At half time he starts having a go not maliciously but more out of frustration because he can't quite believe how shit Andy Myers is ha ha. The one fact about him I still find funny is that his favourite show is It A'int Half Hot Mum hence why he used to call the players his lovely boys.

I know he was only with us those 3 years but he had a good goal average didn't he? Excellent partnership with Magic Box. About 1 in 3 ishh games. I liked the guy.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Wasn't sure where to post this. Bates treated ex players with utter disdain so good to see the club doing something for the old boys. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/every-chelsea-legend-over-60-has-received-a-300-harrods-hamper-from-the-club-each-christmas-since-a3437141.html Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The best memory for me was undoubtedly the Champions league final. I remember that day distinctly I was sitting in the library gathered with my project members to work on a course project. I was streaming the match and just couldn't concentrate on the work and was literally speechless when I saw Mulller score. And then Drogba scored the equalizer and the winning penalty, that feeling... I was streaming internally while trying to remain civil and calm on the outside. One of the best memories as a Chelsea fan for me. Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to walk around the Shed carrying brown containers the burgers were covered in masses of tin foil early 80's I would say.

Some people try to defend it by saying we won some FA cups and a EURO cup but that's it. Just a few years before the big money, we were consistently among the high end up the table like Everton have been for a long while now. If we'd have stayed at this Everton level of the few trophies we had, and sometimes going on a thriller and chasing a team down for the league title when we weren't expected to, I'd probably love the club a little more. In 1998 we finished 3rd, which is better than Everton will ever do (I reference them because to me they're a 'big' club while not the biggest, making talk of us being a small club before Abramovich nonsense to me.) 2 more wins and we would've won the league, this being against elite United & Arsenal sides. That was truly impressive. If we were more stable, we could've kept biting at the ankles of the greats without the big money. But with the big money, now we are a great; but which great would remain still without the big money? None. We were great & we are greater now.

I know it must sound basic maybe neanderthal to some but I liked it because clubs dreaded coming to us and having to walk from the tube. Theres not much things better on match day than walking along with their lot and abusing them till they cry.

From about 1977 to about 94 the Northstand was full on only a few occasions by only a handful of teams. I would say Spurs, Man United (not always same as Liverpool) West Ham, Arsenal, Millwall, Boro play off game, Sheffield Utd cup match are all I remember seeing. QPR were given the whole end one year but it wasn't exactly rammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times now if 2 lots agree a meet by phone you either get 1 lot not show or they turn up with more than they said. Or so I'm told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
