Not that I am advocating diving or making the most of an opportunity , but tell that to Eden who could/should have gone over in the first couple of minutes for a banker of a peno and a sending off. Tell that to Mata who got kicked all over the place stayed on his feet and got f**k all. Sideshow was getting fouled and whilst he made a meal of it (after the whistle had gone admittedly) if it had been blown up earlier it wouldn't have got to that.

Until he goes , my club is tainted. Just the way it is for me.

The first half was good , ridiculous bottling out by Halsey with Hazard early on. I'm very happy with the win. Now a few issues I noticed , anyone else ? 1) Overplaying the ball , why not shoot when we are in and around the penalty box. 2) The inability/unwillingness to pick a pass to Torres when playing off the shoulder of the defender. Twice I seen us actually do it ,once pushed him out wide and the second time the ball was hit too hard. It was easy to get in behind them this way and we didn't use it/him enough , and just to add he was making decent runs IMO. 3) Pete I love ya , but stop firing the ball up to Torres he wasn't winning anything , we were making far better ground playing it on the green stuff. 4) Halsey (along with a few others) , whats the story with letting Mata get booted all over the shop ? Once again well done to the lads , and also just want to offer my support to our travelling fans who I thought were outstanding today. KTBFFH

Just gone for Mata. Torres was close enough , and I thought Victor had a good game. Lovely to see Frank back.

Best of luck with it.

Following on from a previous post it got me thinking about the craic or slagging that used to go on between us and the players during a game. The "lets all do a seaman" from MHL after being lobbed by Nayim is a perfect example , he took it on the chin. Great banter. Peckham Blue was saying about Merson having the craic. Maybe it was an assnail thing but Wrighty was always good for it as well. Southampton away , we got Dave Beasant looking for a fiver blowing around the penalty box again during the game. I'm sure something similar happened with Luca but he thought we were taking the piss. Paul Ince giving us the w**ker sign but hiding it after getting a shedload of abuse. I know there was lots more I just can't think of them yet. Any stories ?

^^^^^^^^^^^ Unfortunately this is where I'm at too.

He's got a point , its our own fault why we are in this position. I'd love it if things go our way tonight , but you know if not I will be over it in 5 minutes. Since he has arrived I'm indifferent. That said good luck to the lads and everyone going tonight. KTBFFH

I remember applauding David Seaman after he got lobbed by Nayim from the halfway line. Ok it wasn't so much as applauding as piss taking. "Lets all do a seaman , lets all do a seaman , la la la la" He took it brilliant. That said way back we were playing rubbish against some mug team and we started singing their name again as a piss take , Dixon scored straightaway and got a nice clap.

Don't know if you got my SOS , but thanks.

Well I'm going away for the weekend (not at HM's pleasure) and it would be favourable if this circus continues and when I get back Sunday night that he is gone. The way things are going , Sammy Lee will have taken over from Steve Holland and Big nose will have replaced GiGi. KTBFFH

Its been a week or so since all this began and my stance on this hasn't changed , in fact its hardened if anything. I haven't ever felt so disconnected from the clubs owner and executives because of this decision. RA came into our club almost 10 years ago , and I accepted this and welcomed this guy coming in with all his money. It could only bring good things , we could compete , we would win things , big things , the league and the european cup. We would de-throne Man Utd , Arsenal domestically and Barcelona , AC and any other challenger in europe. It would be my dream being realised , Chelsea top of the hill. Whilst we have won ten major cups or competitions during this time , I am now asking myself at what cost. It seems almost every season we push the self destruct button , we just can't seem to leave it alone. I always knew supporting Chelsea had a certain element of suffering to it , but I never realised self-flagellation was to become a pre-requisite. So I find myself asking the question , "would I still gladly accept RA ten years ago , whilst knowing what I know now?". Would I give back the league titles , the CL win and all the other highs ? The answer to the first is no , and the answer to second is yes. Reality is before RA came along I accepted Chelsea for what we were , where we were , and where we would be. We had lots of lows , but the highs we had were just as spectacular to me. Beating Spurs , Arsenal , Man Utd on a seasons campaign were massive to me , of course we only finished mid table or so but those wins those moments were enough. Maybe my expectations were too low , but I was happy with that and all my mates were as well. I never had any ideas of granduer for us , dreamed of it of course but it wasn't a requirement. This isn't a post reminiscing on the good old days and now being a spoilt brat throwing it all back in RA's face , its not like that. I have always had faith that he was and had our best interests at heart , maybe he does and maybe I'm wrong , but I can't help feeling that this last week he and they (Buck , Gourley , Tenenbaum) have shown outright disdain for the fans and Chelsea. Maybe I'm wrong to say this but Matthew Harding would never had let it come to this. He knew football was a business , but fans were the heartbeat , he was a fan. RA has invested a hell of a lot of money into our club , and yet I still feel like I have invested more. KTBFFH

More proof if needed of the idiots ru(i)nning our club.

Where do we go from here ? I've tried to articulate myself before on this and I find it hard to but here goes. Chelsea is more than a business , more than a club to me. I love Chelsea , its been such a major part of my life , Chelsea is part of my family. It sounds dramatic , but I never left throughout the bad years , I stayed , I mourned , I adored. The people in charge , don't understand me , how can they , not after this. I love Chelsea , my Chelsea , not this circus. I'm struggling to get my head around their ignorance towards me , towards us all. I honestly can't move on until he is gone.

Ah leave it out Dave Mitchell was a leg end

Completely disagree with the view that the fans are wrong. Here is a man who disrepected us and the club , he has made no effort to address this , to be honest it makes no difference to me if he did or not I don't want him here. But it might have appeased some. No class , embarrassing , uncomfortable ? Yep that's him , not the fans.

All hail the messiah.

I think back to some of the really low times over the years and over a quarter of a century later I'm still here. This is just another low , love refuses to allow me to go elsewhere.

This may come as a bit of a shock to some , considering my previous posts. No , now please f**k off you bin dipping sh*tehawk.

^^ Seconded Amputechture.

Its like you got in my head and unscrambled what has been going around in there. Its 2 days on and I'm still not sure whats going on. I'm going to tell everyone , I will never support Benitez , never ever and I can't wait til he is gone.

I've not seen the TV , cause I'm afraid of seeing him with our badge. Herself wants to know why I'm watching "I'm a celebrity get me out of the jungle". I wish I was in the jungle
