Awful apart from his assist which was simple pass to ramires. He seems to be trying to hard holding onto ball too long Very poor passing from him

Mikel and ramires doing a solid job in midfield a lot of game has been played in middle of pitch we started quite slow but grew into it Zouma has won every header getting so high to things he had no right to get to Christensen got forward but was blocked off has looked solid when defending and played it safe with passes

IIRC it came in from a free kick which we cleared to smith on the edge of box who hit it just inside the left post. Think that is correct have not seen replay

Oh yeah forgot that. Brilliant reaction save from 7 yard out header diving to his left Remy and Ramires I think it was have had tame efforts saved

At the game We've been quite good. I know I'm a salah hater but he has been awful apart from his assist. Christensen has looked good when he's had the ball but that has not been that often. Zouma has been absolutely outstanding and remy has looked good cutting inside. Cech perhaps should have saved their goal he got a strong hand to it I think Cahills flick with the outside of his boot was brilliant touch of zola v Norwich

I'm going to go to bed and cry myself to sleep

And then he went home to beat his wife. And then presumably went dogging.

Do you support Chelsea or Jose Mourinho?

Perhaps you should look at the diagram a few posts up that shows the vast majority of the goals we concede come from Ivanovic's side. Also could you explain to me why John Terry should not first choice?

He'll go to Real Madrid not Bayern. He still has wet dreams about playing for them under Zidane

Wouldn't say a second team but I like to see Southampton do well given the football they play and the way they bring through so many youngsters

I've never had any complaints about size before Choo Choo; )

The last bit annoyed me too. Why did he say we had 1000? Is he arithmetically challenged? There were 4,500 Chelsea fans. Next week Liverpool have an allocation of 4,500 which is not between 5000 and 10,000 like he said. He's massively underestimated the size of our support and overexaggerated the size of Liverpool's.

If you were sitting in the East, West or Matthew Harding Upper I'd believe you. If you were in the Shed or Matthew Harding Lower then I'm calling bollocks on this.

ok that's one. What about the other 15 or so that you claim are better than ours? Anyway, here's a few reasons Selhurst Park is perhaps louder than Stamford Bridge: 1. They are not a 'glamorous' club that tourists will go to in order to see a football match. I think if you'd come from Asia, America etc. to visit London you'd perhaps be more interested in going to watch some of the best players in a world in the most central football ground in London than head down through the slums of South London to a ground built around terraced houses and a Sainsburys. Nothing wrong with that, it is a proper football ground but is it what a tourist would want. 2. Ticket prices. The most expensive ticket price at Selhurst Park for a Category A game is £45. The cheapest for us for a Category A game is £55 unless you are in the family section. For grade B their most expensive ticket is £35 while our cheapest for Category B is £47. Add £5 to both our prices if you don't have a membership. FA Cup their tickets are £12. That is cheaper than what we charge for a child (£15). For the record it costs £30 to see us play the mighty Bradford. In addition, it is worth mentioning that our away tickets are more expensive as for every team we are a Category A game. We also usually reach the later rounds of the cups unlike them and follow our team across Europe every year at considerable cost. Therefore for many people it isn't financially viable to go regularly. Crystal Palace's away support for games outside London is very average/poor. 3. Chelsea are reducing the number of Season Ticket holders every year by putting fewer back on sale. If 1,000 people don't renew maybe 600 are made available for members to buy. I'm unsure how much they are decreasing but it gets smaller every year. The reason for this is that the club can make more money from people paying £55 x 19 than a single fee of £880. This means more seats are available to tourists, touts etc or people who don't care. Far more people go to games who don't care than who are vocal and this means that they have more demand and so are more likely to get a ticket. 4. Crystal Palace actively encourage their fans to be vocal and help by allowing them to stand up during games. If you stand at Chelsea you get told to leave by a steward. Meanwhile down at Crystal Palace they are allowed to jump around, make large displays in the Holmesdale end and have their cringey but effective 'ultras'. The club enguages with the fans on this. Our club don't really give a shit as long as they get their money and even when we do try something they try and shoot it down claiming it is unsafe or against the law. In fact, CPFC are looking into whether they actually have to by law tell people to sit down at games. Our club wouldn't even consider looking into that. 5. Why does it matter if our home support is crap if our away support is so good? Why don't you praise that? Nearly every away team outsings home fans so it is just the norm anyway at every club.

