Narrow minded people will tell you, youre not a true Chelsea fan unless you were supporting the club before Romans money, if you support the club only because its won trophies ect in the last 7 years then youre a glory supporter plain and simple. If you love the club, have passion for it through thick and thin and can honestly say if Chelsea were to become and mid table club and maybe go even further below that and youd still feel the same, then youre a true blue. Honestly I grew up a Liverpool supporter as an impressionable kid as thats what all the cool kids were doing, as I grew older I just could not believe the amount of dillusion and victimist attitude the other fans Id come accross had. How can you support a club when you dont even like it? or your fellow supporters? Never went to a game up there, never actually wanted to either. Then as time passed in a slow process I just found myself drifting towards Chelsea, I couldnt even tell you the last Liverpool result, only really cared about Chelsea so I went to Stamford Bridge, did a stadium tour and I was just overwhelmed the feelings I had for the club, how much I loved the place, how much I wanted to come back. Roll on Stoke at home last year and I went to my first game and havent looked back since all the way to last week at Reading and to tomorrow where I shall be at the Bridge. Anyway I honestly know in my heart 1000% I would rather be in the Championship supporting Chelsea than be winning the League with any other club. To make a long story longer anyway....

Fact....

Does anyone have the actual quote of what was said?

And as you said, he couldnt be blamed for it. Id bet good money hed still get an ovation at the Bridge, he wants to stay, its not like hes trying to find a way out of the club.

Completely agree, he ultimately lost his job because he refused to play a player he didnt rate and didnt deserve a place in the team. It would be the complete reverse with a player being played because he deserves to play and seemingly isnt a Roman golden boy. Jose is a results man, Roman seems more focused on getting an 'attractive' style of football being played, which is what makes FSWs appointment even more bewildering as he brings neither.

The irony of this, I think it is going to take a much much worse record to get rid of him. Imagine the reaction if he was sacked tomorrow, the board will look like idiots (not that they dont already and havent been doing that since Anchelottis sacking) so they will stubbornly stick with this "tactical genius" until further notice.

Can we still get FSW sacked for the conceded goal?

Personally I'd place Oscar/Hazard/Mata all ahead of him leaving no where in my first team for him, I dont personally believe he has enough impact on games to warrant a first team place. He has qualties sure, but nothing that those three dont have and more.

I cannot emphasis this enough, train stations are literally minutes walk away from the Bridge, the cost of petrol/parking ect will be around about double of a train. Not to mention the actual effort of driving being removed.

Sounds about right for The Sun to be fair. The Sun hate practically every club not named Manchester United.

You didnt watch? esh, I could never do that I was in my friends flat with a group of 6-7 of us, me the only Chelsea fan and a Spurs fan in the room about to watch his team get thrown out of the Champions League

Not only does he deserve a new contract but a bloody good apology to go with it. Sadly I am not believing this until I see something concrete, the only way for the media to keep this story fresh is to add a twist, 'Lamps on the way out' is a very old headline and without any actual evidence to support the story a large part of me fears this is just press BS. The club havent changed their position, they havent commented on it yet so why would they now, its cleverly written in the piece though to make it sound like its new. Hope I am wrong though...very very very much so.

Good squad player, isnt going to light up the world but definately a great addition to the squad, its nice to have the option of an out and out winger, Hazard/Mata/Oscar like to pull inside alot, when thats not working hes a great option to throw on to get some crosses in. I have seen a few occasions where he has gotten around the back of a defence and instead of looking for a cut back ect. he makes a stupid attempt on goal, I dont believe him to be selfish I think he looks at Mata/Oscar/Hazard and thinks he needs to get goals to move into the first team.

Of all the things wrong with our defence recently despite having a 'tactical genius' I'd have no problem arguing Cahill is our best CB behind JT, it is the inviting of pressure and general defensive tactics that are leading to these goals were conceding.

I'm hoping we'll run riot similar to the Villa game...not just because I am going to this one but I am feeling a 2-1. Us to go 2 up, drop a goal and just about hang on.
