Rhino's Skin

Perhaps a nod to Roman like we occasionally do....oh yeah........and the manager ;=)

Let's hope he can find a performance v Porto if he plays. Get the crowd on his side and show us what he had in first few months which was top notch

Paul Clement anyone?

For those that are going.......we are going to party in West Brompton beforehand. Get your best voices on, support the players and manager and let's have the Bridge rocking.

Thats the spirit !!!

If a high profile manager such as Ancellotti comes in and the remit is to win trophies and be in CL at earliest possibility, then we will be worse off with regards to fringe players and youth coming through. A new manager with that remit will just want to buy instant successs and although Mourinho doesnt promote many players through the ranks, it could be worse

we are already guaranteed football in Europe come February

football coaching......I doubt it. Fifa 16 etc...you might stand a good chance

Hope we get an away game...dont care who against but would prefer a ground we havent been too before. Increased allocation, always a good day out

Lol.. Right ho

And it would be deserved

So why wasnt the response in relation to my post ( my experience from todays game) about that.The guy ( apologies if its a doris) always derails threads with out of context comments when a poster tries to be positive

That would be strange...having an ST, go to the odd away and Euro trip.Spending a fortune following Chelsea each season just so I can be a clever gooner troll

No..you acted like a big baby

Not really...if the poster wants to talk about Jose...there is a thread for it. I was talking about my experience from the match and looking forward to next match on Wednesday

As usual...wrong hole you ignorant buffoon.

Just back from the match. Thought we actually played ok and deserved a win. Should have had a pen...so clear cut. Team selection in both halves gave us chances but fair play to Bournemourh for hanging on and taking their chance late on. Couldnt see as properly as I was in MH but did Courtois fumble or flap at the ball leading to their goal? Oh well.....just have to keep supporting. Hope for better luck v Porto on Wednesday. Big party in West Brompton before the match...we gonna rock SB and blow Porto away

was never going to Man City then unless Chelsea wanted him to leave....no head turning

Roman should sell a 10% share to Arkadiy for 200m and then we are worth 2bn as well ;-)

Bournemouth have 10 or 11 current injury worries and might have to give 3rd choice keeper a debut. Hmmmmm...remember Newcastle when similar scenario happened and keeper had a 'worldie' that day

Sounded good until I read 'football expert' under his name. Trading standards should be informed ;-)

Mourinho confirms Matic playing with a mask tomorrow after getting a double fracture on nose and cheek. JT, Ramirez and Falcao still injured. Courtois in squad and will play if ok....if not tomorrow then against Porto. Jose seems relaxed and happy enough with recent progress

Thought he had a contract until 2019. We are allowed to say 'NO' to these clubs you know ;-)

so bombing it is then

no it doesnt...but if we end up at Wembley, I hope the club let season ticket holders 'freeze' their ticket until new stadium built. Can't stand that grotesque concrete jungle of a ground and thankful we only go there every now and then. Would rather we pay Fulham to build a new stands to bring their capacity to around 32-34k and groundshare there
