For me third season where it looks like we do not have a realistic chance of challenging, no shame in that.

Perhaps useful to state I started supporting in the late 80's in more challenging times financially for the club, many recent joiners under the CFC umbrella are used to continued high honours.

I would say we haven't become Arsenal yet we could become like Arsenal if we are not careful.

We lose a few games and all of a sudden we've turned into Arsenal.

Jesus wept our trophy cabinet is busting at the hinges, when it's empty, then compare us to the North London bottlers.

Turned into Arsenal is laughable, as you say  Coco let's look at trophy cabinets for starters, secondly we haven't moved into a soulless bowl of a stadium, we are still in our rightful home and the bridge is turning a bit old skool now with all these Lego stadiums being slung up everywhere, which I like.Thirdly our fanbase isn't a replica kit, scarf waving, theatre going, latte drinking fanbase either. Finally we haven't got Arsenal TV either ( the finest comedy show since only fools and horses). We are London's first, London's Finest.

Cappuccino over latte anytime, yeah baby! 

Still, a couple of leaders in the JT/Dennis Wise mould wouldn't go amiss...

Amen to that. We need a nasty side to our game.

Good point. I started following as a kid in 1974/75...

Not our greatest season.

I think this season is one of real change.  I hate it when we lose. This season I'm prepared to be patient and give Frank time to build.

Where we finish (and hopefully we win FA Cup) and how we spend money next summer are to me,crucial for the next few seasons going forward.

Looking on the bright side it was David "da penalty" Luiz's best game for Chelsea since the CL final. His sending off made it a lot harder for us. 

I would like us to buy him back just so we could try and sell him to Tottenham.
