...what? Signing Oscar has shown that we're improving? How, may I ask? Ah I see. And what position did Moses play last season? When we got rid of Ferreira? What? Since when is Essien a defensive midfielder? Did I miss something? At least makes your points correct, man! Never once did I imply I was better than you. You've simply chosen to interpret what I've said that way, without asking in which tone I was speaking, or, in a more literal matter, typing. So you're now saying that my OPINION is WRONG? In none of my posts to you did I state a single fact - Everything I've said to, up until this post anyway, was opinion. Who are you to judge whether someone's opinion is correct or not? Now you're even telling me what I'm judging my opinions on! :') Brilliant. Again, I clearly said READ MY EARLIER POSTS. You clearly haven't, otherwise you would know by now why I stopped watching. Incredible.

Go and get a job if you don't have one. Get a second job. Get a third job. There is money all over the world. There is no excuse to not see Chelsea playing live. Go outside right now, and find people who need help. Help them out, and then claim your reward - money. See? Yet another accusation based off of nothing. I don't even live in Scotland, nor have I ever supported a Scottish team. So TIME and QUALITY are 2 factors somehow combined into what makes an acceptable accusation? Your original accusation was that was a suggestion that I wasn't a 'real Chelsea supporter' because I joined rather recently. Never did you mention anything regarding the quality of my posts.

Here I am. I take it back.

Well you've got enough for clothes, food and internet don't you? Cutting back a bit and you'd have more than enough to go to Stamford Bridge. So don't you fucking dare question ANYONE on this forum whether they're a 'true Chelsea fan' or not. I'm not going to pull out the easy card which is - You're a glory hunter. You're Polish yet supporting an English team etc, because I don't need to. I was going to say that me pulling out that card has zero substance, just like your accusation, but actually, mine has MORE substance as you've already admitted to never being to a game. You're basing your accusations off of a joining date, and therefore, there is very little to discuss; especially considering it seems you've never been to a Chelsea game.

C'mon now. At least get your spelling etc. correct when entering a debate. What more could he have done? Bought a right winger. Bought a defensive midfielder. Showed that we were ACTUALLY improving. As I also anticipated, you're looking at everything in a black & white way, and dismissing the actual points of my posts which explain why I'm saying what I'm saying. It's as if you just pick which bits you want to read and then twist words to try and make others just 'give up' and concede to you. Read my post over, and over, and over again. At no point did I say I won't be watching next season. At no point did I say "I don't want to watch Chelsea." You also have nothing to base " typical spoilt fan" on. You do not know me, how long or why I support Chelsea etc. You're now simply trying to come up with insults as you clearly can't have an intelligent debate or conversation over such a simple topic.

How many times you been to Stamford Bridge m8?

So people dismiss the repeated "THIS IS NOT BASED JUST ON PRE-SEASON" comments over and over again? Some people

Lucien Favre would have been perfect. To be honest, just getting in any manager with a decent pedigree who's used to using a 4-2-3-1 would have been nice. Also, if you checked my earlier posts, you'd see the primary reason for no longer watching the game.

This will get slated, I know for fact - but I always said that while RDM deserved the job, he isn't the correct man for it. Managing West Brom & MK Dons is a little different from this. No, our CL + FA Cup wins were not luck, but he didn't do anything special. He just let Drogba and Terry take control pretty much and we reverted to our tactics from a few seasons ago. I love RDM as a player and sports personality, and in reply to this, I'm expecting face-palm pictures, gifs so that you guys can get your rep up etc. but he honestly hasn't shown anything to make me want to watch us next season. This isn't just from watching this game. I've had these thoughts from way before our CL win. I'm not a "RDM OUT!!!!!!!!" guy, but I'm sure he'll be gone by January. The small minded people (if you get upset by this comment, you're simply wearing the shoe that fits) will just see it as "He won us the Champions League and now has better players. That means we will win the league", but there is SO much more to that to take into consideration. I'm not looking forward to this game vs. Manchester City at all. Hopefully Mata + Oscar will change things. Cba watching the rest of the game. KTBFFH. (Now is the point where you call me a fake fan, tell me to go support Manchester City, insert your pictures, memes and gifs etc.)

Fuck it. I'm off to support Brighton. COME ON YOU SEAGULLS! LET'S GET PROMOTION THIS SEASON!!!!

Quote one single thing in this entire thread which suggests anyone wants us to lose.

I'll just cut to it - Essien + Meireles = not good enough for this team anymore. Ramires = should be a squad player. Lampard = should only be a rotation option. Torres = my thoughts about him have been made clear. Ivanovic = been embarrassing this pre-season IMO.

This game is giving me a headache. It physically hurts me watching us play this way. Every single team in the Premier League, no matter how shit their players are compared to us, seem to somehow pass better than us and create more chances.

...why is Hazard still not taking FK's?

It looks like the plan was to play Ramires in position in a 4-3-3, with Marin on the right/left perhaps with Hazard on the other side; but Marin's picked up a little knock so therefore things have changed slightly. I don't see why Ramires couldn't still play in the midfield 3 though, with Hazard on the right and perhaps Malouda(?) on the left.

I'd rather play Turnbull behind Torres instead of Meireles tbh.

Ah, yes - I forgot that we have Oscar coming in!!! OK, sorry about the "ffs" in my last post. I'm happy now.

Aw c'mon Di Matteo. So when are we going to properly try out Marin, Hazard + Torres together at the same time? This line-up is pretty much the same as what we saw a lot of last season only Hazard replaces Mata. ffs.

I guess it's Meireles behind Torres; Hazard out left, Ramires out right.

Brighton XI: Kuszczak; Bruno, Dunk, Greer, Calderon; Bridcutt, Crofts, Dicker, Buckley, Vicente; Barnes.

He's got a point there you know.

YESSS!!! FUCK YEAH!!! I FORGOT WE HAD FOOTBALL TODAY!!! YESSSSSS YOU FUCKERS!! YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES! @KonohasOrangeFlash, I too expect a disappointment.

I wish we'd sign Toulalan from Malaga. Won't cost any more than £10mil. He was, in my opinion, one of the best defensive midfielders last season. He has experience at the age of 28, but isn't 'past it'.

He was one of my favourite players in the world during the time he was at Dortmund. I got a boner whenever I saw him in the starting line-up. I will literally put a sock over my penis and jizz into that bad boy if we sign him at any point in the future!
