For old school Chelsea like me seeing us play in the 1970 kit almost brought a tear to my eye. The reason I'm a Chelsea fan was I was cheering them on in the 70 cup final as a four year old

Still ruining football though it's all down to interpretation in tennis or cricket the ball is out or the the batsman is out. I was suspicious of goal line technology but it works like a dream VAR is massively flawed.

Don't think he'd make the final 11 not a fan of crosses

And yet you thought it was worthy of a thread and then berate other posters choices. Someone picks a team why do feel the need to pick the bones through it and how do you know that when a player gets individual recognition it means nothing to them ?

Got to say I don't see the point in comparing other clubs to us Klopp got time etc what works or doesn't work at other clubs means fuck all to Chelsea.

What does he do for a living work in a safari park absolute twat. He looks like a big game hunter pity the shit team he supports aren't ha fucking ha.

Schumacher would probably get jail if it was now it's assault no other word for it.

No you're right I'm thinking more of his first spell with us. He did publicly have a go at Luke Shaw amongst others at Man United.

That's to glib mate. He's a well paid manager who accepted the role and is extremely well paid for doing so. He is not above criticism just because of his stature at the club. To be honest and I'm not trying to character assassinate him but he's a little bit smug and pleased with himself. Mourinho has many faults but he always used to protect his players Lampard has blamed the defenders publicly recently and said we need to go into the transfer market. He has to accept the blame for the abject performances the buck stops with him. When I pay to watch Chelsea I will give the manager stick if it's warranted I don't give a shit who he is us oldies have seen it before with John Hollins great player dreadful manager. We lost Hazard which of course was a massive blow and the transfer ban was a kick in the nuts but we won the Europa League, lost on penalties in the league cup and came third so this was not a dreadful team he was taking over.

Lose Sunday and we won't see fourth again. I didn't fancy us against Spurs and we turned them over but then the display against Southampton was frankly one of the worse I've seen in years.

Just got back fucking shambles sums it up I can't be bothered writing anymore.

The only person who should be rewarded is Hudson Odoi's agent the geezer is a fucking genius.

So many talking points but the one that's more or less been forgotten is that blind twat of a ref gave the decision to Spurs after their keeper did a Schumacher on Alonso,

Great night even though till Torres scored the longest night !

Well what a day I don't mind admitting I had zero confidence in us winning the game I'm old school Chelsea so we always fear the worse !. I've had my doubts about Lamps but today he schooled that has been Mourinho. And us for Tottenham and their grubby fans no surprise to me I've always known they're shitheads. Apparently they've had no takers for naming rights for the ground how about the principality of pricks.

I agree with you except for the first point no I don't think the board will change. Anyway I'm off to the boozer so to everyone on TC carefree wherever you may be.

Which they never have in the past and goodwill won't last long if results don't improve. He's under pressure and if we get creamed by the mou's yids the cracks will start to appear. Can't make it today but I've got mates who are going and trust me a heavy defeat against that lot will have consequences.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/dec/21/frank-lampard-chelsea-defensive-failings-ngolo-kante-jose-mourinho-spurs The Guardian are well known Chelsea bashers but I think this is a decent article.

Oh God the one game of the season that I dread I've hated Spurs since 1975 when they more or less relegated us and the hatred just grows stronger. My Christmas spirit will be severely kicked in the nuts if we lose this and to be honest I fear the worse. We were 12 points ahead of this rabble before Mourinho took over and they could overtake us today they haven't been outstanding it just goes to show how piss poor we've been. Lamps will be under pressure if we lose this anyone who thinks he won't be is burying their head in the sand.

Better player then Barkley and probably speaks better English than Barkley

He looks like the version of Michael Jackson on Bo Selecta.

Lampard is out of his depth we all know it the job has come to soon for him. I said earlier in the season he needs an experienced number two in such a big job as a novice manager. Lose to the yids next week and Lampard will be in trouble because the way we are playing I can't see any end to this downhill slump. Goodwill can only go so far and some of us are near breaking point already other managers have been sacked for less (I'm not advocating Lampard should be sacked) but four out five defeats against teams in terrible form is not acceptable and legend or not you can't overlook how shit we've been and the buck stops with him.

Love it, back in the 70's all you could get were random blue football shirts but you could buy the Chelsea badge and sow it on which my mum did.
