Doesn't appear so . Another night of lunatic selections, tactics and play. The Chelsea Board deserve way more criticism than Rafa. We all KNOW what a useless pile of **** Rafa is, you only have to spend 10 mins watching us play ( if you can last that long ) to see how he has destroyed the heart and soul of our team. The Board ,on the other hand , seem blind to the obvious, and continue to support the fat twat. When the plonker arrived, there was a discussion on here about priorities, the consensus being that NO European team wins all their domestic and European titles. Smarter Clubs than ours pick their preferences early and choose their teams appropriately. Not us. We therefore play loads more games than all our PL opponents, and now see the results. Again, dumb, dumb management. So Buck, Gourley et al, get rid of the hopeless and hapless Rafa TODAY, or say bye bye to 4th place and maybe, he says hopefully, your positions on the Board as well. Get off your fat arses and DO something.
half way out of the europa and as good as out of the fa cup. big question is can we hold on to 4th spot
Too right, they deserve the Football VC. Then of course there's the poor sods with tickets for the next leg !!!!
Not good enough, no desire, passion or just anything going forward really. I still hang onto the hope that we can get the job done next week(somehow).
Chelsea should refund the 600 their travel and match tickets... It was woeful. The board needs a complete turn around and Rafa, Benayoun, Torres need to go...
would be a kind gesture, imo if you go to football you take the risk. It's just a shame it's so far away, perhaps a free ticket of choice for a game at the Bridge but I guess most of these lot are ST holders.
What's there to worry about? We will get tonked, it's a question of by how much not if. I'm more worried about our next league game, West Ham.
I have in my time as a Blue watched us relegated 4 times! Never in those hard seasons did I waver in my commitment to the boys on the pitch or the club! Tonight we may be 4th in the PL, still in the FA Cup and Europa League Cup, but I feel less passionate about them at the moment than I ever have been. I'll always be a Blue but I wont be happy with them until we rebond our squad with a sensible, likeable manager!
I think everyone would settle for a member of the board to tell us what is going on, what will be happening for the rest of the season and what our future plans are
For me the disillusionment began with Ancelotti's sacking, right through to AVB's appointment and sacking to where we are now. Under RDM at least there was someone to paper over the cracks, which is exactly what he did. He was someone the fans and players could identify with, Benitez is none of the above and his appointment stripped the soul of the football club. Apart from Mata, not one of them could hold a candle to our team of 7, 8 or even 3 years ago. Those were real men, real football players. There was a sense of shame if the likes of Ballack, Drogba, Makalele and co lost to a team like Steau and invariably a response. A sign of a good team is how it responds to a setback. You can bet your life Man U will show a response and fight till the dying whistle, meanwhile you can also bet your life we will fold as soon as the first goes in, I was lucky to grow up during a time when defeat at Old Trafford (or to United in general) was rare but I've never been so sure we will lose there as I am with this group of players. Counting down the days till the season ends.

You and BM2 have said what an awful lot of us feel. Always a blue, but **** does it have to be so hard ??????
It is quite tough but putting it into perspective with clubs like Pompey etc.. we're doing fine. It's just incredibly frustrating when you put in all the money to follow the team home and away to then see the players not giving a **** at all... Play for the shirt and show some passion... that's all we want... And the board... well.... its completely ****ed up and needs shaking up this Summer.
It's amazing to read some of these comments considering you added a CL trophy to the cabinet, only last season.
