The Official Chelsea Thread [Vol 2]
Discussion
This whole Lampard nonsense is getting on my bloody wick. Some of the tripe spouted by many of our fans is just unreal.
Let's get this right. Lampard and CFC had a business relationship. Employer and employee. That's it. He's a professional footballer and we're a professional football club. For 13 yrs or so he was a fabulous employee. Performed excellently at his job, scored loads of goals, helped win us loads of trophies. Superb.
CFC we are fabulous employer. Paid him millions and millions of pounds, and recruited other top class employees to work along side him to help him achieve his ambitions. It was symbiotic, but it's over.
The employer decided they no longer had a use for the employee. Right or wrong decision isn't important. That was the choice the club made. We don't owe him anything and he owes us nothing in return.
He can play for who the hell he wants. He can lie to his former employer and their customers about where he's going to work next. I couldn't care less. When he scored against us, it wouldn't have bothered me is he'd run to the Citeh fans kissing his badge. They're the fans of the club who pays his wages, and he's paid to give 100% for them.
My job, as a Chelsea fan is to get behind my players and give the opposition hell. Because I want us to succeed and Citeh to fail. If Lampard scores an own goal it wouldn't cross my mind not to celebrate, because he's a club legend and we shouldn't hurt his feelings. I'd jump up and down and laugh like a drain.
Tomorrow, he's our enemy and we're his. And that's just the way it should be. When he retires he can come back and be an ambassador or whatever if it suits him and the club. Or he can watch WHU, which is after all the team he supports. It's a matter for him.
But spare me all this crappy sentimentalist bulls
t. Tomorrow I want him and his team crushed like insects underfoot.
That's football.

Everything you write is boring bullst.
And people say Chelsea fans have no class.. t.Boring it maybe but bulls
t it certainly isn't. 
Abramovic converted all his loans into equity several years ago and the club has no net debt. Unlike Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man Utd and many others. The club doesn't have hugely inflated "sponsorship" deals and naming rights agreements as Man City do and complies with FFP. It just does. It may annoy the hell out of you personally but them's the breaks
Liverpool for example didn't comply last year. classy club that they are
Their player trading in the last 3 years has been remarkable and seen really quite modest net spend.
But more importantly every year that passes with the club being at the top of the English game and at the top table of european football sees the supporter base growing hugely. They are already very well supported in foreign markets and the inevitable consequence of sustained success is more and more kids wearing their shirts in your local park.
Takes decades of course to overtake the establishment but things change over time. In 1914 Sunderland and Aston Villa were the superpowers of english football. In 1960 Liverpool were just one of the herd. Arsenal and post Munich United were much bigger but 3 decades of success changed that. But in 2015 LFC haven't won the league for 25 years and counting, in time that will see them reduced in status unless they can get back to the top soon.

Disappointing we never held on to the lead especially conceding it like that, but tbh I would be happy with one point if it stays a draw
We've been poor for most of the half. I don't expect the score to stay level.Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
