Man United last week last 10 minutes playing long balls. Scousers today last 10 minutes playing long balls anything to say Jurgen ?

It's such a shit area if it was a country it would be a failed state. The locals will probably burn it down when they have there next get together or as it's better known a riot.

The reason we changed from this badge to the CFC with the stars in the 70's was that the badges were hand stitched and the women who sewed them on complained that they were too awkward to do. They weren't commercially available then so they would only have had to do a home and away strip with a few spares. My first ever Chelsea kit was just a generic blue football top and my mum sewed the badge on that was the same for kids whatever team you supported.. I had the blue shorts with the white seam and white socks that was all you could get at the time. Football shirts started to be sold in sports shops in about 1975 I would guess. I bought our away kit (red !!) in 1977 from the supporters shop on the Fulham Road and I still have the top which I will try and upload one of these days.

The British transport system is still stuck in the Victorian times and bloody expensive. You should see it when we get a bit of snow and everything stops to a grinding halt.

Quite the opposite as it goes when we played the Scousers in 2012 there was only one train back to Liverpool if it was a three o clock kick off there would have been at least another two. If the game had gone into extra time there would have been no trains at all. When Wigan won the cup in 2013 great day for them and you want to get back to your home town to celebrate with your own because of the 5.30 kick off they weren't getting home till one in the morning. Don't think many Cardiff fans would agree with you after they only got 5,000 against Fulham.

Man United will be live on the box for the 56th consecutive time when they play Wigan in the F.A. cup. It's such a piss take and it's apparently just to appease Chinese viewers. Man United at home to Wigan it hardly sets the pulse racing. When you hear pundits go on about the magic of the cup it's just empty words. What do we get on cup final day a 5.30 kick off (again solely for overseas viewers). An Xfactor non entity singing abide with me, the sheer awfulness last year of Tinie Tempah and so many streamers that when the cup is lifted you can't see the players. It's like a second rate superbowl and it's fucking tedious and embarrassing.

Firstly how the fuck did this lot win the league?. Second I honestly believe that there are posters on here who are more tactically clued up then Ranieri. I thought he might do like he did against Monaco and play Huth on the right wing. Bit churlish to complain about a 3-0 victory against the champions (ha fucking ha ) but Matic well we got rid rid of him once didn't we.

People are allowed to vent there frustration in whatever way they like after they have paid there money and don't need anyone telling them how to behave at football. So your watching an English football London derby and think that because only Cahill is English that makes us less English and more European bollocks mate. You have no idea of the term plastic the bloke was at the game it hardly makes him plastic does it?. I would love you to have watched Chelsea in the 70's and 80's son you wouldn't have lasted five minutes.

The epitome of the modern day footballer never stops moaning on and it would appear off the field. Can't hold the club to ransom if it's true get rid off the ugly greedy bastard.

We can all wax lyrical about how good the ground will look but the real concern is how much tickets will cost in 2021. The average fan has already been priced out and the amount of corporate seating will be off the scale. Wembley looks the only viable option but not sure how much of the ground will be fully open. Doubt we would get 60,000 for the visit of Burnley, Swansea etc although away fans will come down in numbers because of the Wembley effect. Another drawback of playing at Wembley is the area is a massive shithole and makes Tottenham look like Primrose Hill.

Wasn't sure where to post this. Bates treated ex players with utter disdain so good to see the club doing something for the old boys. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/every-chelsea-legend-over-60-has-received-a-300-harrods-hamper-from-the-club-each-christmas-since-a3437141.html

I remember me and my mates going to Fulham in 79 I think it was. At Fulham Broadway a well known Chelsea face and his chaps got on was something to boast about at school on the Monday. Chelsea just stood in the middle of their end for the whole game not a punch thrown. Remember trying to chat up some posh totty when we played them a few years later as it was the same day as the boat race. We played Fulham at the Bridge in the league cup a few years ago they sent back 3,000 tickets, we played QPR in the cup at their Meccano shit stadium and the crowd was 15,000 they only gave us 3,000 tickets. They always go on about how much they hate us but can't sell their allocations when they play us shows them up to be the bellends they are.

I had a paper round on a Sunday as a kid the result I always used to look out for was the Australian Chelsea. You remember F.B. when there was no British football in the Summer they would use Aussie results for the pools. They were as shit as we were in the late 70's as I recall !
-
There are four West London clubs us and three non entity's Fulham, QPR and Brentford who are united in their hatred of us. We just see them as a annoying little brother who needs a clip around the earhole to let them know their place. Fulham fans are so posh they have butlers serving them foie gras on silver platters at half time.

Never fulfilled his potential because he wasn't allowed to.Who but Mourinho can see a talented 19 year old who was caught in a massive tug of war between us and Man United and convert him into a functional midfielder. Mourinho more or less did the same by trying to turn Oscar into James Milner.

Who gives a shit about revenue. Competitions like the Champions League were created simply to sell advertising which is why UEFA are tearing their hair out because over here B.T. get a tiny audience compared to I.T.V. Football was not created by Sky in 1992 and Chelsea existed before 2003 pal.
-
Can't agree there the F.A. cup is the world's oldest football knockout competition and should be treated with respect. Football traditions should not be sacrificed just to appease the wealthy. Chelsea can be be the biggest club in the world but without it's core support from London and the surrounding areas it will have no heart or soul. All football clubs are named after the area they reside in even though Chelsea is in Fulham. Go through everyone of the 92 English clubs from Plymouth to Carlisle and they all have their roots in the local community.
-
Bit of a contradiction mate you don't give a shit but on the other hand you say it's a must win game. You have no idea about English football traditions do you ?. I waited 26 years for Chelsea to win a meaningful cup. When we beat Boro in 97 I was pissed (English meaning) for a week.
