Guesting on todays episode of "Simon Jordan Tries to Talk Sense to Clueless Idiots" we have Sam Matterface and Alex Crooks.

Sam Matterface is an absolute walloper. Painful to listen to on commentary during the England games with his incredible bias. All of the media are the same, one minute Southgate is getting slaughtered and now it's, "oh it's clearly working and he's using his past experiences"

Sam Matterface can't finish a sentence about Chelsea without turning it into some cheesey dig and then looking round at Alex Crook for validation. Cringe.

This media people always want to use Chelsea FC as a punching bag when they want to pour their frustrations out

Simon Jordan cooked these lot. For all that talk about experience last season, guess who were the 2 worst players last season ? Sterling & Chilwell Experience is overrated. Talent & tactics will always outshine experience.

Love watching Simon wipe the floor with these clowns!

Really not keen on Matterface... his commentary on England games is so boring and just adds to the dislike and lack of interest the nation shows for the national team. He needs replacing as he just drones on in the same tone 🤦 I actually think the other 3 thought 🙄... Matterface was shown to be out of his depth here, Clive Tyldesley was way way better

“He’s down there a lot” that’s is such a bogus lie he came down to the locker room a couple of times. These guys will say anything to help them win an argument

The person that allows Alex crook on this channel needs a long hard look in the mirror. I don’t believe a word he says, nor do I respect any of his opinions.

Simon Jordan is becoming something of a Legend.

Sam Wasteofspace creates utter confusion every time he opens his trap, what does he actually say that makes sense?

As a Chelsea fan it's very clear now the direction that the owners are moving in. When they first came they thought Brighton was the be all and end all. The wanted a model like Brighton's of buying young unknown players from some not well known league to turn for a big profit. They've now realised that model doesn't give you success. They have slowly edged towards City Group model and it looks like they'll continue to head that way. Joe Shields (ex city talent chief) has been given much more of a say now over signings compared to Stewert and Whitstanley, Neil Bath has left and is likely to be replaced by City's ex youth development manager and they've hired Maresca who was a Pep understudy. We'll see if it works.

I can't believe how much I've turned towards Simon Jordan. I'm a Chelsea fan who couldn't stand the look of him. Now, I listen to every word that leaves his mouth. Just shows you all, Never judge a book by its cover. Cheers, Si !

How on earth is Sam given any air time?

Sam DOESNTMatterface has to be the worst thing of the Euros. How that's a lead commentator I will never know, literally just shouts and can't articulate emotion. Horrendous booking by ITV execs making him lead commentator.

Why will it take time, he did it with Leicester City one season. If you are scared to say CFC will do so well with Enzo Maresca say it and stop saying it will Take time.

Matterface is a plum. Abramovich changed regulary and it was successful.

Sam 'im never wrong' matterface

Simon again with some common sense.

It's 5:17pm that is 6:17pm in Germany

Jordan is on a different level, he's genuinely smart.......the others think they're smart. They're definitely not!

If it wasn’t for Simon I wouldn’t listen.

Matterface thinks he’s important when he’s not.and crooks just spends his entire day on socials telling us what we already know.

I think with journalists and commentators proves that you don’t have to be very intelligent to become one.

What I noticed from Maresca last season with Leicester was that he was creating a winning machine. They were winning almost all the time until they had that bump which is very good for the evolution of the manager.

I think Sam’s frustration is fair and probably in line with my frustration with this Chelsea ownership If the philosophy is the same as the Abramovich era which to win at all costs then why overspend on inexperienced players who need steady years of development under one coach and then have them sacked after 1 year, then hire another one. If the ownership were serious about winning then they would purchase winning players and not sell the players who literally won the UCL It makes no sense!

Do they all have a bet on who can say the word ‘Ultimately’ the most? 😂

Simon you're so right. But the other two just talk just to get known. The former owner never built a team but the new owners are now building a Club as a True Brand and building a Team that will be seen as Face of London. That's the idea.

Amazing Elite Jordanite = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts

Alex Crook being sarcastic about the success of the signings of the 2 Sporting Directors. I’d say half have been successful and half not which is about inline with every other club. The like of Gusto, Palmer, Petrovic Jackson and Caicedo have been good. And there’s still time for the others to prove their worth.

