There's a first time for everything but I'm inclined to remain sceptical.

We can dress it up like that but the reality was we were crap in 2012 and got all the lucky breaks when we needed them. Our 2009 side would suit that description more but ofcourse, history only remembers the winners.

Not many clubs in world football I detest more than Barca.
Unbeaten against them in 7 and it took the most corrupt official ever for them to knock us out 10 years ago (and that was a draw)
Barcelona are tactically very impressive this season, they haven't scored many CL goals but they've defended brilliantly.
1-1.

Just a few things to address while all of our fans are in complete meltdown, we all know that in recent years we work on a sell to buy basis, thats just how it is and will remain so we will go through periods of indfferent results. 
The comments by one of the users about Willian is absolutely disgusting and someone defending him saying his words were taken out of context are bizarre and so naive it borders on racism itself. With regards to this season we have had a few poor performances and results which has been very disappointing, in the majority of the games we have actually performed quite well in my opinion. Burnley at the start of the season killed us with the early red card and they are a hardworking half decent team. I think this laid the seeds for David Luiz's dropping, he let emotions get the better of him that day and if Christensen had played that day we might have won. Palace and West Ham were poor, early goal killed us yesterday giving West Ham something to protect, I dont rate Moyes as a manager but some of his best results have come from Parking the Bus so he is able to do that, I remember his best game as United manager was similar against Bayern. 
Also, people saying that they will not continue to follow this season as the league is gone, you are an embarassment to the club and I have no respect for taking that line, go off and support Man United in that case like all the other sheep out there. 
The dust has settled this morning and I hope some people get a grip. Calling for Conte's head is absolutely crazy and I know it is only a small minority, I was quite baffled in midweek playing a full strength team and I think that went against us and I did not agree with it at the time as we could get any of the big boys anyway, finishing second anyway just rubbed salt into the wounds but he is a fantastic manager, takes no crap and players are still playing for him. I dont get peoples obsession with Carlo, yes I loved him but that second season we were absolutely awful, that last game against Everton was so bad it was unreal. I thought players may take exception with Costa and Luiz situation but they havent , they are still trying hard, yesterday was just one of those days. 
Mark my words, we can get back into this title race, its unlikely but it is possible, We have some nice fixtures over Christmas which are all winnable so we need a good Christmas period. 
People need to relax a bit, calling a team overpaid mercenaries every time we lose a game is a joke, you do not win a premier league title without having bottle so have a bit of respect for these players, I'm hurting more than most after yesterday but get behind the team and Up the Chels!
Just a note 5 of Contes 9 losses have been against London rivals, it just shows you we have it harder than most, playing away at Palace and West Ham is harder for us than most, its not acceptable both performances against them but WH played for their lives yesterday, they are a joke of a club who treat this as an FA Cup Final, we are bigger than them and always will be so f**k them, they are are joke of club with sh*t fans so f**k them, we move on to bigger and better things while they fight relegation, lets all hope they go down.

I agree in a sense that we seem to be only able to play in one way. To be fair to Antonio he made the subs early, it didn't work, sh*t happens, we move on. He made similar changes against Liverpool which worked brilliantly and he was given credit for this, maybe yesterday though wasnt the day to change it in this way. West Ham sucked the life out of us yesterday, it does happen when you are getting nowhere, it can deflate a team which sucks confidence making a team look like never getting a goal. It is so frustrating to watch and frustrating as fans, I just hope we can regain some confidence soon starting on Tuesday, Come on the Chels!

crikey....guess what, it was a derby, they got the early goal & were smart & disciplined in protecting their lead in conditions to suit. We're a bit thin squad wise - have been for some years & we'd played mid-week. This 'crap' side & 'poor' opposition perspective...I mean really. They're in the EPL, there's no love lost between us & under Moyes they're now having a go - look at their effort against City the other week - not too shabby. Get some perspective for f**k sakes.

Wow, that is extremely harsh imo. Dave seems like one of the most modest guys I've seen play football, maybe he is struggling with the added responsibility and thinks that he has to be more proactive which could be affecting his game. But to suggest he is being a pre-madonna is crazy. The guy has had about 4 bad games in 4 years and is still our most consistent player the last 5 years.

lmao don't you guys think you all being a bit overreacting toward a criticism? "disgraceful"? really? i was giving an honest judgment toward his performance. judging by your comments one would think i was out there to murder him. a bit closed minded don't you think?

Benzema only plays because he is happy to play Bridesmaid to Ronaldo, if Ronaldo was not there I guarantee you Morata would be starting for them

I know you like him mate but he ain't ever playing for us again.

Bit much calling Torres a clown.
he didn't live up to the fee but he did always represent us well.

Easy to say now I know, but I always wanted Morata way ahead of Lukaku. I know Lukaku is premiership proven, but he was a big fish in a small pond then.

And £50k a week...

Honestly, i kept a close eye on him when i went to The Bridge for the Brentford game and his body language was reminiscent to mine as a kid when i had no choice but to go Ikea with my mum. It's a shame because he has/had potential, but hasn't come close to demonstrating it.

Personally from what I have seen from him, he is not good enough, yes he pops up with the few goals here and there(in youth football) but its all too fancy Dan from him. He doesnt seem to have any grit in midfield which unfortunately you need at premier league level. 
I would love to see it work out for him but not quite sure of his attitude either. He should be demanding a loan move to a premier league club where he is going to get minutes. I'm disappointed we bowed to his demands of 50-60k a week(not sure if this is completely accurate) I hope so much that I am wrong about him but he just strikes me as a typical English youth player who had it too good too quick. I'm more disappointed with the loss of Ake as I think although he is not that young I think he has potential to be a great player. I can only hope we have a buy back on him and I presume we do. 
Really getting frustrated with the youth teams doing so well and not making the grade with the first team, some of these players need to show that they would kill someone to get in that first team. Unfortunately, it seems that they have too much too soon and are happy to play a bit part and collect their wages at the end of the week. 

You have a good point, but your post would have have more credibility if you managed to get through it without calling people morons. Bit ironic given the point you are making. 
But you are right never the less. 
Anyway, apologies for stinking the thread out. 
I had taken a break from this forum because I felt it was less and les a platform where I could interact with like minded people. I was hoping a bit of time away my change my view, but unfortunately the last day has reminded me why I stopped coming on here. 
As you were...

social media in relation to chelsea is cancer even during the best times, right now it's a lot worse than normal though

Trouble is, Dicky, the forum has become infested with the ADHD, I want it all and I want it NOW, twittergram sort of f**kwits with the attention-span of a fart, the intelligence of a kardashian and the patience of a paparrazzo, who don't understand the concept of respect, and who also infest the world of "social media".  Best we can do is ignore the f**ks, mate.
