Outstanding show. Enjoyed the whole thing. Though the ending was a minor disappointment. Partially because I didn't want it to end lol.

Absolutely anything can be improved on. Especially our YouTube channel. There should be things like tunnel cam, more personal interviews so we can actually learn more about our players on a personal level. For instance, gym/training ground interviews. Also maybe have players discuss their personal hobbies such as music, collecting things etc. Just something to improve the predictable nature of the channel and give us more content.

There is also Glasgow Celtic who wear green and white hoops too. I guess its just one of those colours people don't like much, I have never liked green kits personally. Though I would sooner have green than that horrendous bright pink and orange that Bolton have worn. That was just bang out of order.

I think it would be best to restrict new members to a set number of posts and have them moderated before they appear until they've been here a few days. Trolls won't have the patience for it.

They conveniently forget this every time. This is one of the many reasons I hate Liverpool qualifying for Europe. They're a liability. Plus, who wants a bunch of smug, shell suit, mullet wearing chuckle brother lookalikes representing England in Europe? Not me. I disagree fella. In no other job can somebody be immune to open criticism. Why should referees be any different? I think referees should be publicly shamed if they've been blatantly biased in a match. Furthermore, police investigations and match/league fixing enquiries should be launched in cases such as the Sunderland match, where the league table is so profoundly affected in the closing weeks. The FA and its officials can complain all they want about bringing the game into disrepute, when its actually they themselves who are doing most of it. Already on it, also not forgetting their biggest one, Sky!!!

My point exactly. He's an arsehole, I would hate to see him in a Chelsea shirt.

He is a good player in my opinion. People will disagree, it happens .

Yeah, I would take Skrtel. I certainly wouldn't want to taint our team with Suarez and the three ring splash circus that comes with him.

True. I just hope it isn't true. We need someone with massive balls up front, and to me, Costa is exactly that.

What worries me is that Abramovic appears to be sticking his oar in to influence a stop to getting Costa and going for Cavani... He should butt out and leave it to Jose.

Glad somebody agrees. Its more of a headache than it is good.

Lol there are more reasons than the penalties. All I will say is that it involves numerous match officials. I will say no more. For a "big club" you've not brought home so much silverware. I'll leave it here in the interest of not wanting to spark another argument with a Liverpool fan.

Bugger me, a Liverpool fan who I kinda like on first impression. Since you asked politely. My two pence. Questions: So this is Jose's first season back in charge of the blues after two spells at Italy & Spain? How do you rate this season so far out of 10? What has most satisfied you and what has most disappointed you this season in terms of Chelsea's style of play?10 out of 10. He has organised the team well and has made some great tactical choices, most of all, the second leg against PSG. Only thing that's disappointed me is his getting into trouble with the FA. But he is a passionate coach, so I don't really blame him. We have had some absolute idiotic officials. Officials that I hope not to make it into next season. You are now competing on two fronts, the league and the CL, how do you think your run in the CL this season affected your league form, given that the losses against Villa, Palace and Sunderland came just before a CL tie?Simple really. This goes for all English teams in Europe this season. The FA have been awful in helping English sides with fixture pile ups. Leads to Jose having to experiment with squad rotation on the fly and this isn't exactly ideal. This is why there are so many Spanish teams left in Europe. Their governing body are very accommodating with their European representatives. After a physical affair of football against Atletico in the midweek, what kind of game do you expect this weekend?Bare bones. We have a lot of players in need of rest for the Atletico return leg, plus the added headache of injured key players and suspended players for next Wednesday and again, no assistance with changing the fixture around for breathing space, so I expect a B team to be fielded as we have absolutely no alternative. I predict a brutal match Sunday and I do not expect to be smiling afterwards. As an Egyptian who followed Salah closely before, and since you lot snapped him up before we did :D, I'm curious to know how good do you think he has been for Chelsea this season? Can you see him having a long term future at the club?I only knew of him from his double demolition job of us at Basel. So I wanted him to sign. He has been fantastic overall. Still a bit raw and in need of development but he has a great future ahead of him at Chelsea. What do you make of Liverpool's turnaround in fortunes this season?Not going to touch this one with a 12 foot barge pole Best and worst memories against Liverpool?Worst was in 96 when you demolished us 5 - 1 when Berger ran rampant on us and one of our players (Sinclair I think?) hit an own goal. Worst hammering I see us get for many years. Which player do you think will be the key for your team on Sunday?No idea. I have no idea who is or who isn't playing. Which Liverpool player are you worried about most on Sunday?Suarez and his penalty box theatrics. What do you reckon the score will be?Hate to guess. Not good if we field a weak team. If you could have one player from Liverpool, who would you take? Who you send the other way? :DSkrtel and you lot can have Torres back!!! Finally in your opinion who has been Chelsea's player of the season? and Chelsea's young player of the season?Eden Hazard on both counts. He has been ultra important to us this season. We suffer in creativity without him.

