I'm not really looking forward to this match tomorrow. Will go, but not very excited about it. Let's see how the atmosphere is at the Bridge.

I think it will be toxic again. I won't be going. The next game for me there is Newcastle.

I hope you get to see a better match back there than the wet annoying crap at Wembley on Sunday.

With Nkunku out maybe give Ronnie Stutter a spot on the bench. He has scored a decent amount of goals for the PL2 team (9 goals in last 11).

Please help turn the Bridge against the ownership. We need to match going fans to make it so unpleasant for them they will stop going and learn they need to change their ways.

Yeah, last game at the Bridge was Wolves, wasn’t it? Tomorrow and next at home Newcastle, it can be bad. And in the middle, I will go to Brentford. At least the away days (not that going to Brentford is a long way, but we make the most of it) are good fun?

At some point there should be some kind of protesting banners as Palace or German fans do. But I feel that there’s more apathy than anything else, I wish it wasn’t like that, but that’s my perception.

Yes, Wolves at the start of the month and lost again 😑 It feels like months ago now.

Dad is at Brentford too at the weekend. We need some points there but that will be a hard match.

What’s this forum coming to with a title like this. 
f**king disgrace and so immature, just looking a reaction as usual. Well here’s one. f**k off.

I strongly disagree with that sentiment. It’s wrong in every way I can think of. Still everyone has their own opinion. 

I can't stand another final this season, but if we are going to get knocked out, anyone but Leeds, so screw them and put 4 past them.

Nkunku out is a blow. Whether it works or not we need to blood some even more junior players. Simply have to rotate. 
 

We also have to have an alternative, good or less good, for Gallagher in the 10 spot. 
mudryck, madueke, gilchrist chalobah can all come in but more is required. Some pl2 players will have to be on bench and get minutes even though Leeds are a good side. 
‘I’d like to see one of the midfield 3 on the subs bench and then coming on for the last 40 minutes. Shame casedi not available. 

I also don’t like the thread titles. Let’s just have “Chelsea  v Leeds fa cup and the date/time”.

Indeed they are Oz, indeed they are. Maybe the ownership will yet prove many of us wrong.

Thank you Goose, much nicer than calling me a bindipper, like the last time you decided to go on a tangent about me.

Now given how I feel about Liverpool I was rather angry when I made this threads title, and rather embarrassed by our team. So maybe it was not my brightest moment.

Still I don't get person about these things as I mentioned the last time.

If I remember right you ended that back and forth discussion we had by saying something like you had for better things to focus your energies on than a forum and on myself, and I really should have more important things to focus on that yourself or this forum. 

So let's leave it there again, shall we?

I cannot edit the threads title. Only moderators are able to edit something that has been up for more than 30 minutes. 

If you feel strongly it messaging a moderator, either Mod himself or Loz, to ask them to change it would be the way to go.

They are also the only two who are able to ban people as well.

May not be PC to say this, but for me Leeds are the Derby game for me.

My dad took me to a Leeds vs Chelsea game when I was a kid. We were in the Leeds end, and I celebrated when we equalized.

Dad stopped me quickly. Leeds won 3-1, a few Leeds fans looked like they wanted to debone me as they celebrated goals 2 and 3.

Then as time went on and we faced Robinson, Bowyer, Kewell, Viduka, ah I loved beating Leeds and hated losing to them.

The game you shared though, that's where it all started.

Now I would rather have them in the PL the whole time, so we can keep getting those games with such an atmosphere. Think it brings the best our of both sets of fans.

That 1970 Cup Final was the first game I ever saw (Wembley not Old Trafford, saw the replay on TV). I was only 7 and at the time the tackles and stuff didn't register with me at all - just that Chelsea won. I still feel Leeds are the derby game goes right back to that. 

Watching tonight's games I really fear for us if we end up in extra time........

Leeds have been scoring a fair few goals on their recent run. But equally they concede quite a few. I can see this being a higher scoring game. Cue a 0-0 with penalties 😉

Half my family support Chelsea come from Chelsea and then moved to Yorkshire hence me supporting Leeds. 

But I'm struggling to understand what Leeds you have been watching/reading about. In the last 9 league game we won them all and conceded 2. We have only let in 27 this season the best defense in the championship. 

And I don't often say this but I hope to god you win tomorrow.

I know there is a rivalry between Chelsea and Leeds but with hand on heart I can say at least you aren't Spurs. And that can only be a bonus.

Don’t think I’ll just leave it there.

I find your match day titles clearly embarrassing. Ravenous Wolves, Ful of Ham and several others. Pool got the full title of course. What do opposition fans think when they visit. Run by teenagers.

Then there was that prancing around like a teenage cheerleader tagging people to reply to that muncher. That ended well.

Rallying match goers to gang up against the owners. Why don’t you write a strongly worded letter from wherever.

I could go on but what’s the point, I disliked you’re (looking a reaction) posts since you came on here and it’s only getting worst. Can’t even ignore you as you keep getting quoted or opening silly named threads. For me, and I know you do have people on here you interact with, you have ruined the forum.

It’s no longer the place for me, maybe too old now for TSE.
