Ollie

Covered my colleague all day and signed in and out for him... No managers were in, the security guard is one of our mates, he always describes himself as bent but this time he decided to be a cunt and grass. Can't trust anyone these days. Awaiting my hearing, should get a letter in the next couple of days.

Nervous. Been suspended from work, facing the sack. Very nervous and very worried. I should be given the benefit of the doubt as i have a very good work record but we'll see.

Congrats mate, hope all goes well.

I hope Belgium win it because Scotland are already dead and it will be a tragedy if this Belgium side fail to qualify for the world cup.

That's absolutely pathetic. Unbelievable. This is getting more ridiculous by the minute.

What the fuck, that's ridiculous.

Never saw it as was out but heard there was a lot of racism coming from the crowd there, my dad txt me what happened. I think they were a bit pissed off we broke n killed the game lol. Congrats to them. Now hope our seniors can complete the day.

I just have a feeling he'll be injury prone through his Chelsea career and in about 2 years go to some middle of the road German team like Hannover... I really hope he can get fully fit and play well for us though because time is on his side and he has a lot of ability. October 31st, Man Utd, League Cup. His chance.

He's a dirty cunt from that crop of a few years ago with Cassano, Mexes, Dacourt etc, horrible bunch of thugs. I wouldn't mind him here but he's not a likeable person. Could replace Essien. Suppose he's got 3 good years left but if he wants to stay with Roma for life, this thread is rather pointless.

That was rather emotional. Shame it's 5 years old, i'd live to see a newer one. I can't say enough about him, i love him and i miss him so much. He's a true living legend and my only wish now is to see him win the African cup of Nations. i want them to win it so much, you would not believe. If there is a God, DD will lift that trophy one day. Those video's were fantastic. What a man. I'm sure he's happy he came to Chelsea now lol but he shoulda gone back to Marseille after us or gone to the USA. I'm sure he still has a lot more to offer the game.

Suppose 5-0 is par but the performance was horrible from both teams. Ukraine screwed me out of £80. There's always 1 isn't there, always fucking 1! Stupid result. Why were San Marino wearing blue? I liked their sky blue stuff, it's San Marino!

Indeed we have, we've taken more points off them in the prem than anyone else. Even when we were an average mid table side. It used to be they win at SB, we win at OT. It's changed a bit though.

So i was right then Paul Rideout's header, i liked Paul Rideout, he got the winner in the FA Cup final that year from a header too against Man Utd. My first memory of Everton was the semi against Tottenham. They battered yids 4-2, Daniel Amokachi (however u spell that) was unplayable. We drew the away match 3-3, crazy game. Steino and Furlong. Good times!

And we got easily beaten at Goodison last season too. We never lose at home though, i don't know the last time we lost at home to Everton... Maybe Rideout in 94/95? Not sure. Our away record at Villa is pathetic, no win there from 1998-2009! But we have great home records against Everton, Man Utd and Tottenham.

You always do.

Surplus to requirements, maybe but he's done so much for this club it's unbelievable. His goal against Norwich was typical Lamps of a few years ago. The Arsenal game showed a lot about our 'new team' though and you would think his contract will not be renewed. Time to move on probably, although if he stays and becomes a squad player, i wont mind. He can play against the Fulhams, Stokes, Villas etc.

Obviously San Marino is a walk over, Poland away will be very tricky but i think we can go there and do the job.

If Greece away is your toughest game in the group, you really have to be looking at qualifying this time. I'm not saying Greece are easy but considering you've never qualified as Bosnia, you've been given a pretty nice chance to finally break the duck. Really hope you do it. Good luck.

I'm really looking forward to playing San Marino, be fun to watch us score loads of goals and have some fun. He shoulda played Lambert or Holt in a game like this, we don't need the top players in a game like this, give em a fucking rest! 8-0 defoe Hat Trick. We're probably the only country in world football who owes San Marino. In qualifying for USA '94, we needed to beat San Marino by 7 goals and they scored against us after 10 seconds and we won 7-1!! Missed out by a goal against those retards. Gutting. Not entirely sure if we woulda qualified with a 7 goal win but we needed to win by 7 anyway lol to have a chance. Anyway, who are all you guys playing in the next 6 days and how do you think you'll get on?

