Did anyone see such a thing? This is the first I've heard of it. The Mail is unsurprisingly careful on how it's worded the allegation, saying that "Some fans even claimed there were scuffles in the stands" - am I right in thinking that this is a load of bull, designed to stir up antagonism and sell papers?

Neil Ashton?? I'm sure I've heard that name before. Let me guess, he's another writer that dislikes Chelsea.

And this article about the boycott from fans at Chelsea, which unfortunately, seems true...

I didn't see a thing,was in the MHL. In fact their supporters were nowhere near ours,they didn't sell out their allocation and the seats closest to ours were empty and had lines of stewards separating us/them. More tabloid bollocks.

They're referring to scuffles between our own fans over torres being booed

There is so much crap in that article, detailed references to all sorts going on within the dressing room without even an attempt to claim to have a mystery source let alone an actual quote from a real person.

 

Such a sh*t rag that paper.

All im happy with is we are giving Buck and Gourlay a piece of our mind, its easy to target rafa and torres but the root of the problem is the board.

mclovin83, that's how I see it too. Isn't it interesting how they're now saying that we're at each others' throats when in fact rarely have we been so united?

Many fans are helping the tabloids on this one.

It's actually funny just how bad the articles in the Fail can be.

 

My favourite bit regarding Torres was:

 

his team-mates have lost count of the number of times he has told them he wishes he was back at Liverpool. Some of the Chelsea players wish he was.

 

Didn'y bother to even attempt to make it sound credible by referencing any source what so ever.

 

serioulsy it's just trash.

I'd say that article is probably rather accurate. The clubs a mess at the moment.

Many fans are giving just as much effort to Torres and FSW.

Don't know if the article is true or not, but given the atmosphere at the club right now I'd be inclined to believe it.

I think the writers just seem to clutch at straws because they've seen the club in a tiny bit of turmoil. But this is what the press love, they love to target Chelsea and try to accentuate what trouble there is at the club....

DM should be treated as more a comic than a serious newspaper.

Same article in the Independent.  Source of scuffle rumour was Trizia Fiorellino, the chair of the Chelsea supporters group.

 

 

'Toxic' Chelsea mood grows as Fernando Torres boos spark scuffles among fans

not sure this Trizia is doing us any favours by blabbing to the press...yes we're fcuked off but don't give them easy headlines to have a pop at us...club are doing a good job of that already...and as for boycott?...so a handful of fans aren't going to go, hardly a boycott...I think these fans are being a bit petty to be honest and achieves nothing because there will always be someone else to take their place...attendence figures since FSW turned up shows this...anyway, at least when you are at the game you can voiceyour displeasure, rightly or wrongly...

I just fail to understand how the board have not yet realised how many bad decisions they are making. Bunch of con artists the lot of em.

If they do not know by now, they will soon.
