Just the ones who support Liverpool

Woodhogan, I wish to complain in the strongest terms about..................................... Woodhogan, Oh i've missed you so much i wish you were here with me...............................

Woodhogan, Sorry i just wanted to reply like Sage it made me laugh

Great post. The promotion team of 83-84 were exactly how you describe i was 18 had a few quid and the away support was untouchable. If our average crowd that season was say between 20-25,000 we would bring at least a third of that support to away games if not more.

The 1976-77 promotion winning team. It was the first year i started going regularly with a mate of my dad's. We used to stand in the bit of the Shed that had the corrugated iron put up in 1979. I bought the away kit from the supporters shop the top cost £3.65 and i got my mum to sow on the number 9 on the back a top which i still have. I just can't throw it out even though a lot of Chelsea fans hate us in red and to a degree i do as well. I remember crying my eyes out after we lost 4-0 to Charlton i thought we'd blown it. But then a couple of weeks later i was so desperate to get on the pitch against Hull but my dads mate who was loving it as much as i was said "if your mum and dad find out i let you run on the pitch they'd kill me" so it wasn't to be. Looking back how a club who beat Real Madrid in a major final six years later were losing 4-0 to Charlton was an utter scandal and should never have happened but supporting Chelsea there is never a dull moment then or now.

First off i know i'm the forum grump and i'll try and rein in the sneering. Obviously you can only follow Chelsea from the era you were born in and the average poster on the whole forum is i would guess as being in there mid 20s. There's a smattering of us old oldies but it's mainly a youngish person's forum. And there for me is the problem it's almost and believe it or not i'm not having a go as if there's the belief that English football was invented in 1992. That everything that preceded it was a sort of inferior version. You here things like he's the leading goalscorer in Premiership football as if everything else has been scrubbed from football history. Football had it's problems in the 70s and 80s and Chelsea as a club lurched from one financial crisis to another and things were pretty bad on and off the field. But when things were going well it was brilliant and i wouldn't swap it for anything. Anyway another of the lecture and for what it's worth nothing for going completely Honey Nut Loops after a goal will beat Wayne Bridge's goal at Highbury.

English football died when Alf Ramsay picked Geoff Astle over the King of Stamford Bridge Peter Osgood in Mexico 1970.

The spat is over as far as i'm concerned Barn. Moi if you look at my first post i say that people are free to spend there money how they want. I don't mention fat or skinny people at all but do mention beer guts. You mention that fat people never look as slim people whatever they wear. A sweeping generalization perhaps?

When an old pro is asked about a young and up coming player you usually get the usual superlatives. If he knuckles down he can be well add your own cliche. On 5live a couple of years ago Nico Classen was asked can Lukaku be a top player he replied no straight of the bat. When Classen was asked to elaborate he just said well talent and temperament he's not strong or good enough. The thing about Lukaku is he talks a good game and there's nothing wrong with that but scoring against the U.S.A. when they were dead on there feet is not exactly a ringing endorsement. For what it's worth i agree with Classen he's not good good enough now. Will he be our centre forward well put it this way if your young and can't shift Torres you should have a good look in the mirror.

Cheers Barn

Well exactly. As Chelsea fans we've thick skins but with him it's just a petty agenda. But f**k then you've got Parasite Barclay who when it come's to a i'm right your wrong mentality is like comparing Kate Moss to Vanessa Feltz

Ha ha fair enough. We have reached common ground our hatred of Mick Dennis. But Beerqueen he really is the worst journo by none. If he get's interviewed about Sunday's game it will be "Well Mick big game on Sunday". " Err no the Norfolk Numbskulls Under 12's aren't playing and furthermore if they were how would they cope without me being there"." No Mick the world cup you know the biggest prize in football". " No way the biggest prize in football is for our kids to have a talentless journo hector and badger them into thinking how great writing self congratulatory columns are and don't you forget that young man".

Agreed my son agreed

As it goes TD one thing i do 100% agree with you on is Mick Dennis. Just typing his name gives me a sort of temporary turrets syndrome he is incapable of A. Mentioning he supports Norwich anytime he's interviewed. B. That he refs or is it manages kids football i usually turn the radio off as soon as he comes on. But Jesus kids coach or ref a real nightmare either way i'm going for kids coach so he can turn the condescending up to eleven. But his biggest crime is as a journo he has no insight into the game football is just a means to an end for him.

Because your a c**t

Twat there's another one to the name calling. You do have a rich vocabulary TD it's like Shakespeare performed by Arthur Mullard.

You have quite the habit of name calling though. Sanctimonious gobsh*te to Davey Baby on the Mourinio's mistakes thread. What i read was him making incisive and witty points and you demanding to be heard like a sort of internet foot stamping

Brilliant

Yes but i don't get all teary and call people c**ts. Good riposte though TD. There really is no beginning to your talents

Cheers George

On Boxing Day 1994 we played the Mancs at the Bridge. At half time or before the game it was boxing day after all one of the songs that was played was Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and what's her face. A couple of weeks earlier the Mancs had been crushed 4-0 in the Nou Camp. I thought this was a good touch by the club and it seemed just a little louder then normal but that might have been my hangover kicking in. Anyway did i imagine it but on the club website some or maybe all i don't know the fans are allowed to pick the pre match records. If this is the case then in homage to Gerrard's comical and quite brilliant slip against us at Anfield i'm going to suggest a few tunes. OOPS I DID IT AGAIN: Britney Spears I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down: Elvis Costello (Scouser so a bonus) Slip Slidin Away : Paul Simon In reality of course this could never happen. The furore this would cause in Liverpool would be astronomical. The local MP would demand questions to be asked in Parliament, all football phone in's would be of moaning scousers ( oh wait that's nothing new so as you were on that one) and John Aldridge will be so apoplectic with rage that he meets a grisly end just like the bloke at the start of the film Scanners. All of the numerous pundits associated with Liverpool are so enraged by Chelsea's antics they form a union and refuse to do any media work. There are so few pundits left that Gary Lineker is joined on the Match of The Day sofa by Ruel Fox and Clayton Blackmore. But of course you would think they could take a joke especially as scousers are known for there wit and humour. Just look at some of there comedians, Tarby, Stan Boardman and the latest berk John Bishop who makes Ken Dodd look like Bill Hicks. So has anyone got more song suggestions for the singalong a scouse medley.

Docherty

Look mate this is my final word i'm not down the front or Iderton i can assure you of that. Do you remember you had a go at me when on a match thread i put up a post and put STOOD in capital letters. It made me laugh because and i'm not taking the piss you called me sunshine which no one has called me since 1975. I have never had an opinion on Glasgow Rangers in my life i know nothing about them and the only contact i've had with them is Man City away in 1989 when two coaches of them pulled up and every single one of them staggered out which was hilarious. Also in the 1994 cup final a load of them joined up with Chelsea at the Lillie Langtry so i've no reason to slag them off.

Language Timothy!. You've accused me of being an obsessive nutter and even of being someone else entirely. In fact you accused me of being three different people. Well it would appear you are a bit rattled looking at your last two sentences. I thought you were going to sit back and watch me metaphorically dig my own grave. Anyway you can all put up the bunting and open the champagne because i think i've said enough on this subject. I will apologise if i've offended anyone that was never my intention. But you know how it is you do sort of get caught up in the moment and a lack of judgement can prevail. I'm sorry that it turned into petty squabbling between me and TD and it ended up like a couple of old gits arguing over the garden fence. But as for general grumpiness as Grampa Simpson said to Homer in the Hullabalooza episode "IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU!
