Chelsea fans fume after Graham Potter’s five-word comment the moment he entered press conference after West Ham clash

GRAHAM POTTER has angered Chelsea fans with a comment in his post-match press conference.

The former Blues boss returned to Stamford Bridge on Monday for the first time since being sacked in April 2023.

His West Ham side led 1-0 at half-time before Pedro Neto inspired Chelsea to a comeback and all three points.

After the final whistle Potter sat down for his post-match press conference in the media room.

And as he took his seat he said: “Don’t miss being in here.”

Many Chelsea fans responded in kind with Potter one of the most unpopular managers at the Bridge in recent years.

One reacted saying: “We don’t miss him either. Where was that approach when he was here. They were crazily well drilled.”

Another added: “The feeling is mutual 😆

A third wrote: “News flash buddy. We don’t miss you too!”

And another commented: “We’re literally happy you’re not here.”

Potter, 49, struggled in his short stint at Chelsea and won just 12 of his 31 matches in charge.

Fans celebrated his sacking with some declaring the club was “free”.

Brighterdaysahead (Mares’ Hurdle) 4-6

Constitution Hill (Champion Hurdle) 4-6

Teahupoo (Stayers’ Hurdle) 11-10

That little lot adds up to an 80-1 winner – if they all do the business.

Of course you may disagree and want to change some of the picks – maybe East India Dock in for Lulamba.

That ups the odds to 109-1 – or do a couple of variations as one hotpot usually chinned over the week.

My £2 on that list has got a lot more chance of copping than the National Lottery at the weekend.

And there’s also this 12-1 Willie Mullins treble proving ‘supremely popular’ with punters.

‘I’ve got that burden off my back’ – Kyren Wilson reveals why he plans to play in EVERY snooker tournament

KYREN WILSON plans to play in every tournament unlike Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump to install a “fear factor” in baize rivals.

The Warrior lifted a third ranking title this season following a 10-9 victory over Barry Hawkins in the German Masters final, which finished past midnight local time.

Wilson, 33, has improved since his maiden Crucible success last May and is not looking to skip any tournaments this year like the Rocket or Juddernaut often do.

The world champion – who earned £100,000 for the victory in Germany – said: “I’m just riding the crest of a wave.

“I wanted to make the most of winning the world championship and kick-on and try to win more and more and more.

“I have got such an air of confidence about me now. It’s been an incredible season so far.

“I have been close in the two Triple Crown events since becoming world champion – semis in the UK Championship and final of the Masters.

“It’s so hard to have a break when you feel like you can go to any event and win it.

“I’d be gutted to sit at home and see one of my opponents win an event and think: Why am I not there myself?’

“If you take your foot off the gas, you can quite easily go missing for a long period of time.

“So I think it’s important to keep grinding, keep going and the more you win, the more of a force you become – and install that fear factor into people if you keep turning up and winning.”

To illustrate his commitment to the schedule, Wilson is set to play six times over the next two days – Tuesday and Wednesday – in the behind-closed-doors Championship League in Leicester.

It means more time away from his Kettering home but he feels it is worth it to build on what he did last year in South Yorkshire.

The father-of-two said: “You have to be ruthless. You have to be quite selfish and it’s very hard to do that with a young family.

“My kids barely see me. I’m here, there and everywhere, but at the same time you have to look at the positives.

“There are more opportunities, more chances to win. New destinations to go and visit. I’m trying to thrive off it.

“It’s just that inner belief. I’ve got that burden off my back of being a potential world champion.

“It’s all well and good people saying you can do it, but until you have done it you’ve got so much pressure on your shoulders.

“Now that’s gone, I’m just embracing life and embracing my career and I’m loving being a snooker player.”

Wilson had a dramatic buzz cut before flying to Berlin last month but despite potting in a hair-raising final that went to a 19th frame, he is not going to turn future trims into a superstition before his next appearances.

He laughed: “It’s growing now. I’m to start run through my fingers through it. Hopefully at the next event it won’t be so drastic.”
