Well, if nothing else, it's top lelz for the rest of us. I'm annoyed that Saudi Arabia have bought their way out of relegation but it's fun to see you and Leeds battling it out with Burnley for the drop.

I’ll be honest, I think we deserve to be relegated. Not for the fans, the proper fans who sell out every away game, but for the club and the shambolic way we’ve been run it would be the reward it deserves. I’ll be gutted and gutted for the proper fans, but it would be deserved. Like 1998 and 1994 we are relying on clubs being more shit than us to survive and I’m just not sure they are. At least we had a bit of fight then.

The Rafa benitez who won 1 league game in 14 prior to being sacked?
Last night underlined my worries with lampard. He played some lovely attacking football at chelsea... with better attacking players. And had some pretty bad defensive performances... with much better defenders. He's brought a bit more positivity to the club for sure, but it's hard to pick everyone up after so resolutely shitting the bed against spurs.
The arrogance (or stupidity) of the board was bringing in a manager in Benitez who was almost universally hated, at first by the fans and then by the players. He isolated players he didn't get on with, didn't play our best attacking fullback, subsequently sold him and generally turned the mood around the club sour. We had a shit run of injuries, I'll grant him that, but with Rafa it was always going to turn toxic after any run of bad results, let alone ONE WIN IN FOURTEEN FUCKING GAMES. If he was that great a manager he'd have worked out how get a few more points, I'd have managed better than that and I'm a twat. We lost at Norwich for fuck's sake! I'm 99% sure we'd have been in a better league postion right now if we'd never appointed Benitez and gone straight for lampard.
