Winston Bogarde. Apparently he was staggered by the amount of money we offered him, once arrived he wasn’t rated by various managers, couldn’t find another club that could match his wages so decided to “ honour his contract “ for four years. Don’t hate him for it but the most obvious piss take I can think of.

Saying that his career goal scoring rate was pretty decent. Goal hanging Swindon bastard

One of the worst two or three professional footballers in Europe at the time. Diabolical player.

In Venice atm and Argyle jumpers all the rage with Spaghetti Twirlers evidently

Checked online. Incredibly since 1960 25 players have gone from The Bridge to Loftus Road. Unable to upload list on phone

West Ham away 81. Andy Swallow there with his flight jacket on

Not all he’s cracked up to be Einstein by all accounts. Typical head in the clouds genius. Invented The Theory of Relativity but unable to change the wiper blades on his motor

In theory he should have had a good central midfield partnership with Johnny B. JB was hard working- MF could was classy and could spray it around- problem was he was sluggish, couldn’t defend, and probably wasn’t good enough to be carried as a ‘ flair payer” There was a bit of a conveyor belt going to QPR- Hollins, Webb, Wicks, Fillery. Btwv RIP Stan Bowles. Not many of the 70s mavericks left

Masters of the Universe. Cleverest people in the room. So intelligent that they didn’t realise you have to purchase a certain amount of players with a proven pedigree, or semblance of leadership attributes in order to succeed.

Merely a spoke in the wheel of the Clearlake empire.

Unfortunately their collective assets are so huge, they can afford to take a hit if the Chelsea Project fails. Good intentions, thus far piss poor delivery.

Football is full of cliches and the loosing manager trotting out “ We’ll learn from this “ is one of the most tiresome. Almost as annoying as the post match bigging up of opponents “ Brammal Lane’s a difficult place to get a result “ eg

A brainy player with fizz. Fantastic potential

Looks a bit Derek Hales there…DH famously had a punch up with his Charlton team mate Micky Flanagan during a game. One of them had a testacle removed, didn’t lay on a potentially goal scoring pass and was called a “ greedy one bollocked bastard”….cue fistfight… Very frustrating player Fillery. He was either very good or total sh*te

We’re not an attractive proposition for managers atm. One saving grace is that they would be plying their trade in London, which is a draw. Flat in Knightsbridge, mansion in Cobham. Get sacked after a year or so with a three million payout. Crying all the way to the bank.

Largely agree. I thought it would take a relegation to sort out the wheat from the chaff supporter wise, however mid table mediocrity has achieved this. I’m guessing traffic on this site has declined in revient years. Fair weather fans are not fans, not supporters. The purpose of being a Chelsea fan is to support Chelsea. Rain or shine.

Up the Juction

Child actor Dennis Waterman. Chelsea fan in real life. Great film with old Battersea scenes prior to the demolition of what’s know the Winstanley Estate with Suzie Kendall- red hot bit off crumpet - where she crossés the Bridge from Chelsea to see how the other half live- can’t think of mame of film but great street scenes pre slum clearance

See you later Backy…Backy ..Backy Backy….!

Dennis and his brother Pete Waterman, who was British Champion, boxed for my old club, Ciaus, Battersea

None of us have access to Clearlake’s contract. At the end of their denture will depts be passed on to the club? Btw at risk of sounding like a miserable sod, our front three of Sterling, Jackson and the Ukraine is possibly our weakest front three in 40 years

Love watching Minder and The Sweeney- great for odd bits of street graffiti CFC, QPR related mostly cause they were both Euston Production Films, who were base in Hammersmith, and had a practical limit of how far they would stray from HQ for outside shots. Loads round Notting Dale, West Ken , punch up finales round by the gasworks in Imperial Road….Imperial Road, Bagleys Lane…loads of iconic CFC graffiti which survived well into the late 90’s.
