the Lillee.....thats where you have gone wrong ..sticking to that manky carpet. Anyway, its getting turned into a gastro pub soonBetter in the PoW opposite....shame its closing down
Bet Roman or members of the board have never ventured up there pre match or wandered down to the Goose to see how the hardcore take in their pre match rituals.
Infact, I bet they are seething that we are spending our dosh there and not at theground

Just as I say you've been spot on in another thread, you go and be spot on in this one.
We can as a support be quiet, and I had to explain to a West Ham supporting mate that it's not just because a lot of the more vocal fans have been priced out of attending but because there's a weight of expectation and tension during matches. We almost expect a goal and when it doesn't come we get nervous.
What's been brilliant is that the adversity we've faced has made us a lot more vocal (not always positive mind) and brought back a bit of that old-school spirit. Jose became the focal point for the support, and a lot of the players received the frustration because they've failed to do the basics right. Costa in particular has been atrocious and his shit movement has been a huge factor in us not scoring more goals.
But the club can't replace the players like they need to now so it's just easier to replace the coach. That's what people mean when they talk about player power. It's not a conspiracy to get Jose sacked, but their sheer weight of numbers mean it's easier to change the coach and hope things improve rather than do what they should've done in the summer and improve the squad.
Roman and the board's inept actions then have led to us having to sack a world class coach now.

The match going support could see things on the pitch which are not so evident with watching on the screen. Showing a lack of effort, not trying their best etc is one of them.
Ok...so what if a player didnt like Mourinho or his tactics.....their lack of effort was in effect mugging us as paying supporters off.
We tried our best by singing songs about virtually every player past and present, being loud on away games when oppo fans were taking the piss etc etc and yet these prima donnas were throwing it back in our faces just because their head coach was questioning them.
Forget about tactics, formations and all that bollix that the fifa 16 coaches on here run their gobs off about....this is down to pure effort and the basics need to be sorted before anything else

because "he scores when he wants, he scores when he wants, Jon obi mikel, he scores when he wants" ;-)

Falling on the hip and upper thigh bone/ball joint is no laughing matter. They are susceptible to jarring, dislocation and breaking.
Suffered a break and dislocation myself when falling the same way but on ice.
The doctors told me that even if I hadn't had the injuries, I would have been in serious discomfort for a few hours minimum with the jarring.
Now obviously Hazard only fell on a well manicured piece of grass which softened the impact but it is obvious he suffered a shock to that area.
Was noticible that when he tried to exert serious pressure on his foot after wanting to come back on, it wasn't happening.
Either that or he is a good actor when it comes to symptoms of pain. ;-) in which case he needs to hung, drawn and quartered at the Tower of London

Just watched the Porto match again on Chelsea TV.
Thought Branna played decent with hardly any errors.
Some great pressing and interceptions. Kept his position in relation to rest of back 4 well.
A couple of great crosses that deserved better.
Starting to look like his old self and let's hope this kick starts his form for the remainder of the season

london prices.....you must be loaded

Perhaps if the club hadn't resorted to bringing in "has beens" such as Eto'o and DD over the seasons, he might have stayed and try to become number 1 rather than being pushed down the pecking order.
The irony being is that with injury and suspension problems upfront, he would have got plenty of game time.
Not his fault, as he or the club wouldn't have known that....but at the end of the day Lukaku did what was best for Lukaku and chose to leave

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

Increased allocation, always a good day out
