Chin up!

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

I personally don't think we should have to get our chins up! This is the best ive felt aftet a defeat to those Shit bags. We are definitely moving forward under avb and playing more expansive exciting football. There is a long way to go in the league and we will be there or there about a come the end. I honestly see this season as a building project so anything above improvement in the team is a bonus.

It is kinda wierd. There is an air of positivity amidst all Chelsea Fans even though we lost by two goal margin and even after Torres howler, which is a good sign of things to come. The loss hasnt really felt like one and is one of the reasons why Evra and Fergie have stressed that Man Utd need to raise their game which in other words means "we were lucky to win as Chelsea could have banged in 5 with an inform Torres".

Everyone is positive about the team and Torres in particular. Which is a good sign and for once I have the sense of feeling that man utd felt they were lucky to win it.

The sad part is, media doesn't see it that way. They see 3-1 scoreline and write a heading that says PL needs a strong Chelsea to challenge Man UTd. Well if we can get an offside goal and a pin ball assist right under our feet to tap it in then I guess we can be as strong as them

Sometimes its better to fly under the radar. Let the media write off Chelsea while AVB gets his evolution going one game, one training session at a time.

To be honest right now.. It doesn't feel like a loss, and I'd rather we lost it like that rather than a controversial win for us whilest playing shit.

Am I the only one thinking arsanal with this? It's scary close to how their fans speak

But I agree, the performance was there, result was not

Shit happens when you play at Old Trafford. I feel incredibly positive about the remainder of the season - we're so far ahead of the teams behind us and still very close to those ahead of us.

And think the fact AVB feels happy even though we lost helps a bit,focusing more on the postives then the negatives not bringing down morale and all

Agree with "MadMax" 100%. feel really positive. they took their chances and we didnt. and even a gooner mate today said we were unlucky. 2 offside goals and a pinball goal that feel straight to rooney. Having said that it would have been helpful not to concede so early, and maybe on another day Rameres shot goes in and 1/2 of their goals dont count. But we played very very well. We went for it, none of this parking the bus shit.

Thought our support yesterday was superb. Even mates watching it on the tv texted me and said he could hear us the whole game. Thought "We're gonna win the league" at the end was terrific and summed up the mood, which is really positive. And who's the wanker in the wig made me laugh. KTBFFH.

The difference is Arsenal fans did it season after season and do it regardless.

When we beat them under Hiddink then twice again under Carlo its "it don't matter because we play prettier football", they constantly say their team is set to dominate in 3 years then when they fall flat and the players dont make it they say it again.

If were still in this stage in 2 years and the same things are being said again and again then we will be sounding like Arsenal.
