His performance was so impressive, he was every where. Man is a legend, he carries his humility well. It’s amazing that he is so annoying and disruptive to opposition players yet they never appear to get annoyed with him. Probably says much about how he is respected.

Honourable mention ! 😀    

Kante without a doubt. Surely one of his top 3 performances.

Not sure which Kante to give it to,I think I’ll just go with the middle one.
Absolutely brilliant tonight.

Pretty difficult to choose between Kante, Kante and Kante. They all had a brilliant performance!

This feels so good, absolutely delighted. Up the f**king Chelsea!

For me i know my attendance dropped off late eighties as I brought my first flat and moved in with the Doris of the day so money became tight.Having done, like so many fans  home and away games for 10 plus years i was also knackered and i have to admit a wet night in Walsall ,again wasnt as appealing as it had previously been....cant miss a game was a mantra that no longer applied then
Moving fast forward i hated euro 96 with Skinner and that song,still hate it now ,painted faces and sh*te,yeh gods
I really got my love of home and away games back ,cant miss a game ,cant miss a game when Rudd signed ,and that team came together under Wisey,we played some great football ,had the old CFC style back ,didn’t win every game but we put in a performance...unlike todays shower
european game !fukcing marvellous,just like the old days
And then i slowly got worn down again by it all ,not CFC but bastrd sky and super sunday and magic monday and the death of 3 o’clock Saturday,sky ha ha prices become stupid
but i kept going ,just just in the hope that my beloved club could win the league....just once in my time...and we did and i was there in Bolton,thanks Frank...as a sign maybe of the times i was there with my current Doris....so i had changed as well
sadly that last home game against Charlton, party atmosphere,happy days ,but in the queue going into the Matthew Harding a kid of maybe 8 had his flag on a stick ,waving away with the biggest smile on his face and I thought  he’s going to be the next generation and will go for the next 30 ,40 years and then as he got to the turnstile,the bastrd steward took the flag off him as it was a dangerous weapon,i went mad .....i so felt for the kid and that was my last game going in....

There is an anti-Chelsea bias in the media. I agree with what has been mentioned in previous posts. Sometimes the bias is more subtle but equally annoying. One example being…Chelsea have spent big this season, bla bla bla!
Reassuringly Peter Crouch has been measured when he says things like “Chelsea have spent big this season albeit on the back of a transfer ban”. These subtle more balanced comments make a difference, it’s just a shame that TV journalists don’t subscribe to the same professional standards that many of us must exhibit in our working lives.

Over the years we’ve had managers at the club who’ve had little connection with the club.
Yes, we have won trophies, but it felt like we were engaging with a company in the leisure industry rather than supporting a football club.
When Super Frank came it was such a breath of fresh air. We knew he was a rookie manager and we knew mistakes would abound. But he bleeds blue and the sense of engagement he has with everything CFC was motivating for the fans.
The romantic side in many of us really wanted Frank to work out. I still think he should have been given more time.
That said I like the new chap, he comes over as measured and intelligent and a real pro.
This is a good fans forum and there are some intelligent and interesting posters.

I always liked Sparky. Possibly my favourite opposition player when he first broke through at United,. Was so pleased when we signed him, led the line well and strong as an ox.
