Surely we dont need that much firepower against Huddersfield ? I know Frank Sinclair is ex Chels but he's 36

Is that why Yougs hasn't been on much, - shes in luuurve ?

Well an unlikely ally in the shape of Sepp 'altzeimers' Blatter has stepped in. "This does not take into consideration the fans of the clubs and it gives the impression that they just want to go on tour to make some money," Blatter said. "This will never happen, at least as long as I am the president of Fifa." from BBC. He also said, Don Corleone like, that ''it may harm Englands World Cup bid''. ie if the FA go for it, forget the World Cup, you mugs.

Lol just seen someone selling a ticket on e bay for 500 notes or ''buy now for £1000'' . I've reported him Edit; Theres a Spuds fan at work who's brother has three tickets so, to cut along story short might be able to get one. Sitting with a load of Yids though

Cracker, this thread was about racism in football, not hooliganism or arab fightbacks against Israeli genocide. It was about various respectable organisations citing Israeli teams as being the most racist. Looking at arab hooliganism is like looking at a child rebelling at being abused, and if you want to talk about Israeli atrocities and the holocaust against the Palestinians -open a thread in the So Bar. Yeah going to lock this thread as well, before Rain Man takes another hit of crystal meth.

Too right - he's been lucky, theres loads of Kenyons going up and down the motorway in Vauxhall cavaliers with their jackets hanging up, racing to their next sales appointment.

Ha Ha Ha !! Not stirring or anything. I'll leave that to you seeing as you know his 'problems' and understand his sensibilities.

Thats nice. I want an oral exam if shes having mushy peas as well.

Load of old cack, or chance to do those practices she normally frowns upon ? I cant believe the local ASDA more or less has a whole aisle devoted to red and white tat. Might treat her to a pie and chips if shes good.

He's here, he's there, he hasn't got no hair http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/1632083.jpg...930FDCFC4C15FBB

Frank Sinclair will get a standing ovation from the fans that remember him anyway

Lol, Well we've over 250 scouts worldwide, so there should be some somewhere

Huudersfield have the King of the Dodgy Back Pass. Nah he was OK, gave a few heart stopping moments though http://www.chelseafc.com/xxchelsea180706/i...article_1241033

Good post agree with most of that. To me SWP is an average winger, much better played centrally, and then preferably as a sub coming on. Kalou, from what I saw of the ACN is better than before. As you say the lynch pin that we take for granted is Makalele, and will take some replacing. Strange as it may sound I wouldnt mind another top keeper. If Cech gets fucked again, although the cover is good , its not that reassuring.

Its looking promising. Is that Stochs favoured position ? Do you think in terms of resources the youth team, and the reserves come to that, should reflect the success and quality of the first team ?

I feel Malouda has the potential -he was brilliant at Lyon. To me this highlights the problems that we will incur. I hate harking on about Mourinhi/Grant but Malouda would be playing better under Mourinho, he would motivate, bollock them, and be an inspiration. Theres noone to do that now, though maybe Ten Cates has a go now and again. Agree that Ben Haim, Sidarro and Pisswell should be goners

Thats the fella. When he stamps on that blokes head after telling him to bite the kerb.? Fucken 'ell that was grim. You're not wrong there Esk -nearly all racism is borne out of ''fear of the other'' ie the unknowin difference between people. Its taught, and never inate.

Top film -forget the actors name, but sees the error of his ways.

Aroop, supreme leader.

Well our allocations gone now -so its the TV for me. We better beat the Yids or I can see Grant getting grief, probably publicly stoned in the car park.

Fight ?

Its a good film though -well I thought so. That scene on it's own looks a bit mad, but it's not what the film is about. One of the best thrillers for a long time. Directed by Cronenberg -The Fly, Scanners, History of Violence, Dead Zone etc You can take any scene out of a film and put it out of context. The Brompton Cemetry scene is a mafia hit not Chelsea fans.

This is at best meaningless, and at worst a total distortion.The Deloitte list refers to only to income, not to profitability. OK lets start with Real Madrid, they're top by the way . Now it's true they are a rich club. They charge for TV rights on an individual basis, which means games have different prices, and they can haggle with teh TV companies for each match. There are three clubs in Spain that are essentially rich. ManUtd are not in any way profitable. Crewe, Doncaster and Accrington Stanley are more in profit. The Glazers sneakily borrowed the money @ £750 000 000, via a bank and set up a separate company. The interest payments are just about covered by ManUtds income. So all ManUtd fans are doing is paying off the Glazers overdraft. The Glazers have essentially bought a brand, get the fans to pay for it whilst it goes up in value,like a house, then they'll sell and in their mind make a massive profit on the backs of fans. By using a separate company, if it all went tits up, they would walk away owing nothing and ManUtd would collapse. This wont happen because they know football fans are the most loyal punters in the World. We dont really count. OK income generated is great, but we're owned ouright by a sole individual, who at the end of the day can do what he likes with it. Barcelona is an interesting one , and the one most to admire. As it's a Co Op -owned by the fans -there are no shareholders syphoning off a dividend every year and sucking the lifeblood out of it.

