All Mail reporters should be banned from Stamford Bridge in future, due to years of hatred and constant negativity by this filthy rags so called journalists against our football club. The Mails anti Chelsea agenda really has reached fever pitch now and I think the future owners of our club should throw them out just like the rubbish they are.

FRANKIE LAMPARD'S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY 

So happy about this and it just keeps reminding me of the year Eddie Mac won us promotion with with a side made up of young and exciting players, loved that season. COME ON FRANKIE LAMPARD'S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY 

Makes you wonder why these managers are paid so much money and yet are so blind to what everyone else can see

Totally fed up with our performances of late. Watching us against Newcastle last week felt like an ordeal. I thought we couldn’t possibly play as poorly again. Wrong. I’d echo most of the comments already made here on the match itself, we had more of the ball and managed to never look like scoring, whereas Arsenal seemed to create 4 or 5 real quality chances. Even in stoppage time at 2-0 down everything we did was sidewards. 
What can we change? I think we have to give up on Hazard as false 9, it worked against Man City and hasn’t worked since. I desperately hope Higuain comes in and changes things for us. Our full backs lack intent going forward and we hardly ever get in behind teams. The only time we do is the odd diagonal ball from David Luiz. We have to move the ball quicker and we have to move the ball with intent. I want to see Alonso and Azpilicueta busting a gut to get past our wide players, not ambling into the box trying to play one-twos through 4 players. 
If we start the same 11 against Spurs on Thursday and play the same way then Sarri unfortunately deserves whatever comes to him. 

They were talking about it on Talksport earlier. Paul Canoville was on and I think he is involved with it.
That sounds a bit conspiracy theoryish to me. It's just a group of supporters who are trying to come together and try to stop discrimination.

Well done Chelsea another 3 points gained. Really did not want to lose this one as only live a couple of miles from the Amex. My daughter was working at the Amex for the game and was chuffed as she is also a Chelsea fan and she was  delegated working in the away end 

not many though although I do remember seeing 2 Forest lads on the train after the Portsmouth and Bognor Train had joined at Barnham

Had only been living in Brighton a few years after moving from Chi when that game took place. The stand you are referring to was known the West Stand extension which is where I was sitting with an ex girlfriend. Yes you are right the Brighton fans exited the North stand pretty quick when our lot started to flow in from the corner enclosure.

Amazing, thanks for posting this!

what do you reckon guys

Yes mostly agree with you. When I was growing up in Chi and traveling up to the Bridge there were loads of Chelsea from Sussex, Surrey and south London. I find though that with Brighton (where I have now lived for many years) that their fan base in Sussex sees to mostly end along the coast west of Worthing and that part of Sussex is mostly Pompey country. Certainly growing up in Chichester most of the local support was Portsmouth with very little for Brighton.

Yes do agree there probably the cut off is about Littlehampton (LA to the locals), going to school in steyning it was mostly Brighton fans, but when I moved to Chichester late 80's the Brighton support disappears and it's Pompey as the local team that really surprised me as I hadn't even met a Pompey fan until I moved to Chichester. Teams like Pompey, Burnley etc have very ardent support within say a 10 mile radius, where everyone supports that team, go outside that radius and the support vanishes. Funny how some teams Chelsea included have always had support that covers large areas even when we weren't so successful. Remember speaking to Utd fan in 96 before we played them at villa park in cup semi final, and he couldn't believe how many Chelsea fans were coming down from up north.

Yep can still remember going through the turnstiles and up the steps into the mighty shed to see Ray lead out that young Chelsea side so full of promise that got promoted out of the old second division. I can still hear the chants of Eddie Macredie's Blue and white army or Wilkins Wilkins born is the King of Stamford Bridge. Then there were the girls dotted around the ground with their I'm a Butch Wilkins Babe scarfs  wrapped around their necks. Thank you Ray for giving me so many great memories of my teenage years. you were taken too young-Rest in Peace.
