The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

[Norf Tyrone]

Still doesn't help me understand people's thirst for Chelsea to say 'sorry' in public, as opposed to United's treatment of Sam Bethnal. Can you explain it?

The groundsman was the one who abused Evra or did you miss that point?  Whilst the racist element may not have been proven as no-one else was close enough to overhear what was said, Bethell behaving like a tr**p was never in doubt.

Chelsea were found to have failed in their responsibility to ensure that their employee (Bethell) conducted himself in an orderly fashion and refrained from abusive and provocative conduct and language.

You're wrong on a few things there, but in the main.

Phelan (I think) accused Bethell of a racist remark. The FA said he didn't.
Ramires accused Clattenburg of a racist remark. The FA said he didn't.

'Chelsea must apologize' they say.
United... well it appears that they have different rules.

Benitez....2012 version of The Damned United? Chelsea all over them in the first half, trying to give the ball to the waste of space that is Torres.

[Captain Obvious]

Rafa Benitez should sell Torres and start Sam Bethnall.

[AQMP]

Benitez and Torres will both be gone by the end of the transfer window.

I'm delighted for Rafa.

[Jonah]

I'm delighted for Rafa.

I was right,you are 12.

The thing is and the point you seem to be missing is I'm pretty sure Rafa really doesn't care about Chelsea. He is getting a fortune in wages to stay until the end of the year,no matter what happens he knows he won't be there next season.
I'd say he is a happy man as it's win win for him.

it's obvious no-one wants Rafa there - the players or the fans







Why aren't you watching the United game EC?

You have to laugh at Chelsea fans wanting 'their Chelsea back'. A racist, extremist, pro-Nazi mid-table club with an admirable ability to raise their head every 20 years. Why like? Stick with the Russian.

Better than the Chelsea who sang 'sieg heil' at every opportunity or told Avram Grant to go get lost

He was a fan of the famous Graham defence.

Read that about Grant.

The thing is, is that Neil Ashton is reporting it, and he has been spot on with a lot of things over the past few weeks.

Scary!!

Yes, successful for a long time but let him down in the end.

Scary!!

Read that he is looking to bring him in to 'advise' Rafa. LOL that should go well.

[Norf Tyrone]

We could make history here. We could have the Champions League, Europa League and the World Club Cup all in the cabinet at the one time.

Rafa's a genius!

[AQMP]

You can cut and dice the stats about points, goals scored etc but Chelsea were clearly the third best team in that group.  No complaints.  BTW while I doubt they will win the CL Shakhtar Donetsk could surprise a few "big" teams.

Well done to Celtic too.  I'm sure most observers thought they would finish bottom of that group when the draw was made.