We here a lot about racism in Spain and Italy but by far the worst year on year is found in Israel. FOOTBALL IN ISRAEL RIDDLE WITH RACISM -From Kick It Out Chanting “Death to the Arabs,” hundreds of young Jewish soccer fans raced up a dusty Israeli side street to catch a bus carrying fans of the Arab team that had just beat theirs in a tense game. The supporters jeered even after the bus pulled away. Moments earlier, an Arab fan had been hit in the head with a rock, bloodying his forehead. Welcome to professional football in Israel, where racism and violence have become part of the country’s most popular sport. Before Monday’s match, the home team, Bnei Yehuda of Tel Aviv’s working-class Hatikva neighbourhood, was awarded a plaque for being Israel’s most tolerant and sportsmanlike team by the New Israel Fund, which has been tracking football fan behaviour in a new racism index. “Today they received a prize, but then because they lose a game this happens,” said Nur Ghentos, manager of the victorious Arab team, Bnei Sakhnin, as he watched medics bandage the head of the fan hit by a rock. “It looks like when you are winning you can be tolerant, but when you lose this is the result. This is the story of soccer in Israel.” Before this season, Bnei Yehuda fans had a reputation for being rowdy and racist. The team had been leading Israel’s top league until Monday’s loss - and for some Jewish fans, losing to an Arab team is the ultimate insult. Immediately after the game, fans for the most part were restrained, even applauding briefly for the rival team. New Israel Fund officials noted that the problems began, as they often do, outside the stadium. Soccer hooliganism in Israel has not reached European levels, but it is very much part of the culture of the game here - something civil society organizations and team officials are trying to change. Beginning last season, the New Israel Fund racism index has been giving supporters of each team a weekly grade. Volunteers are planted as monitors in the crowds and record the number of racist songs, slogans and incidents they observe. The results, ranking the most and least tolerant teams, are published weekly in the media and have caused a stir among soccer fans. Beitar Jerusalem are cited as the worst of the worst with racism a fabric of their supporters. The tolerance lacking in the stands can be found on the field, however, where Jews and Arabs often play on the same team. “On the soccer field is one of the only jobs where you see Arabs and Jews working together,” said Eliezer Yaari, executive director of the New Israel Fund in Israel, an organisation that promotes equality, democracy and social justice. Lior Asulin, a Jewish player, scored the winning goal for the Arab team, Bnei Sakhnin. He was cheered and hoisted on his teammates’ shoulders as fans roared and whooped. Racism in Israeli soccer stems mostly from Jewish fans, who feel they can shout slogans such as “Death to the Arabs” without fear of repercussion, experts say. The same cannot be said for their Arab counterparts. Jews playing on Arab teams say they feel at home on their teams. The Arab fans “give us lots of respect; there is no racism. They treat us well and we enjoy every minute,” Asulin said, smiling as he was slapped on the back after the game by a steady stream of fans. The cellular phone company Cellcom dropped its sponsorship of Beitar Jerusalem, which is considered to have the most racist fans in the country. The fans are known to have shouted “Death to the Arabs” for the duration of entire games, and the team is the only one in the premier league that never has hired an Arab player. Team officials denied any link between Cellcom’s decision to drop its sponsorship and fan behavior. It was revealed that at Beitar Jerusalem games, song sheets have been passed out with racist lyrics put to the tune of a popular song. The song was directed at one of Israel’s top Arab players, Salim Toameh, who plays for Hapoel Tel Aviv. “This is the Land of Israel, Toameh. This is the Jewish state. I hate you Salim Toameh, I hate all the Arabs,” the fans sang. The song now is commonly heard at games across the country and is directed at Arab players, whether or not Toameh is playing. According to the New Israel Fund racism index, Beitar Jerusalem fans ranked as the most racist. Beitar Jerusalem spokesman Lior Mai took issue with the index, saying it provoked fans to want to win first place - even as first-place racists. Racism on the soccer field is not limited to the Arab-Jewish arena. Black players - both Ethiopian Jews and foreign players from Africa - have been taunted with shouts of “Dirty black” and “Go back to the jungle.” Baruch Dago, a Jewish Ethiopian player for Maccabi Tel Aviv, reportedly is considering leaving the team because he is so disheartened by racist slurs hurled at him by his own team’s fans.

This forum was fine until you started stirring all kinds of rubbish with your incoherent ramblings. -just why is everyone of your posts edited ??? It's quite obvious you know nothing about football, you've not made one post about it. -just some shit stirring rambling incoherent defence of Grant. I've been supporting Chelsea since 1967 and I dont need twats like you telling me what I can and can't post. Elliott was quite right about that. You're not a Chelsea fan -admit it. As far as Israel is concerned it is a despicable state. Many Hacidic jews in London feel the same about Israel and Zionism. As I said Kick Racism Out of Football regularly cites Israeli teams as having the most racist fans in the World. Anyway, this thread isn't about that so if you wish to discuss that in your rambling illiterate way, I've started a thread in the Football Talk Forum, just so you dont go whining and crying to Admin.