Im not fond of the new appointment but the dumbness that comes out of Alex Crooks mouth is ridiculous. Leicester fans wasnt happy with the styke of play by Enzo? Really? What's fans did he talk to? Im convinced some of this people are on tge powder...

Brick Top is in a good mood again 😂

According to Sam Matterface, Guardiola invented having a shaved head and stubble as well as the high press.

Talksport:clash! Clash! Clash!

Eghbali goes to the training ground "a lot". Which means absolutely nothing to anyone as no one has a clue what "a lot" means, is it once a week? once a month? literally no one knows. Crook and Matterface just drooling on themselves for 10mins straight whilst not saying anything is becoming a talksport classic

Astonishing that this guy did the commentary for the final in Clive Tyldseley's last tournament with ITV, and now we can see how clueless he truly is

Palmer and KDH in the middle of the park will be deadly. Chelsea will be top 3 next season in my opinion

hardly a 'CLASH'...

So many people have blagged jobs for once having a conversation at a garage with Pep Guardiola. 🤣

Chelsea in the Roman era had very little philosophy. It had a "winning culture" but that's not a philosophy in any kind of strategic or tactical sense. It doesn't tell you what players to buy, it doesn't provide a guideline in terms of what abilities to focus on or how to line up or what to do next. It's an abstract, much like the SAS "who dares, wins" is a nice motto but not a philosophy for embracing missions with no planning. If we have to state something that approaches being a philosophy, it was the frankly some times ridiculous focus on short term optimization. There was never any focus on building up, never any focus on thinking long term. It was always just "win now". And it just doesn't work long term, which is why Chelsea cycled through managers, chopped and changed, and managed to send Mata to Man Utd, de Bruyne to City, and Salah to Liverpool. Imagine if Chelsea had been just a little bit patient and Salah and Bruyne had played on the same team as Eden freaking Hazard? But switching focus to the Toddler crew, they bought Chelsea at a couple of billion and they want to make that money back with interest, but part of the deal is that they can't sell for another eight or nine years. That means making the club gain quite a lot in value. Winning a few trophies would be great but it isn't essential. Being perceived as a "big club" is. Tesla is the most valuable car company in the world and they're not even selling that many cars. Why? Because they've convinced everybody that they are in fact a tech company, and the whole car selling thing is just incidental. The Toddlers fired Poch, and I reckont he biggest reason for that was that there just wasn't any obvious way he'd take the team further. And taking the team further, showing progress, is required for Chelsea to get back into the "top club" bracket instead of being "mid table". Poch's style was chaos. It was the only way he got performances. That obviously isn't sustainable. Pure chaos does not build a good brand. Tiki-taka, on the other hand, is still something that makes everybody think of Pep and Barca. That's potentially awesome branding. Can Maresca pull it off? Who knows? It's a gamble. But the owners are big capital investors. Gambling is what they do. Going with Poch for another year wasn't looking too rewarding. Trying something somewhat radical? It has risk for sure, but potentially also a huge payoff. And we have some very good players at this point, who are tied up long term and who do know each other pretty well. And Maresca has an entire preseason.

He rates the squad so highly he brings in a championship midfielder? He missed the bit a year ago when the club spent hundreds of millions on young midfielders? Chelsea owners and their puppets are absolutely clueless and involved the club in the worst transfer window in history.

These manager interviews tell us nothing

He’s lost his hair, he has stubble, he’s smart…oh look…he models himself on Pep ! FFS maybe he models himself on towie. Leicester played terrible last year but fair play…he did his job

It's always Simon Jordan clashing with someone

If you read any of business analysts looking at successful business one of the key reasons for success of Hewlett Packard in the 90's was "MBWA" which means "management by wandering around". So I would suggest Eghbali is doing this to be seen to be interested, learning about training/tactics and the human interaction. This is also shows the players that he is interested and shows he is not an Ivory Tower owner. Football pundits are so arrogant they feel they are the only ones that know anything. They need to realise Football is a business and needs to make money and they need to entertain the customers (fans) and make them win to make the business make money. The age old adage "customers make paydays possible" comes to mind.