So, the fact that Suarez and Sturridge have won games with spectacular diving displays that wouldn't look out of place on the TV show "Splash" doesn't upset you then? In the interest of being honest, I will openly admit the fact that I absolutely detest Liverpool as a club. I always have and I always will. Its never sat right with me. But if you won it fair and square, I would happily swallow my pride and give congratulations. I would for City at this point if they won it, despite the fact that I cannot stand them either. But the fact is, you've had more than a few nudges toward it this season and if you win it this year, it has primarily been won on the penalty spot and that's where you should lift the trophy from, it would be very apt.

Yep, i can smell a dipper in our midsts. Its true though. Funny how Liverpool haven't been able to put a foot wrong according to the refs all season since Rodgers meeting with Riley.... Hmmmm.

He avoided a touchline ban though. Something that Jose is probably going to get for the remaining league matches. If Jose gets a touchline ban, it will definitely prove a lot. Furthermore, Rodgers got a meeting with Riley and this coincided with the sudden slew of Liverpool penalties. Jose was refused a face to face with Riley when he requested one to clear the air on issues. Probably because Riley knows we are right and wants to avoid answering tricky questions. The bloke lacks a spine or any semblance of common sense.

Forgot about the Aguero one. That was blatant. Fellaini has been ignored on several occasions this season. Identical to Rami against Sunderland. But because its United and most of the refs are from that area, no action taken. The Oxlade Chamberlain issue completely astounded me. Deliberate hand ball in the penalty area is a straight red going in or not. If it were a Chelsea player, I would not complain about a 3 game ban for such behaviour. Guarantee if that was a Chelsea player, the card would be retrospectively palmed off onto the guilty party and the ban would have stood. They certainly like to pick their battles.

It'll still be swept under the carpet, no matter who comments on it. I have had a fair number of emails exchanged with the FA over various issues. One thing I notice with them, they always use standard template responses that ignore/deflect highlighted issues and focus on their aim to provide a fair playing field. They talk so much bollocks it almost makes politicians look straight.

I'm past caring to be honest. The dippers whole season is tainted and everybody knows it, so there would be no real accomplishment or true pride if Liverpool win it. Why should we risk an already depleted pool of players in a league match that doesn't benefit us when we can just send out the B string and save our important players for an actual important match like Atletico. It would give us an edge on them because Atletico play an important league game Sunday, so a more rested Chelsea squad will up our chances on Wednesday. There is nothing to gain for us at Binfield but everything to play for on Wednesday at the Bridge.

I also hope we field a weak team at Binfield and just focus on the Champions League for the remainder of the season. f**k the league for the rest of the season. Its a tainted chalice this season. A season where the dippers are being given it by proxy, so we should put in the bare minimum to ensure of a third place position, piss off the geriatric FA winkers by winning Europe's most coveted trophy for the second time in 3 seasons and wear two stars over our crest on next seasons kits.

Because the FA are faultless. I find it absolutely farcical that they can read into his well thought comments and draw their conclusions without having to admit the validity of our claims. It makes their charges self contradictory and highlights their bias further. What annoys me is how that walking sack of sh*t Riley happily met with Rodgers, and funnily enough sat in their directors box and suddenly the refs are onside for Liverpool. Then Riley apologised to WBA for our VALID penalty decision when Ramires was taken down. Yet when one of Sunderland's players kung fu kicks Dave and clatters into Ramires so hard he goes flying, then another one of their players plays up on a simple slip giving them a costly penalty, surprise surprise, we get nothing but charges. We are now officially in the most sh*te league in the world because the title isn't decided on the pitch, its decided in directors boxes over romance stories.

Ain't it funny that when Liverpool next played a Manchester team after that, they got 3 penalties.

The FA are f**king pathetic and I have just sent them an email to express my feelings. As noted in my email to them, I have now cancelled my Sky Sports package and will not be supporting anything relating to the FA from now on. Will watch unofficial match streams online so they don't benefit. Not exactly profound or a big way of "getting back" at them, but at least I'm doing something. Maybe if enough people stopped using their sponsors, it'll send a message. I think its completely disgraceful how we're constantly singled out all the time. Its clear that somebody within the FA is dead set against Chelsea. Like many on here, I wouldn't mind the charges so much if they punished other teams equally, but they don't. Its clear they have their favourites. The fact that Riley was sitting in trhw directors box at Binfield just makes him look even more corrupt.

I don't believe it at all. For one, Jose knows how much he is appreciated here. He is talking in future tenses regarding players and competitions. Why would a manager do this if he had any inclination that he wouldn't be here? Jose is very close to securing his major striker signing in Diego Costa, so I think he and Roman are willing to give it a good shot next season.

Such a beautiful woman. I'll admit, I was mesmerised by her when she appeared on the pitch, haha.
