I've read that Harry Redknapp as quoting that Chelsea are a long way from being in the same bracket as Man U and that they are a special club which are recognised the world over through their history I know United are a top club, but SO are Chelsea. We ARE recognised the world over just like United and have plenty of history. How is it that we are top at the moment and not Man U? How can he say such things? We hare got Silverware just like them and ar successful just like them.

As a new member I've certainly found it easier to get tickets from the club as you get a better chance of getting a seat with a membership. The golden rule seems to be to log on early on the internet if you want the best seats in the best areas of the stadium. I don't know about Viagogo as i've nwever gone via that route.

Sorry they took your camera of you, what wankers. I suppose they have a set of rules in place which the club have to follow, but still as you're only in this country for a limited period you'd of thought they could make an exception. I'm glad you've enjoyed your stay in the UK, OK you haven't had the best of weathers but at least you've had the chance to watch the Chels play and those memories are something that no one can take away from you.

Not a great match, but hey a we won and that's the main thing. The atmosphere in MH Lower was definitely better than the West Stand. :blue scalf:

Finally able to watch some highlights, courtesy of Kez, thanks mate again. Another winner and great to see a last minute goal, star man Malouda!! Who can stop us now?

It'd be nice to say hello at either the Porto or Spurs game.

Great pics, when you do you go back home?

So i'm taking it that you didn't receive yours then and that you'll be collecting them from the club?

Yep I am, can't wait to see the pitch flood lit.

I have to be so careful, as I start feeling sick after 3 pints and get really silly. No I haven't tried Jacques. what's that like? I had Bulmers when I went to the Fulham game, that wasn't too bad.

Fraid not, but thanks anyway. I just go to be the most unlucky person ever.

Snap, I can't stand lager, has to be Strongbow everytime.

What's your poison? I bet you drink Budweiser

Cheers Kez, I don't know what i'd do without you. I definitely owe you a pint or 2.

You'll never guess what's happened, cause MOTD was on so late yesterday, I thought i'd record it this morning. Just gone to watch the playback in my bedroom, and the picture started to move up and down and the sound was distorted. I took the tape into my dads room to try it on there and it's now got stuck in the machine and can't get it out. Of course you can't get it on Iplayer which is flaming typical...help.... Do you think someones trying to tell me something.....?

Welcome to TC, and post well. :blue scalf:

I thought I read somewhere that you could collect your tickets right up to Kickoff? Is that not true or at least an hour before kickoff. It's cutting it a bit fine now especially as the match is on Tuesday. They keep on about that the club is not responsible for failures in Royal Mail. I can't understand why you can't have an option to collect the tickets from the club rather than having them sent out and having to pay the booking fee each time.

Yeah hopefully they'll show all the good bits. Definitely need to be where the action is as I know I can enjoy it so much more when amongst like minded people or I guess i'll have to go to the pub and watch it and get pissed . Roll on Porto is all I can say.

Am going to buy a laptop as I couldn't get on line during the match, really gutted. Sounds as though it was a good game. Will have to watch highlights on MOTD tonight.

Well they are the official body aren't they and they can do the hell what they like, sod everyone else

They obviously want to set an example and that's what they're doing. I think it's disgraceful and shouldn't be aloud to happen.

The fact that we have a 100 % winning streak with Carlo so far makes me think we haven't got anything to worry about and that we can continue our success. He comes from one of the top football nations in the world and so has a deep understanding of the game and has the knowledge and wisdom to push the squad to further success.

I know I've still got a lot to learn and am trying to keep abreast with what's happening both with The Chels and other clubs. It's kind of difficult when you've got no one in your family that's not remotely interested. I suppose that's one reason I've joined TC so that I can try and talk about the club. I'm guessing that the last time Coventry probably won anything was a long time ago?

OK, sorry you're right. Out of interest did he choose Chelsea because Coventry were crap?

I see from your profile that you come from Coventry, how did you come to support Chelsea?
