What pubs are people going to before the game?

I have to say it's very, very difficult to argue with any of this.

All clubs do this. Also, the fines usually go back to the players at the end of the year via a holiday, presents for the families, etc etc.

This. Absolutely. I'm going to enjoy the season, no matter what. But the difference on this forum after a win, compared with after a defeat is crazy. If we went on a run of 3 or 4 defeats, the internet fans will be calling for change.

Just because you seem so unhappy. If not a new team, then at least a hug. P.S. I'm English, living in England. Cheers

Just a thought... If the club 'never' fails to disappoint you. Aren't you better going elsewhere and supporting someone else? Sure Spurs would have you.

The new white kit won't be for everyone, but I like it. Actually going to buy it, which is the first time in a long time.

Many of our fans did nothing but slag Sarri off. He then does what they want and leaves, and they expect him to show respect? I think Sarri is the type of person that would show respect to the fans if it was afforded to him in the first place. If it was me, my first press conference would have been "I got 3rd, won the Europa League and made the League Cup final with an average squad. But the spoilt Chelsea fans didn't think it was enough so I decided to leave." Don't expect anything positive from a manager that 'we' have abused all season long.

It seems strange that we employ experienced business people or ex-pros to carry out roles at Chelsea. Reading this forum it seems half of the people here could get a deal done far quicker and much more successfully. As for people moaning about Chelsea being the only team to 'do things wrong' or 'drag their heels' - That's only because you only follow Chelsea. Every team has fans that moan about the way they do things. The big difference at Chelsea is that we actually win things. A lot. Calm down and wait for it to happen.

Every thread I go on, you seem to be moaning. Are you ok?

Great ending for Eden. Absolutely gutted we can't keep him. But he didn't grow up a Chelsea boy, so he's shown plenty of loyalty towards us as far as I'm concerned. He wants to play for Madrid and it wouldn't be fair for anyone to stop that from happening. I think we'll truly realise how special he is in the next couple of years because I think he could be exactly what Madrid need. As for Chelsea, it'll be tough in the short term losing him, but could be helpful in the mid to long term as it means we need to build, grow and nurture other players to hopefully fill his boots, and then some. I've never liked us relying too much on one player, but next year we may not have anyone to rely on at all. Time to rebuild... We go again.

This post has made me smile. I've seen so much on social media, whether on Twitter or on here, with fans who don't seem to care if we win or not and many doubting our chances compared to the other lot. It's good to see that some fans still remember how lucky we are to be in a final, any final, especially against Arsenal. Can we just get back to enjoying football, please? Well done erskblue.

If we can't sign players, I'd really like to see us put Tammy up front for the start of the season and tell him he's our first choice striker. If of course after a run of 6-7 games he hasn't performed, then it's fair that he is dropped and we go down a different route. What I don't want to see us 5-10 minutes here and there, as that basically shows you nothing. Ditto with Michy.

The reaction was a little bit cringe, but it's not the end of the World. I'm sure he acts like that week in, week out in training - It's just that we don't normally see it! The players have never seemed to talk negatively of Sarri so whatever his methods are, seem to be working. We finished 3rd, got to the league cup final and lost to the best team in the World, and we may well win the Europa League tonight. If he does that with our squad, his methods have worked. Simple. Still not convinced he should be in charge next season.....

Difficult to argue with most of the selections in this thread. I'd like to throw Steve Sidwell in there for good measure.
