You're on. What size puffa jacket do you need? And are you allowed into the country these days?

Apparently, it's me. Letter of confirmation arrived today, along with a pair of comfortable jogging trousers, a clipboard and a megastore-sourced snood.

So, a new f**kwit troll turns up[ - must be close to a record. You're talking about a f**kwit troll who, to be fair, has a load of stamina, being a spud or a pikey and staying in a Chelsea forum for so long without contributing anything sensible at all, ever. There are a whole load of f**kwits in this world, we just seem to attract most of them.

Sky Sports, mind. Usually random web-nerds making stuff up and posting it so the slow of thought click, watch and believe. No-one at Sky knows what was discussed or what was or was not acceptable as a season's finish.

But that wouldn't have fit the narrative that a lot of these people want to promulgate. And there you go - hysterical exaggeration. Wasn't even the best transfer window last year. But it's no surprise new Chelsea "fans" come crawling out of the woodwork, and some old Chelsea "fans" feel the need to start posting again when we are having difficulties. They all say "Frank is my favourite, BUT.........." We all know what that is very similar to.

Me - regardless of who the manager is (except for the fat spanish twat) at the halfway point of the season, having only lost 6 matches all season, 5 points behind Liverpool in fourth, still in the Champions League and with a promising FA Cup schedule, I can see no reason at all to pander to the media, twatter idiots or, frankly, a whole load of glory hunters. So no, it isn't Lampard specifically, it's the process and the short-sightedness. And I also notice that we have a large number of brand new members, the majority of whom have signed up in the last couple of days being quite vociferously anti-Lampard, and also a whole load of longer-serving members who haven't posted for ages when we were winning, but have crawled out of the woodwork now we are in a bit of a slump to slate the manager and crow about him getting sacked. w**kers, all of them. I have a respect for a lot of our forum members who have been consistent in their view that Frank was not the right man for the job, or was struggling but I detest these buggers who either have signed up to be snide c**ts or have come back now we have a problem to be the same. You know who you are.

Been banned so many time - just some 12-year old w**ker.

This f**king troll back again? @coco, do your stuff mate.

For a change?

No, you're glory hunting because you jump on a mid-season slump and being 5 points off of a top four position as "going down the toilet". You, and the f**king board, need to get a grip. true, but it's hardly Frank's fault that Kepa can't, Werner has turned to pish unable to even know where the goal is, Havertz is this year's Bakayoko, Jorginho turns out to be slower than the last ice age and Alonso, who nearly everyone wanted dropped has thrown a hissy-fit. . Only Kova is/was being treated a bit harshly, but even then a lot in here didn't want him playing.

See that's the sort of glory-hunting nonsense that is at the root of all this. 5 points off top 4 and only 6 matches lost in the league all season and people like you see that as "going down the toilet". Self-entitled spoilt brat doesn't even come close,,

Massive gulf between the true fans and the bitch-whining toxic trolls on twatter and in here who displayed no loyalty, no integrity and no character, with their disgusting knee-jerk self-entitlement and their playstation football knowledge. Those people, and you know who you are, disgust me and all true Chelsea fans,

And we are only having a slump at the moment, what is to say that we won't soon pick up again now?

Boy. I doubt it was much over 14 years old. I'm in agreement with a lot of that. As for the boldened part, no-one lacks credibility just because they are new. A lot of new posters have hugely valuable input. The ones that lack credibility are the ones who just post pish. And that applies to some very long-standing members as well. Welcome in from the dark areas of lurkage. See, that's just cherry-picking, take the last month because it suits your narrative, not any other random month when the performances were much better.

I am not a "dude", I have tried to make allowances for you being new, posting in a second language and not being very bright, but there is no vaccine for stupid, and no allowances to be made for someone being a prick. Another on the long, oh, so long ignore list.

I understand English is not your first language so I'm not going to get into an argument with you. What does either of your posts to me have to do with us being 5 points away from 4th place, which is what I said? Nothing.

That doesn't actually mean anything, it's just random words and doesn't address my point

We're 5 points off of top 4.