Members of the club meet regularly with senior members of the Shed Atmosphere group (a group designed to improve atmosphere in the Shed end) and discuss how they can make the ground louder and how is best to communicate with players/ Mourinho etc. Following his empty stadium comments after the QPR game a suggestion was made to write an open letter telling him that some fans are taking action to improve atmosphere but do not agree with the way he commented on the issue. The club discouraged it because they did not feel it would go down with Mourinho if I remember correctly. The reason the club have a say in this is because they have been very open with the Shed Atmosphere Group and thus would actually ensure the letter gets to Jose. If the open letter were written from an individual who was not a member of the Chelsea supporters trust, Atmosphere Group etc. then it is very unlikely it would actually get to Jose and most likely end up in a rubbish bin unopened somewhere in Cobham.

sorry. We can't actually sack fans. You see those sleeping pills are by and large people who contributed to campaigns such as Save the Bridge in the 1980s to ensure that we still had a ground to play in and a club to support. Before all the TV money came in these were the people who kept the club in survival. They were what players played for rather than just money. These days they play a lesser role thanks to our global fanbase. However, they were here before Jose Mourinho and they will be here long after him. They are the heart of the club. You mentioned tourists and yes you are correct that there are a lot of tourists and people who don't give a shit. However, what you got wrong is that you generalised that Chelsea home fans are pure shit. Perhaps you should look at the time and effort some of these home supporters (many of which travel up and down the country and across the continent at huge expense as well) are doing to try and get an atmosphere going. It is harder than you may think to get an atmosphere going when you are surrounded by people who don't care. There are about 4,000 of us who consistently sing and 32,000 who are there just to watch football. Anyway, next time you are at the Bridge perhaps you will want to visit Brompton Cemetery located behind the East stand. If you do honestly prefer cemeteries you will find that it is one of the finest Victorian cemeteries in London. It is also quieter than Stamford Bridge. Here is this amazing Inter Milan support you speak of by the way

Is it a fact though? Is it really? Please tell me which teams are louder than away fans at home games with the exception of Crystal Palace and maybe Stoke. I bet you've never been to half the grounds in the league so you probably wouldn't be able to give an accurate judgement.

We do but every club does. Basically there are very few grounds where home fans are louder than away fans. Almost every game the away team will come to Stamford Bridge and be louder than us and sing stuff like 'is this a library?' , 'your support is f'ing shit' and more recently 'Jose's right your fans are shite' but then we will go the their ground and as away fans sing exactly the same stuff because we will be the louder ones. Every team taunts each other about having shit support when you are at an away game and then it switches when you are at home. This is consistent throughout the league. Liverpool however take more pride in taunting than other fans because they claim to have an amazing atmosphere at anfield. This isn't actually true and is vastly exaggerated by the media. Liverpool actually having the best fans in the world is up there with Big foot in a list of the world's biggest myths.

We know. You moan about it in every live thread when we're playing at home.

It was discussed with the club but they discouraged it

José has no right to tell us what we can and can't sing. He isn't Chelsea. We were here long before him and we will be here long after he's gone. He shouldn't even think about telling us what we can and cannot sing. He's the manager of the team we support, not our boss at work. If anything he is employed by us because without supporters there would be no money in football

you telling me you wouldn't feel like that when you'd stood in the freezing cold for 90 minutes at the other end of the country on a weeknight, get home at 4, sleep for 90 minutes then get up and go to work for 9 hours to see Jose not moaning about Willian having a 6% pass completion but his fans not being as good as those at one of our arch rivals? Oh bully for you, you've been to a few home games and your post is based on slagging off our home support. How about instead of moaning about how pathetic it is you get your arse down to Fulham Road at 3PM this Saturday and join the few thousand like-minded fans and actually encourage the team rather than just moan about how shit our support is?

I guess Michael Buble wad right. Hollywood is dead
