the days of low Chelsea followings in big london games ended in 1975,but we had massive followings up to this time at qpr, palace, orient etc, anything dogy 'up north' around this time was steered clear of although you could go to coventry for example and their were thousands

for all that you are not fully in the picture and not the melts that do not remember full members cup games at home to swindon for example you know who you are! Remember Wikins sitter against Tottenham

It is so easy to understand, it is all in the head, you lose a few games that you are not used to losing, then you lose confidence then it goes spirilling downwards, you are now watching Chelsea hoofing up high balls because there is no midfield anymore and of course in these situattions you players doing what they would normally not do

now Eddie Newton, i thought he was superb espescially when he used to do that thing where he changed the play from one side to the other, and Andreas you should get out more!

a poll to see if Carlo should go yes! bring back Portefield, Hollins, Blanchflower, Claudio et al. You could not make it up !

fickle, fickle, you lot were not knocking him last season when he we won the double and was scoring and then not half the season gone,and all of you are calling for the managers head as well ! Maybe watch a few full members cup videos to bring you back to reality

abromavitch, you are spot on son.

if you bring Kalou on when we are losing or in difficulty he adds speed and will always trouble defenders. And he will score and create something

no doubt for Brazil he is good, but for us he is lost. This is from a geyser who tolerated Jockanovic, Hall etc. If Lampard is not in midfield then we are mullered, and we miss Ballack bad. Even on the tele over here they say the same

mm stupid post? he will end up like a host of young good players in the mid 90s, for example Hughes. If you think that Ramires is a good player, then you are as mad as I am !

if Carlo goes to Roma do we get Claudio back ? There is a whisper over here the Guardiola is in the frame.

remember save claudio! Sad, sad. We should never have sacked José, but despite all and the fickleness we won the double last year and will STILL come back, but not with those in the team that are not up to scratch, if Lampard is not in midfield than noone is the guvnor and Carvvalho has never really been replaced

both josh and ramires are NOT premier league standard and you can add kakuta to that as well

thats good, i did hear a story about a season ticket. I was walking down the kings road once before the game and opposite the american pub (i cant remember the name)there is a small park and there was a tramp there and it looked like him, i did here that he was destitute

i remember that a couple of millwall at the back of gate 13 had bycical chains, a game against luton in 1980 springs to mind, colin lee scored in the last minute for a 1-1 draw, the atmosphere in gate 13 was briiliant and loads run on when we scored

we were a bit out of order one day on an away trip, and he sorted it. But my question is if he had so many "so called" mates how come they never rallied round to help when he was in trouble !?

euston 1970, there were trains leaving every half hour or so taking 25,000 , not many went by coach or jam jar in those days

i was there and around that time there were a few mad games up there

chelsea got a kicking at birmingham in 75 as well,i was there, but i cannot remember if it was before or after the cup game

i remember it well, the north stand were gathered at the top ( as usual) and ran down and scattered them everywhere. 2-0 down, Hollins hits his penalty over the bar but we come back to win 3-2, i know mickey droy scored at least one." North stand, north stand do your job" !

that birmingham game must have been in 75, i remember the cup game chelsea were trying to get on the pitch from the shed end

the funniest one was against palace when they tried to take the shed AFTER the game, there was about 50 of 'em', Chelsea heard them as they were leaving went back in and bashed them.

you were nice and safe in the north stand ! We were 2-0 up. there was a 1-1 draw around this time and they were in the 3 main parts of the shed all through the game, the only mob to do this i am sure, the only opposition was a small firm wher the tea bar was

i don't remember too many celebrities around during the bad old days.

dont remember the testimonial, i can remember a 4-2 home defeat where it was all off, i think boxing day. Getting away from that, i went to the harry cripps testimonial against west ham and that was mental
