As Chelsea slip into the bottom half of the table, frustrations boil over.
After giving it large to the West Ham lot, Blues fan Billy Tarbuck is knocked out by an unexpected haymaker.
The humiliated youngster is wheeled by paramedics through a sea of jeering West Ham fans.
Back in the boardroom, Todd Boehly looks clueless again.
According to gossip newsletter Popbitch, he tells a group of agents that Chelsea have a guaranteed place in the Champions League.
"We're in it every year" he laughs, before they break the bad news...
As he clings on to his job, Graham Potter resorts to some very forced swearing to impress the Blues faithful.
"We'll try and win the... fucking Champions League", he stutters at a fan forum.
He's sacked with the joint-worst record in Chelsea's Premier League history.
Desperate to stop the rot, Boehly turns to the finest footballing mind he knows: James Corden.

His optimism rubs off on Frank Lampard, who is stunned when his side go down 2-0.
"We didn't realise how good they were” admits shell-shocked gaffer.
After more league humiliation, Boehly is heckled by fans at Stamford Bridge.
Furious, he storms into the Chelsea dressing room and delivers an hour-long bollocking, branding the players "embarrassing".
But it works - a win at Bournemouth means Chelsea are safe from relegation.
After months of chaos, fans are relieved when Chelsea line up a sensible, data-driven coach.
Or so they thought...
