Interesting to read RLC say it is good to play “as part of a team” at Palace. You do start to wonder what the team spirit is like at the top end. A badge, a pay packet and a bunch of individuals?

Always remembering walking from the Holmesdale to the Whitehorse end at half time!

RLC has made 23 appearances for us this season.

At Chelsea last season 2016/17 he made 11 apps and the season before 17 apps but I think a lot of his Chelsea apps have been from the bench and maybe he didn't get too much time on the pitch when he came on.A bit-part player at Chelsea but not for us.

Surely after Chelsea's average season, by their standards, he wont be getting a look in as they look to bolster their squad next year round. They haven't spent much over the past few years compared to their rivals and could see a big influx of players this summer, especially with a new manager:

- Barkley
- Kante
- Fabregas
- Bakayoko
- Drinkwater

Every chance he could be back with us season (being optimistic)

Dont let Cabaye go

I don't think that one can generalize but it seems that Chelsea didn't have a happy dressing room but the major cause of that disappeared North up the M6 in January

Every chance that Conte will not be at Chelsea next season.

He just doesn't seem interested any more.The Conte of old was animated on the touchline and celebrating with the supporters but at present he just sits in his chair without showing any passion or interest at all.

As for his interviews - so darned boring and downnbeat and I don't bother listening any more.
