it`s a shame that you guys weren`t as passionate about what goes on in Europe in 1939. just sayin`...

i too have been on many and this is the best..i was banned from the first site i went on about 9 years ago (it wasn`t run by chelsea fans even tho it was a chelsea forum) as after being called a Cockney Wanker by a Leeds fan i suggested that he was uneducated in thinking that all Londoners were Cockney and that maybe he should spend less time with his dick up his whippets arse and more time with his head in the history books. i`m more mild mannered now i hope.. TotalChelsea have some sound fans who you can have a good conversation with..but the site itself doesn`t have half the great look that this place does with all the nice features and doesn`t have the numbers we have here..with fans from all over the world..i know that if i have a night where i can`t sleep i can come on here at anytime and find somebody to chat with which i like.. there`s obviously gonna be some topics of discussion that not everyone is gonna like..but i love diversity..and as they say,it`s good to talk..at 35 i feel quite old on here sometimes but it`s good to hear that not every youngster is some Pikey C*nt and that there are infact some very decent young people about.

when folks talk about possible replacements for our managers i often wonder why we don`t seem to ever look at German managers. i know there`s been some great Italian managers over the years but they seem to be outdated in their tactics now.where as German managers seem to have evolved more and are more likely to come up with innovative tactics than Italians. speaking just in general..i`m sure that`s not the case with every single manager in each country. but also German football is played closer to the speed of play that is seen in the Prem than what you see in Italy,more attack minded etc..just like the Prem. this years German candidate would be Jurgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund. what do you guys think of him? i know he can be a bit of a hot head sometimes but i rate him highly as a coach..he has had Dortmund playing good winning football and leading the German League despite having rivals who have a lot more money to spend on players than him. at 43 he has years left in his career as a manager..i love Guus..think he`s one of the greatest tacticians of all time..but even if we could somehow prize him from Turkey and back into the dugout..he is 64! i`m not campaigning for Klopp as such..Dortmund has always been the German team i root for after i first heard what the Nazi`s done to them in the past but i`m in no way biased..am English Chelsea fan afterall. but i do think he should be one that if Carlo leaves be atleast considered as a candidate by the club. what do you guys think of him and/or do you have any suggestions for candidates outside of the popular names in the media?

i`m not sure but i do think that we have many players who will suck it up and play when not 100% healthy..and although as fans we naturally want to see our best players playing..it`s not only risky in that it can make the players health issue worse...it can lead to those players being unfairly judged on their performances.they are doing the club a favour so to speak,but not themselves. take Malouda for example..his first season here,i`ll admit i wasn`t very impressed with him. then the next season he played better and the one after that he became one of our best players and then it came out that he was carrying injuries whilst playing in his first season. Essien- the way he has recovered in the past so quickly after knee surgery has been superhuman...normally it takes about 18 months to 2 years before a player fully recovers back to full strength in the knee..but this season ,how many of us have taken that into account? there`s others but i think i`ve made my point. we don`t want to have players who go on the treatment table for a fractured eye lash..but we shouldn`t have the attitude if he can walk he can play either,if that`s the players or managers choice...i`m sure Carlo wouldn`t force a player to play if he feels he`s not healthy..he would look very bad if it came out that he did. but maybe he did say something like .."Didier we could really do with you out there today..are you healthy?" and Drogba played how weak he was feeling down.

it`s a tricky one..we do want to give our army of young keepers a chance..but what if Cech goes down for a few months. do you guys really think we could challenge for trophies with any of our other keepers as number 1 for a few months? i think in this situation the fact that the transfer window closes for months may force us to get an experienced back up as security for next year,when i would prefer us to have been able to use a youngster, then make an emergency signing if needed.

just for the record,anyone on here can shag my ex`s...no big deal, take your pick. if you meant to be with someone they don`t become your ex.

