Fulham Broadway

Barnsley straight after being knocked out of FA semis, manage to beat promotion candidates Watford 3-0 away last night. Let's hope this same effect takes hold of Arsenal at Old Trafford after losing to the wallpushers

It's only a flesh wound... http://www.scene-stealers.com/wp-content/you...-holy-grail.jpg

Have to admit there was a little bit of me that hoped we messed up -and I've heard this from other Chelsea fans as well - just so's the ''Fat Twat in Black Trying Really Badly to Look Like Mourinho'' would fuck off.

Started off when fans could buy in at £35 a throw. Call themselves EbbsFleet. There was a transition period when Liam Daish picked the team, now the fans are doing it. The team has been doing well. The Share Liverpool FC one which is a bit more serious, and aims to put the club in the hands of 100 000 fans, is also doing OK according to The Times. Anyway, back to EbbsFleet..............May 10th FA Trophy Final against Torquay Utd. You can't argue with Wemberleeee.

When Fun Boy Three came out I remember people not knowing whether to take them seriously. With these as well it was the big haired eighties coming into fruition and all down hill... http://www.spikesmanagement.co.uk/photos/bananarama001.jpg I would though. Definitely now.

Thats a warm welcome -and welcome to this forum. Like the T shirt and the Celery Serbia one -could be up for one of those. Borota was a Chelsea favourite and could be quite mad sometimes, like bouncing the ball on the crossbar.

Then theres the CFC censorship. Mourinho and Ranieri arent allowed to be mentioned in any article or programme according to The Times . They ran a piece about when Mourinho was instigated, all mention of Ranieri had to be removed from official Chelsea publications. Similarly the club returned the proof copy of the Carling Cup Final programme and demanded all references to Mournho be removed So it's up to Mischief to write things like this and all hail to Jim and the internet.

I symathise with gooners this morning -they were well and truly shafted with dodgy decisions, and we know ourselves what its like up there on their 'Special European Nights'.

Yeah have seen that Chelsea Serbia flag. It's impressive. Presumably it would have upset the predominantly Muslim Fenerbache fans. Welcome to this site, and you can introduce yourself in the New Members Forum if you want.

..as the Beatles sung -'with a little help from their friends'... Confident this time. The team wont let us down second leg , only thing that could is Grants selection policy of pulling numbers out of a hat and mental substitutions.

True. Saw The Jam couple of times and I dont think the present lineup or anything Weller does will ever top that. To give Foxton and Buckler a bit of slack -they did ask Weller several times to do it again. Whilst Paul Weller was carving out a lucrative career either Foxton or Buckler, forget which, was borassic, and carving furniture in his garage on some documentary or other. Wouldn't see the Rolling Stones now -almost a parody of themselves -but saw them twice in 70s and 1982 - at their peak, and unbelievable atmosphere. There was some Who concert on TV a year ago ? still have it- and even Daltrey can still cut it. Agree about Madness they have a 'not take it seriously' angle that lasts -unbelievable the amount of top ten hits and No 1s they had as well

Yup top tune and What I like most about You is Your Girlfriend, Friday Night, Do Nothing and... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ivvM7VH7U

Yeah most of our players have played in 'atmospheres' all over the world, hardly intimidated by a load of scarf waving inbreds. We could improve ours for the second leg by banning tourists and corporates and only allowing Chelsea fans in. Liverpool fans should be banned for storming the gates last time and generally being cuntish.

Thought we laboured again when we should have had it sewn up quicker. Cudicini has been incredibly unlucky -but Hilario did a sterling job. I'm not going to condemn Essien -just the climate of booking players because they have a little timmy tantrum , dont hurt anyone , and bounce the ball is daft. OK shame he'll miss Anfield, but at least he'll be fired up for the 2nd leg. MOM for me.

We need to go up there, fly out the traps, and attack, attack, attack, -none of this sit back and go for a draw nonsense. We need a bit of luck as well what with dodgy refs, our 'dreadful dissent', and goals that dont cross the line. Arsenal lost last night not to the better team , or because it was one of those 'Special Anfield European nights' *projectile vomits* - but to a ref that was probably bought by Liverpool FC.

