And I notice nothing's being said about Skrtel's gesture to the crowd or Markovic grabbing at Luis's neck off the ball either. I'm almost starting to believe this campaign thing. Still, walking past the miserable and bitter Liverpool fans stuck on their coaches afterwards, whilst chanting 'Steven Gerrard, he cost you the league' has somewhat lessened my anger

Chelsea just posted this on twitter: Don't miss 'An Audience With...' Loic Remy, @GaryJCahill & @Andre_Schuerrle next month... http://che.lc/FeiDSq #CFC That assumes he's still here in a month's time...I'm not reading anything into it though.

Bit harsh on us female fans that go regularly and sing/chant just as loud as the rest, especially your last sentence. Of course there's some female fans that just get dragged along with boyfriends, husbands, etc, or go because it's 'cool', but in my experience, the fact that it's such a traditionally male crowd means that the women who actively choose to be a part of this aren't the problem. It's easy to group female supporters into a stereotype, but I've noticed just as many men in the crowds doing what the women are criticised for. I got deafened at Palace Away by the two women in front of me! I agree with your other points though. Anyway, I think it's a good thing that Mourinho made these comments, as it's sparked a high-profile discussion that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Also, I wish we could ban photography at the Bridge. The number of people who sit back and watch the match through their phone screens never fails to amaze me.

So exciting to see that steps forward are potentially being made. It's always been my preference to expand the Bridge rather than move elsewhere.

An hour til the draw. Who do you guys want? I wouldn't mind a day trip to Brighton or Bournemouth.

To add to the above point, Arsenal will likely be sold on loyalty points too. If you don't manage to get tickets, I would keep an eye on the ticket section here, the official ticket exchange on the official Chelsea website, and on twitter/twickets too. And welcome to the forum!

From one new member to another - welcome! I'm curious what made you a Chelsea fan as a child? I think it's great that Chelsea has so many fans all around the world.

Thanks for the welcomes guys. Well I can't claim it has nothing to do with Chelsea! But I also went to university there and loved the city and miss it a lot.

Bit of a belated reply, but thanks very much CHOULO19 for changing my username.

Hey everyone, Been a lurker for a few months but decided to jump on in and start posting today. I'm planning to move to London within the next few months so hopefully lots more trips to Stamford Bridge in the future! Anyway, looking forward to chatting to you guys around the forum.

Would it please be possible to change my username to Smithette ? (I like to use the same name across the internet... I have no idea why I didn't choose it when registering!) Cheers.
