Like every club does when they loose a good striker, or any influential player, they go out and buy another one.

this season I don't think he has at all, I can't even remember once. If you were talking about the last few seasons then I would say quite a lot.

Whos available that plays in a similar way to costa? He suits the Chelsea game perfectly. I can't imagine Lewandowski being available, maybe Lukaku, can't think of anyone else in that mould
Chelsea aren't short of money, even more so if they sell Costa to China for a whopping amount. They will have most of Europe to choose from, further afield if there is anyone out there. Costa has been in and out this year, certainly not irreplaceable. There are a number of other players at Chelsea more vital than Costa imo.
Top clubs will all have a nice list of players who will suit. We tend to think of the obvious ones but there will be players outside of the elite few teams but still in top leagues who will be up to the job and on the radar. Conte himself will know every Italian striker perfectly. If you have the cash then worrying about how to replace one player is not a big deal unless it is someone like Messi, Xavi or Iniesta.

Chelsea on a big high after clinching the title. Watford haven't scored in over 10 hrs away. Chelsea will be having a great party and will play without pressure. Watford lost last five away, without scoring and desperately low on confidence. Chelsea have a manager they love to play for. Watford have a manager no one really likes. :mmm:
So, there's only one result coming here. A massive spanking.
Thank God we don't need the points! :thup:

I've just been having a clear out in my loft and I've come across an auld football sticker book from 1988. Some of the teams in the top flight like oxford, Wimbledon, Coventry, Luton brings back memories as a young kid.

Went to all of them away.
Oxford was the worst ground out of all of them, it looked like a shanty town. It had about 9 tiny little different stands.
Coventry was always a laugh, and every year the local sex shop got done, which led to lots of plastic "toys" getting thrown on the pitch.

Haha I never went to Luton until a few seasons later, I can't remember who got sent off but we drew 0-0.

Weirdly enough, I only went to Luton twice, and both times when the away fan ban was on.
The first one I was due in work on the Saturday morning, and I was going to all the away matches then. At the last minute, I thought sod this, so got a taxi up to the rocket and hitched a lift, luckily from a vanload of Reds also going. I got a ticket in their supporters club, who, fair play to them didnt agree with the ban, so got me in.
The second year I didnt get in but got the match ball, when it was kicked over that little daft stand of exec boxes, and it bounced 5 yards in front of me.

It was in the Souness era I went, they'd just had a grass pitch laid that summer and I've never been back even though we've played them a few times since.

What's with the empty seats at the Emirates?
They're playing Sunderland in a virtually dead match. Would you put yourself out for that considering the current unrest?

Even more the reason to go imo. Those tickets have long been bought, don't forget there's still top 4 to play for.
