The only place to be

Mourinho OUT! Just look at the fucking table people http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/tables We're fucking fourth behind Villa and Burnley. This is shit and I don't see anything different from last season. Rant over.

Nice clearance by Torres....fuck me.

Fair point. We gave it a go lads but this game really shows that the last 109 years has been a waste.

The fuck are you on about? Which club's offer for Torres did he turn down? And you're moaning about us keeping a striker who is playing on the left-wing....whilst we have one of the best young left-wings in Europe waiting to come on. Some of the people on this forum.... Yes we get it, you like Torres. Do you ever worry about that ugly tattoo you have in tribute to him makes you easily identifiable when you're going through his garbage?

Really? Last reports were that he was being shopped for £5 million because no-one wanted him. His contract is too expensive and his quality is lacking, so who would actually want him? We need one of them shitehouse Turkish teams to come in for him because everyone else knows the truth about Mikel.

Sacked Sacked Sacked Came to end of contract Sacked Sacked Sacked Came to end of contract Replaced him with Matic and didn't use him much after None of those managers is perfect and the current one has marginalised him. Mikel can't be sold apparently. No top team wants him and he's holding out for a passport here. He's lucky that Romeu fucked his ACL.

Because at the moment he's one of our three strikers and he needs to perform for us, plus this two striker system needs to be worked on. You might not like Torres but this is about Chelsea.

Your sig is a fucking joke.

That two striker system with one dropping off to the wing does seem tailor-made for Cavani, but Torres did also put a decent shift in there the other day. Hazard on after 45 anyway.

Depends if he's going to play that deep against Burnley. Could see a more workmanlike midfield of Matic and Ramires/Van Ginkel in that game. Plus Fabregas is a better number 10 than Oscar. Boom!!

I think he'll play a bit more at City than he would here, but the issue is clearly the relationship between NYCFC and MCFC. Who knows if we'd want him or if they'd loan him to us? I also don't think it's just about fitness because he clearly thinks he can still compete for England so why not play for a team in the Champions League? He's an intelligent man. He didn't have to play football for a living. He didn't have to work his bollocks off on his fitness. But he did, because he's a competitor. Don't you dare cheer a single goal that was the result of years of commitment and dedication to his profession then expect him to quit because it might make you unhappy.

The reality is that no-one is happy that this is happening. No-one wants to see Frank play for City and no-one's first reaction was anything other than 'what the fuck?!'. But most fans that I know have come to a sort of compromise that this kinda makes sense for Frank, who is still ambitious, and his clubs. We offered him a contract but his status in the squad was downgraded, he was on less money and he probably wouldn't start much. You can't begrudge him wanting to leave. The worst thing about this though has been the reaction of certain people, to the point where he's being labelled a Judas. That is utterly sickening and NOT the Chelsea Football Club I grew up around. I don't even recognise the mentality of someone who would say that in our supporters make-up. So whilst I can forgive Lampard for this move because he is a professional footballer who is ambitious (something we benefited greatly from), it's the professional cunts slagging him off I simply can't. They don't represent this club and their mawkish, faux-outrage belongs in the heart of the Kop and not on Fulham Road.

So you hope he scores a goal that denies us the title, upsetting millions of Chelsea supporters around the world just so you can 'win' an argument on the internet. I think this more than anything else sums up the petty nature of those questioning Lampard's loyalty and character.

Actually reading through the comments on this thread is embarrassing. Fortunately there's a real difference between the comments on the internet and the reality of Chelsea supporters reaction to this. Not a single song will be chanted against him. He won't receive a single boo. He'll still be as much of a Chelsea legend as he ever was and the people bitching and moaning will find something else to bitch and moan about, like the colour of our training kits (sorry terminator x).

I don't understand people who say they don't want him to go to a rival...but should go to QPR instead. We are living in a world where so-called Chelsea fans question Frank Lampard's class. Go watch the penalty he took against Liverpool just after his mother died and just realise what a ton of horseshit you just spouted and then it's probably a good idea that you apologise.

You care soooooo much about what other people think. It's massively insecure. Every Chelsea supporter knows exactly who Frank is and exactly what he meant to this club. You are in a small minority of people who could give a fuck when a New York marketing man refers to him as a former Man City player. He's Frank Lampard. He's a Chelsea legend. That was true the moment he helped us win the league, it was true yesterday and it'll be true long after everyone on this forum is gone. Once again, pull yourself together. Half a stiff drink and a wank.

I'm quite prepared to call bollocks on that one. But first I'm going to laugh...and laugh. Disgusted....for fucks sake man, pull yourself together. There are some Scousers who would look at your reaction to this and say 'Christ, he's going a bit overboard'.

Some people just aren't looking to be outraged at every turn. I guarantee no-one heard the news and was happy, but actually spend some time thinking about it and it's hard to get that upset about. It makes sense for him, it makes sense for his club(s). Put it like this - you seem to be making the most noise about this, but you're also the person who got their knickers in a twist over our training kit being the same colour as City's home kit. It's probably fair to say that you aren't representative of most our our support, with all due respect.

Anyone wanna say 'not proper Chelsea'?

Jobs was forced out of Apple and started up his own company. This is a weird comparison. I guarantee your thinking is very much in the minority. This guy is a Chelsea legend, he was the captain on our greatest night and he's given so much to this club. I simply don't understand your comments on this. I think you need to take some time and just refresh your memory about Lamps.

In a sense it's a reminder of how lucky we are. Arsenal have the prospect of a 27 year old Fabregas playing against them, whereas we face legends when they're 35/36. Liverpool lose Suarez, Spurs lose Bale, but we don't tend to lose players in their prime if we still want them.

Do Southampton want him? Could they afford him? Why would he go there when they're not in the Champions League?

JT nearly left for City until we increased his wages. PS. he wasn't paid in gummy drops and rainbows.

Name another team.

But Frank clearly still wants to play. Sorry, but the guy gave us everything for more than 12 years and people want him just to fuck off and train for 6 months or play in Australia? Have some respect for the ultimate competitor wanting to compete at the highest level for as long as he can.
