Great post.

Of course he's entitled to go where he wants but then don't expect the same reception as if he had joined PSG or another team though he will get a fairly good reception. It's a terrible decision to let him go to Arsenal. Still can't believe it!

He could have gone elsewhere and would have got our blessing. Us switching jobs is a lot different to footballers who are financially made for life! I would give Cech applause but not whilst he's playing for Arsenal! Never!

I doubt it. If it did he wouldn't go to Arsenal!

He's gone to our direct rivals. A team we all dislike.

Most people haven't defended him. He went over the top yes. The thing is if I went in a pub and hassled someone for drugs and then told him to f off, I couldn't complain if I got a slap. The person he hit wasn't exactly blameless.

Whilst I really appreciate what Cech has done for our club I can't help feeling like he's kicked us in the teeth. Didn't the last 11 years mean anything to him? Did us fans mean anything to him? Going to our direct rivals? When he plays against us I won't boo him but I can't bring myself to clap him either.

He's guilty and unfortunately can't complain about the sentence but as someone said if he had Gerrard's brief he would have got away with it! But also let's not pretend that the person he attacked wasn't exactly blameless, asking him for drugs and tell g him to f off!

There were a few banners at the ground and was the main talking point. Shame about the game and the referee!

Thanks for all comments. I may have been hasty and appreciate and agree that using a swear word in the song I suggested may not have been the smartest idea. It was my anger boiling over. We have come along way since the dark days of the 80's and we now have very diverse supporters. It really angers me when idiots like Ian Wright says "what have Chelsea done apart from up a few signs?". And then stupid gooner fans quote his words. They were soon put in their place! You only have to look at the work Paul Canoville has done alongside the club and check his Facebook page and see the support he has from Chelsea fans. I'm looking forward to the game today and I'm sure there will be banners condemning racism and a few songs. Come on the Chels!

Good idea for the club to print out some banners and hold a minutes applause and by all means invite the French guy to a game but definitely not parade him.

One swear is hardly going over the top is it? We don't even have to use a swear word it can be easily replaced.

Hope so too mate.

Fair point mate.

No need to insult. As I said everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have mine and you have yours. Have I insulted you? Grow up.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I disagree with you totally. Let's not brush it under the carpet and hope it'll go away. Let's show everyone what we think of these people.

Why not?

After being in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. There's been a lot of bad publicity for this great club of ours so let's make a statement. The world will be watching us so lets stand up for our Black players and show them we are not like them racists who tarnished our club. Hopefully there'll be some banners but let's also sing our hearts out and let them racists know they're not welcome at the Bridge. Here's a song we could sing, "You ******* racists you're not wanted here" to the same tune as the Rafa Benitez song.
