One of the most prolific EPL/EFL academies, with the likes of Powell, Salako, Osborn, Southgate, Morrison, Scannell, Grabban, Routledge, Moses, Jonny Williams, Clyne, Zaha, Razak, Jerome Williams, Kwesi Appiah, Wan-Bissaka, Mitchell, Madueke, Rodney, Rak-Sakyi, Imray, Ozoh, Whitworth, and so many more coming through over the years.

Indeed, but only eight of these good enough for the Premiership? Odd to see Appiah mentioned on the same breath as Zaha. You know you've got an Academy when you can sell for £20m players who've never played for your first team. Chelsea (spot) excellent at this.

Not saying Appiah is anywhere near Zaha, just listing (some of the) CPFC grads who have made it pro.

Yes absolutely we are entitled to be annoyed. It's still weird that people interpret the move in that way though. Both those things can be true without cancelling each other out.

In reality it speaks nothing about the player's character either negative or positive. It is what it is.

Yep, it's football forum stuff and just like shouts from a football crowd slagging off the millionaires on the pitch it's to be taken within that context.

Obviously there's a line for anything but people swear and that won't change.

I remember the Appiah signing.

It's mind boggling just how far we have come from there.

His grandparents live in the flat next to mine. I see Shaun from time to time.
Grandad speaks very fondly of Jesse. He was offered a better deal at Chelsea (including training with the first team) and so left us. It happens.

Is that his paternal or maternal grandparents?
I worked with his mum, jolene's father at bexley college. He was called bob and he was an electrician there. He used to give posters from me to shaun for the players to sign.

That’s great to hear that he’s keeping well. He is a very nice man.

If you see him may you say that Michael from the college gym says ‘hi’ please.
