The Chelsea supporters thread

You better elaborate mate. You’ve lost me here.

I was just thinking of @Nembo_Kid and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy up in East Belfast celebrating with their fellow Chelsea fans - The thought then struck me that most of the Loyalist community up there, who detest Ireland/Irishness, all have Irish Surnames … Bizarre.

726

Funnily enough speaking of the good folk of East Belfast, their long serving Member of Parliament, the Right Honourable Peter Robinson flip flopped between supposedly supporting Spurs and Chelsea. Just like Laurel and Hardy here.

727

I thought he was a die hard Chelsea man and often ribbed wee Martin, who was a Man Utd fan, over the years.

728

I thought that as well for years and similarly heard the stories of the banter and texts between Chelsea supporting Peter Robinson and Man U supporting Martin McGuinness. When Robinson retired Enda Kenny presented him with tickets to a Spurs v Woolwich match at White Hart Lane. Most likely a case of Kenny not knowing his Spurs from his Chelsea.

Hi Ewan, good piece.

731

Mr Chelsea gives us the lead against Watford.

I’m welling up here.

732

Oh John, John, John :smile:

733

A horrible mistake from Mr Chelsea and it’s 1-1.

:disappointed:

734

Mr Chelsea gifts the equaliser to Watford.

735

Has Mr Chelsea made a sufficient number of appearances this season to get a league winners medal?

736

Dave!!!

737

Think so. The rules have changed now. You don’t need the minimum nine games any more. It is left to the discretion of the club. So he will probably get a couple.

738

A late Fabregas goal has restored Chelsea’s lead. 4-3.

739

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy, @Nembo_Kid, @Tassotti - Celtic are linked with another one of your young players. A Belgian attacking midfielder who was on loan in Spain until January. Can’t recall his name but apparently Chelsea have given him an ultimatum to sign a new contract or be shipped out. Do you know much about him?

740

Yes.

Conte will set a Premier League record for most wins in a season if Chelsea beat Sunderland next Sunday?

Not bad for a guy @GeoffreyBoycott was adamant would be a failure and claimed that he was getting “found out” in a “serious football environment”.

Hopefully he avoids the sack next season unlike the last Italian manager who won the league.

743

Unlike the last 3 premier league winning managers in fact, or is it 4?
