Yeah I only asked cause someone in the pub said West Ham were outsinging chelsea even at 3-0. Could just be all talk who knows.

what was our away support like at the ground?

He had an average game, not his best. Good or bad game though is irrelevant though.. playing the full 90 helped with his fitness hopefully.

played the full 90 mins, good for us really.

You knew it would come back. The 300 page threads of doom always come back.

I still think he's class myself. He brings a lot of qualities to our team

I would go physical as well. Ivan, Luiz, Terry, Cole Ramires, Mikel Hazard, Schurrle, Ba Eto'o

The problem's simple. Ticket prices are so stupidly high for the avergae joe sometimes; it would be great if they could just make the tickets 20 quid a game. Add some standing areas and you get an atmosphere. However, it's all business and health and safety so it will never happen.

Something about reputation points, which you must care about which is a bit sad but who cares.

lol to your previous post before editing though.

Nah got it wrong it's actually 100,000 posts and a photo with Mourinho to qualify. Hell, keep posting shit, you might make it.

'Watch the games? You signedu p for this forum at the start of last season, it's obvious to me that you have only just started watching Chelsea recently, otherwise you would have knowledge of the past Chelsea.' Did you really just write that? Just lol. Oh and you need 10,000 posts to qualify for knowing about Chelsea's history, so you're a bit short of the mark mate

If you really think that the owner just told Mourinho: 'follow what AVB did please' then there really is no point posting. You can tell there is a new system in play as Hazard and Mata are more defensive. Maybe you should watch a couple games and look instead of just being the token forum 'bad ass MF' thing you got going.

It changed it's philosophy when FFP came in and signing a manager on a 4 year deal. And from the performances, you can tell there is change happening off field.

You define transition when a club buys a new set of players. It can also mean when a club changes it's philosophy, which is exactly what Chelsea is doing right now. And the thing is, we are still in the title race, despite what some people think.

You're right and perhaps I generalized too much. But it's just frustrating to see some so called 'Chelsea fans' slagging off every little thing, or trolling in every post they make.

It's all well and good calling it, in a constructive manner, but i've seen some posts saying Ivanovic the worst crosser of the ball, the worst fullback in the world, yet when he scores the winning header in the Europa final and he's the hero. Some people can't look past the last performance and all they can do is blame, when in fact, it was just a fair game of football with some odd ref decisions.

Thanks, for the record, I'm with you 100% on this. At least someone is out there who doesn't evaluate our team on a minute by minute basis and can actually look past the next game.

bushman, are you capable of reading? A draw against WBA and people are calling out the manager and team. Even though it was all songs and dances when we beat City a couple weeks ago. So stop trying to be a smartass

I digress. The amount of abuse on this forum, especially match days, to our team is pretty disgusting tbh. Any bad result and people are all over the shop, when they clearly can't see that we are a team in transition. Over reaction away at Everton, Newcastle and even WBA. Like I said, there's a difference between slagging our team off and constructive criticism. I'm not saying you did personally. But look at these posts, people calling out the end of the world when we are only 11 games into a season.

There's a difference between constructive criticism and knee jerk abuse to the team/manager.

Think a couple of you guys should apply to become a manager, seriously what the fuck do any of you guys know how to set up a team? None of us do, so stop bitching. It's clear we need 1 or 2 players more for Mourinho's system/philosophy so just deal with it until then. 11 games into a season.

The difference? Jose not being an interim for one. Yes but a title challenge would consist of beating WBA at home. Today was not challenging. I'll see where we are in terms of points when we face Arsenal in december.

We should be winning these matches but I think the title race is over if Arsenal beat Utd. Still, I would be happy with top 4 and maybe a domestic cup with a run in the Champions League. Jose is here for the long haul, and tbh, we have had good seasons even when they seem bleak.

Hope Steve Clarke gets a good reception
