Your A RUDE C*NT .....aren't you Mr Ewell CFC ........crawl back into your hole or wherever you've come from ......oh by the way I was in the Matthew Harding Lower for the Watford match ...and I'll be there for the upcoming Southampton match .....not that it's got anything to do with you. I've been a regular at the Bridge since 1962....Supporting Chelsea FC ....unlike you running down fellow Chelsea fans.....you've obviously got nothing better to do with your time ......whilst your sat on your huge arse. 

No need for that at all, he wasn't being rude.

Someone got out of bed the wrong side this morning. Regarding your earlier post- the one with all the exclamation marks !!!

' The benches got torn up when we played clubs we didn't like'. That happened once, 32 years ago against Sunderland. Are Sunderland a club we didn't like? No is the answer. We didn't like the result that's all. If you think that would happen again now that's up to you. Who gives a monkeys if you've been going since 62- I started in 74 meself.

Bully for you, hand yourself a gold star, take the rest of the day off. What a clown

 

Today is 11th November. Armistice Day in 1918.

Less we forget.

Johnny B. A fine player.

Just checked date of game. 1980/81 season won 2-0 crowd of 24,947 I bet with the pay turnstiles on the terraces it was more. Where were we when we were sh*t!! Packed east stand, I was still in my shed apprenticeship 4 years under my belt!!

Came across a good article in the most recent backpass magazine.

It was about our friendly match against Red Banner of Hungary on Wed 17th December 1954.

The match kicked off at 2pm and was shown live on the BBC.

We drew 2-2 in front of 40,452 spectators.

Three penalties were missed during the game, 2 by us.

There is an account of this match on www.hungarianfootball.com

 

 

It was unusual for any club match bar the FA Cup Final to be shown live then.

However Hungary had destroyed England 6-3 and 7-1 in the previous 12 months and 6 Hungarian international players were in the Red Banner team.

Their captain was the brilliant Hideghuti.

Hungary had defeated Scotland 4-2 at Hampden shortly before this game.

I'm not sure how often we used that blanket, but remember when we played Arsenal 84-85, it had been a bitterly cold week in London- Bates had been on the  media about this frost blanket, straw over the pitch, heaters etc.

The game got played but it weren't much of a spectacle- the pitch was hard as iron.

An Arsenal mate came with us that day, and in the car going home after we all agreed that by far the most comfortable player was Charlie Nicholas.

Talking of which, West Ham away got froze off the same year ( Luton was another one from a couple of years previous- found out on route on the M1)

Following the announcement of the game being cancelled- it came over on the tannoy at Towet Hill,

Like a lot of Chelsea we went to Highbury against the vermin.

Graham Roberts, who went on to have a cameo with us, completely wiped out Charlie Nicholas early doors, sending into an advertising hoarding head first. Makes me wince just thinking about it

I remember the Luton game being called off me and my mate were going we were still at school. I still had the programme from the 3-3 game in 1980 so I rang Luton up and when the woman said the game was off I started swearing at her saying your scared of Chelsea coming to your town ha ha. I was gutted it was postponed I really looked forward to Chelsea away games especially bringing non Chelsea mates who were blown away by our away support.

He made some uncalled for obnoxious remarks about me ......So...Oh yes as far as I am concerned ...."Mr Ewell CFC is 100% a Rude C*nt".........basically Mr Ewell CFC lives in his own smug world in Posh Ewell and thinks he's a smart arse ......he is the biggest type of C*nt going ...and he's been brought up as spoilt brat,  protected along the way by his Big brother.

Mr Ewell CFC can F*ck right off......there's no need for his type to come on to this forum and run down fellow Chelsea supporters.....if you want to defend Mr Ewell CFC C*nt that's up to you .....more fool you...nothing against you Coco

F*ck off Mr Ewell CFC .....you asked the question about the benches (as you were a child at that time, when your dad took you ...which is fair enough) and all did was give you the insight........."there's no need for you to tell me that I don't go to watch Chelsea and I don't sing" ........FFS ...how can you say that when you haven't got got a clue who I am ! .....

Yes I do attend matches and Yes I do Sing ...........you owe me an apology for your OBNOXIOUS Remarks. 

It was my generation that laid the foundations of our worldwide reputation...we were supporting Chelsea in the shed end durung the late 1960's , travelling all over the country with Eccles and Greenaway  ....whilst you Mr Ewell CFC were still in nappies hiding in the corner of your mums kitchen behind yer big bother) ......youve got all the "latest fancy insulting catch phrases " which might go down well with people like coco and in the office where you work.....but you ain't "proper old school Chelsea Shed End" .......You need to Learn to show some respect and stop insulting fellow Chelsea supporters aka me. 

Goodness, how a remark about how Bridge visitors of today differ from the ones in the old days can lead to senseless namecalling and bragging who was born earlier. 

Shame, this was such an enjoyable thread.

Grimsby away 83/84

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regarding Grandad from Kent, sitting in his bath chair in a care home with his crate of brown ale, shouting at the nurses ( demanding respect off everyone just cause he's old/- paranoid- thinks the world is having a go at him)

This silly little spat ends now.

love and peace to all Chelsea fans

Trying to get a few insults in before you declare the spat closed isn't really helping.

A 'return game ' took place at Ibrox on Friday 14th February 1986.

Freezing cold, some of the Stadium lights failed at one point and Rangers just edged it 3-2.

A few decent players in this shot.
