Fulham Broadway

People really need to get over this romantic emotional attatchment to 'da youf'. Chelsea FC is a corporate business, and the academy a production line, a factory to make profit. "Bbbbbutttt the youth, josh...." No its a ruthless business, for profit, and thats it.

Happens every season. It also goes into toys out the pram territory if chelsea arent top of the league after 3 games. #entitled

Wait till the season starts proper...

I have never taken pre seasons seriously. Its part of a corporate marketing strategy. Our boys had been on the NY cheesecakes, buds, and pizza. Probably.

My Villa season ticket holder mate is going ballistic. Delph was bad enough, but Benteke to the bindippers is mental.

Called LVG a Dutch racist cunt. (no I just made that up)

Good on LVG for dealing with Valdes. That'll teach him not to act all billy big bollocks.

Yes, think that was after the Greek final, 2007 ? Stealing tickets out of little childrens hands. Class and dignity.

Dont disagree with every club having their troublemakers. But proportionately they take the fucking biscuit, and what makes it worse is their denials, and always trying to make out they are victimised. Fuck me that C18 bnp malarkey was decades ago and they were seen off by Chelsea Independent boys and some anti fash lads if I remember rightly

Sorry UJ, you just cant go comparing our supporters to those scum. They are a special breed, all the way back to getting English clubs banned in Europe by murdering 39 people, carving people up with stanley knives, urinating on fans, storming turnstiles including Stamford Bridge. The list is endless. When we sing " Its never youre fault, always the victim" never has a song been more apt.

Yes, and will be funny when he scores against them

Liverpool. Ahh, a club with dignity, history, and so victimised over the years. Bbbbbut whats this ?? Not only Sterling shirt burning in Scouseland but Mr Sterlings twitter account has received racist abuse, messages saying hopefully his 3 year old daughter will die, and that he goes the same way as Fabrice Muamba. Liverpool -class and dignity.

Citeh with money to wipe their arse with, are buying what he could be not what he is + paying more because he's English and because it's Liverpool. However, I think he will be good there

At last ! We make a signing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33445428

Hang on to your programmes, Hull v Chelsea sold for £7000. http://www.grahambuddauctions.co.uk/bidcat/Catalogues.asp?F1=3072&F2=4169&status=A&F4=1054&select=GB08&offset=0

Another hatrick against the yids. Love it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3152152/Chelsea-took-away-Champions-League-dream-stole-Willian-noses-gone-hat-trick-Wembley-Tottenham-Hotspur-fan-view.html

Agree, its a lot of dosh for a 28 year old, and never really noticed him when we've played them

I was worried we might lose the intimidating close to the pitch atmosphere, but after a bit of research it looks like the stands will be at the minimum UEFA distance from the playing field at 7.5m all tech way around. Wembley is 18m* Emirates is 13.8m* Etithad is 12.1m* (Proposed) White Hart Lane is 8.2m* *these are behind the goal distances, couldn't find the gap for the sides

Mourinho not mentioned in the letter either. A deal sanctioned by Ambramovich possibly, and we know what happened last time Mourinhos control was undermined. Hopefully, everyones happy apart from the fans.

Ok hes done it for his family, fair enough. However, youu have to question why the powers that be are letting him go, he has signed a 4-yr deal, so why couldn't he see out the last year with us, then sign a 3yr deal next summer? If reports are true, that he will receive the last year of his contracts wage (£4m), then we end up being out of pocket once we have signed his replacement. We have £6m of the £10m to buy a keeper and pay his wage. Seeing as Stoke are being reported as turning down a £6m bid from us, for Begovic, I'd say we are the mugs. On top of all that, where does it leave Mourinho? Said publicly that he didn't want him to be sold, he was obviously trying to take care of his squad. So we end up swapping Cech for Begovic, and paying out on top. There's absolutely zero FFP in that.

Chelsea reject

Who ?

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Cech to the Arse, he has stated he doesn't want to sell him, so if it does all come back to haunt us it won't be his fault.

People need to get some reality, and not confuse the loyalty fans have with the badge kissing charade that goes on with players and their corporate employers. Their are a few exceptions -JT who briefly flirted with Citeh, and Dan Petrescu springs to mind - "In the summer, Tottenham made an offer, but it was me who turned down the transfer," he told onefootball.com. "I said it would be unfair to leave a club who had helped me greatly after the problems at Bradford. And I would have felt like a traitor playing for a London team that was not Chelsea." In the main its the fans that have the loyalty -its that and TV money what keeps these corporate giants going after all -but dont expect integrity from players.

Exactly, we're not scousers for fucks sake.
