At Stamford Bridge on Saturday came the sight of a team that has well and truly lost its way. At this stage of last season Chelsea were top of the Premier League and two wins away from the title. Now they are 10th, with defeat by Manchester City their 11th of a truly miserable campaign. The hosts were outfought and outplayed by Manuel Pellegrini’s men and few could blame those home supporters who headed for the exits some time before the final whistle or those who booed shortly after it had blown. Their side has all but stopped trying and the rest of this campaign is an exercise in killing time. Even Guus Hiddink, the interim manager, admitted afterwards that, while it remains arithmetically possible for Chelsea to qualify for the Europa League, they have no chance of actually doing so.

 

The Dutchman went on to state that he will give young players such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who was the home team’s best player against City, further chances to shine in Chelsea’s remaining five matches and, with two of those to be played at Stamford Bridge, a thought occurs – why not reward those season-ticket holders who decide to turn up for the visits of Tottenham and Leicester? It could be a sizeable gesture, like money back on their tickets for those games, or a small offering, like free beer and doughnuts, as Leicester’s owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha provided for all supporters before the league leaders’ match against Southampton at the King Power Stadium earlier this month. Roman Abramovich can certainly afford either move and it is the least the Chelsea owner could do given the club’s exorbitant ticket prices and the lack of value endured by those who have regularly attended matches at Stamford Bridge – a thank- you for the thankless task of watching one of the worst title defences in recent memory.

 

Those poor Chelsea fans

Are they the two that were just appointed to the board? God they make us like a well run club. They absolutely deserve it.

Wow, it took a relegation confirmation for those idiots to realise it or something?

Genuinely feel sorry for the fans of any club who put up with worse s**** than us, even Villa.

 

Wonder if there was a split about the new manager?

I don't, they fucking loved us going down and had a big show of it. Hope they fold.

This is a myth though. A few of their fans took the piss, that's all.

Radio5 reporting Lerner woudl let Villa go for £75m. jees that im guessing would make them a far better investment than us- allowing money to be spent on team, and a major problem to us if we go down with them.

We're not gonna be a cheap club to buy at all. Ashley is gonna want far too much money to walk away.

Vardy getting an extended ban would not only be a disaster for Leicester, but for us too. Clearly they need him and we need them to wrap up the title early before Spurs come to SJP on the final day.
