  • “The boy must learn to respect me” says Kepa after demoting Sarri to reserves

    “The boy must learn to respect me” says Kepa after demoting Sarri to reserves

    In a cruel display of ruthlessness, Chelsea dictator Kepa Arrizabalaga has quashed a potential leadership challenge after banishing Maurizio Sarri to coach the reserves indefinitely.

    The announcement was made via the club’s tightly controlled TV channel on Monday morning, following Sarri’s audacious public defiance of Kepa’s authority during Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on the weekend.

    “To maintain an iron grip on power and remain in full control of the dressing room as I have done, any acts of insubordination will be met with swift punishment. To that end, my underling Maurizio Sarri has been demoted to the reserves until the boy can learn to respect my absolute power,” said a stoney faced Kepa dressed in full military fatigues.

    “During the final Sarri had the nerve to try and substitute me, acting as if he had some sort of say on proceedings. Who the hell does he think he is? It’s incredible that he would make such a power grab, and to so in public is almost unforgivable. I mean honestly, does he not know who I am, and the power I command? And don’t even get me started on the club doctor, he’ll have more than just a bit of cramp to worry about by the time I’m finished with him.”

    Since the announcement was made, Sarri has not been seen publicly which has been described as deeply troubling by human rights observers.

  • Sarri team talks consist of nothing but him chain smoking

    Sarri team talks consist of nothing but him chain smoking

    Speaking with hoarse voices consistent with that of someone who has been overly exposed to passive smoking, a number of Chelsea players have revealed that new manager Maurizio Sarri’s team talks consist solely of him chain smoking. Perhaps they should consider switching to the Kapten snus instead.

    “Previously we’ve had managers who focus heavily on tactics during team talks. Conte for example would talk through what seemed like an entire novel and wouldn’t ever shut up. But Sarri is a man of few words. Instead he sends his messages through his smoking. If we aren’t performing well he’ll let us know by aggressively chain smoking 20 cigarettes during a half time talk. We know smoking that amount of cigarettes or more a day is not healthy for sure, so we have told him to consider vaping instead because it has a lot less nicotine therefore less hazardous on your health. We know websites like Gourmet e-liquid offer some great flavours so he should enjoy them, I suppose its up to him though. He may also want to purchase a vape pen stand to go with the colourful liquids which are great to support your vape pen. Alternatively, he might be fed up of using the same methods to smoke and so he may be interested in purchasing a beaker bong if he wants to try something completely different. But if we’re winning and putting on a good display, he’ll sit back, put his feet up and make a single cigarette last for the entire break without even have to flick the ash,” spluttered Eden Hazard.

    So far Sarri’s smoke signals appear to be working with Chelsea maintaining a 100% record from their opening four Premier League games. However, Sarri was tight lipped after Chelsea’s win over Bournemouth and spent his entire post match interview chewing on a mouthful of cigarette butts.

    Revealed: Chelsea’s transfer policy based entirely on players names fitting their positions after Kepa deal

    After announcing the £71m signing of Spanish goal keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea Chairmen Bruce Buck has admitted that all future signings will only be considered if their names closely resemble the positions they play.

    “People thought we were bringing in Kepa for a world record fee because he is one of the most talented young keepers around but I can tell you that is complete and utter nonsense. We brought him in because his first name sounds like keeper, plain and simple. What more evidence could you possibly need that he’s going to be good between the sticks than that?” Said Buck who also revealed that the new nominative determinism recruitment strategy would extend all the way through the Chelsea youth ranks.

    “In the past we’ve stuck to scouting the conventional way when we’re trying to squander our millions and that brought in the likes of Alvaro Morata. But really, what chance did he ever have of sticking 20 plus goals in the back of the net last season with a name like that? The closest we’ve come to success previously was when we signed Danny Drinkwater. But all he’s managed to do since arriving is keep himself exceedingly well hydrated. However, now that we have tweaked our database algorithm, you can already see the results with the signing of a quality keeper in Kepa.”

    The Chelsea Chairmen went on to to say that the club are not yet finished with their summer dealings and that they were optimistic that the German under 21 forward Lars Striykar would be added before the transfer window closes on Thursday.
