Absolutely. Unfortunately, materialist gain is more important than a fanbase nowadays, because there are always plastics who will happily and blindly pump hundreds of pounds in tickets and merchandise into the club at every available opportunity. We are a brand now, and like all brands, caring about those already acquired in terms of support matters very little. Now all that the corporate megalomaniacs in charge of this club care about is getting more fans in Asia and America, as opposed to our British/European core of fans that have been largely loyal through thick and thin. Although at this minute, if I was a Chinese football fan, Chelsea would be the last time I'd want to follow.

Break the bank for Mario Gomez and I'll be happy.

It's a football forum to discuss Chelsea FC. We've had Arsenal, Marseille, and Sunderland fans amongst others on here in the past.

It is fantastic to see so many (English-speaking) Napoli fans on here. You really are welcome to stay as long as you like.

It seems to simple, doesn't it? Totally agree with you mate, 4-3-3 OBVIOUSLY doesn't work. If we go 4-4-2 we can have orthodox wingers or we change it into the Diamond with Mata in the hole.

When this said "funny video" I was expecting highlights of our season so far.

I am an Admin here, you are welcome to post a link to your board on the forum!

I'm just wondering why they need to be password protected... do you have something to hide?

I think the players should have their wages docked for these performances. If I would perform like they do, and just put in a half-hearted effort every shift, I would get the sack. Because that would constitute me throwing plates at people, not washing cutlery and pouring half-empty glasses.

He had a poor game last night - BUT he can be forgiven because of his effort and endeavour throughout the season. Unfortunately no other player has such a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Would still like to see a change in formation to get the best out of the team. Reckon if we had Torres and Sturridge up front as a two and Mata in the hole, we'd do alright.

I know... he can be considered one of the OAPs now.

Now you put it like that... we should be giving Meireles a 9/10 for getting himself suspended.

I hope Gourlay goes, in comparison to Kenyon he is just a . His negotiation skills are cack, and despite EA supposedly being our platinum partner we're no longer a demo team for the FIFA or FIFA Street series.

Why have you password protected it? Don't make me start a British Supporters Group because we'll just kick your asses

Agreed. Do people still want us to trial the three-game version? The fact we have a 20:17 vote suggests to me we should at least give it a go.

Four votes for Bosingwa, fucking lol.

^ agreed. Can't believe Ivan is 28 as well... even our 'next generation' is near retirement!

I think Gourlay and co's patience is wearing thin. Seeing him and Buck shaking their heads in disappointment bodes poorly for Villas-Boas. Unfortunately it is the players, who AGAIN are costing the manager his job. I honestly think if we don't win our next three games (Bolton, Birmingham, West Brom - all of which are winnable fixtures) he will be gone.

Should be nothing happy about it after his performance yesterday....

That Napoli fan was just with you all.

We wouldn't be in the tie still if it wasn't for that brilliant save from Cavani by Cech.

Hmmm, maybe Zigic, he's fucking maaassssive.

Only all three could save us right now... Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Cahill - Bertrand Ramires - Gotze Hazard - Mata © - Neymar Sturridge

I came up with a new name for him. Raul Meiruseless. Henrique liked it.
