midfield up with our attackers.
 


After 21 incredible years, I have decided that now is the right time to finish my career as a professional footballer. Whilst I have received a number of exciting offers to continue playing at home and abroad, at 38 I feel now is the time to begin the next chapter in my life. I’m immensely proud of the trophies I’ve won, of representing my country over 100 times and of scoring more than 300 careergoals.

I have many people to thank. I thank my parents for instilling in me the values of hard work, dedication and professionalism, values which I have carried with me in everything that I do. I am forever grateful for the support of my family, my wife Christine and my two daughters Luna and Isla. What you have given me off the pitch has always been my strength on it. I love you all very much. Also, my friends and my own team that have always been there for me. I would like to thank the amazing team-mates, coaches, managers and backroom staff that I was privileged to work with. I’d also like to pay tribute to the clubs that I have represented. Firstly, West Ham United who gave me my debut in 1996. Thanks to the people there that believed in me at that young age. More recently Manchester City and New York City FC. I greatly enjoyed my last playing years at these two clubs and really appreciate the support I received from City Football Group and both clubs’ fans.

Of course, the largest part of my heart belongs toChelsea Football Club, a club which has given me so many great memories. I will never forget the opportunity they gave me and the success that we managed to achieve together. It is impossible to give thanks individually to all the people that helped and supported me in my 13 years playing there. All I can say is from the day I signed until now and going forward, I'm eternally grateful for everything and to everyone. Chelsea fans gave myself and my teammates such incredible support. Their passion and hunger drove me on personally to give my best year after year. I couldn't have done it without them.

Looking forward, I'm grateful to the FA for the opportunity to study for my coaching qualifications and I look forward to pursuing the off-field opportunities that this decision opens.

What a legend

Benno_900 I know you're banned from this board but I just want to say thank you. Ever since your little visit on here we have been brilliant. I think I'm going to drip feed a few gifs throughout the week and I'll tag you in each one. Not sure which one to start with though. I'm tossing up between Ozil yelling at Sanchez, Cech's assist to Fabregas or Hazard taking the piss out of half your team.

Tough question. If I did a list I would have him anywhere in the 10-20 mark. I may be biased but I rate him as the best player in the PL but there is so much more top end quality abroad.
Seems to be the general consensus from the few mates I asked too. They way he just toyed with Arsenal this weekend was incredible, then obviously that goal. :eek:
 
I suppose it's also a subjective question. Like someone might rate the elegance and trickery of Hazard over the brute strength and aggression of a defender like Hummels and thus that would come into account when your making the list.
