[Albion] Hating Chelsea

[albionfan37]

I want United to thump them tonight as it means our match may be on the box Sunday.

Enjoy it, I think they'll be a different animal next year.

It’ll take more than one summer and serial bottler potch to fix them that’s for sure

 

[Simster]

I think Pochettino will get them back into the top 6 next season.

A few people are making this assumption but I don't see it happening at all. He's got a stupidly large squad, people like Colwill returning (some of whom won't want to be there) and no idea which of those he should keep. Crap performances and a bloated squad (esp with no Europe) will mean morale on the floor I suspect. He will also decide there are glaring parts of the squad that need strengthening and will be unable to make a difference as his hands are tied by FFP, while nobody will want his cast offs because of wages.
Who will want Raheem Sterling? Even Mason Mount. He'll be on silly money and his contract expires in 12 months. Good luck with getting huge amounts for him.

It is only going to take even a good manager at least a year to sort out that mess. I will be quite surprised if Chelsea are challenging for top 6 next season, because that gets ever harder (Newcastle, Villa, Arsenal, Brighton and even Brentford are all unlikely to struggle IMO).

 

[DJ NOBO]

How can you hate a club that provides so much enjoyment and laughter to so many people?

 

[Midget]

It'll be tough to bring new players in, tough to hold onto those who want to play quality football, and tough to get rid of the lazy wage leeches.

I wish them all the luck they deserve*


*which is the sum total of jack shit.

 

[Gwylan]

I wonder where the experts will be placing us in their pre-season predictions.
I'm guessing they'll have us about....6th?

Man City
Man Utd
Arsenal
Liverpool
Chelsea
Brighton

I've had a look at the betting for next season and every bookie has Chelsea above us. I'm not a big betting man but I certainly wouldn't back Chelsea at 12-1 - it will take more than one season to sort out that mess. Quite a few bookies have us above Spurs though, which is highly amusing.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

They were abject last night, shame.

 

[sheebo]

What's this? They took Al as well? I mean Bruno and Ben was one thing, but Al? Bastards. I hope they get relegated next season.

Yes but the rumours about Al may have been true in which case there could be a court case at anytime and I’m glad he went - I like the way I randomly switch to French mid post

 

[Icy Gull]

As their refusal to free Levi comes to fruition my dislike will ramp up even further

Yes I know that is very Leeds

 

[aberllefenni]

The "Welcome to Llanfarpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" sign has been amended with "Twinned with Chelsea F.C., the only place with more L's."

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Regrettably I was once a Chelsea fan, aged 10, but in the great days of Osgood, Bonnetti, Hudson, McCreadie, Houseman, Harris, Webb, Hinton, Dempsey, Hollins, Weller, Cooke, and Hutchison.

Especially when they out-dirtied Leeds in the 1970 Cup final.

Fortunately I saw the error of my ways, and it didn't last.

Geez! - 'dirty' doesn't even begin to cover that shower of thugs. You can see why they had the following they did though! I have hated Chelsea long before they pinched our manager and staff. Violent chavs is never a good look.

Osgood was one of the best players I ever saw at The Goldstone though, TBF.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

I still want their Augustus Gloop owner to carry on screwing up. Like a rich kid with no mates who saw what the popular kid was doing and tried to buy them all. No class, no clue. And they do have a fair few self entitled fans.

 

[The Fits]

Feel very similar. Hated them for a while like nobody else but life is too short and they got their comeuppance. No interest in mid table teams and looking forward to our new RDZ/Pep inspired rivalry

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I am ashamed. I am full of remorse.

But I saw the light - alleluia

[Questions]

I read that as:

I’d rather feed my knob to a woodpecker…

Greater spotted ?

Or did the cream clear it up ?

Lesser spotted after the cream.

 

[Weststander]

Contrary to rumours that FFP would tie CL-less down financially in the transfer market for years, it looks like Boehly has said “F@ck FFP”.

Beating PSG to the signing of highly rated defensive midfielder Ugarte. Just £53m.

Next stop, world class strikers from Italy.

The PL has another club owner who really doesn’t care for small inconveniences like rules.

 

[AlbionBro]

I liked Chelsea when Peter Osgood played for them, otherwise I have very neutral feelings about them. We had a thing about Orient for a while, that lasted all of a season or two.
Who will it be next year, Crystal Palace aside? Newcastle? Luton? Villa after our spicy clash?
