Will the walkout change anything? In all likelihood, no. Should we do it? Absolutely! If it accomplishes nothing other than turning the heads of the Chelsea board and reminding them that there are Chelsea fans who care more about this club than they ever will and whose views and opinions matter and make a difference. It's not about letting Terry go, it's about the cowardly and disrespectful manner in which it is being done. If the club wants to let a legend go, at the very least they should be announcing it a few months in advance and preparing a proper send off for him so the fans can say their goodbyes and so he can leave with dignity. This walkout will not change anything regarding the Terry contract situation but it will a step in the right direction of saying: "Hey! This club is not a Russian billionaire's plaything. This club stems from its fans that have been here long before and will be long after every single player, manager, board member and owner!"

Except him coming into the side was literally the turning point of our season with that unbeaten run that took us out of the relegation battle zone into top-half-mid-table positions. But he was poor yesterday, and as Lampard once said, for football fans, you're always as good as your last match.

Yeah, that glimmer of (probably) false hope is by far the worst part of it all. Just confirm it, give him a farewell match and let us give him the proper send off he deserves. Yeah, unfortunately. Second red card of the season, automatically means a 2-match ban

This is, for me, the biggest legend in the history of the club, Mr. Chelsea....I just can't come to terms with it. I'm afraid of what happens when I'm no longer in denial about this...

Am I the only one distraught that this was his last moments in a Chelsea shirt?!

Just realized that he had already been sent off this season which means he gets a 2-match ban which means this was probably the last time he's played in a Chelsea shirt.....my heart..can't handle.

Players just didn't care and you can't really blame them. Congrats to Sunderland on the massive three points. They clearly wanted it them a lot more than us.

John said a couple of years ago, and I think he really means it, that he feels like he owes Chelsea for what he has accomplished and hence won't leave until the club tells him that his services are no longer needed. As I've said before, I have no problem with him leaving, I'll thank him for all he's done for the club, and I have no problem with him staying as he's a pretty good squad player to have, imo.

Don't tell me you are going to send them emails not starting with 'Dear' nor ending with 'Regards'?! You cruel, cruel man!

If you wanted to do it, it was probably a bad idea to say on a public site that you are going to!

Never want the boys to not give their all in match, but that said, I wouldn't mind seeing Sunderland get a win here. I really like Sunderland and if we don't ever play Newcastle away again, it would be too soon! Also, it would be the funniest thing if the FSW went straight from managing Real Madrid to getting relegated with Newcastle!

Sorry but that's just not true. Most Chelsea fans wanted him gone (you can go back in this very thread and see) and even those who wanted him to stay had to agree that the fee we were getting for him was too good to turn down. I even remember a conspiracy theory from some opposition fans, particularly Arsenal, that Roman was bribing clubs like Wolfsburg and PSG under the table so they would pay over the odds for players like KDB and Luiz!

I'm not at all someone who is fussy about kits, but there is no way I'm actually paying for one of these. But seriously, who the f*ck approved these? Because you know that they must have gotten to some manager who looked at them and somehow said "Go ahead with those". That guy NEEDS a different job...

I know we've been shit this season but Adidas didn't even bother with any proper 'reveal' let alone some sort of ad campaign for the new kit. Instead it's just two players awkwardly taking off a jacket while Will Dalton makes small talk that Eden doesn't seem to understand and Ruben couldn't look less interested in if he wanted to! Pretty fitting though for those awful kits. The best way to describe them would probably be that the marker-pen yellow on is the good kit between the two!

The things you sometimes read on TC! Anyway, thought he needed to show a bit more concentration yesterday, but I really liked the fight he brought to our midfield especially in the first half when Tottenham were getting very physical and we really needed someone to get stuck in.

And Matic-Mikel....What did Einstein say about repeating an experiment and expecting different results?

Looks like we're parking the bus....and probably loosing. This should be fun..

Someone should really tell him to stick to the mask because that face will probably give me nightmares tonight...

This will probably make me feel incredibly old, but didn't Kane wear a black and red mask?

Mostly tried to do too much. He had one great run but he ended up giving the ball away cheaply. On defense should have tracked back better, especially that Betis was down to ten men. Not to be too harsh on the boy, but he clearly still has a long way to go from what I've seen of him at Betis, but the talent is very clearly there. Would love to see him for a second season at Betis or some other mid-table team in Spain.

Tbf, he did have his moments in his last season here where he did look like a decent striker. Then again, that was in mostly in comparison with grandpa Etoo and #DareToDemba...

But that's the difference, isn't it? Doing it consistently for six years is very different than one season. Also, during those seasons and the seasons after as well, Cech came up with some incredible performances like nothing we've seen from Thibaut so far. I don't think we should sell Thibaut. Ridiculous thing to do. I was just saying that we had overrated him quite a lot when our fans were claiming that he was the best in the world, as was the case with Matic last season as well.

This is a nice little video about AFC Wimbledon, John Green and the power of fans in football:

Yeah, I know he's entirely happy at Juve, but I don't think Chelsea is very high up his list of where he'd want to go if he is to move. I'd love to be wrong about that, though.

I don't follow transfer rumors, but are we linked with Bonucci? Seems a rather random one.. Morata I'd absolutely love to see here but I think it's unlikely he'd want to come next season with no CL football, and it's not like he has a special relation with Conte to be swayed.
