Interesting season ahead!

Hi all. Just wrote a small piece about whether or not the pressure is on Mourinho and Chelsea this season. Was wondering if anybody would be kind enough to give it a quick scan and discuss? I'm not sure whether CFC fans agree with the sentiment or not. It would be interesting to get your views! x Chelsea FC - The Pressure Is On

I'd get threatened if I was at the Bridge, stood up and chanted Rafa's name. There's an atmosphere. A silly one. Face it.

How in gods name do the media want us to believe Rafa is liked by the fans? Are you kidding me? ESPN have just had a guy spouting absolutely dog sh*t against him for the last 2 hours.

Some sense at least... But surely the negative effect from 80percent of fans across the globe and most of them inside the Stadium aren't helping Rafa at least get a win percentage as good as RDM's... Lack of respect is my main qualm. The FSW references and the bloated sh*t the guy above said. I just think it's rude to be honest and I'm sure if I met most of the people saying it, I could pick things to slam. That's me done. Calm down people. If Hazard performs Sunday, I fancy us to win 2-1. They're catch able!

I think that's just ignoring the obvious tbh. In terms of the United stuff, they wobbled at the start of the season. We had fairly easy ties and found ourselves top with no struggle. United have since gone on a streak of not losing in about 4 months? Anyway, I'm not here to argue. As I stated, we all know Rafa wont be here for much longer, why can't you all relax and stop with the hate? It effects everyone in the club. It's clueless and only the braindead fans do it imo.

Your lack of respect is astounding, Sir. Sort your life out. Get off the booze. Give the wife some cash and take her shopping. If you're single, it wouldn't surprise me.

I don't really know what you all expected Rafa to do? Things were obviously declining under RDM, whether you want to admit it or not. The lack of respect is what's shocked me, to be honest. Sure, there's a rivalry between Chelsea and Liverpool and Rafa but as Steve Harper said in the ESPN studio, if there's an atmosphere around the ground, the players feel it. The boys must open a paper every day and see "RAFA OUT" "CHELSEA FANS CONTINUE HATE ON RAFA" or "TORRES = WASTE OF MONEY"... There's a reason we won two tough games away at Everton then Stoke. Even the team tonight, we beat them 1-0 away fairly easily. But there's always a bit of an atmosphere at Stamford Bridge. It's a shame really, because we all know Rafa is only here for 2 or 3 more months, why continue to ask for his head?

Goodness me... You lot won't let it up will you on the Rafa hate? Give it a break... It should have been a fairly comfortable 3 or 4-1 game if it wasn't for some awful finishing at times and lack of composure. Not forgetting they camped in their own half for the 2nd half. The sub changed the game. Where's the credit? There's a huge game coming up sunday, did you want RAFA to play Lampard for 90 minutes? Luiz for 90? Hazard for 90? Crazy... Torres couldn't be subbed (although I wish he could be and I hope Ba starts sunday!) who was on the bench to replace him as a CF to hassle the CB's?
