hi and welcome....with tickets, have you spoken to other recognised supporters clubs ...sometimes they might have one or two going. But there are several sites where tickets can be obtained at face value from other supporters who cannot go for one reason or another. If this interests you, I can put you in touch...just pm me.

because all our half decent ones are loaned out getting higher level football and gaining the experience for the staff at Chelsea to assess whether they can cut it at the highest level...is that the right answer?

not sure why people are having a dig at Marina Granovskaia for. She is the deal maker and is highly respected in the business side of football. She doesnt get involved with deciding which player is right for the club until negotiation stages. I do believe she misread the John Stones situation and should have gone in with a big bid first off. Emenalo has seen his role change and to be honest the further he is away from the footballing matters ...the better. One day, he will get found out but it was interesting that the board used him as their mouthpiece ref Mourinho sacking. Seemed like they were setting him up for a fall from grace...and that CTV interview was bloody awful. I too would like to see a senior footballing man on the board as a TD. Needs to be someone that isnt perceived to be a threat to whoever the manager is, but be able enough to step in if things were not right and Guus would fit the bill perfectly

thanks....actually I wasnt one of Mourinhos staunchest supporters...as I have stated before he isnt one of my favourite type of people.But what I am is a club supporter and you will never ever see me slating off Chelsea players or managers to the level of being damn right abusive, nasty and rude. I would first and foremost defend any Chelsea player/manager by giving them the benifit of the doubt and be quite forgiving...after all...they are One of us. I like Fabregas, but his performances have been hard to defend but I like him as a person as well...the way he comes across in interviews etc. I hope he can turn it around and get people onside....and believe me when I say the online slating of him is far worse than jeers at one match. Posters may go on about match support giving Ivanovic, Costa and Fabregas grief....but then after a match some of them are using pretty vile language about the same players on here or might even be ones that go onto the said players twitter and instagram accounts and personally abuse them there. Whats worse? Anyway...i feel a big performance coming from Fabregas soon

time for Fabregas to put on the magic hat and quieten the boo boys. The jeers for him were not just about what that woman had scrawled on a tatty sheet. Think a lot of his were about performance as well ( like Ivanovic jeers ). I like the fact that him and Ivanovic are ballsy enough to say something......now then...Costa, where are you hiding?

As they play like Leicester with a fast breaking variation of 442, I hope Guus goes for players with pace and either matches their formation (doubtful) or deploys a 433. I would also give Costa a chance to prove us wrong and show us he is up for it and ready to rock.

Nevin has cleared up the situation CFC page.

Ok...so we are too believe you and one spanish book writer instead?Plus wasnt Moyes the only one available at the time. What I dont get is that certain posters are continuing to use every little snippet of info they can muster up to beat Mourinho down with.....they wanted him gone from the club. But now he has gone and is free to do what the hell he wants. If he goes to Man Utd, the same posters will be having hissy fits, throwing their dummies out of the pram saying he cant go there. Why cant they just leave him be now.....after all he is a crap manager who cannot improve any team allegedly, so whats to worry about?

well from the moment an interim manager was placed in October 2013...some itk reckoned Mourinho was contacted then.Mourinho then reckons that he told Ferguson he was only coming back to England for 1 job....... a point backed up by Ferguson in his book. Mourinho was never asked, had applied or was rejected from that job. As far as interest goes.....just about every top manager in world football today would have an interest if there was a chance

even Benitez hinted that Mourinho was coming here in the February March time

well you have got that one wrong according to the Alex Ferguson book.Perhaps SAF was just protecting his little sardine munching buddy eh

think Nevins answer was taken out of context as he was answering a question about a media report allegedly. No doubt Nevin will issue some sort of apology for the misunderstanding

oi...we are talking about you on another thread. You got tongues wagging

change of words: Song for Papy. Tune Rod Stewart ...do ya think I'm sexy. If your Djilobodji, want to play for Chelsea, Papy loves Emen-alo

well not quite...parts are factually incorrect but it is well written so can be forgiven and granted a poetics license

I doubt it...knows too much about the area and pubs around West Brompton. Good poster that Ossie lad

I am not sure...the he/she thingy threw me.?Ossie...please tell me you are not a ladyboy partying the streets of Pattaya?

yup....agreed.And if she comes back it does not automatically mean she appears on the bench. The pre requisite for the bench is the medical staff to provide a medic and a physio. Unless she can prove that her contract with the club had bench duties included then I see no reason why she cant just go back to being a medical director. Imagine the unwanted media hoo hah if she reappeared on the bench

She hasnt been replaced in the medical centre.Her job title of Asst Medical Director ( or something similar ) was not taken by another

No superiority...My memory is normally not that great remembering players but for some reason he stood out for scoring 7 on the trot when we were in relegation battle. However, nothing wrong with googling players or records if you are not sure....everybody does it hence the comment

if he goes to Utd, I hope it happens before we go there next week. Their support wouldnt know what to do if we taunt them with "stand up for the special one"

yup agreed.It was classic Alex Ferguson style of moving a couple or so each season and replacing them with HIS targets that kept Utd at the top of game

i reckon his name will be sung in jest at the Man Utd support.Normally they would come back at us with some witty repetoire about him........but, with him plastered all over the media being touted as their next manager...could be interesting. So let the taunting begin

Is she the only doctor taking Chelsea FC to court and/or wanting a job back?

But you see my point.. .posters want to talk about ex chelsea as well.Nothing wrong with that and it doesnt matter whether its the tea lady or manager from the Chelsea that have left the family....posters have a right to discuss. The fact that the doctor is still very current news tells me there still is debating to be had
