When will he learn 2 stick with one manager we are the laughing stock of the prem wish we could go back 2 the old days 13000 at home matches happy days

It's simple really, the man knows f**k ALL about football.

You can all call me ungrateful if you want, but wouldn't you be be pissed off too, if you unwrapped "Rafa" on

Christmas morning.

I am absolutely fuming with this farce.

RAFA, you are about as welcome at Stamford Bridge as I am in a ladies changing room.

Yep we'll said

If Roman knew as much about business as he does about football, he'd be a vagrant.

What hurts me the most, is that Di Matteo comes across as an emotional man, I can just imagine how gut wrenching it

was for him when he was called in for the axe.

What a horrible, horrible situation we find ourselves in (still could always be worse, but this is still a huge sham).

I'm pretty certain 90% of us here could have handled a season or two without a trophy, considering we were starting to build again, with

some young and exciting players, the future was bright.

Amazing how he has taken the European Champions and turned us into looking like a mid table Championship team, poor signings, poor manager, poor decisions. How can one man f**k this up so badly in such a short space of time....

Spot on with your post seven times

The obsession with f**king Torres is to blame.

The obsession with f**king Torres is to blame.

I said this the other day - When Fernando Torres leaves Chelsea, the management (whoever you may be....), players and supporters

will have a huge weight off their shoulder.

I've got nothing against Torres personally, but I just cannot stand the sight of him in a Chelsea shirt anymore.

He'll always be remembered for that goal, but it's time to stop living off of it.

Nobody with any integrity can stand by and accept the Russians betrayal of Robbie, enough already Mr. A

Torres like Sheva before him is a curse upon our club.

In this case the Russian is at fault.

What a sad sorry state of a club we have become.

We blame Kenyon, we blame Gourly, Buck, when we all know deep down they are just big yes men and are only protecting their own backs. They are just pawns. Our owner is satan, surely.

Some argue we sold our soul to the devil when he came here, he gave us the prizes we wanted.... Now we paying our dues in the 7th realm of hell. No direction, just aggravation it seems.

We have been served the biggest sh*t sandwich imaginable and we have been told to f**king eat it and pay up. No thanks.

All the meddling has been bubbling away for years and now its came to the surface. Why should the players respect what the FSW says when they know he will be gone and replaced by some other temp?

Oscar and Hazard must deep down really regret coming here to this bloody circus. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of players get fed up with the whole mess.

What a mess. A disgusting mess. We are hated by the masses and justifiebly so, if I wasnt a fan I would hate our club too, so sickeningly heartless and its becoming more soulless by the weeks. WE WANT OUR CHELSEA BACK.

I bleed blue, but since Rafa has come in I feel so disenfranchised and, whilst I fully anticipated us losing today, all I could do was shrug my shoulders and say, well f**k that.

I'll not be spending my hard earned money coming back to stamford bridge this season whilst this farce is going on. I'd rather piss it up a f**king wall.

Where have we seen this all before?

Oh right. At least he lost some weight since then.

Stand up and take a bow for that post Zola.

I just read that aloud. You hit the nail on the head.

If Roman wants to continue this charade and act like he is the only blue whose opinion matters, he can lock all the home fans out and watch the game on his own. He can watch FSW take us down if it satisfies his own vanity.

And Im wondering if some of the players are hoping they are next to get sacked. Surely for a man this impatient he isnt beyond it.

Is there not one of them pawns who could have stuck up for Robbie , my God are they all lap dogs ! I Never did like that man Gourly , I blamed him for the sacking of Ray Wilkins .There's just something about that man that I don't like !!!

I know what you mean, its never good to judge based on looks and demeanour, but to me he comes across as someone who would stand on your throat to get to the position he is in.

Wednesday night will be my last visit to the Bridge until he has departed.Our club is a total mess at the moment and it will take something big to get it back on track.

Agreed,he looks like a slimy,back stabbing,arse licking c**t.

Fata's got a twin then?

Fata's got a twin then?

The times just get sh*tter and sh*tter.

We are level on points with Tottenham, and we beat them 4-2 in their own f**king back yard just a few weeks ago and now we can't even beat Fulham at home. It's a joke. We were four points clear at the top of the table (with a chance to go 7 points clear) and we've blown it. It's the 1st December and we're pretty much out of the title race already. We're probably heading out of the CL and we have the WCC in a few weeks. I'm dreading it. Absolutely dreading it.

The last month or so have really shown what a sh*thole our club has become. Everyone hates us. Usually when someone says something about Chelsea I can defend it, but there is nothing left to say. Our owner has given so much to us over the last 10 years or so and for that I'm grateful. But he's turned his back on everyone, and the fans have turned their backs on him.

