Fuck off and go and revel in some other team's shitness.

My greatest fear is that Mata leaves in the summer.

Yes. As I have been saying, they are an average side, but for a talented front three. Tonight proved that, and I was also confident because of the loss of their manager. Oh well, going to go and rape the shit out of some people on COD.

Petr Cech "It will be tough but we will fight till we die." - believe me, I'd like to see that happen to certain players.

I'll have sobered up and will be in the same line of thought tomorrow, hopefully. Glad to see some optimism. Just feel sad that, on a game where I felt confident, defensive lethargy and a lack of application has left us with egg on our faces, ONCE AGAIN.

It comes to something when your team is so bad you don't want to go and see them play. It isn't the results that concern me, its the performances. Someone wake me up when this nightmare season is over.

Anyone who said Ivanovic had a good game needs their head examining and an eye test.

Tell me about it mate. I remember making a post last season on wishing we were the Chelsea team of old... the inconsistent one that had some fabulous players and played magnificent football, full of effort and endeavour. The fans are the club, and the players are letting us down. Tonight was not so bad, but the lack of effort or even concern about the game makes me so fucking angry.

I feel so, so sad. I have tickets for two of our next three matches, but I'm not going to them. I'm so angry, disappointed and disillusioned by this fucking woeful excuse of a 'team'. I feel like not bothering for the rest of the season, I really do. Can't be fucked with this any more. It comes to something when I am getting so wound up over a game. But it isn't one game, it's the whole fucking season. Fuck it!

This is a battle between two shocking defences. May the worst one win.

Can't believe AVB is getting the slack for school-boy defending...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17115819 West Ham wanted him on loan and we said no.

Whole team has been sub-par, a lucky goal and thankful to Cech for keeping us in this. Should be 3- or 4-1. Not happy at all. I had great faith we'd win, but not with this team selection or performance. Shocking. Two basic errors and two goals conceded. WHY THE FUCK did Meiruseless not close down Lavezzi? And what was Ivanovic playing at? Cack. Thankfully they're shit at the back and Hairnet looks about as good as Bosingwa. Can still get a draw out of this.

I know he likes three defenders, I just thought he would have gone for a 4-3-2-1 against Chelsea as away goals will prove critical to both sides...

I thought Napoli would go for 4 at the back to be honest, I'll be surprised if they use the 3-4-3.

We can do this. Napoli rely entirely on the counter-attack so this is going be a game of cat and mouse. I think they will be desperate to win tonight because we will certainly go all-out in the return leg at the Bridge, and we're formidable at home in the Champions League. Plus, this is the sort of night where Drogba always stands up to the challenge. Got a really good feeling, it just depends entirely on AVB's team selection (Ivanovic and RB, Essien and Ramires are essential in the midfield also for breaking up attacks, plus I wouldn't be against having Oriol or Mikel start).

So we'll get confirmation of this on the website in April 2015 then.

Well we could actually have even more people sign up.... no need to limit it. We can keep it at three leagues (otherwise promotion places will get muddled up again) and then we can introduce additional teams into each league, beginning with extra berths in the Championship and League One.

Haha I love spaghetti It was a word-play.... "stuff the spaghetti-eaters" - ie. stuff as in make them full, and stuff as in stuffed spaghetti, such as ravioli

Bring it on baby! Got a good feeling about this! We're shit and we know we are but I've just got a funny inkling we may well stuff the spaghetti-eaters

No team swapping!

That's more like it. Show some faith and some backbone. CAREFREE.

Again, that is down to interpretation. All he said is this: "No, I don't agree with that. I solve them [problems] with my group of people and players and it's been like that throughout. I have nobody I turn to. Not a religious person so just hold on to self-belief." That doesn't sound arrogant at all to me. It sounds confident, self-believing and determined, and I like that about AVB. Come hell or high water, it's the AVB way or the highway. And that is exactly how it should be. Fuck the players and the dressing room politics. AVB is the manager, therefore in authority. I quite like to see him flex his muscles and pull no punches. He's the boss, and they're just players. The sooner he realises he isn't there to be a friend like Mourinho, but to be a strong leader like Ferguson or van Gaal, the sooner he will turn from a potentially-great manager into the next big thing managerially.

So glad you're back mate. Brilliant post.

Absolutely. Welcome back, btw, mate. Wow. Just wow. Absolutely agreed. Same. I don't give a shit that we won't win anything this season. I've been pining for something different and we've had that with the current home kit, and this would be a step in an even better direction. Fuck me I'm excited now.
