Rhino's Skin

And as I said...with certain supporters having close links.....how do you know its speculation.But at the end of the day....lets hope that the message got across to ALL the players. ....that they are also playing for us and we have been there for them.....now its their turn to earn that respect back

I have to ask this...but were you at the match, or better still at pre match rituals with large groups of regular supporters talking about the situation, speaking to other well known supporters who have very close links to the club and some staff within the club. You hear things, we occassionally react to things and it is organised. If you do go to matches but don't see or hear any of the above then I suggest that you do.....it can be quite eye opening. Chelsea match going support are one the most forgiving there is. Our song "CAREFREE" is exactly that and what we are about. We hardly ever show our discontent but yesterday was also about the fans....not just Mourinho or individuals. Certain supporters that follow the club are in a very unique situation amongst the top flight of clubs due to the fact that they have a say on Stamford Bridge that even Abramovich has to respect and have them onboard. Now I don't want to hear about there is no difference between match going support and those who support the club in other ways.....because there is whether you like it or not. Of course the end product of supporting Chelsea and wanting the team to do well is the same but the devotion, emotion, the time spent, etc etc are miles apart...not to say one is better than the other though but there is a difference. For non match going support to preach on here how match going support should behave at Chelsea is bordering on ridiculous. But saying all of that, the support will come back for certain individuals......and the best way they can do it is start by banging in a few goals, dominate matches, and most of all.....show us fans that they care about putting in the effort for us as we have done for them countless times when things havent been going well

But we could see on the pitch who gives 100% and who sometimes is not quite giving that....something not so evident on TV.What you and a few others are failing to appreciate that this was also about the fans and how we also feel cheated which is why the 'where were you when we were shit' song came out a couple of times....and that song didnt single anyone out...it was aimed at the collective group.

We will never know the full truth but match going support that follow Chelsea are very forgiving.They support their own through thick and thin....Torres being a prime example when it would have been easy to turn on him. Today was a rare occassion....just to let them know that the club is also about the fans and they had better not forget that. They will all be cheered again soon...dont worry about that. Lets hope this wakes a couple of them up and they put in decent shifts

Whats he actually got from fans?

Urm...didnt both have time on the bench recently?

Just easier to pick out on tv with that chant..and easier for JCL's to join in with.i.e. Chelsea chelsea chant also easier but Carefree is sung with more gusto but doesnt come over as loud on tvStrong rumours of palpable discord ;-)

All the players who have songs have had them sung.....especially away gamesBut I will throw this back at you as you reckon only Costa gets a chant....how do you know? Guus got fantastic support last time he was here

I think they will lessen for the individuals concerned.They have been supported through thick and thin when they were playing bad on top of this. A few good performances and everything will be ok. But most of all. they have to earn respect again

From the groups of supporters before and during the match.We dont just turn up at the ground you know. We meet in certain areas in large groups and some individuals have very close links with the club

the boos were for players allegedly being involved in the departure of Mourinho.Thats why the Jose Mourinho song was sung at Costa as he went off

So now its lucky to score early...great

The booing was not to do with performances.....the song "where were you when we were shit"was and aimed at the whole team.Please separate the 2 issues

Its was on the radio in the pub...think it was 5 live

All you slating the match going support havent got a scooby. All season we have backed those players during tough times....sang their songs trying to get a prrformance out of them. Some of them mugged us off. Dont worry....the songs will come back for them but you have absolutly no right to tell me or other match going support how to support the team

Farking Costa left the ground at 1700

Best chant of the day...."where were you when we were shit" directed at all of them. Good to see a strong performance ....almost character building stuff for them.

Thats what I am asking...I couldnt see properly from where I was standing

Give him a break....he just wants to be loved ;-)

Because the stories going round West Brompton before the match were that those 2 and not Oscar were the main ones wanting Mourinho out

Coming out of ground....decent support all round today.......and a good laugh. Certainly not toxic. Ok...boos for Costa and Fabregas but that was just to let them know we are on their case but again not toxic ( hateful) Did Costa do something to MH stand when he was subbed...know were sing Jose song at the time

In terms of income, success. moving forward, infrastructure, player/manager turnover etc etc Man City are at the moment the best run club in the league

Well. as she is allegedly taking Mourinho to court for sexual discrimination, I have yet to see any evidence that has been in the public domain to support this.The other issue of constructive dismissal is with Chelsea FC...not Mourinho.

It was common knowledge at the time

Lol...threat...I just asked you to count them.Urm...who started the name calling? Now run away . I am off...just to save you getting a ban. You may thank me later
