Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool: The one that went to extra time

Perspective is often overlooked in football - and no longer just by fans, but by the 'experts' for the sake of a snappy soundbite or engagement on social media. It's polarised every result into a turning point or the end of the world. There's no longer an in between. And maybe - that's not really the road we want to travel. Maybe, just maybe, it might be refreshing to take a step back and look at things as they are rather than feed into some narrative or another.

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool: The One where Disasi scored on his debut

Despite the sweeping changes throughout the squad and coaching staff - some things remain the same. Chelsea and Liverpool play out a draw. Again. It is the seventh in a row - with two of those going to penalty shootouts. However you cut it - there was nothing to separate the sides at full time.

The excitement going into the weekend should have been focused on what Mauricio Pochettino was going to bring to this young squad. But it seemed just about everyone had their eyes on Fabrizio Romano. Other transfer gurus are available. David Ornstein being the preferred option. But I digress.

Chelsea 5-0 Wrexham: The One where the Blues defeated Deadpool

Scoring goals is fun
It didn't take long for Mauricio Pochettino to make his mark on the Chelsea squad. And yes, it's important to keep things in perspective in terms of the opponent and the fact that this is preseason. However, if we're all being really honest with each other - if Graham Potter was still overseeing this, rather than a 5-nil win this would be a draw at best.

Pochettino hosts BBQ at Cobham in gesture to Chelsea staff

Poch knows the way to anyone's heart
Mauricio Pochettino did not just use his first day at Cobham to drop a pitch perfect interview that may go viral for the amount of times I have watched it, but to make an incredible first impression on Chelsea staff members. The new boss boss hosted an Argentinian barbecue.

Chelsea vs Tottenham: The One Where Tottenham Continued Being Spursy at Stamford Bridge

Everyone devastated about Matic's 1 match suspension
Although trying to get into Stamford Bridge last night was a special kind of hell with not all the gates functioning and a somewhat inebriated crowd - the payoff was worth it* for those who managed to survive the crush on the way in. Because Chelsea’s favourite guest was in the house last night and were as accommodating as ever.
