Lampard plays for City now bruv.

Sounds a bit Monty Python

Surely only @cliveo is old enough to remember Monty Python?

@dan It's a horrible year to be supporting Chelsea. Aside from all the winning of course.

So yes dan to answer your question. I do realise how perfect this is for characterising Chelsea fans.
It was bad enough our captains a racist, striker's a thug, manager appears to need mental health care and now the best known bullying, racist idiot in the country makes it very public in a week when he's all over the news that he supports Chelsea. A perfect storm.

Sad thing is Clarkson is popular because a lot of people don't know how to handle their own casual racism. He says some of the stupid things lots of people are thinking. If his comments were allowed to go unchecked it would be a sign society had lost it's way. As it is maybe he's educating the masses.

Still, if we win the league the rest of it will be forgotten in time (maybe a long time). Thing is you don't really choose the team you support (see the rulez) and it shouldn't change you to fulfil the characterisation either.

Cracking result for 'Boro.

Adrian doing very well to keep Arsenal out right now...

Oh and that Phillips goal, fuck me.

Also are Sunderland shit? I'm not sure.

Bamford's a little cunt, good at football though.

Very well put. Clarkson for me represents all that is wrong with this country. Maintaining the status quo of the elite , mixing in casual racism, sexism and xenophobia. It's all a bit of fun though, bottoms up, caps donned. He is part of the loaded generation and should of been fucked off when they demolished kings reach tower.
How can so many thousands of people sign a petition asking him to be reinstated. He smacked someone at work ffs. How is that in anyway acceptable. I'd love to see all the pricks that signed that petition smacked in the face by their bosses on Monday morning and see how quickly they go to HR.
God I wish it was me that he punched

I think I'm happy with that result.

We were outplayed by Norwich today and the lack of Martin or Bent as an outlet is hindering our playing style. As much as I like Johnny Russell, he hasn't got the physical presence to play through the middle on his own.

Really happy for young Jamie Hanson on his debut. Looked assured on the ball, took great set pieces and wasn't afraid to take on a challenge. Hope he gets credited with his goal from the corner and it isn't recorded as a flap from Ruddy.

How the hell is this not a second yellow or straight red? I dont know. Norwich defender was last man...

Hugely grateful to Cardiff and Brighton today, they've made the situation a bit more manageable for us.

I'm going up to Watford next weekend, but I'll be amazed if we get anything out of it.

^^I know it's less fun this way, but I agree with you @roboto.

Definite yellow, red if he's through.

As I've always said, Tim Sherwood is definitely the man to keep us up. What a transformation. We look a different team.
3 wins on the bounce. terrific.

Poyet is a dead man walking

That's the league decided, then.

I'll take that. Never a penalty (maybe). If we manage to stay up at the expense of Poyet that would be even better.

Hasta luego Manuel

Just nabbed tickets for Deportivo vs Córdoba next month... Relegation battle... It'll be shit...

I know slo mo makes it look worse, but that looks intentional to me. Straight red.

Jesus, City you choking, bed-wetting belters. It was frigging Burnley.

Fuck me. This is tight.

Clearly got the ball.

Airhead in reply to @MultiGrooves

You mean we scraped past them and lost to the future finalists? They took it very badly didn't they?

Clearly the team lost the plot last night, if you play football yourself you'll recognise the way they lost track of the game, lost concentration.

When Chelsea beat Barca or Bayern Munich did their managers cop the blame, no they didn't. When we beat Liverpool in the League Cup did Rodgers get the blame, no. Instead you want to focus on a Chelsea player standing on someones leg and how Mourinho put him up to it by creating a "fortress mentality".

As a fan of Chelsea and Mourinho I see he overreacts to the "unfair" aspects of the game, but overall his reading of the game is good and his interviews are sane enough until he gets goaded into saying something controversial. The media don't love him they feed off his ability to provide headlines.

Took it badly, you say?

You're manager kops the blame because he ALWAYS makes it about him- win, lose or draw:

jose's modus operandi is that common place; he is widely known as the most ungracious loser...I really can't tell if you are serious. When you spend all pre game talking about how your warm up was harder than any game Ligue1 that PSG have played, flak is the natural outcome.

I really don't follow your reasoning of certain players not liking the cold. Willian was fucking boss against you twice and was bought from a club in siberian snow right?

Which? Gerrard or Terry's slip that lost the Champion's League final?