In a way I agree, but this excuse they're looking for upped a gear or two last month. On March 18th the FA launched its campaign ''Respect''. This was designed to address ''bad behaviour'' in football. You cant get more ambiguous. Anyway, within 24 hours Ashley Cole got his yellow against the yids and was castigated as the devil, after he and a few teamates dared to argue with Riley. Then followed Mascheranos 'dissent' yellow. ''Respect'' appears everywhere now in the Sun and all the tabloids, and I notice the Daily Mail has a ''SHUT IT'' campaign. It then permeated itself into the National game with Capello announcing Ferdinand had shown ''more respect''. Hmmmm, that obviously doesnt apply to the drug testers or women raped at ''his parties''. To me this is just another sanitisation of football, though it has to be said there is this culture of denial and self interest of managers -then again thats always been there. In the main it's just a creeping erosion of what makes the game passionate -and Chelsea, since Abramovich and in particular Mourinho, has been pointedly singled out as the spoilt brat that needs chastising.

Arsenal for me. Liverpool this, Liverpool that, historeee etc What a load of old shite. Plus they're always sooo spawny in Europe. I'd feel more confident of us beating the gooners right now.

There does seem to be a problem -could be partly down to 'ill discipline' but also down to anti-Chelsea new kids on the block attitude from officials that has been evident since Abramovichs cash injection. The low-key attitude adopted by Man Utd now, with the regular respect shown to refs plays dividends for them and can obviously sway decisions. Rooney always has a joke with the ref before kick off, and the players shake the refs hand at the end. This is a deliberate policy by the Old Trafford hierarchy and could be possibly worth several points accrued at the end of the season

50 stitches !! ? Another reason why Ben Haim was a big fucking mistake.

Definitely, could do with a full on 2 Tone revival. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWZzsxgH2gY

Bit of a stupid argument really, hes good at what he does. Another example of us ruining football. Its Joses fault.

Not wanting to take any chances, he could be out for a while now Skyspurts Chelsea are sweating over the fitness of Petr Cech ahead of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg clash with Fenerbahce. Cech has just recovered from an ankle injury and was expected to return to The Blues' starting line-up on Tuesday. However, he is reported to have suffered a fresh injury after taking a knock to the head during training on Sunday. Due to Cech's previous head injury, which saw him suffer a fractured skull at Reading last season, Chelsea will not want to take any chances with the Czech No.1. Cech, who still ears a rugby-style skull cap for protection during games, suffered a cut which needed medical attention. Although not through to be serious, sources have told the Czech media that he is a fresh doubt for the Fenerbahce game. Italian Carlo Cudicini has been standing in for Cech, but the West London giants are desperate to get their No.1 back into the starting line-up.

Anyone like these ? The Specials To Reform Coventry's legendary ska evangelists The Specials have confirmed that they will reunite for live dates this autumn. No dates have been announced as yet but the band will spend the summer rehearsing for the tour. Speaking to the BBC, singer Terry Hall said: "Well, we're still trying to put dates together, but hopefully September/ October time. We need to spend the summer rehearsing... I think it's taken me 30 years to realise we could do it really well." The singer believes that the reunion will remain true to the band's orginal intentions, saying: "Because I saw Patti Smith do 'Horses', and I saw The Pixies reforming... you do it with dignity or don't do it at all". Fans were given a tantalising taste when Hall and the band's guitarist Lynval Golding played 'Gangsters' and 'A Message To You Rudy' with Lily Allen and Damon Albarn respectively at last year's Glastonbury Festival.

not over till the fat lady sings.... Rooneys equaliser could be the point that wins it for them, what with their goal difference etc -but Arsenal at old Trafford could be a defining moment, and it may well go the last game of the season. Whatever happens it's a rollercoaster this season If we win it.... all those red supporting journos saying how we have ruined the game etc.... will love it

Lol I wouldnt mind being called a 'fucking Brit' . Well the Yid thing directed towards Tottenham has been there as long as the 1950's and 1960's as they were a predominantly Jewish owned club. Tottenham fans embraced this and call themselves the Yid army. However nearly all the rich ownwers and directors of Premiership clubs are now Jewish. You have Avram Glazer and his brothers at Man Utd, Gaydemark at Portsmouth, Randy Lerner at Villa, Daniel Levy with Alan Sugar and David Pleat at Tottenham. Arsenal have their fair share and we have Abramovich, Eugene Tenenbaum, Bruce Buck, Simon Greenberg, and our beloved Avram Grant. I think this helped him to get the job if we're honest. Just take over the reins of a thorobred already running called Chelsea FC. There is anti semitism sometimes, but I'd be more worried about Pakistan and India having nuclear missiles poised at each other to be honest, or the impending Indian Food crisis - then again you're in the US -probably safer
