All of a sudden people on here have found their voice. Why can't we get behind our team when we win, to the same extent as we moan when we draw/lose

ED are the club preparing for one season without Champions league surely it will have been discussed? our fixture schedule is just far too heavy? {Ed002's Note - I don't know that any preparations have been made.}

Chelsea lose more points on the chase for 4th place, lumped behind Newcastle who's entire squad cost less than Torres.
No moving forward, still rely on Frank Lampard penalties.
5 managers since Mourinho and still no where near having a squad to challenge for the Prem.
About to get stuffed by Messi and Barcelona over two games.
Chelsea still can't contain Dempsey, still have no manager and Roman still expects money to fix everything overnight.
Melbourne CFC is still delusional.
Hmmm chase for 4th. Got a nice ring to it.... 4th. How about we try:
Liverpool gained more points on their quest to end the season above Norwich, who's entire squad costs less than Jordan Henderson.
Steadily moving into the abyss that is mid table mediocracy.
No longer a threat to any team in Europe.
Still can't contain a man who's goal scoring record is more laughable than Liverpool kids going to university, Caldwell.
You guys are too much, coming on here just for me. I love the support I do, but how about we try and do it when your team matters, not when they are fighting against teams that have just been promoted.
Melbourne CFC
We both have our flaws, Chelsea's simply cost more

I still find it hard to understand why we let Ballack leave, we miss a player like him, a solid midfielder with amazing ability
FT9
And to add insult to injury we replaced him with Ramires
Ramires is no where near ballack in terms of replacing him totally different players, ballacks better
09 Apr 2012 22:28:32
If we were playing in my garden I would shut the curtains.

Brilliant.

The midfield is real whack I must say, can't wait for the summer. We certainly don't deserve champions league football next season. let's hope without the champions league we can do some proper business in the summer to push for the title next season and many more to come. Kudos to Fulham they totally deserved at least a point. ELI
09 Apr 2012 22:07:22
My Personal opinion on Di Matteo is that he is sooo Anti-football. Classic italian tactician, maybe in the genes. I've said it before and will say it again... He hasn't got the bravery nor the bottle to take risks which is crucial.
He loves sitting on 1-0 leads rather than looking for goals that kill off games. Today a goal from fulham was coming and how foolish and stupid do we look now especially when we sat on that lead.
We don't deserve Europa League, never mind champions league football.
Can't wait for the season to finish.
New manager and new players is a must. I can sacrifice a year without champions league football now.
Shak
Without champions league football chelsea are less appealing to the top players

Dont forget Torres.
09 Apr 2012 22:02:40
What kind of game was that? Was there a gameplan, really? Embarrasing. Got more than we deserved.

