New American owner Todd Boehly is not having a good time at Chelsea. They have one win in eight and got waxed by the Man City reserves in the FA Cup yesterday. That defense is just broken. There is growing talk of firing Graham Potter who they just hired after firing Thomas Tuchel in September.

From the Coupe de France yesterday. Kids, don't do this. The player on the receiving end was admitted to the ICU as a precaution after going to two hospitals.
And to prove the French like spectacle, even thou the National Team coach re-upped somehow they still have drama.
