Clinging on by our fingertips there. . Definitely demote Moses to the wilderness squad. But who knows, this dire win might kick start our season in the prem.

Set this forum to music and it's Marilyn Manson meets Rage Against The Machine. The meadow is well and truly moan! Wolves having a cup final, we're swatting mosquitos. We'll get pissed off in a minute and start a bush fire. KTBFFH

No doubt their fans are calling them old and useless and barracking them for lack of effort, while making lists of much better replacements for the summer window. I mean they are only second in the Spanish league too, so who could blame them.who :)

Right. All you have to do is want to take it that way. No science needed at all, and clearly none used.

Total plastic, Me! 1970 Fa cup final and replay. First games of football I ever saw. Chelsea won, so that's why I don't support Leeds.

I remember being a tad sceptical about escaping relegation to the old 3rd division, but it turned out that God was just softening me up for potential disasters like this season.

f**k me. You're a real Chelsea warrior aren't you! But how come all your bullet wounds are in your back? KTBFFH.

So now our nearest rival is 8 points behind instead of 7. I wish more of our sh*t weekends were that bad.

Well, there is this Listen to any streamed radio in the world which is pretty neat I especially like the OTR stations (old time radio) across the states which play old radio drama and crime shows from the 40s and 50s. Try it and see.

There does seem to a lack of perspective. Youtbe best of videos and edited highlights on TV seems to be creating expectations that are simply unsustainable in the face of everyday realities. Costa wan't hopeless, uninterested, not trying, burnt out, or thinking of a steaming plate of No.98 in A Beijing restaurant, he was frustrated by a very resolute defence. It happens, but those days are evened out by the times when he walks on water. Can't help wondering what this forum would have looked like over the entire time that Didier was our man!

and for very good reasons too, but I doubt it is a fan thing with him. More likely to be something to do with Conte's footballing knowledge and associated skills that place him as manager of one of the best teams in the world. Chelsea FC. KTBFFH

Emoticon failure, clearly. Did you note the post I responded to? I i wanted to attack someone's integrity they would know it. "Take a day off. don't come here on match day" Doesn't look great when I write it that way, but strip away nuance and you can make any arguement you want. My rhetorical question was not the point i was making. It seemed to be yours in your next response.. And hey, enough already. I am sure we both have far better things to do. Have a good evening and enjoy the fact that your team is the best in the land. It wasn't always so! :) KTBFFH.

The clown I was perfectly happy with. But the straw man arguement preceding it..........meh! . Which part ?of the post you reacted to at first should I delete?. The smiley after the question mark?

If it looks like straw, it probably is. Avoid my posts on match day. KTBFFH

I have no problem with anyone acknowledging the team had a bad day at the office and analyzing with some respect to the team's achievements and the track record of the players who made it happen Now go back and look at many comments about individual players and the manager which take that critique well back beyond today's performance .That is what makes me say what I say. Go read ...'always useless, always a hopeless decision maker, never could pass a ball, doesn't try, must be replaced, hasn't got the balls to make substitutions etc etc' You got a problem with my integrity as a fan of 47 years? Thank you for your concer.n

Fans? :)

Play like sh*t on a snowy day in hell against a team having its once in a decade cup final: draw 1-1 and increase our lead at the top? . Pure f**king genius . KTBBFH

This forum was more depressing than the weather. Some of the comments in here amounted to treason. How very fecking dare we have anything less than perfection. How dare Conte make the selections he does. Does the little f**ker know anything about football at all????? Depressing. seriously to think people don't know what they've got and can't appreciate it without tearing it down.

!0 points clear. We need to get a forum for Chelsea fans. KTBFFH

,

I come back from a long winter break, only to discover that it is the end of the world. 9 points ahead, drawing 1-1 with Burnley and all our heroes are rubbish and Conte needs to grow a pair. WTF? Anyway. great half of football, terrific goal by us and a mighty fime free kick from them. Our second halves are legendary, so i am looking forward to another 45 minutes of watching my briiliant team amanaged by our brilliant manager take care of business. If they don't well hell yeah, lets send the f**kers back to playstation and get some decent ones. KTBFFH ffs!!

It's not essential that we win tonight. A loss will still see us 5 points ahead of the pack. It is essential however that Tottenham is punished for every one of it's crimes since the dawn of time. The sacking of Troy. the burning of Rome, various world wars, and also for just being Tottenham. I'm going for a 0-2 thrashing on a very cold night in Naam!

Another sad departure this year was Greg Lake, mostly remembered for his work with Emmerson (RIP also) Lake and Palmer, but also a founder with Robert Fripp of King Crimson. Lake played with Crimson as a bassist, vocalist and writer for two albums - In the Court of the Crimson King and In the The Wake of the Poseidon - before leaving to join E.L.P.

I'm a photographer, so i love that you get these to post each game. The 'hidden' thing works well. :)

Team dynamics maybe? I have no doubt Michy has what it takes with his feet, but football at this level has always required another dimension. Conte sees this guy everyday in every way.
