I remember a geezer a few years ago on Ebay he was selling original 70's home tops. But I think he gave up because no one would buy them simply because of there sizes which were small and medium. Blokes like me who were kids in the 70's the chances of us getting into a small or medium now was never going to happen and you couldn't buy them for your kids because that era means nothing to them they would just want the current kit. Can't blame them kids today piss themselves at the shorts we used to wear like we used to at the Stanley Matthews ones.

To be honest I don't know anyone that would I'm a casual from the 80's and I like my clothes and trainers but the idea of spending ninety quid on a football top is out of the question.

People are free to spend there money on what they like but £90 for a football top is taking the piss.

What's your favourite tv show of all time When the goat comes in ? Ok bad pun I'll get me goat.

Sky most be gutted that the only final day drama is us and Liverpool and that's drama with a small D because they are going to slaughter Brighton who will be so on the beach they might as well come out wearing flip flops and sunglasses. One really worrying thing for me is that Spurs have come higher than us in 3 out of the last six seasons I know they've won fuck all but that could be the norm for the next few seasons .

Why would you care about his future conferences if he's not the Chelsea manager and I'm fighting tooth and nail to get a ticket next week mate and the only thing that's annoying me is pricks like you. If we win next week he'll have won two major trophies in two years something the likes of Poch hasn't managed so not that fucking atrocious hey mate.

Just fuck right off mate .

In the 70's black kids were usually good footballers but never supported a team if they did it tended to be Liverpool or Man United. No denying there was a serious problem with racism at Chelsea in the 70's and 80's. My theory is that a lot of Chelsea fans came from the suburbs and beyond and they were very white areas where us London boys were used to socialising and going to school with black kids.

Of course. Part of English culture not just football get any group of lads together and they'll go on the piss. In the 70's footballers would do Q&A and they would say favourite meal steak, favourite drink Guinness a lot of them smoked. That's the diet of a builder not a footballer

To be fair that was England's best team for 30 years don't know where Ince was for that game as it's Euro 96. In the squad were Sol Campbell and Les Ferdinand you could have had Andy Cole and Ian Wright but neither were as good as Shearer especially at international level. I remember Viv Anderson becoming the first black England international in 1978 followed shortly after by Lawrie Cunningham and Cryille Regis. John Barnes got some dreadful stick playing for England especially at Wembley but I don't think it was an entirely racist thing because so did Chris Waddle. Apart from Sheringham and Adams they all look totally bloody miserable

Well yes I would never praise a Liverpool player and yes of course him being terrible for us ( I know he wasn't given much of a chance) but he's a good finisher no doubt about it but when he's quiet like yesterday he looks ordinary. I can't comment on what he was like for Roma because I don't watch Italian football. There was a tongue in cheek element to my post hence the video.

I'm convinced he'll be a one season wonder FB and I've posted this before but this is his Chelsea career in a nutshell

Ain't it time for a name change mate can't say I would have been pleased if he scored a last minute goal and then came on to TC and there's someone called One Mo Salah.

Two nil down to Southampton the season is done we all except it but typical fucking Chelsea we then get our act together and go on a unbeaten run. They say when it comes to football it's the hope that kills you well Chelsea are living proof of that always have been always will be.

I know we won it and will probably be in it next year but the Europa League is the ugly sister to the Champions League. If you get knocked out of a competition that should be it your rewarding mediocrity. A half fit Costa is streets ahead of Morata and Monreal is absolutely diabolical the only other person worse than him with crosses is Dracula

For fucks sake are you for real?. You sound like your writing a letter to the Telegraph.'' There were grown men swearing at a soccer match what brutish behaviour''. It's football not the last night of the proms. No one intentionally swears in front of kids but people get caught up in the moment and emotions run high. You've been round long enough to have seen worse than swearing and hand gestures (do you mean this one?)

There are some people no matter how talented they are you just can't warm to Courtois is definitely one of those. There's something about him it's probably the self importance and smugness he radiates. Good keeper yes great ? I have my doubts.

Kept thinking of the Four Tops song during the game but with different lyrics '' You'll be going loco watching Bakayoko five minutes is to long'', '' You'll be pulling out your hair drowning in despair 40 million buys you no flare''.

It's down to Brent Council who capped the capacity but Spurs asked it to be raised and they obliged. As a former Brent Council resident I wouldn't trust them at all.

Someone's done a mashup very funny.

A good post and I wish I had the answers. One thing is definite though if the corrupt and incompetent F.A. did sell Wembley to the Fulham chairman there would be an outcry but after a while football fans and the media would shrug their shoulders and accept it. If Abramovich bought Wembley the country would go fucking apoplectic there would be marches, questions in the house and the Daily Mail and Express would go into meltdown.

It's funny FB in the early 90's when the Taylor report was published Bates wanted a capacity of 42,000 which then was probably just about right even though in those days you could count on one hand the number of times we would fill it. But we went through the same shit with the council back then the West Stand didn't get completed till 2000 I think. In Bates defence he didn't know how big football would become and I don't blame him trying to find other streams of revenue for the club. But it almost looked like the Shed was an afterthought the temporary stand not sure of the capacity but it was the same near enough as the rebuilt Shed.

Could be Willie but I think it's a case of too little too late.

We have to be brutally honest Chelsea are not going to get an extra 18,000 fans to watch us play the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth etc especially in midweek. Bigger ground means bigger away support but there's no way Burnley could bring 5,000 to Chelsea in midweek so there will be empty seats. Can't see them knocking down the hotel but making the Shed a 6,000 capacity was a joke and the blame is firmly at Bates door for that. West Ham do get much larger crowds although their twattish fans aren't happy but to use a line from the League of Gentlemen '' They are a local club for local people'' Chelsea aren't our support comes mainly from the Home Counties. Historically our crowds during midweek have always been poor because fans have to travel into London and then get through the rush hour traffic on the road and on the Underground. Fans will have to travel even further if we are at Wembley and I expect crowds to be below 42,000 for some games. Not going to lie FB I'M a bit concerned about the next few years but it's Chelsea and as you know predictable we are not.
