Morning all,
Welcome to the weekend and welcome to Halloween!! I hope you all have a good one whatever you are getting up to, and those with kids, have fun with your pumpkins and if you’re going trick or treating! I do love this time of the year!
Chelsea play Manchester United on Halloween, and we really need to make sure we are the strongest monster on the night. This game is HUGE now, I really feel that. I think a lot of the fan base are starting to place themselves on the edge and could soon lose faith in Xabi Alonso (which is bizarre to me but I respect all opinions). This game has become so important for him. 12.30pm kick off at Stamford Bridge!
On the above subject, I wrote an article on all that and my thoughts on Alonso and the situation here.
And so did SPTC contributor The Score! Check out his views on it all here.
And for you guys to give your views on Alonso and also, the Liverpool defeat from mid-week, I have some polls here. I’m very keen to see the responses to these questions, so I’m asking every one of you to jump on these polls please!
And speaking of the Liverpool game, what on earth has happened with Alonso and Estevao? Really feels like there is something underlining going on there. Alonso was asked about that and the Liverpool performance, in which he has responded here.
As always, round up all your latest Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. This covers all you need to know!
Have a good weekend all, and Happy Halloween!! I’ll be back on the site on Sunday. You can follow and cover the game on the Substack App in the chat section there, where you can join the rest of the SPTC community in-game.
Peace, Si.
