I've been hearing rumours that in the return leg at the Bridge that Celtic's support is going to be a lot different then you would normally see at a women's match. Not sure if the attendance will be capped but ticket sales are stricter and that goes for the Shamrock Rovers game as well I've also heard (unconfirmed) that tickets for the SR game will not go on general sale if they are not all bought by season ticket holders and members.

He played for Eire not Northern Ireland. Came from a few miles from me in NW London worked for underprivileged people when he left football bit different to the normal ex pros of the 70's who ran pubs badly for a year before coming double glazing salesman or ponce a living like Alan Hudson RIP Demps.

As only a occasional visitor to the forum these days I'm confused @Timmy Elms and @Fruit Bat are the same person ? I'm sure I've seen that coat posted before and the prose is very similar that can't be disguised you've come back more times than a squash ball mate 😂.

In living memory how old are you mate 25 😂. Might have been the worst team since you started following Chelsea from 12,000 miles away sport but there's been a lot worse teams then our current one.

What about the poor Chelsea fan who got attacked cause he had PEDRO on the back of his shirt unfortunately for him the R had faded away 🤣.

Back in the day some local Chelsea fans would go to watch Fulham this is when most fans didn't travel away in big numbers. Yet this weapon is claiming he's an ST holder at the Bridge which costs a small fortune travels from Brighton which is not cheap and still spends more money watching Brighton 😂.Apart from it being absolute Jackson Pollocks who could afford that and who would go and watch two premier league teams if he said he also followed Worthing or a lower league club then maybe but this is just fantasy the bloke is not playing with a full deck.

Well maybe you can explain this then. As a Brighton supporter I am amazed how you all are happy with this appointment. Good luck and hope it works out but you are taking a mighty big chance. So surprised a club like Chelsea have not gone for someone who has experience right at top of game. Potter has done well for us a side that thinks its a great achievement...

Again mentioning Pep and Arteta they have nothing to do with Chelsea and there's no excuses for playing that badly twice against Servette doesn't matter who played.

So the two dreadful performances against Servette don't count then ?. We were in danger of becoming a bigger laughing stock then we already are if we had gone out on Thursday and why the Artetta analogies what's the point of comparing us to Arsenal or any other club for that matter. Most fans already know Maresca is out of his depth it's obvious and are waiting for the inevitable sacking come January.

And fans get very defensive when it's brought up. Circumstances change people get married, can't afford it move away etc I entirely get that. What I'm talking about is people who say they are passionate about Chelsea who cause things aren't going well say they can't be bothered watching an illegal stream that is the modern football fan in a nutshell. I'm from a different generation if you supported a club you went to games simple as that the team you support defines you to an extent. You went home and away with your mates and met people some you might not even know their surnames maybe just their nicknames but you went regardless even though Chelsea were mostly terrible. The fact is once football got really big late 90's people who never liked football had to start following a team cause they felt left out of conversations at work or the pub I know loads of geezers who started mainly supporting Arsenal a few Chelsea you always had Man United fans who were laughed at cause they sat in the pub with a Man United top on while they dominated football but these people would never go to games. That's why my generation are so sneery at internet fans cause it's easy to watch a stream you haven't paid for and just parrot Neville and Carragher talking about inverted full backs it's bo**ocks. The idea of them supporting Luton if it's their local side especially when they were in the non league would never happen instead of being part of something they'd rather latch on to a Premier League team and watch on the telly. Italian football was televised live on Sundays after Italia 90 most of my generation would look at it through a hungover glaze when we would have gone from football on a Saturday afternoon to a rave till the early hours and English football was piss poor I don't know a single person who started supporting AC Milan or Juve or Napoli. Lastly for example the Rolling Stones have been going for 60 years who would you say is the most passionate fan the one who buys all the records went to all the gigs they could or the ones who illegally download their music and have never been to a concert ?. Anyone reading this can you tell me why you got into Chelsea I've given you my story I'm genuinely interested.

Why would you feel sorry for her you don't know her, she's married to a bloke called Bob a well known Chelsea fan as well she has a steady job I don't know if she has any kids is respected by all Chelsea fans who know her and beyond I hope that puts your mind at rest. Define supporter, fan, follower it doesn't make you a better person to go to Chelsea regularly but it does make you a better fan if you spend your money in a cost of living crisis following whatever team you support rather then sniping from the sidelines especially someone like @Zeta who started supporting Chelsea in his mid 20's and although he will deny it said he would have no problem betting against Chelsea and has done it several times.

Fans like @Zeta who say they won't watch an illegal stream anymore or match going fans who have seen heart ripped out of the club who turned up when we were under sanctions. If you don't go to Chelsea or don't know anyone who does I'm sorry but an online forum is not the place to make judgements on how Chelsea fans feel. The modern football fan talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk if you want the epitome of a Chelsea fan look no further than Cathy who has missed something like 2 Chelsea games iin 40 years and I mean every game pre season friendlies, Simod Cup games in front of 3,000 she's in the States at the moment they are the sort of people who count not an internet fan who can't accept that Chelsea aren't dominating football.

The bloke who that is CFC Accountability is dreadful and he's definitely not from Southwark either. He says he hates racism fair enough but anyone who questions him is just called an old James Blunt and he claims everyone who goes to Chelsea who is over 50 is a overweight gammon nazi who hates foreigners honestly he really is bad news if you or anyone else is on Twitter check him out.
