Just saw this on the lunchtime news. Apparently four were asked to leave the train at Stoke? Shouldn't be too difficult to unpack this this.

 
Really ! Stoke-on-Trent !!

Good grief what will they come up with next.

 
Disgusting "news" report there from the BBC. Absolutely garbage, sensationalist journalism without any factual proof (yet at least) that this incident had anything to do with Chelsea. Pure slander.

They don't care about getting any proof, all they care about is trying to get a bit of controversial news.

West Ham had an anti-semitic incident ~2 weeks ago after their game with Spurs and I could could on one hand the amount of times I saw that in the news (surprisingly). Meanwhile, the Paris Metro incident has been reported on practically non-stop since it happened, and now this just adds fuel to the fire.

Doesn't matter if it's us or anyone else - no football fan should be implied to have any racist tendencies because of a handful of mugs who just so happen to support the same club as you. There really are so many bitter, elitist, "your club is beneath me/mine" c**ts on this planet who'll latch on to any excuse just to get a dig in. 

 
I'm sure Manchester Chelsea fans do exist but must say I am yet to meet one in my 20 years of following Chelsea home & away.

Not seen one shred of evidence to confirm they were Chelsea fans as of yet so bit of a non-story unless something else comes from it. 

 
Great article by Michael Duberry. A very enjoyable read and great to see him talk about his precious father and son moments. 

In regards to the other article I sense the BBC article contains many flaws as it's just making assumptions that Chelsea fans are up to no good. I smell something dodgy here as it doesn't seem very reliable whatsoever.

Strange thing, the Guardian were leading with the Chelsea fans story, and at the bottom of the article asking for information from witnesses, they even have a form you can fill in, and anybody can say anything they want. Today they are quoting some of those "witnesses".

Last week they failed to lead with the West Ham fans, funnily enough, and they didn't ask anybody for information, even though there is a film of the incident, a film which fails to show any of the perpetrators.

At the last count the Guardian had close to 40 articles published on the Paris Metro incident.

Agenda? Of course not.

Michael Duberry's take on things, his love of the club very much comes through in this piece:

Great article and it's interesting how balanced the reporting of that incident has actually been. Writers like Martin Samuels and Henry Winter placed it in the context of wider social issues and pointed out that the vast majority of Chelsea supporters were appalled by such things. Makes you wonder what those who mewl about agendas actually read.

 
so it seems there were no anti-Semitic chants at Wembley at the weekend? I would be astonished actually if there wasn't even one somewhere in the ground? If not I'm really impressed!

Haha I initially read that as 'depressed'

 
We have quite a few lads who go everywhere incl Europe, from the North West incl Manchester, we also have lads from Stoke.

Now i'm not for one min saying any Chelsea from those area's were involved(if it happened)

What i dont understand is in this day & age & current climate why did plod make them leave a train & not nick them there & then?

Also being a cup final chances are they could be lads who are in club Wembley or lads that used club Wembley tickets, so could be fans of any club.

 
"It's not yet clear if any Chelsea supporters were involved but if they were we will, of course, be assisting the British Transport Police with their inquiries," they said.

This sentence is funny. Makes it sound like if it wasn't Chelsea fans then they won't help with the police inquiries.

 
Meanwhile, Sky Sports News fawn over Dave Whelan all day long over his retirement, a man who made racist comments in an interview with The Guardian.

 
 i wonder how long it is til we hear the wall classic, 'no one likes us, we don't care' being sung at the bridge! f**k em all!

Supposedly they were signing songs about Dennis Wise and Zola and sings nasty songs about other teams so the assumption is that they were Chelsea fans. 

Only read this in one place though, can't remember where though... Will link it if I can find it.
