Finally watched "Mahogany" (1975) the other day. Diana Ross was a real stunner when this was made, looking absolutely gorgeous. Such a shame that the movie was so awful! Or maybe it just hasn't stood the test of time?

Typical anti-Chelsea bias, went on all through the competition. Ian Wright couldn't seem to go longer than five minutes without telling us all how crap Oscar was. Even when the other pundits were discussing totally different things, Wright would suddenly declare that Oscar 'had a very bad game' out of nowhere. All the pundits were arseholes to varying degrees, but Ian Wright was in a class of his own. What a prize c*nt.

1967-1972 era... Osgood, Cooke, Harris, Hutchinson, McCreadie, Bonetti, Webb, Tambling, Baldwin, Hudson, Dempsey, Weller, Houseman, Hollins, Mulligan, Boyle, Hinton, FA Cup, Cup Winners Cup, need I say more?

Some great sitcoms mentioned so far, here a few other classics... Steptoe & Son Till Death Us Do Part M*A*S*H Soap The Brittas Empire The Good Life There must be more!

Pretty sure that coverage was shown at the beginning of the Chelsea History video - great stuff!

I really wanted Atletico to win last night, but I feel that yet again a team has been cheated by a referee/officials/UEFA. Where the f*ck did FIVE minutes of injury time come from???

"Well Roman, me old mucker, 'ere we are again mate. Seeing as I got quite a few quid for that useless lazy b*stard Mata, I reckon our best course of action is to get rid of Oscar as well - he's got far too much flair for my liking so he's next out. And I've already made it clear that I don't rate Eden Hazard, all that dribbling with the ball and scoring sensational goals, as you know, that's not my style. So, once we offload Willian too we'll have a cushty pile of dosh, which I'm planning on spending on proper players, players who are superb at passing sideways and backwards. So, Roman, let's get the ball rolling, eh mate..."

Plymouth Argyle Formed 1886 Founder member of Division Three 1920 1964-1966 1966-1968 1968-1971 . 1973-1975 1975-1976 1982-1983. 1995-1996 1996-1997. 1997-1998 1998-1999 2000-2001 2001-2002 2002-2003 2011-2012

Yeah, Argyle used to play in all green, though the shirts had a white band round the chest. Think they play in white and green now, not sure

My 'ideal' starting line-up would be... Bonetti Harris Webb Dempsey McCreadie Cooke Hollins Hudson Houseman Osgood Hutchinson Unfortunately this in unlikely to be the side, so I'll just have to wait and see. And yes, my favourite record is 'Living In The Past' by Jethro Tull.

I'd rather see Andy Carroll up front for Chelsea than that demented twat. Bring back Tommy Baldwin or Dave Speedie to play alongside him and we'd be made!

Just heard the terrible news, Sandy Jardine was one of my all-time favourite players. I was privileged enough to see him play for Rangers a few times, he was a real top-class class player. My thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP Sandy Jardine, a true Rangers legend.

Wow, I bow down to your superior wisdom and wit, I feel humbled to post on the same forum as yourself. Now go f*ck yourself

He' an over-rated c*nt, I f*ckin'' hate the bloke. If we were stupid enough to sign him he'd be sent off every other game and spend half the season suspended. His reaction to JT winning the ball (fairly) should serve as a warning to the club. And besides, he's way too ugly to play for Chelsea, the sacred royal blue is way too good for the likes of him. And I'm not picking on him alone for his looks, I mean, Atletico have got to be one of the ugliest teams ever! And their fans were almost as bad, a stadium full of faces that could be used to scare violent criminals.

Never seen Chelsea play overseas, so I suppose the farthest I've been is either Newcastle or Carlisle

Haven't worn a football shirt in many a year, but like TD I 'acquired' a variety of club scarves in the 70's The only football shirts I've owned are the 1976/77 Chelsea, the 1977 Scotland, and the 1980 Rangers (which I've still got, though it appears to have shrunk considerably over the years, lol)

I agree - we'd be far better off being featured in 'Family Guy'

I'd be happier with unsafe standing, just like the good old days. I mean, how can you enjoy a proper knees-up if it's safe?

PB, do Dulwich still play in the same ground they did in the 70's? I remember going a cup final there in the mid 70's, Wimbledon v Leatherhead, probably the Surrey Senior Cup or something similar, nice ground. Had some fun and games that day!

Used to go to Tooting & Mitcham in the 70's, and Wimbledon too when they were in the Southern League - the good old days! In recent years I've been to a few AFC Wimbledon games, home and away, and the occasional Hastings United game. Better atmosphere at some non-league games than in the Premiership.

Damn, you know me so well!

Always f*ckin' hated Deco, the stunted little spunkbubble, a serial cheat who was always diving - maybe he was weighted down by those freaky eyebrows? Alan Hudson is a good shout, loved him when he played for us, but can't stand him now - always slagging Chelsea off for not helping him, yet never mentions Stoke or Arsenal and they've done f*ck all too.

Unfortunately Eddie McCreadie had some stiff competition for a regular place in the Scotland side, namely Tommy Gemmell and Danny McGrain. As erskblue says, Charlie Cooke didn't get anywhere near the number of caps he deserved - but it's not so surprising when you remember he was in competition with Jimmy Johnstone and Willie Henderson. Scotland had some superb players back then!

Personally, I love the kits and badges from the mid-60's to the late '70's - apart from the red away strip of course. I'd love to have a Chelsea mug in the proper royal blue with the crest from that era on it, that'd be real classy!

So many good films, and such a bad memory... Zulu The Godfather (1 & 2) National Lampoon Animal House The Blues Brothers Leon Taxi Driver Clockwork Orange Straw Dogs If... Streetfighter Alfie (the original) The Italian Job (the original) Scum ...and so many more
