4-2 Chelsea

Yes mate, I think we were all happy with a point, weren't to know United were going to fall apart later on.

Left at Fulham Broadway., there's a burger stand that lays back from the road, on the left under an arch...does hot salt beef as well.

Incidentley, just seen that the Bradford fire game attendance was 7,000......and the game for Ron Harris in '71 was about 16,000.......doesn't seem like much affinity between the fans if those figures are correct, esp. knowing the numbers that Rangers are supposed to bring.

didn't we just, they were there for the taking, we were set up for a point.

yeah,you could be right.. But I think we went there hoping not to get beat, and played accordingly. barca and Spain play without the old target man, perhaps we should rethink the role of the centre forward ?...Let's try it in our domestic cup games.

Well, I've been supporting Chelsea for over 40 years. The Rangers thing was one I steered clear of because of the C18 and sectarian sh*te that went with it. The blues brother thing with the bigots across the sea is laughable...So, if we get Rangers in the champions league in future, are these Chelsea/rangers fans going to cheer each other on ? The idea of having a second team in another country, in another league, with no links to us is nonsense. By all means, if you feel the need to align yourself to them, then carry on, but it shouldn't be on a Chelsea site. BTW, I looked at several Rangers fan sites and don't see anything devoted to us, but did see some posts mocking this so called allegiance.

We should forget about playing a traditional centre forward. Just play with an additional attacking midfielder

Jose is beginning to look and soundsound like just before he left last time. Baffled, tired and disinterested

I think our forward line are at it, there should be an investigation

you know Graham, when I was young ( long time ago), it was considered impolite to call themblack, you had to say 'coloured', now it's the other way round.

Here's a novel idea. What about using our very expensive academy to produce some players, maybe even some who can score goals ?

I think we should have those little Flags on our socks like Leeds use to have, really classy

Cheers carblue

put em on here then mate.

i feel the same about the league cup tie as well

I think you need a bit of variety. Sometimes its tortureous watching us trying to thread the ball through packed defences.

Jose said before the season started that he was happy with our squad and only wanted to add Rooney, so you have to think that what we have is what he wanted. He might have changed his mind having seen them play now, but I trust in Jose above any other manager to get it right. Bit of patience

well if Jose can't instill the right mentality in them, I don't know who can. Jose is looking baffled in interviews now, what's going on ?

Well, where was the wizard yesterday ?

Another simple win ?...that'll be the day.

BTW, where was the Hazard of Wednesday night ?

With a half decent striker the game should have been over by half time, Stoke demoralised and we could have stroked the ball around. While we are unable to kill the game off, the opposition are always going to be up for it . Worryingly, Jose has said he doesn't know how he can get our forwards scoring. I'm hoping that means an overhaul of the forward line.

it's Torres fault that we concede so much.
