Petr cech says that chelsea could challenge for a top 4 place next season and that the season after is the first realistic year that they could challenge for the title.

So hard to know ketchup.
In fairness he improved their results if not performance over the first two seasons finishing 6th and 7th, getting in to Europe which all drives revenue. So most fans were happy with results and owners with financials and there was me very unhappy with style of play.
Last season results in the league were poor but winning that cup kept most people happy.

This season I think sixth in December was a false position and would think probable around 10th is where they will end up and probably knocked out of Europe before the QF. Now, most fans detest the style of play, if the finance decline he will be in trouble with the board as well.aside from dire football he has really unbalanced the squad and squandered money on transfer. His strength lies in driving teams from around the bottom to mid table. I think he is a poor coach in a lot of area with a personality type that will work with a decreasing cohort of players.

The talk is that he needs to get results in the next four games Forest away, Brentford home, Everton away and Burnley at home and that probably only buys him time.

Personally, I would run with him to the end of his contract in June and replace him

Well first thing is welcome back privet. And well done for staying for the full game. It must have been hard to watch and take in one of the hammers worst performances. Now this may seem a daft question to be asking you, but do you think david will still be there next season. Are west ham fans divided on him staying or going.

Super strike by lerma and palace lead 1-0.

[Ketchup2023]

Palace lead 1-0 at ht. That was lermas first goal for them. Its definetly one he will always remember. I'd say it will be a goal of the month candidate.

[Ketchup2023]

Nkunku on for madueke for the 2nd half. Is chelseas inconsistency going to continue or will they turn this game around yet?

[Ketchup2023]

What a start to the 2nd half for chelsea. Conor gallagher equalises 2 mins into it. Thats his first pl goal of the season.

[Ketchup2023]

Good save by petrovic. Still 1-1, sterling on for jackson.

[Ketchup2023]

4 mins injury time. Chelsea have beaten palace 12 times in a row in the pl. Is that sequence about to come to an end?

[Ketchup2023]

Oh jeeze, 2 goals in 2 mins for chelsea and they lead 3-1. Conor gallagher and enzo scores. Better late than never.

[Ketchup2023]

3-1 it is. Chelseas good record against palace continues. Unlucky 13 for palace. So are they in a relegation battle? I think they are.
