CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The atmosphere for the big games is excellent, it's one of the best in the world imo. You REALLY need to watch other leagues, mate! Those are Hilal fans literally climbing up the side of the stadium to watch a sold-out match today in KSA. And let's not even mention Turkey, Germany, South America...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 in all seriousness though that game had all the makings for a loud atmosphere - London derby against a big team, tackles flying all over the place, and Wenger shoving Jose - yet it was pretty subdued for most parts.Honestly, I don't remember it being bad at all in that game.I watch quite a few Liverpool games as they're always on TV for some reason and the vast majority of their games are just as bad if not worse than ours. And this is the club that supposedly has the best fans/atmosphere in the country. This is a football issue and not specific to just Chelsea but we will be hammered for the next few days in the press for it.Football has changed a lot, you're not going to get people singing for entire games. Our home fans almost always do well in the big games and the away fans are simply brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 What does it solve, coming out and making a remark like that in the press - especially one in such harsh terms? It's not like now he's said it the Korean/Japanese or whoever tourists will start belting out the classics from the terraces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafc9010 224 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Maybe we need to give out books to fans watching the game with lyrics to chants in them, or give them more flags or something to make noise with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big game atmosphere at the Bridge is very good.Oh, and I think the Germans fans are mechanical and there is very little spontaneity with them. Their atmospheres are too manufactured and I'd hate for Stamford Bridge to be like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even their announcer tries to be like their German counterpart by only saying the players first name after a goal (and waiting for the crowd to shout the surname).

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The Premier League stadium's have a bad atmosphere in general. As much as I don't like them, Palace are the only team with excellent home support in England. There are lots of reasons, main one being the ticket prices. I wish one day the PL would have the same atmosphere as Bundesliga. They are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King11Didier 916 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Fans are that who make this game so special. I really love games with amazing atmosphere at the stadium. You can feel the passion through the fans, like Chelsea away games. At home games you can hear only chants if we lead,Costa has scored a goal or Willian with the ball. I really like the ne chat "We're top of the league", but the atmosphere at the Bridge is AWFUL. I can't even imagine how away fans can sing louder than the home fans,that's maybe because I'm from the Balkans and here you can't hear away fans singing in a game. The atmosphere in England is really bad and that's the only think I don't like in the British football. In every other country the atmosphere is better.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 From what I'm reading by those that were actually at the game, (and from what I heard when watching) it was a standard EPL atmosphere. I don't understand what Jose is moaning about. Sometimes it's best to shut up and revel in the progress the team has made thus far this season instead of making asinine comments to the media.

Term-X 7,891 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The "sit down Mourinho" chants were scarily clear.. that kinda stuff should be easy for home fans to drown out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Regardless of if he's right, why shame your own fans like that when you obviously know that it's more a systemic problem than just a simple matter of "the home support is shit"? If the atmosphere bothers him so much to the point that it's so torturous for the team to play at home then there's a whole lot he and the club can do about it. Don't dump all the blame on the fans. His comments were borderline disrespectful. The away fans are generally fantastic and I've never heard him sing them any praises. Nail. Head.

lucio 5,418 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 need to use more chants.singing mourinhos name is now just annoying.and whenever we sing about "top of the league" we inevitability concede a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a season ticket holder in the Shed upper it was pretty standard but the QPR fans to be fair to them were very vocal which made us seem good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The ticket price argument and standing could both be counteracted by saying everyone in MHL stands anyway and there are cheap tickets for home cup games and the atmosphere is still turd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