Really? won nothing in England other than a Championship play-off final, and (thank you wikipedia) was " the first Liverpool manager since the 1950s not to win a trophy after three seasons in charge". Lost the league from 5 points clear with 3 to play ( huge thanks to Demba). Managed to be a flat-track bully by going to Celtic the only team in the league at that time. I don't really consider that to be the record of "successful stints" or that of a top manager.

Dicky, you are arguing with a FIFA2020/XBox troll who knows everything there is to know because he read it on an internet. Flogging a dead horse mate. There you go Coco - I corrected your typo. You're welcome. (Oh, and my friends, notice the your and you're. That is how each is used. You're all welcome)

Don't be silly. I really dislike people who exaggerate for effect, particularly when what they say is bollocks anyway. Liverpool have had no more injuries than anyone else, the whole point is that they are 14 points and several league places worse off than last year so that is the entire contect. £200 million in players is only of any benefit if those players have the basic skill of a footballer and could actually hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Neither of which our most expensive purchases appear to be capable of doing.

Where are all the condemnations of footballers totally ignoring the rules about goal celebrations and close contact from our wonderful pundits and print media? A tiny bit of a row sparked off in the news when the lower league clubs appeared on the telly in the FA Cup, and then nothing. I only saw the goals from the matches last night, but the celebrations in both matches ignored the rule not to hug, embrace or even shake hands. Guardiola even kissed one of his players. I think it should be a yellow card offence, and if that means a second yellow, off you go. It would soon stop it. It's not that I care about whether healthy young men catch and spread the disease between themselves (though some would have you believe the reason Havertz seems to be unable to trap a football is because he had exactly that) but what it does do is send a message to all the f**kwits watching that it is OK to ignore the regulations and just mingle in anyway that they want to. OK, today's rant over.

Of course I don't mind. I wasn't convinced by Michy, that's true and I still wait to be shown anything De Bruyne did in a blue shirt to warrant him getting a place over seasoned and very good internationals at the time. My view was always that he didn't have the patience or the bottle to fight for a place and was basically pants when he got a chance, so he took the easy option - to our detriment, as it turned out, but anyone who says that he deserved a first team place with us is distorting the historical facts. My opinion on Havertz was and is only a response to some googling twat who started with "Havertz is the best player in the squad and the whole team and tactics should be built around him" to which I said that nothing he had done in a Blue shirt indicated that or anything other than he was being played because of his price tag, and that he showed very little of the basic required skills of a footballer at any level. The same idiot then kept posting stats, graphs and youtube videos of the player in his previous club in a different league playing in a different style, but which still didn't manage to show him trapping the ball, passing to a team mate or not losing the ball in dangerous areas costing us goals. It may well be that he is a very good player, but wittering on about him being a "generational talent" (ie Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho level) is just stupidity based on what he's done in Blue. Lamps should be given support and patience because we are only in a dip in form, we have only lost 6 matches this season, are only 11 points off the top which is better than the same stage last year, so yes, demands for his immediate sacking at this stage are short-sighted and, to my mind, a bit of knee-jerk glory-hunting.

We truly are living in weird times, mate. Anyway, welcome to the path or truth and light 🙂

Cheers. The phrase "glory hunting" comes to mind. That and the way that the want it all generation have taken to social meeja. Can you tell me exactly what success Rodgers has had? Premier League, FA Cup or League Cup, Champions League, Thursday night cup? Anything? (and try not to make yourself look too silly) Only the bad performances can be blamed on the manager ,mate, don't you realise that? Someone else has listed the matches, scores and performances. My point was we STILL have only lost 6 matches, and that includes City, Liverpool, Leicester and Arsenal at Christmas and that anyone demanding managerial sackings half way through the season based on that is showing an embarrassing spoilt bratness. (If that is indeed a word. If not, it should be.) It's also comical that so many experts in here know exactly what the board agreed with Frank as to his 3-year goals and also know exactly what needs to be done to rectify the horrendous situation where we are a full 9 points off of the top spot. As @dkw pointed out, Liverpool are 14 points worse off and several league places lower than this time last year. Why isn't there a clamour for Klopp to be sacked and replaced by a new, shiny manager who has been sacked by another team with feckless supporters.
