Hmm, getting out of hand. leave the road, uncountable beating coming through! chelsea is in deep danger

Everything is going bad for chelshit, from sarri ball to sorry ball and this again. Chelsea fans boasting have been humiliated this season all they do now is to complain. One thing i learnt from chelsea's predicament is when things are going well for you just be humble.

I said to my friend yesterday that Ibramovic will soon sale Chelsea, because government is on his case and they will frustrate him out of the club.

The rules of the game must be strictly adhered to and respected. Therefore, Chelsea should face the consequences.
