Happy Thanksgiving to you from all of us at Chelsea Offside. As has become tradition around these parts, we have foregone helpings of thinly sliced turkey in favor of a cooked Guus.

Awkward

We hope that each of you manages to enjoy the holiday festivities - with family, friends or otherwise - on this day of many thanks. Or shall we refer to is as the birth of private enterprise? I digress.

Things may not be going as well as we would like (understatement), but lest we forget all that we have to be thankful for - namely this wonderful, tradition-rich football club. And, yeah, don't forget about that generous Russian benefactor that has helped drive us forward toward the elite.

Arduous as times are at the moment, they are after all brief moments in time. Never forget where we were and how far we've come. Be thankful.
