Fulham Broadway

It’s sad that a competition that basically defined our club for over three decades, is now basically an after-thought.

Personal feelings and healthy competition don't necessarily need to be mutually exclusive. We will have to disagree on your ''hence I want United and every other team to do well''. For me there are enough hurdles when West Ham, Burnley, Palace, and every other bottom half table raise their game, and act as if it's a cup final when playing us. This is what Citeh are currently facing, (eg v Wigan, Bristol City, Liverpool) and one of the hardest things in football and life when you are top dog is maintaining that position. Unless you're really at the races you get complacent, arrogant, sloppy, and every man and his dog want to knock you off that perch Being realistic -we were brilliant in 2004-2010 partly because all the ducks were in a row in terms of on and off the pitch personnel, but primarily the same reason Citeh are riding high now -sheer unfettered spending.

Wash your mouth out with soap and water. Horrible cheating git, who beat up a defenceless bloke in a club amongst other things. Another vile specimen, fucking his brothers wife behind his back for 8 years. It's not a conscious thing, sorry always have and always will hate red teams. I see it as passion, and that we need more -especially at the new Stamford Bridge, and less half and half scarves with jester hats. Imo

Hi OFG - It's all a bit subjective this isn't it ? - my enemies enemy is my friend thing, and there is a hierarchy of rivals which can be a personal preference. For instance I know a few Chelsea fans that like Utd, (not because or in spite of Mourinho). I despise them, always have done (probably down to school fights) -but there is a common ground with some rivals Sp*rs, Arsenal, West Ham, and even I want a Utd victory when they're playing Liverpool.

Agree with that. They will always be rivals. Growing up in London half the school kids supported Chels and half Utd. Always hated their god given right that they feel they have to win everything, especially under Ferguson. I have really enjoyed their 'noisy neighbours' upsetting the apple cart in recent years, but at the same time had a definite sense of schadenfreude when they came back on Saturday to beat City.

As soon as he came on you knew the script -I was getting deja vu from 8 years ago when Dickacheato always scored against us

Ask him if it the 39 Juve fans committed suicide and was the bus last Wednesday attacking Liverpool fans ? because theyre never guilty of anything.

Joe Hart - he couldn’t even get a game for West Ham up until very recently, and he was so poor for Torino for most of last season to boot, and yet he goes and puts in a MotM performance against us.

Like the bloke, and he's won it all with Chelsea, but probably time to move on. The loss of JT will always be very, very difficult to replace

Came out like a bull in a china shop on steroids and crack. First three touches were as subtle as a flying mallet.

Several players playing very half heartedly, - obviously waiting for their agents show them offers. If Costa was a tom cat, Morata is the same cat , neutered.

Another high profile Chelsea fan dies at 60 -he was really gutted about his mate Wilkins a few hours before http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/darts/43663426

2019-20 media ''Enrique Frustrated at inability to sign the Players he wants''

Nigel.Quashie on Wilkins I will always be proud to say how lucky I am to have been coached, managed and even meet you. If it wasn’t for you I would never have started my career playing football and will never forget going to Manchester United as a YTS trainee to do all the kit and boots in the changing room for the first team squad. 1hr 30 mins before kick off you name the team and I was in it and that’s how my debut went, I didn’t even get to think about it because all you said was your number 18, here are your boots and shin pads , just go and play, have fun and treat it like your over the park with your mates . My mum never had a mobile phone back then because we couldn’t afford anything like that and everything went through her work or home phone. I asked you after the game if I could call home to speak to her, you said use my mobile and call this number, it was my mum on the other end of the line and she said she was outside by the away team bus, I went outside to see her and asked how did you get here because I knew she couldn’t afford it, she told me Ray had got the club to pay for her train ticket to come to the game and then told me Ray got the club to give us our first mobile phone in life during the week and he wanted to surprise me knowing I was making my debut. I was given a chance by Ray Wilkins one of the legends of the game and to this day you are the first person I mention when it comes to football and that will never change. You will be missed so much not just in the football world but as a real human being with such class. Thanks for everything and my thoughts go to all the family. Sleep well Sir Ray Wilkins

Did you here what Pep said ? 'I know that this (the coach attack) is not Liverpool, the history of the club is much bigger than this four or five or 10 guys.' Yeah 4 or 5 guys was it that killed 39 Italians

The fans with 'dignity and respect'

It was weird at first. Here we were, absolutely proper shit- and then we had the National team captain at 18. I knew fans of other teams that fucking hated us, pitied us for falling from 1970s glam boys into a debt ridden joke. These fans like most back then, properly supported England. Suddenly they had to respect us, Ray was brilliant playing for England, and as Chelsea fans it was a real boost.

''We'll win something this year''

Well you'd probably get a rose tinted view of it -tbh it's loads better now, the pitches, quality of football etc but the sheer fuckoffness of going to games then was better !

Yes -known as 'the reserve'. When men were men . Sometimes it wasn't unusual to see a game where one or both teams would end up with 9 or 10. But they also used crude steroid injections on in play injuries so they could carry on. Quite a few ended up crippled later in life. Yeah Ray was exceptional. Played pinpoint accurate across the field passes, quite Fabregasesque, but with a better work rate.

Interview with 18 year old Ray

Exactly and I am a bit angry with the club - sacked for allegedly saying to Roman and Gourlay ''Well if you ever played the game you'd know differently''. Booted out the next day. His heavy drinking started soon after. Anyway I was privileged to see him play loads of games -as were you Iggy ? Fuck me if you think we are a one man team with Hazrd, you should have seen us when we were with Wilkins. Midfield maestro. Never forgotten.

Yeah cause that well known EU country Israel don't have teams in it do they ? Jesus -Norway, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey.....are they in the EU ?

This could quite easily go tits up

Good luck with that. Sibneft crew stick together.
