He owns the press, he really does.

"We played basketball in training" "It was fun"

I wonder why according to all of these thick journo's it's a "crisis" and bring up the fact that it's Chelsea's worst start in years, but both United and City are level with us on points and neither of them are in crisis.

There always has to be one team "in crises" it's ridiculous. We're only 3 points out of first, hardly some insurmountable difference. That said, I understand why we are the club picked as the "in crises" one right now. We haven't had a good game all season. We haven't won a game since we beat Villa. We have 4 goals in 4 games and we lost an incredibly easy CL game whereas City and United won theirs handily. We win a couple of games in a row, the media focus will shift to another team.

Journos like crisis, they can throw all their vile taunts and headlines at one outlet, it doesn't even have to be a crisis but they make it one.....This country is just shit at journalism, and I actually feel sorry for people who pay to read what is spouted by these oxygen thieves.

You only have to see the interview by Gigi Salmon to Martin Lipton to see a journo squirm under proper scrutiny.....No leads, just sources or insiders.

Absolute stealing a fucking living.

Oh Lawrenson you fucking tit....

You wonder if one or two people are now starting to realise what a good job Rafa Benitez did at Stamford Bridge last season.

Chelsea have an excellent record in this derby, though, and I cannot see that changing this weekend. If Fulham do win, then some Chelsea fans might be crying for Benitez to come back.

Lawrenson is a joke, much like others as they conveniently forget that even Benitez himself had a dodgy start here before things improved for us and him. It's basically the same situation with Mourinho right now.

Have a read.

Just win this one ffs. I can somehow accept the fact that so far we barely look like championship contenders and our game is a bit off, we're only 4 matches in the season. However, matches like this one should be won, regardless of anything if we want to be in a good position to challenge for the title at some point.

3 points crucial

[zolayes 14,489]

really ?

at the time I was joking NOW I'm not sure

[bushman 2,043]

It´s great to see the boys playing basketball. I just hope, they will play football tomorrow, instead.

[IkE 267]

I just hope we will start playing with the same players for a few matches, defining our most competitive Starting XI is a must after these results.

If We played Like Jose speaks...

If any of you fancy a laugh just have a browse through this guy's tweets:

absolute comedy gold. I never thought Fulham fans could get slightly agitated? Anyway, complete bollocks, taking the piss out of our support when they can't sell out 3,000 tickets for a local derby and what is basically their cup final. Absolute tin pot shite. This is the same bunch, taking the piss out of us, who don't often take more than 1,000 to away games and have bollocks for home support. Honestly, I'd be embarrassed to be a home fan at Craven Cottage- they are the quietest home fans you will ever see.

We are going to win tomorrow with a good performance -- with whatever starting XI.

Different attitude can temporarily fix the lack of fluidity and is key when starting a new season.

i hope we atleast get a point.

with the manchester derby, tottenham playing away to cardiff, arsenal hosting stoke and liverpoo hosting southampton, atleast 3/4 of these teams will drop points.

At least a point?? Nothing other than a win is acceptable. Regardless of not winning our last 4 games, we are Chelsea and games like, only 3 points are acceptable.

i know, but by my statement u can understand my confidence in the team.

u know what, i simply cant see us score. i mean where are the goals going to come from? hazard is out of form, mata is out of favour, the striker force is (there is no word that is bad enough in the english vocabuary to describe our striker force). meanwhile cole keeps on starting games and performing abysmally. i expect taraabt to absolutely own him tomorrow, and add to it bent (i would start him if i was martin jol), i would say fulham will be more than a handful.

i dont expect a win tomorrow. but a draw would be fine with me.
