Football was big before Roman arrived but it went massive after he arrived the TV deals got bigger every year apart from the last one. Your stating the obvious in a lot of your points about the cup final and Munich etc. Teams like Brighton were more or less fucked after the Goldstone Ground closed they would never have built a new ground if there wasn't loads of money in the Premiership. Smaller clubs have made it to the top but staying there is the main problem the top six will stay as it is indefinitely Everton and Leicester like this year will be next and the rest are frankly also rans who could be involved in a relegation battle every year.

There's an article in today's Guardian titled ''Pochettino's success at Tottenham cannot be judged on trophies alone''. Have you ever heard such apologist bollocks ?. If you want to be considered as an elite club you have to win a major trophy which hopefully Spurs never will. Can you imagine an article saying Sean Dyche should be sacked because he hasn't won anything yet. So many Spurs fans in the media going back to the 60's just remember Portsmouth have won the FA cup more recently than Spurs.

All this about potential managers might not want to come to Chelsea or Arsenal for that matter because of no Champions League football is a pile of steaming bullshit. All managers and players are interested in one thing and one thing only and that's money.

Probably Chelsea's first legend certainly after the war. As a kid I would look at our meagre honours list but at least we had the 1955 team captained by Roy RIP sir.

Half a billion can't even rebuild a football ground in West London for that FB might get half the job done.

He's not worth 12 billion and even if he was you can't lose that sort of money overnight because of the UK having a diplomatic spat with Russia.

Sterling looks like he's running to get to the toilet and he's holding his arse cheeks in. Bet he would shit on the floor because he's always missing in front of empty spaces

Only one day and I'm sick of the Man City media wankfest. Pep loves himself so much he probably sends a Valentine's card to his right hand every year. He is so smug and self satisfied like a Spanish James Corden.

Off topic I occasionally do a football bet on Sunday's in the European leagues. I saw this teams name from Austria and it's great FC Admira Wacker Modling that's class . I'm going to start looking out for their results lost 6-2 at home today.

Gallas fucking hell mate is that the best you can do ?

So someone who you think is shit and inconsistent and has in your words mental trouble can turn it around are you for real mate ?

So you want two blokes without a minute of managerial experience to be in charge because they used to play for us ?. Straight from the BT studio to the dugout for Lamps and promote Morris who has the pick of the best young players and frankly anyone could do a decent job. Just can't see Jody Morris becoming a first team manager of any club unless he's had a road to Damascus type conversion attitude wise he was the epitome of the Billy big bollocks footballer.

Especially living in London FB. If you come from Manchester you'll support and hate either City or United and who else Stockport ?. Leeds are a one city club Newcastle hate Sunderland vice versa. Growing up in North West London you had Spurs, Arsenal, West Ham, QPR you also had Man United and Liverpool fans but they were plastics and you laughed at them. I watched Man City- Liverpool last night but I rarely watch football on the telly or the net these days I'm just not interested it's gone way past saturation point. I've only been to one neutral game in my life when I was 16 QPR- Sheffield Wednesday with a mate and we nearly got done on the tube by about 20 geezers in their 30's. We got off at Shepherds Bush calling them wankers and giving them the old Harvey Smith two finger salute then the fucking doors opened and we had to have it on our toes ha ha.

Modern day footballer pay before glory. Wilkins is a rare sort of person no one has a bad word to say about him.

I've been in a bad mood since last Sunday FB yesterday didn't help either

Don't agree with any of that I hate all football clubs bar Chelsea your football team are like farts you love your own and hate everyone else's crude analogy but so what. No offence mate but living in Slovenia you don't quite grasp the hatred and it is hatred fans have of other clubs. Respect and applaud Man United and City you must be fucking joking mate that's something I would expect a vicar to say not a Chelsea fan. Why anyone wants the league to be more competitive is beyond me I want Chelsea to be the best and bollocks to everyone else.

What we've got is a Mexican stand off both parties refusing to back down . Conte reminds me of when I was 17 when I had to give a weeks notice man alive I took the piss I stole everything I could get my hands on and was surly and couldn't wait to get out. And that's what Conte is now he's not even trying to disguise it he plainly doesn't give a fuck to the point where last seasons histrionics look embarrassing. The diving into the East Stand are now replaced by a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders.. So another manager I don't give a fuck we are the famous CFC and if he stays two weeks or two years just don't lose to fucking Tottenham sorry Antonio 28 years and we lost to those cunts time to go mate.

I think it will be a minutes applause like when Ossie died you couldn't trust those inbred pricks to be respectful for a minute.

City fans were chanting to the Scousers you live in the past well that first half was the City of Alan Ball in the mid 90's.

A brief mention of Ray Wilkins here I was at the game. This was the season I started going regularly only missed one home game great days even though we had a terrible team. http://www.chelseasupportersgroup.net/2012/06/10-bovrils-please-197980/

My childhood hero along with Peter Osgood. Captain at 18 a Chelsea legend who when he played for England there was enormous pride amongst Chelsea fans as we were short of star players back then. Thoroughly decent bloke no ego at all and always had time for the fans RIP Butch.

West Ham hiding behind the old bill a couple of years ago. Watch them start chanting as soon as the van comes utter wankers.

Well said mate the most stupid stat is passes completed when half of these will be back and square passes. Football is a simple game that gets totally over analyzed. The average footballer is as thick as shit but fans hang on there every word yet all they do is talk in cliches and soundbites. People think Jamie Carragher is a top pundit but look at the sort of man he is spitting at a young girl because his team lost it's pathetic.

You are a fucking moron mate.

I was at the game at the Bridge when they last beat us 28 years ago it had to end sometime but it still hurts like fuck. I've said on this forum before that our younger fans are beginning to realise why us older fans hate Spurs so much. They are our number one rivals going back to the cup final in 1967 and now after finally beating us at the Bridge they are going to be insufferable they really will believe they are now the team in London despite having a trophy cabinet emptier than a hermits address book. I'm going to have to emigrate if they beat us in the Cup Final hopefully the special needs one will have something up his sleeve. As for yesterday well lets be honest none of us can be surprised our form in 2018 is just appalling and I think a parting of the ways in the Summer is inevitable and frankly the right decision and that includes half the team and even though he didn't play yesterday that includes our egocentric keeper with the ski slope nose.