The Headhunters have gone up to Scotland for a ruck alongside Rangers against Aberdeen in the past especially in the 80`s..when the Aberdeen Casuals were top dogs in Scotland..around the time we signed Doug Rougvie from Aberdeen,who incidentally was a nutter himself...anyone remember him headbutting John Fashanu? can remember when he arrived he was billed by some as the best left back in Europe.. he was only probably the best at wreckless tackles,headbutting and giving away penalties. some Chelsea fans used to follow Rangers in Europe too when English clubs were banned for what 5 years? (not that the ban really effected us anyway,we`d never qualify under the rules of qualification at the time... i know it isn`t easy to admit it. but we have had some knobheads in our fan base over the years..though i guess it`s all part of growing up and us brits if we aint fighting our own wars we fighting someody elses.

i like the badge though the lion`s erm..stick?? should be red i think.. it`s the shoulders i really can`t get my head around...makes it look like a Peterborough or Gillingham shirt..but if we win our title back with it then i`m sure it will grow on me.. ..

i bet with those budgie smugglers for shorts you lot do wear over there it looked like a nightie on you..

the new Eddie Niedzwiecki... or steady eddie if you talking with a pie in your gob. hope he has better knees..but would certainly settle for the talent of the ol` Eddie. nice welsh name Niedzwiecki isn`t it.. p.s. never seen him play tho so don`t know if this guy is like Eddie where`s .Manuf gone anyway? we need some polish input..and i`m not talking Mr Sheen.. :eyebrows:

during a thrashing at the hands of Clough`s Forest (7-1 if i recall correctly) Chelsea started to sing the song "Always look on the bright side of life" from the Life of Brian movie by Monty Python. for a while the song became an anthem sung by supporters of teams all over the U.K after we introduced it to the Terraces first. a craze more tasteful than Man City and their inflatable bananas....an inflatable crocodile was my item of choice.tho it was short lived,.it got punctured on about it`s 2nd outing, up at Highfield Road (Coventry City`s old ground) the crocodile was bigger than me..haha...if only we used to take photos the way fans do today...though i guess we were too busy having fun!

If i had the Wings of a Sparrow and the dirty black arse of a Crow i`d fly over Leicester and shit on the bastards below Shit on,shit on Shit on the bastards below, below Shit on,shit on Shit on the bastards below

In the Liverpool Slums In the Liverpool Slums In the Liverpool Slums your Mam`s on the game and your dad`s in the nick you can`t get a job `cause your so fucking thick In the Liverpool Slums

If you go down to the shed tonight you better go in disguise If you go down to the shed tonight you`ll never believe your eyes `Cause Jeremy the Sugar Puffs bear has bought some boots and shaved his hair today`s the day that Jeremy joined the Skinheads

we have shown that to date for sure.. hopefully that will change from next year on..i fear though that with the way the top italian clubs have for many years loaned out their promising players a stupid amount of times with loads of clubs before getting a decent run with their parent club..maybe if we stay under Carlo that will be what he continues to do. i really hope not though..

i`ll compile my list at another time when i`m not so busy... but lets just say the episode of Room 101 when Alan Davies chose out of all the things in the world..the City of Liverpool to go into the dungeon..he got a standing ovation off me. i think i could write a 400 page book on why i hate Liverpool and that`s before i even start on the football club.

i`ve served in the British army and there were loads of Celtic fans serving alongside me,top boys the majority of them....which illustrates both how ignorant the fans who unfurled those banners are and that not all Roman Catholics and Celtic fans are the same..and that`s coming from a man raised in a Protestant Catholic household.

Liverpool have absolutely nothing to lose and not good players in the positions the youngsters have been played in. we have champions league to qualify for and very slim but still a chance of regaining our title. Billy Clifford is out injured anyway..

where`s your hometown?

Schalke 04. they are the only team i don`t hate out of the 4! will always be grateful for Jose`s contribution to our success from 04-07 but i don`t wish him any success with clubs i hate. fans who still cling to the hope that he will return to CFC shouldn`t be rooting for Madrid either...

just hit on this thread now and was gonna put that fact out to folks myself. plus theres the Chelsea Pitch Owners who own the pitch and turnstiles at the bridge, the CPO also owns the name Chelsea Football Club Ltd, which is licenced back to the club on the condition that the team play their home matches at Stamford Bridge. if Roman wanted to move Chelsea to another stadium in the future, the club would not be able to use the name Chelsea Football Club without permission from 75% of CPO shareholders .

the "Winterburn flinch" remains my all time favorite "laugh at arsenal" moment..but today was funny too.

yet another positive story regarding a Chelsea player that you won`t read about in the tabloids..like JT giving his boots away to kids in the crowd..Drogba`s great off-field work etc...

it would be the right thing to do..so it won`t happen.

i didn`t say it was the same. but "just like drink driving, it`s an arrogant ,selfish act.." that is what i said.