He's sacked a fan favourite and hired the Saddam Hussein equivalent of Chelsea football club. He sacked Mourinho when he was arguably the greatest manager we've ever had and will have. There is simply no excuse. Hell, RDM won the Champions League trophy, the trophy that RA so desperately wanted, and he still got sacked. The reason why he got sacked is because RA has his head so far up Torres' ass that he's never going to go. If he's not careful he will single handedly ruin this club. We could become the next Liverpool.

Never before has my enthusiasm for Chelsea been so ruthlessly ripped from my heart. As Zola said I'm surprised the players haven't out in transfer requests yet because we're a f**king shambles. There is no other way to put it. Until someone tells RA how much he is ruining this club it won't change, but nobody will say anything because you can't risk it. Nobody has, nobody will. Perhaps this is the start of a goodbye to success. I've never felt so low...

Do you think Roman will reimburse all those going to Japan? Or at least pay for their airfare? If I were going, I would travel Japan and scrap the games. I would have a better time not running the risk of watching a horrible side lose to an inferior club and chance ruining my trip to Japan... I watch these games with half interest now. All the wind has left my sails. I will admit I was adamant in supporting the club regardless of what happened but it is getting tougher and tougher to do so. Chelsea is truly in free fall! We were doing so well too and this billionaire has to come and ruin it all once again... I would rather him sell the club to a wealthy oilman from the Middle East or a wealthy Asian...

Hello everyone, Liverpool supporter here. And no, I'm not here to gloat (I obviously have no right to given the plight my club has been in for the past few seasons). I just wanted to come here and give my view, which is a fair reflection of many outsiders' opinions.

I understand completely where you guys are coming from, being frustrated with your club's ownership. I was there a few short years ago. It's horrible. The only difference being that at the time we weren't European champions and FA Cup winners. Your club still has lots of positives that you should be happy about; you have some great players that just don't seem to be clicking. You have a very good manager, who I realise is a contentious figure at the Bridge, but he is a very good manager. I would love to have him back, so if you're sick of him, I'll happily have him back!

In all seriousness though, I feel as though your owner is beginning to lose focus. He seems more erratic and more out of touch than he has been in the past, which is saying something. I loved RDM, as a player and as your manager. I couldn't begrudge him any victory he enjoyed with your team and I was happy for him because I knew that RA was waiting for the first opportunity to sack him, even after the CL victory.

I was talking with my mates last week (some of them Chelsea supporters) after Rafa was hired and I was the only one who predicted Rafa wouldn't last the season. Even my Chelsea-supporting mates, whilst annoyed he'd been hired, thought that there was no way RA would sack him before the end of the season. But as each game goes on I feel as though I've got a bigger and bigger chance of being right. At the moment, Rafa is your manager, whether you like it or not. He should be given the same treatment as any other manager, because all he has done is pick up the phone and receive RA's call. He didn't ask for the job, he was approached. He is not your enemy and I can assure you that he wants nothing more than to help Chelsea win football matches right now. He is a loyal man and for as long as RA is paying his wages, his focus will be solely on improving your club. If he's still in charge when Chelsea next face Liverpool, he won't sabotage your chances, he will be just as prepared as he is every other match.

Abramovich though seems like a headless chicken right now. His punt with AVB didn't work, so he ditched him for RDM, a club hero who obviously did not have a hope in hell of staying long-term right from the beginning. Then after your greatest night ever, he takes weeks and weeks to offer him a contract and at the first sign of trouble, he sacks him too. Where next? Surely Rafa won't last the season, so what happens next? There are rumours going around that Pep might head to City instead. If he doesn't go to Chelsea, or if he does but the team struggles anyway, what next? There are only so many world class managers knocking around. Surely it's getting to the stage where the only thing attracting managers to the club is the payoff that they'll inevitably receive within a year or so, because footballing enthusiasts would never go there knowing that they would be given players they didn't want and they would be out of a job after the first run of bad results anyway.

Not meant to be an attack at all, just an opinion. And like I said, I know plenty of others from outside Chelsea feel the same way about the club. I hope Chelsea don't suffer like Liverpool have. I wouldn't want RA's capriciousness to come back and bite the club on the arse while RA bathes in his billions. I just would like for things to return to normal, whatever that may be. It's not fun as a supporter of another team to watch a civil war begin to envelope Chelsea. It annoys fans of other teams with less money to see Roman throwing millions of pounds down the toilet on stupid things like manager payoffs, agents fees and other things like that while other teams are barely getting by. I just urge you as the loyal supporters of Chelsea to back your team, back your manager, and not be afraid to show RA your displeasure over his antics over the last few weeks/months/years. You are paying good money to watch your team, you have the right to complain when you feel your money and your time is being taken for granted.

Good luck for the rest of the season,
