Don't talk bollocks mate we won't be a mid table team and the fans showed the players how we felt against Sunderland a couple of years ago when Steve Holland was in charge. If your not happy mate that's your prerogative but do better ? the bloody season hasn't started yet your major gripe is we haven't spent the money we used to your new Chelsea and just expect us to win everything and buy everyone well get used it to it mate.

No never have done never will do. As I said most clubs especially Chelsea under Bates have no time for the fans they just expect blind loyalty.

I can say it and I have mate. Don't be so naïve no football clubs board gives a shit about the fans they don't exactly come from the same walk of life as the average fan. In the last few years we've seen clubs and local ones not like Chelsea who are a worldwide club be asset stripped by unscrupulous businessmen Blackburn, Portsmouth, Charlton, Coventry etc etc They have every right to protest they've seen their clubs destroyed what have we seen a geezer put a billion pounds of his own money in and it would have been more if it wasn't for this poxy government. We would be the laughing stock worldwide if we protested a team that's won the league twice in the last four years and are the current cup holders. Not you but please don't anyone put us in the same breath as Arsenal fans . If there was a protest (which there won't be) it would go the same way as West Ham where the ICF reared their ugly heads and threatened fans from marching. The exact same thing would happen at Chelsea the protesters would be accused of being left wing agitators and a counter demonstration would see all the Headhunters return and loads of racists from all over London and beyond most of them not Chelsea fans.

I've seen it all know fans who don't go to games but are willing to go to the Bridge (probably for the first time) to protest. There won't be any protests because there's nothing to fucking protest about .You've seen trophy after trophy and your still not satisfied. The days of buying everyone are over get used to it support the club or fuck off stop acting like spoilt kids.

Just got back terrible atmosphere you could hear a pin drop our support it has to be said is very quiet these days friendly or not. As for the game it occurred to me it was like a Champions league game where the strongest team in the group play the minnows. The team needs major surgery and that won't happen overnight so a difficult season is on the horizon.

It might have less importance, but I don't see the Community Shield as a friendly. Each to their own, though It depends really on how old you are the Charity Shield was a kickabout and rarely sold out. These days because football is overanalysed the media make it out to be bigger and more important than it is how many can remember the 2012 game at Villa Park?. We only half filled the Holte End that day and if it was changed from Wembley to Old Trafford it would never sell out

Three. Arsenal, City and Lyon.

There is no way that is going to happen and why would you want it to?. These players can't be risked getting injured in a nothing game like this and to be honest if we played a weakened team against City I wouldn't care. I'm going on Sunday and if we lose I won't be losing any sleep the Charity Shield is a friendly nothing more and by all accounts City are having trouble selling tickets.

Maureen is doing his usual scorched earth policy he does it everywhere he goes. He knows he's fucked City are miles ahead of them and they are in a fight for a top four position so what does he do he starts blaming the players exactly what he did at Chelsea, He'll be gone very soon Pep (another slimy prick) has completely overshadowed him and Mourinho just can't accept being second best. Look at Pogba and Sanchez world class players at Juve and Arsenal utterly average playing for him. He's asking for Woodward to sack him he knows the writing is on the wall he'll get his compo and that's the last we will see of him on these shores thank fuck. He's also without Rui Faria for the first time and as regards to last season I think Conte missed Steve Holland massively.

Jamie Wilkinson is a twat this article confirms it.

So many posters on here have no concept of that mate. How anyone can complain about a pre season game with a new manager in charge just brings a whole new level of being a prick. Do people not realise that these games are lucrative kickabouts and they are just to kick off the cobwebs but more importantly the players don't want to risk getting injured playing in a pre season friendly.

Good luck for this season to the team with the greatest name in football bar none Austrian team FC Admira Wacker Modling. They lost 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday I shall be looking out for their score every week.

Loved the Fast Show looks dated now like all sketch shows their very much of their time. But all Simon Day's characters have stood the test of time Competitive Dad, John Actor and my personal favourite Dave Angel.

Going to see them at the Roundhouse in September can't fucking wait.

Are you saying your not excited by the signing of Rob Green UJ ?. He made as many appearances for Huddersfield last season as I did. Think Sarri's most difficult task will be keeping his cool with the twattish British media.

True I'm old enough to know better.

As usual from you a post saying how shit we are and how great everyone else is. Your not a Chelsea fan I'm convinced of it you never have anything positive to say you have no concept of what supporting your team is.

So a 59 year old man smokes so fucking that's all the media are interested in '' How do you think Sarri will do at Chelsea ? Well someone who smokes is obviously a man who can't be trusted and of course he's the new Chelsea manager so therefore he's obviously a man of low morals. Reminds me when I was a teenager my two worse habits were smoking and wanking I was a twenty a day man and I used to smoke like a trooper

If you think Tibo is unlikeable he's Mother Theresa compared to this prick. Has a huge ego smashed up dressing rooms when he's been dropped and apart from anything else is just an average keeper who's best days (and they weren't great ) are long gone just look at that England -Scotland game that was the death knell of his career. An arthritic pensioner would have got nearer those free kicks than he did.

The BBC love in continues with Liverpool. A couple of weeks ago we had a documentary about Dalglish this weekend one about Shankly. Shankly was a man of his time and he sounds ridiculous now this is the man who said '' Football is not a matter of life and death it's more important than that'' of course the media lapped it up as Shankly was to use a football cliché a character. After Hysel and Hillsborough you don't ever hear any Scousers mentioning that quote it's become their Basil Fawlty don't mention the war.

I agree except for the amaze balls bit

Nothing wrong with what he said but it was just a pretty bland statement and as I said all clubs have gagging clauses. Besides he's always going to be welcomed back by the fans not so if he slagged the club and fans off. Most of our ex players would get a warm welcome back after they retired if they brought on the pitch at half time or whatever except Gallas who most be unique in being the only player hated by three different sets of fans us, goons and the god forbids.

Sarri no. Can't believe someone's got the hump over the name of a thread and frankly this overused word class has got to stop. All football clubs are ruthless especially these days if your looking for class and the usage of buy a Downton Abbey DVD mate.

Totally agree doesn't matter what walk of life your from golden rule never slag off your former employers. Must clubs have gagging clauses Chelsea have had them since Bates and when you think of the revolving door of managers we've had I can't recall any of them bad mouthing Chelsea.

I've got a very thick London accent I make Danny Dyer sound like Hugh Grant.