09 Apr 2012 22:01:09
Players just aren't good enough nowadays, major overhaul needed. And no, this isnt a knee jerk reaction, the writings been on the wall all season. Who's to blame ??
Jm10
09 Apr 2012 21:56:45
Kalou was awful tonight! performance was slack but that is what we get by competing in europe, 1 day off. Cheers Premier League but when do United play? On Wednesday. Yep there's no favourtism in this league. We are 6th now but still in with a shout.
Keep the faith!
Scotty.
09 Apr 2012 22:06:26
Another awful performance. Why has RDM rested Mata, what's he resting him for? The FA Cup Final? Because I would rather be in the Champions League next season, than in the FA Cup final this season. And I try to be optimistic, but we are not going to win the Champions League. I know the Tottenham and Barcelona games are 'glamorous' big matches but the Barclays Premier League is way more important right now. If we don't get 4th spot, then next season we'll be in the same situation as liverpool are now. And play like tonights perfomance against Barcelona, we will get embarrased.
09 Apr 2012 22:06:09
Too many unforced errors. We just give away the ball. No clue at all in midfield. Probably the quality of players we have. Started with JM who emphasized power vis technique and now because of age the power is gone.
For next season we need players who can pass a ball forward our whole midfield needs replacing, mikel essien meireles 4 mceachran pjanic moura
09 Apr 2012 21:53:34
Just not good enough boys now even the Geordies are ahead of us....embarrassing
The only difference is they have strikers who know how to score,until we get new strikers in well struggle to compete.
Barcelona is gunna be fun, wish we still had ballack sometimes
The Geordies are a good side,Torres and Carroll are the worst buys this decade,they got shut,time we did the same.
Shevchenko.
Worse than Carroll and Torres for me.
Like Torres, Shevchenko was great at his club before Chelsea, but he was shocking and worst of all, slower than John Terry.
He cost £30 million played 48 games and left for nothing. Torres and Carroll will re-coup some loss, but Sheva was the worst by far and Mourinho had to play him for Roman the fool with money. Just my opinions.
09 Apr 2012 21:53:22
Absolutely disgusted with that game. Fulham deserved the 3 points. We do NOT deserve champions league footy next term. Disgrace. Will always support the team and look for positives but today there was no 1 player who put in more than 60% effort.
Melbourne CFC
Agree with that, apart from the fact that I thought, just like Saturday, Ryan Bertrand worked his socks off. It's a shame the rest of the team didn't put that much effort in cos if they did we'd be up the with Man Utd.
^^ LF07
Oh ssshhhh you fool.
60% effort , I'd never accuse John terry , frank lampard , Cahill , Ivanovic of not trying. They're knackered after play 3 big games in 7 days.
RDM got the team selection wrong.
We needed Ramirez's energy in the middle not out wide.
Should've started mata and taken him off when game was won.
We'll beat the Geordies at home and spurs will bottle it.
Let's just hope we've got the legs and minds to get over the line.
Cfcmatt.
As a neutral, I enjoyed the game, actually..
What's with Chelsea only able to play on the counter attack now? Very predictable.
Lee YNWA
Agree completely! We had such an opportunity to close to the 4th. Its the same story being told repeatedly after every other game. We aren't good enough to play chamions league next year. Let the top leadership team take disqualification [to CL] as a "hint" and work towards bringing about some change. Our star players can boast of great quality but none show consistent top notch performance in the ground. I just hope with a chamions league disqualification, people realize what we are missing as a standard top quality club and address some of the "neglected" issues like getting new players, spotting new talent - within and outside club etc.
CfcMatt - You still have to come to Anfield..
It's going to be crucial for you I think..
Lee YNWA
They're all crucial lee.
Think that'll be 0-0 cuz both of us are s##t.
Cfcmatt.
Ahhh matt? You 'fool' Lampard Terry and Cahill did not play all 3 of our last games? 2 in 7 days should not leave you 'knackered'.
Although the team selection was poor it was the players on the pitch that made it all the poorer. You wanna claim players were 'knackered' but then insist on having mata start? He has played all of our last 3. He has played most games this year.
Melbourne CFC
09 Apr 2012 21:49:45
We play such boring slow football and don't create any clear cut chances. Too many of our players such as mikel lampard and merieles are happy to slow the game down to much and pass sideways or backwards. People go on about Torres not scoring but how many times does he get played in, in a game. It's a joke. Seeing spurs lose today should have been the incentive to perform tonight but we were rubbish.
Ads
09 Apr 2012 21:41:07
And thats what happens when you let a team attack you for 40 minutes. Embarrassing performance tonight
Melbourne CFC
Very embarrasing, funny as hell though, how you can spend all your time mouthing of on the Liverpool side when your 6th and completely ouplayed by Fulham i don't know, come back when you've something to mouth of about. LOL
MR EM
Ok 'MR EM', look at the league table, we're 6th and you're, well, we can't see you from up here.
Ye weve won the premier league,,, 3 times how many have u? and who cares about ur history half of ur fans never saw any of it
, well you seem to type about Liverpool's history quite a lot.
5 European Cups and 18 League, you're mouthing about 3 after you spent millions on your rivals.
Facts are you've been bad ever since Mourinho left, Grant had Mourinho's team and almost got you Europe. Ancelotti was a good manager and Roman sacked him.
AVB wanted to get rid of the old guard but Roman took Chelsea back 10 steps but chicken out of the rebuilding process.
When did you last win some Silverware? That's all that matters. According to you ;)
09 Apr 2012 21:38:49
Watch the match back again and count how many times Torres touched the ball and how many times he gave it away?? This guy is shocking!!
SELL FT9
Mate you offer absolutely nothing to this site. Pack it in.
Melbourne CFC
The first post is spot on,Torres should be got shut of,if they gave him a ball on his own he still wouldnt score,poor excuse for a striker.
Yes Torres didn't play well, but it's probably cos he fell asleep up there on his own, got the ball about 10 times all game, can't expect him to do anything with crap service. And there's no point playing Torres without Mata, cos Mata's the only one that passes to him.
Rb11
Fans have been making excuses for Torres for months,the fact is he cant score goals,his touch,instinct,confidence is all gone,either loan him out or get shut and get a proven striker in.
09 Apr 2012 21:33:31
Meireles is non league
SELL FT9
He had a better game then lampard mikel and kalou
That's why we sold him to you.
ps i don't usually come on to other sites mouthing off, but we have to suffer Melbourne, Chelski and Shed End all day, you lot can have it back.
MR EM
'Mr EM', to be honest I'd rather have one of your old crap players (Mereiles) than be a mid table team...
09 Apr 2012 21:30:32
Torres has had another great game again!!
SELL FT9
09 Apr 2012 21:25:52
He hasn't got a kalou wht he is doing!!
09 Apr 2012 20:50:16
A clean sheet and we win. Simple as
Jm10
09 Apr 2012 20:33:00
Why do we sit back off teams so much? And why do we play it round the back with so little urgency... its costed us all season, need some pace to our passing and movement.
Melbourne CFC
Because your players are cr*p and well past their sell by date, don't worry i'm sure your owner will by some more overpriced players looking for a big pay day in the summer
MR EM
We play it around at the back to try and draw teams on to us and give our midfielders some space.
Think you should stick Aussie rules mate.
Cfcmatt.
Matt watch the bloody games mate. How many times did our defenders 'create space' by playing it round? How many times did they just play kick to kick than bang it long?
Carroll, henderson, downing, suarez

