I've made that very point a couple of times. It's the same old story though - West Ham fans throw things at Chelsea players, who gets done? Why Chelsea of course. To borrow from the old Millwall anthem: We are Chelsea, we are Chelsea No-one likes us, we don't care f**k 'em all

Let's get this straight. f**k 'em all isn't just according to me, it's Chelsea tradition going all the way back to the '70s. Let me remind you: f**k 'em all f**k 'em all United, West Ham, Liverpool Cause we are the Chelsea And we are the best We are the Chelsea So f**k all the rest As for Ovrebo, I don't actually buy the conspiracy theory. Anti-Chelsea prejudice yes, but prejudice alone doesn't add to a conscious conspiracy. What there is, is a prevailing attitude that we are to be presumed guilty because of the numerous times we've been put up as examples of everything that's wrong with the game. Whether it's Drogba's diving, players surrounding the ref, similar and more extreme examples are repeatedly overlooked and quickly forgotten. Many Stoke fans actually believe they were cheated at the weekend because, according to them, our players were a disgrace, diving all over the place. Truth is, Stoke are a bunch of cloggers; the wonder to me was how long it took for, I think it was Delap, and some other Stoke player who's name escapes me, to wind up in the book, and yet they'll swear blind the referee gave us all the decisions. Similarly with the amount of first half injury time. There were two or three extended stoppages, fully justifying the addition of 8 minutes, and yet calls are heard from all quarters (yes that ginger twat was at it again) that the amount of injury time was a disgrace. No there's no conspiracy. They (and that's an extremely large collective "they") just don't like us. Some of it this is the club's own making, from Jose to Kenyon to the Ashley Cole episode, but a huge part of it is also down to the way the media choose to portray us as the bad guys wherever possible. Put this down to a bias towards the unholy red trinity, combined with large amounts of jealousy and you have a willingness to see the club, it's players, staff and supporters in the worst possible light in any given situation. What was I saying? Oh yeah. f**k 'em all.

bluemoon. Forget about the celebration - Arsenal fans are almost on a level with Scousers when it comes to self-delusion and self-righteous bloody bullsh*t. It does however, puzzle me that the media in general seem more interested in the celebration than the retaliation/stamp on Van Persie. Maybe in doing so the media would have to acknowledge just what a nasty little snide Van Persey really is. But Wenger's teams just aren't like that are they? Wengers teams play The Beautiful Game and they play it The Way It Should Be Played. Forget all that. Look at the incident with Van Persey. Ask yourself honestly how you would feel if the situation had been reversed, if for instance Adebayor was still playing for the Arse and had attempted to stamp on, say for instance Bellamy. Wouldn't you have been furious that he wasn't sent off? Look at the incident again. That was no attempt to regain his balance - that was a deliberate raising of the knee and stamping down of the foot. As I wrote earlier, I think Adebeyor tried to stamp on Van Persey's hand, but missed and caught the side of his face. Also not relevant - it was a deliberate attempt to injure Van Persey. And yes I know players kick lumps out of each other week-in week-out, but comparing Adebayor's actions in that particular incident to a common or garden foul, is like comparing an elbow deliberately smashed into an opponent's face with a push in the back In other words, it crosses the line.

The more I look at that, the more it looks as if he's trying to stamp on Van Persie's hand, but missed because of the speed at which Van Persie was sliding along the ground, and in the process catches him in the side of the face. The point remains that it was a deliberate attempt to cause injury to an opposing player, and as such is inexcusable. I won't argue that Rooney repeatedly gets away with murder. The idiot press along with optically challenged referees view Rooney as a "special case" - take away the aggression, the volatility, and you take away his game. They've been applying the same line of logic towards Scholes for years: "smashing player but he can't tackle!" Bollocks - he's a dirty little ginger headed Manc twat. None of this has any relevance to the Adeboyor attempted stamp. Rooney gets away with murder? Well it's high time he was treated the same way as any other player, as should Scholes have been all this time. Sadly in this country this is unlikely to ever happen - to hear some of these muppets, to criticise Rooney is tantamount to treason. Back to the point. Adeboyer's behaviour was nasty and deliberate and he deserves to have the book thrown at him.

I have no doubt that Adebayor should and will be punished for the attack on Van Persie, who in turn is undeniably an obnoxious little scumbag. However, this does not excuse Adebayor's behaviour. I would like to see Van Persie punished - was he even booked for the challenge? - but doubt somehow whether this will happen. Adebayor's celebration on the other hand. So what? Arse fans are without doubt up there with the most self-righteous bloody hypocrites in the country, with a tendency towards self-delusion almost on a par with Scousers. They had no right or reason to react to Adebayor''s celebration in the way they did. If this had been any other set of fans - Chelsea or Millwall certainly - there would have been calls from all sides for sanctions, possibly points deductions. But as it's the Arse, the f**kers will in all likelihood get off with a mild slap on the wrist, if that. And this little pearl is from a Scouse git calling himself LFC Brian: On the same forum I've seen comments, I think it was from their Michael Shields thread, that this site is among the most anti-LFC going, bar none except the more extreme Manc sites. According to them this makes us among the most "ignorant" As I was saying about self-delusion.

