He hurts us every time he puts in a sh*t performance Val!

But I agree, dislike, but never hate.

Samuel Eto`o for me. And Jokanovic. For different reason.

I don't think I've actively hated any Chelsea player. I've been incredibly frustrated with a lot of them and wish we would sell them.

The only person I've ever really hated who represented the club was FSW.

Forgot how much I hated Jokanovic.

I wonder whether Saudi will come knocking for him this summer. They can easily pay his wages - apparently he rejected 900k a week to play for them. They would also be able to pay us a chunk of change for the transfer too. The only thing is if we lose sterling, we lose one of our oldest players bar thiago, who is likely also leaving. 

I don't think Chelsea are brave enough to do it. I also don't think Sterling wants to go to Saudi, because he still wants to fight for an England spot.

If he wants an england spot then I'm sure there will be some English club willing to give us 35m for him. But they'll be paying him a lot less in wages. 

He's not getting into the england team with us.

I honestly used to think his instructions were to come on, pass to the opposition, get booked, piss us all of.

I have a personal hatred for Bosingwa for f**king up our European Cup lift.

I remember that, but you should cut him some slack for that when he can do this....

 

The only thing I remember about Jokanovic is him getting sent off for deliberate handball for assuming he'd been fouled and picking it up.

I dislike Sterling like everybody else but he doesn’t even come close to Lukaku. Or Courtois.

Courtois' behaviour in the lead up to him leaving would probably make him my most disliked player we've had, Lukaku a close second.

The difference with Sterling the guy is just sh*te and has been overrated all of his career, can't hate that a mediocre footballer found a club daft enough to give him £300k+ a week.

Winston Bogarde. Apparently he was staggered by the amount of money we offered him, once arrived he wasn’t rated by various managers, couldn’t find another club that could match his wages so decided to “ honour his contract “ for four years. Don’t hate him for it but the most obvious piss take I can think of.

I forgot about Lukaku. Okay I retract my previous post about not actually hating any of them. I hate that prick.

I don't care mate. This was unforgivable. We were all already in euphoria getting ready to see Terry+Lampard lift it, and this absolute sh*t house blows the birthday boy's candles. 😭

He scored a cracking free kick for us in the charity game against Vanuatu

Can't find a single reason to like this guy. Never in my life have I hated a Chelsea player more than Sterling. You know that extra five a side player that you take in your team because one of your friends is a bit late? That's Sterling. 

I f**king hate him.

You two do realise Lukaku exists... Right?

But with Lukaku (and also Courtois), I didn't actually dislike them whilst they were CFC players. Their actions since, yeah, but not when they were playing for us.

With Sterling, from day one I never wanted us to sign him and I just haven't warmed to him. Don't like his attitude and he has the face you would really like to slap. A real prima-donna.

This might explain some of his half-hearted performances perhaps he is annoyed Gareth Southgate hasn't called him. 

I wasn't keen on him either the racist spat with one of our fans didn't help though more that without another top attacker like Suarez along-side he is not that good.

I do recall when we bought him we were struggling to buy quality players and he was the best that was available.

I honestly think his attitude is blown way out of proportion, he's no different to most modern footballers. He's the classic case of a english footballer who's been targeted by the scummy media to paint a bad rep of.

Gate-crashing a party he was invited to. 

I know what you mean, though. Pretty thoughtless by him in that emotional moment. Never my favourite player, but he did excel himself in Barcelona and Munich, to be fair.

In hindsight, I don't really mind Courtois. He was promised to be sold to Real so that he could be with his family in Madrid. We just stalled, f**ked up the Allison deal, and had to find a plan B until we sold him. 

 

Life is too short to waste energy hating footballers...

Oh, by the way Dean Saunders and Andy Townsend are c**ts. 

Bogarde for me.  4 starts and 8 sub apps I think, but contracts work both ways. He has said since retirement that no other club would pay the wages he was on and he was looking after himself. 5 year contract back in 2000 on 50k a week was very good money.

Not getting Allison and then spunking £70 million on Kepa was a big marker to our decline. Mendy had a good first season but ended up worse than Kepa. We’ve been used to some great keepers this century. Cudicini, Cech and Courtois. Those 3 won us points. The keepers since have often lost us points.

That does remind me that Kepa was another one I couldn't warm to. Never rated him and then after the League Cup final debacle, I had no time for him. So he's second, behind Sterling!