watch when you lose tonight, you will all be on here crying just wishing you had the history and prestige of the mighty REDS
Andy_LFC
Another sad scouse fan having to come on here. They bore the f**k out of me. Always talking the same old sh*t. King duschbag kenny has lost it. I just wish u had the balls to admit it

And then when we beat you in the
FA CUP FINAL You'll be on your site crying just wishing that your club had a future.
And oh yes... The Fa cup final will be after the end of the season and you'll have found out if ur in the top10... haha lol good luck
Rather have a future than a past
I didn't know that being mighty and prestigious meant sitting mid table level on points with Norwich city! Go steal a car...
mikec
09 Apr 2012 17:19:21
Remember when we drew 0-0 with Norwich at carrow Road, and we got laughed at and criticised now they are level on points with liverpool, I guess they are a pretty good team spurs just figured that out. Big chance for us, I just hope the guys can somehow get a win against an inform Fulham side. Praying for the best though. Up Chelsea !! -BLUERAY-
09 Apr 2012 17:15:36
I don't want anyone rested, a win is absolutely imperative
Jm10
So RDM rests Mata! ;)
09 Apr 2012 17:13:14
Alrite lads, its Chelsea's time to go fourth in the table hopefully! Mo
09 Apr 2012 16:56:28
2 goal win and we are back in fourth. Gotta stop doubting myself and learn how to read the table.
UP THE BLUES
Melbourne CFC
If we lose, It will be so difficult we will have to beat Arsenal and Newcastle who look better then us atm.
Only need 1 goal win because we have a better goals scored
CHACKERS
I kinda think we can't lose again this campaign.
Melbourne CFC
Dont think you will beat Toon Arsenal or fulham
you looked awful against Wigan your strikers and midfield are pants and defence haha Anyway we will see . Toon kid
09 Apr 2012 16:24:38

1-0 to Norwich, come on you canaries, tottenham will probably still win though

Clear penalty for Norwich turned down and spurs score 30 seconds later. Norwich are bossing the game though.
Melbourne CFC
09 Apr 2012 15:00:17
Barca have their fixtures played around with to allow for better preparation for our Champions League match! Our FA won't move our game for fear that the attendance wouldn't be as good on Friday night as it would be on Sunday! This would apparently make Wembley look bad...can't have that now can we! Its a disgrace, but one that will hopefully have a positive impact on the players attitude!
13 {Ed002's Note - I agree it is wrong, but that is not the reason it was not moved.}
09 Apr 2012 14:09:52
I watched Nick Powell play for Crewe against Morecambe earlier this season and instantly though he could be one for the future, but not with Chelsea, we have enough ability in the wide areas both young and old, Powell should play for a premier league club and would suit a team like Fulham, what are your thoughts ED? {Ed001's Note - I rate him highly, he is a very good player and can play right across the midfield and forward line. With the right coaching, he could easily be good enough for a top 4 side.}
09 Apr 2012 14:04:28
How many matches do we think ivanovic is going to be suspended for for punching that wigan player?
El nino
09 Apr 2012 12:19:20
What we thinking today fella's? Im going for a 3-1. Think Torres will start with kalou on the left sturridge on the right. Midfield of frank, meirelles and hopefully romeu. Think Mata will start on the bench, needs a rest. Defense of bos, luiz, cahill and cole.
Not my ideal 11, but i think with rotation policy of late will probably be close to the starting team against Fulham.
Melbourne CFC
Also am i the only one aware that if we can bang a few past fulham we can take 4th.
Melbourne CFC
Probably should've double checked the table before that last post. Thanks for sticking it up so quickly ed.
Melbourne CFC
09 Apr 2012 10:45:16
Watching the match between barca v Real Zaragoza if they play like this at the bridge I reckon we could score 5 easily
They defense is SHOCKING with a little bit of pace they'll struggle your option will be welcomed
I guess you mean opinion
