I went more bonkers watching home on Ipad than their own fans at the stadium.

KDB had a massive game. Sterling too!

how the hell did they manage to lose it... I guess Laporte had a terrible game with kompany slightly behind. 

Ederson may be great with his feet but as a goalie, not right there at the top for me.

Jose is always right.

 

4 teams left I would like Ajax to win it, then Barca and if it's English final Spurs over Liverpool.

Spurs? no fucking way, might as well be the scousers, anyone but Spurs ffs

Ajax v Barca final. Mark my words.

i pray to God it is,  UEFA will try to cook something up, wait and see. It would be the first ever final between these 2 i think.

Maybe that kind of thinking is the reason why there is so much hate in football.

Obviously such fans have to be banned or worse, but generalisation is bad. 

Its the reason why everyone now thinks Chelsea has racist fans, when in fact 95% arent.

So yeah, Pool has a bunch of cuntish fans. Chelsea has those too.

But why should I despise Liverpool performances, Salah, Firmino etc when they have nothing to do with that?

One thing is what happens on the pitch. Whenever we play or if it helps Chelsea, Im 100% down to see their downfall. But anything else, I dont mind. The players themselves are big friends once they leave the pitch, its funny how the fans seem to be always way more hostile, when its usualy the players that get the cucked when teams lose, or opponent dives. If I see a good performance that doesnt hurt Chelsea, I will applaud. 

I absolutely despise Spuds when we play them, but tonight I simply enjoyed the match. I dont mind if Pool wins PL. Or if City. Or if it was anyone else. I equaly dont like seeing anyone win that title (unless its an odd one like Leicester) because its not Chelsea. Therefore I dont realy mind if its Pool or City this year. Idealy I dont want either but its got to be one. All I care though is that we finish top 4 (hardly tho). If we raced for title, then yeah I would celebrate Pool or City loss like a win for us. 

I get english (or uk based) fans though, its much bigger for you though since you live in such environment and get affected by many things.

Yes it's understandable someone who looks at it from a neutral perspective. For fans that have supported for a long time, it's like rivalry between Barca/Real, City/Rovers, Boca/Plate, stuff that will never go away. It doesn't eat us completely and is just a thing that means we want our rivals to lose.  But yes I understand, you've probably got a favourite team in Slovenia and I don't mind their rivals winning. Basketball is big in the broken up Yugoslavian nations and it's like I don't mind Serbia or Lithuania winning at basketball.

2009 Barca game and 2005 Pool one.. It's been 10-15 years and I'm still about to loose my shit

 

 

think about it, thats 2 champions league finals denied to us, if var was available back then who knows where we would be right now, maybe with 2 or 3 cups, immortalized in football. I guess everything happens for a reason and i wouldnt change the events that led to Munich 2012 for anything. Cheers

WHAT A GAME!!! for the neutrals which most of us are not ... I wanted City to win it because they are clear better team than Spurs but then u have to give it to Spurs without Kane & with luck they hit 3 at City which not many have done ... It had everything that a blockbuster movie needs. 

Moving away from that game, I feel Liverpool would beat Barca over the 2 leg. 

[Special Juan 28,141]

I wanted City to win, but I tell you what VAR has just taken away every little of joy you can show now, or at least for me anyway.

When Sterling scored, or thought he did, I didn't even jump up, my little lad did, literally everything is under review and now I feel as if everything is going to be ruled out for one reason or another.

The game is well and truly fucked.

Better this than having unworthy winners.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Just hope we never have a moment like that! To go from a high to a low so quick! No thank you 

Do admire Klopp for what he's done. To built a team which are in the semi final for the 2nd year and challenging for the league as well.. Playing the football they are and losing so few games this season. Their signings all seem to be working so well even if was some doubt seeing how much money was spent on some players. It's paid off. 

Shame we never got him..

HAPPIEST MOMENT OF THE SEASON FOR ME!!!!  FUCK YOU FRAUD COACH! Three seasons in the row they got knocked out by weaker team. Monaco, Liverpool, Tottenham. He only needs another billion to spend to reach final. His celebration and then face after offside was priceless. Without VAR he would win it again like in 2009 against us or Arsenal in 2011.

PEP is not a fraud coach. He won the league last season and has city very competitive. 

You can say about the money but look at us and united we also spend some good money and look how we are sucking. 

At the end of the day city are still in a better position then us. And pep has done great for city.

I feel the same that was so heartbreaking. VAR really suck out the joy out of the game.

That's it. You can spend as much money as you want doesn't mean they'll play well together. Still work to always be done.  Like you said we've spent a lot of money just recent years it's been on the wrong people.

Im no neutral, Im a Chelsea fan since I was 11. I have not seen it all, but enough to absolutely hate Pool (2005), United (2008), nevermind all the league games. When we play, I want them to lose worse than when we play other teams, but when its not releated to Chelsea, I dont care. I wont be affected in my country if Pool wins, because there are few Pool fans and whoever wins, the coverage will be about the same for any team. Idealy I dont want english team to win CL because we were the last to do it and it will ruin it. But Id much rather see us get back to the top than hope year after year Pool or United doesnt win it. 

I can however imagine you guys getting those yerk press tossed in the face all the time, never mind all Pool fans chat about it all year.

That said, we are not realy competitive this year with Pool. When we go toe to toe, trust me Ill be hoping for their downfall. 

P.S. no I dont have favourite team in my country, football is shite here and completely one sided. The only club I actualy support is Chelsea. Also Lithuania didnt belong to yugoslavia, but I know what you meant. Yugoslavia nations are always massive rivals, but whenever someone wins, there is nothing but big respect from everyone. When we won euros in 2017, croats, serbs etc all cheered for us. But during games, its always mad rivalry. 

Its how I view stuff. When we play rivals, I want them to die haha. But if they play well and not releated to us, I will applaud them. 

It doesnt make me a neutral or any less  Chelsea fan.

Sorry, when I meant neutral, I meant watching on TV etc. I am not saying that as a way of saying attending fans are 'somehow better', just that you learn to despise those teams through interaction with their 'fans'. Like I said Liverpool in the 70s were for instance known for holding people down and slashing their backs with Stanley knives. In the 80s in Europe they stormed en masse into designer Italian shops and stole thousands of clothes -that was how the Football casual look started. They murdered 39 Italian fans. They stole tickets out of the hands of children. They poured faeces and urine onto other fans heads. Arsenal and spurs I have seen their fans do appalling things. Yes Chelsea fans did bad things as well, I am aware of that.

What I am saying is that you would be very hard pressed to find any Chelsea fan that has experience of regularly attending matches to favour 'Pool' in any match or ever call them 'Pool' for that matter. 

[Laylabelle 9,534]

That's the problem. The coverage... Think if was more balanced to each team be okay but there's always that extra OTT if it's Liverpool or Man U. Maybe the bigger fan base who knows but it becomes a bit stupid. 

We win and there's a small hype but nothing quite like it.  Anything positive we do half the time gets somehow turned slightly negative. 

Then the annoying fan base lol.

I see, sorry about the missunderstanding. 

Yeah from that point I completely understand your pov.

Chelsea will never get the love and wankfest that the mancs and scousers get, thats the harsh reality, and of course it translates to refs against us, media, pundits, fucking FA, etc. Its a complete utter joke tbh, but fuck all of them

[Fulham Broadway 17,312]

So another angle shows Llorentes goal came off his arm. We need VAR to monitor VAR.