I can see him sacked by Christmas

Simon talking to kids

You can clearly feel Simon’s frustration at having to chat with them🤪

Mattersnot is allegedly a CFC fan, he just comes across as another completely anti chelsea part of the media. Maybe still missing his ex mrs

Guys talking absolute nonesense. The owners are not at the training ground all the time. They are back in America most of the season 🙃

Simon Jordan is an amazing pundit, he’s spot on

final will be matterface/dixon on itv or danny murphy on bbc, what have we done to deserve this

I don't see what anyone said in that interview for the comment section to be see angry

Is he ready for chelsea

Talksport have got to many dire pundits these days Matterface and Crook are in the top 3 but the worst has to be Rory jackanory Jennings.

The bias is embarrassing

Next week Simon clashes with his shadow

Alex cooking who will be the first to go 😂😂

Chelsea being short a striker? Hahahaha. Do we actually have one. Jackson isn't a striker. Every time I see someone miss the unmissable, I say, he did a Jackson. In my opinion, the only reason Chelsea improved over the last 5 matches was due to Enzo being unavailable. That made Poch look better than he is. The biggest benefit of Poch being at Chelsea, was team spirit. Not enough at that level of football

Sam Matterface has been famously anti Chelsea for a long time. He almost always speak negatively about Chelsea football club, whenever he gets the opportunity to, in all of his little talksport segments.

Respext to sam matterface talking the truth

Simon lowkey Chels fan 💙

there is no strategy at chels

Alex krook job for the boys

Barring Simon Jordan, these other 2 cats are very lazy when it comes to their analysis and forming an opinion. Do they spend time listening to any of Bohely's interviews? Egbahly organizes a media and he is all of a sudden at every training session?

Boehly PR in full swing by Jordan!

Go Simon!

broken clock is right twice a day. if chelsea become a force again, it's just luck and happenstance. i get simon's point but that's only IF they get it right.

Lot of word salad here

Pompous Sam doesn'tmatterface schooled and rightly so

4:49 the truth from simon jordan-well done as always the players have to shut up his mouth-only training and action at the weekend. they get a lot of millions per year and the result? maresca is like kompany-well done in championship,but then in PL? disaster.maresca is a championship manager or an assistant in PL. maresca speaks the same style as pochettino.therefore the same story and fight for sixth position till tenth.not more. chelsea football club is now chelsea mls fried chicken-what a development and progression.

Alex crook on here as a man united fan criticising Chelsea when ratcliffe is basing his model on what Chelsea are doing and have even highered their former staff in Christopher vivel Buying young and developing players is what Chelsea are doing and he calls it a mess yet it’s also what he said man united are doing who are even worse than Chelsea and he calls it a different direction That little comment about recruitment, hang on mate your club spent 100 million on Anthony that’s the pinnacle of poor recruitment

THE CLASH

Have any of these guys heard about the project, do they understand what is meant by a project? Just a bunch of yokels who only know what they have experienced and think that's all there is.

Investment into football clubs are bad unless Saudi country who have never ending supply

How has Matterface risen so high up the ranks? He’s a dreadful commentator. So smug

@talksport get splatterface of the show man , he is a massive weapon and is ruining match coms

Simon “nothings changed at Chelsea they’ve always chopped and changed”…. 30 seconds later he then says “yes ok they might have stopped buying top players who are ready to win but…” That means it’s bloody changed doesn’t it Simon? 🤦‍♂️

Simon Jordan is worth listening to do you have a friend got a clue I don't know what they're on about those two

Alex Crook is such a huge troll. He knows ManUre is shite ryt now and their stadium is shite so he tries to bring down other clubs to his fanboy clubs level.

esteva willan remember the name 🧑‍🍳

Doesntmatterface!!!

He's Italian, achieved nothing, he's excited, we're not, what a joke Chelsea have become

Who are these 2 no marks???

Sam just a Chelsea hater… then again most are! Embarrassing

Wish he would stop that annoying voice he does

Slow sports news

Matter face worst commentator of all time

Tryna find their Arteta

Sam Matterface is mint he is the only reason i listen to live games on Talk Sport . Intelligent and witty . Top man

I will never warm to him especially as I was very pro poch managing the club I support

chelshit also just lost one of the top youngsters to Liverpool. HAHAHA Joke club.

I disagree with Simon, if Chelsea had kept Pochettino more time I reckon they would have been really good this season, Chelsea are like Man Utd they don't give their coaches time....unlike Liverpool !!!!!
