Miguel Delaney @migueldelaney.bsky.socialBlueskyTwo main Q around this game:
Can Chelsea actually challenge
Are Fulham really at risk of relegation
And yet it was so chaotic... it's still hard to know
It was great entertainment, but maybe not that instructive
Fulham do look like they have fight

Jim joins Marcus to react to Chelsea getting one over on Fulham. Plus, why can't you say "bomb squad" anymore? And the actual Benito Mussolini's great-grandson makes his Lazio debut 👇
lnk.to/rambleAug 25 Open postCoach , Coachareeno, the Coachmeister, Coachy McCoachface @coacharming.bsky.socialBlueskyThat's cool they played "London Calling" at halftime of Fulham/Chelsea.
Is that a thing there? Seems like that could be a thing there.
It's cool anyway, I liked it.Aug 24 Open postGoalBharat @goalbharat.bsky.socialBlueskyChelsea began their 2026-27 Premier League campaign with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. In the first London derby of the season, Xabi Alonso's side showed attacking quality and resilience to secure three points despite Fulham's strong fightback.Aug 26 Open postACHRAF @lamdarhriachraf.bsky.socialBlueskyBoth Arbeloa and Alonso came up with good solutions to both teams' defensive structures.
Chelsea generated passing lanes by inviting vertical jumps from the front line to play that line-breaking pass, and by exploiting late lateral shifts from Fulham mids to find that pass inside.Aug 25 Open postDom Smith @mrdomsmith.bsky.socialBlueskyXabi Alonso may not want to talk about building his team around the front three, but if Chelsea have a success season, those three will be why.
Piece on Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers - and how #CFC moving away from wide wingers was crucial
www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...Aug 25 Open postPNL @pnlchelsea.bsky.socialBlueskyIt wasn't free from difficult moments with some great attacking play balanced off by less than great attacking but Chelsea start the new season with a win.
