The Official Chelsea Thread [Vol 3]

I can handle losing. It's our style of play that I find so boring. Pass, pass, pass then nothing.

I think Sarri has got away with it in the first few games and now he's getting found out.

I'm so bored I sold my Fulham tickets last weekend and I've just sold my City tickets for Saturday.

I never thought I'd get bored of football, having previously arranged my whole life around the fixture list, but it's of diminishing interest.

I trust the system if the board back him with the right players. The chances created show we could get the big scorelines in, and certain passages of play are close to that brilliant Napoli side - but we need to look at the market.

Unexpected bonus just before half time... although if City have that sort of possession in the second half it doesn't bode well

This is going to be a long 15 minutes............

I may have to withdrawn my previous post

Hopefully the idiots get dealt with quickly.

Didn't see the game unfortunately due to a friend's birthday, expected a hiding so pleasantly surprised! Typical after losing to Wolves during the week, hopefully this result will get us back on track.

Has it been confirmed this is hate crime then? Or are they doing what a lot of people do at football matches all over the country? Not say that abuse of any kind is right and just wondering why this has been singled out before we even know what's been said.....

Shouting 'you black ' into his face?

I hope that doesn't happen at a lot of matches up and down the country.

Can't disagree with any of that. WTF is wrong with some people?

[jcremonini]

Racist abuse is abhorrent but I have to admit I find any sort of abuse at football matches abhorrent. Even if those guys weren’t being racist, how can anyone take a game of football so seriously that they feel the need to vent their spleen every time an opposition player dares to go anywhere near them ?

A bit of banter is ok but too often I see people taking it much too far.

I just hope those knuckle draggersb in the video are named and shamed but I can’t help but think that Sterling will get even more stick next time for having the nerve to subject himself to racism. Chelsea, to their credit, do a great deal to combat racism in the game and it’s unfortunate that, despite this, it is still happening.

+1 Exactly my thoughts too. They were like a pack of snarling dogs and deserve all the punishment they get. I don't want to go to a football match and see idiots like that.

[uk66fastback]

What are the stewards doing about it though - little or nothing from what I see at games on the TV.

I saw those guys yelling like that during the game and it beggars belief to be honest that anyone wants to stand their hurling verbal abuse at anyone instead of just enjoying the game, If racial abuse is proved, and lip reading it suggests it was, just ban 'em for life, simple.

Presumably they could be prosecuted too.

[Leicester Loyal]

Everyone is always going to shout abuse at a football match, that'll never change.

If it's proven that is was racial abuse, then the idiot should be banned for life. From the video I saw, it looked like either 'Manc' or 'Black'.

A combination of tribalism, dumb fk ignorance and having nothing else of importance in their lives?

The irony being it was sparked by a Luiz / Sterling coming together in which Sterling was the innocent party but DL did his rolling around / feigning injury act. The ref rightly gave a City throw to the crowds annoyance

[easytiger123]

I'm sure it's just a matter of hours before this dreadful cretin is named, followed by the inevitable stories of how he isn't a racist and his best friends are black and how deeply sorry he is for this one-off moment of madness.