Oh yeah i forgot about the media shit too because also they need to be ashamed of how they act towards players, not letting them live normal lives and putting every mistake they make in the paper. I am obviously pissed off that they earn so much money but then again, they do have so much pressure on them with millions of ppl watching their every move so in a way, i'm happy not to be famous. I'm also in 2 ways about our money because yeah it's awesome that we're now a world power but the "how long have you supported Chelsea" is a bit annoying. I'm proud to have seen the old Chelsea for around around 9 years but it does make winning feel less than it felt years ago. The days where we always lost at home to Blackburn, away to Coventry and away at Bolton are now a thing of the past which now if you win it's like meh of course it's gonna be an easy win against them. But i always have the argument that we dont have an unfair advantage because we didn't to anything illegal. Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, Bolton, Reading, Newcastle, Tottenham, QPR, Leyton Orient, Brentford EVERYONE has owners. Roman bought us just like every owner has bought everyone. It's just the case of Roman having more money. It's not like everyone has to have the same amount of money. Even Crawley are doing it. We have more than you, deal with it and shut up illegal? no. You mad bro? Obviously. Oh and massively jealous. The difference between us and Man Utd, City, Liverpool is that we have an owner who genuinely loves the club and when he's done with us, the kids will take over. QPR had, maybe still have i dunno, richer owners than us. That happened around 4 years ago, they are currently bottom of the premiership, winless from 7 games!! American's at Man Utd and Liverpool just messed them up. The Glazers put Utd in huge debt and Hicks n Gillette had to sell up as they fucked up over the scale lol. My problem isn't with Chelsea because i still cannot miss a Chelsea game, i still get up at 4am to watch friendlies, Chelsea is so high up in my life it's ridiculous. I do prefer a Chelsea side playing great football, whipping everyone and challenging for every trophy going than just fighting for mid table because having nothing to play for and knowing from August that you ain't gonna win anything is fucking boring tbh. This is the Chelsea that's unmissable, not the Chelsea of 2001 for example. I have a few problems:- The refereeing is a shambles. You get booked for challenges that used to be fair which in my mind are still fair. Dangerous play? Some things that get blown for dangerous play especially in Europe, especially Spain are absolutely unbelievable. High foot? It's football you plank, you have to go for the ball and the studs up challenges, If it's so bad, put football is an indoor sport and remove studs. I see so many red cards and yellow cards which i think to myself, what the fuck could he do? If you can slide for a ball and keep the studs on the floor, you really are a pretty special cunt. Sometimes the ball will be a few inches off the ground but you have to go for it. Football is a contact sport, soon, it won't be. If you win the ball first, it should be fair and dangerous play should only get called up if you actually nail someone! Also, the fact that we seem to be way behind other sports. Rugby, Tennis, Cricket and other sports have has technology helping their sport for years, yet we still have to cope with blind linesmen and shit referee's (although linesmen aren't half as blind and Cricket umpires to be fair). Cricket umpires need help for run outs, we need help for offsides but ffs we will never get it. It's so easy to do too. Let the guy carry on, if he scores, look at it, the ball is fucking dead, you ain't stopping no game. If he fucks it up, play on!! How hard is this shit to comprehend? Even goal line technology is taking forever, it's surely surely such a simple thing. Money, money, money. They have bucket loads, use it! Cheating. Actually there's always been cheating but it's come on so much in the last 10 years from the foreign influence. Players like Suarez SHOULD be banned. Caught once, banned for 2 games. Caught again, banned for 6, caught a third lime? 10 FUCKING GAMES! This would make people stop cheating. The FA can moan but they just don't do anything about it so this will carry on. And yeah, the money is annoying but if it's fair and legitimate, i don't really care that much. It's nice to see teams have some glory. Barca, Real, Liverpool, Man Utd, Bayern, Juve, Milan... these teams have had their time. We're now loving the fact that Chelsea are 4th in global shirt sales And yes, we have won the UCL too so GET IN! Other than al that, i still am very much in love with football, i watch it and check news on my phone almost 24/7. Maybe because i know i've watched Chelsea since '94 makes my love Chelsea as much as i do but one thing is for sure, my love for Chelsea will never fade and die like west hams bubbles. In fact, talking of West Ham, they had rich owners too who messed em up, and now have Gold and Sullivan who have around half a billion each. What have they done? Everyone has rich owners, ours are just better than everyone elses And also, Chelsea are now one of the most hated teams in England. If that aint aint a good reason to carry on watching football and supporting the Chels, i don't know what is lol. Carefree.

It's not the same as it was for sure. I really enjoyed the 90's and early 2000's where there wasn't bucket loads of money but since all the money has come in, it's gotten a bit out of hand. I still love football though like always but i can see where you're coming from. The cheating, the refereeing, the money, the plastic fans. It's a whole new ball game.

I'm actually happy for an international break now so we can have a nice break top of the league. Takes the pressure away for a bit and we can relax. Wouldn't it be so good to beat them there though, it's been a few years and with AVB as their manager, be very sweet. My feeling though is that it's got draw written all over it but we can beat them because although they've won their last 4, they weren't that great against Villa and haven't looked good all season on their own patch. I'll be more nervous about the home game because they broke their Old Trafford record after 23 years without a win, it's 22 years since they won at the bridge and with AVB in charge... worrying lol. I think we'll get something off them in 10 days though, we could win it.

Glad there's a break before then tbh, we can now relax for a couple of weeks, sitting on top of the league and pretty relaxed.

They were shit until the first (very lucky) goal. We can go there and do them i think in a couple of weeks. Villa were playing well, not really looking threatened. Benteke had a huge chance with a header and if that goes in, i reckon they'd win the game. The Yid - Chels game on the 20th is gonna be a real belter of a game with the form both clubs are in.