Wrong question. Which one is worse: 1) Drogba swearing at a TV camera in the heat of the moment after being robbed of a place in the Champions League final by one of the most inept refereeing performances of all time. 2) Adebayor deliberately and cold-bloodedly stamping on Van Persie's face, an act that in any other walk of like would be a criminal offence, ABH at the very least.

Some silly tart from Stoke phoning Talksh*te now. She's not happy with the ref - all that extra time only helped us,and then of course according to her Chelsea players dived every time a valiant Stoke player went anywhere near them. If ever there was a reason for leaving them at home to clean the house and cook the dinner ...

From the Match Streaming Forum: I kid you now, this is what happened. With the score still showing 1-1 as the broadcast switched from the live match to highlights, including Stoke Players jumping all over the place celebrating their goal. And the next thing you know, all I could see and here was a feature on Carlton Cole, which I at first thought to be a West Ham game, but no not even that. There's method in my madness after all!

I'm not as convinced as you that FIFA would be forced to adhere to any rules, especially their own, and even more especially when it comes to Chelsea. Last week the Blatter man was twatting on about introducing points deductions as penalties for all manner of offences, even those involving unrelated competitions. Allegedly break a contract to sign a player for the youth team squad? Dock 'em Premier League points. Have a go at a Champions League referee - even if the having a go in question is limited to some silly schoolgirl on a forum somewhere typing up nasties that can and will be interpreted as Death Threats, use these to propogate the myth that Chelsea fans habitually dish out Death Threats - unlike Scousers, who's threats of extreme physical violence made in person via mobile phone number to Admins on Chelsea sites can of course be dismissed as jolly japes - dock 'em Premier League points, it's the only thing that'll hurt 'em doncha know. And I shall never, ever forgive that prize c**t among prize c**ts RedRobBrainRot for persuading me to pay my first visit to a Scouse forum.

The point is that the're our players. Correct me if I'm mistaken about this, but normally there's a clause allowing us to terminate the loan period if necessary, whether as a result of an injury crisis or whatever. What FIFA seem to be saying now is that no you can't have your own players back early whatever the circumstances.

The Scousers well and truly put Burnley in their place. Whisper it .. Come on Man U

Scroll up. What did I ever do to upset Rumania, that's what I want to know!

My stream switched to West f**king Ham, I thought the match had finished 1-1! Like I said, all I can see is West Ham, well Carlton Cole actually - these damn foreigners!

First points dropped, and undoubtedly two points thrown away. In the first half I thought we looked a little off the pace at times, perhaps as a result of the international "break". Stoke's players could be expected to be all over them. However, in the second half, we truly were all over them, epecially when Essien came on. We had a ridiculous amount of possession, Stoke rarely made it out of their half, we had plenty of chances and half chances but nothing to show for it. Ah well. We didn't expect it to be easy. Shame about their goal, another little catalogue of errors.

Anelka on for Kalou, Essien on for Ballack

Drogba equaliser !!!!!!!!!!!!!

1-0 Stoke

FSC was working brilliantly for me, then 9 minutes into the game: f**king twats

And now: Now this really is unprecedented. Further to the extreme penalty imposed for allegedly breaching the contract of a youth team player, FIFA now say we can't recall players already on our books. What the f**k is it to do with them anyway? If we loan a player to another club till the end of the season, that agreement is between ourselves and that club, and as far as I know, terms of that loan include our right to recall the player as and when we see fit.

Hopefully it's just a rumour. Search "Zhirkov Injury" and you'll find a whole load of Zhirkov dismisses knee surgery fears type stories. This one from VitalFootball, also states that Zhirkov is targeting the T*tt*nh*m game for his League debut:

I've been saying for a while that people are too ready to blame Arnesen, to the extent that he's now being lumped together with Kenyon as the Enemy Within. Fact is, most of us don't really know what he does, never mind how successful he has or hasn't been since he came from you know where. This is something he has in common with Kenyon in that their respective previous clubs make them both easy to have a go at, in Kenyon's case - even easier to have a go at.

In a nutshell: f**k 'em all.

EMI have been shamelessly milking the Beatles back catalogue for years, decades even. The original albums, even the circa 30 minutes Please Please Me were still being sold at full price when average CD prices were falling. Not to mention the numerous compilations, rereleases, repackaging, box sets and so on. This latest batch of releases is just another marketing ploy. Nothing more, nothing less.
