The Chelsea Daily Drivel - Including video of Josh McEachran last night!

""I was only a bit nervous, I was more just anxious to get on because it would be my home debut, Once I got on and got the ball I was fine. The manager told me the same as at Zilina, get on the ball as much as you can, keep the ball moving and just enjoy it.

It was a bit different to the Youth Cup Final because there were more people but you don't really notice they are there, you just get on with your game.

My first game away with the squad was at Blackburn in the Carling Cup and then at Everton away. It was just getting me used to being around the squad, I was in the stands both times, but it was still good being around the changing rooms because I was still only 16.

Pre-season was good for me, I got my chance to play, and then last week I went away to Slovakia. I didn't even know I was going to be on the bench and then I was and then I got on, so I did well there.

When I was young I was a lot smaller than the other lads and it took me quite a lot of time to develop so I was with my own age group, but as I got older I got taller and a bit stronger so I have been pushed up the ages.

I got to miss a lot of school when I was playing in the youth team as a schoolboy so that was good,It was a good experience, playing with the older players.""

"“Chelsea are the champions. They've had a good start to the season and I look upon them as the main danger to us, The games that will matter will probably be the ones against each other. Last year we lost both of those games and therefore that decided the title." "

""It's about putting a footprint in the States, and it's a big footprint, and at the same time building a relationship with ESPN. Manchester City would become ESPN's exclusive Premier League partner in the US.""

"I believe your comments about Chelsea's position on antisemitism are factually incorrect and unfair (Chelsea fans question club's stance over antisemitism, 9 September).

As your reporter was informed, our club has a strong written policy against discrimination, including antisemitism. Our policy is promoted at the highest levels of our organisation and is included in the training for all match-day personnel.

Of course, having a policy is not enough. Actions speak louder than words. We regularly ban 15 to 20 people each season for violations of our anti-discrimination policy. Two months ago, a Chelsea supporter was charged and found guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence for using the antisemitic term that you claim we ignore.

We have frequently had campaigns in match-day magazines to inform fans of our policy and resultant punishment. We are about to launch a new programme entitled Building Bridges: Help us tackle discrimination at Stamford Bridge.

Your reporter describes two alleged incidents, one of which took place at the DW Stadium in Wigan and the other at Wembley Stadium. He fails to recognise that at both of those venues we have no control over the stewarding, the CCTV cameras, the police or who is and is not permitted to enter the stadium.

In each of these two incidents, we received a complaint from one individual (not a "group", as alleged by your reporter). Because these incidents were reported after the fact, it became very difficult to investigate. In one case, the person involved vehemently denied the allegations and there were no corroborating witnesses; in the other situation, the identity of the alleged offender could not be obtained.

Rest assured that, when we can, we will take the strongest possible action against anyone found using any kind of discriminatory chant or taunt. To suggest otherwise is unfair and does our club, and the overwhelming majority of our fans, a huge disservice.

Chairman, Chelsea Football Club"
