Chelsea fans giving a good account of themselves whilst abroad yet again...

Chelsea fans barred after derogatory Salah chants

 

There's a serious culture problem with a portion of their fanbase. Pathetic behaviour. I feel for their decent fans who get a terrible reputation by association.

 

Exactly how we were against Arsenal and Wolves. Madness how we've gone from clinical taking few chances to incredibly wasteful making handfuls of chances.

 

They're really poor misses as well. Rashford absolutely shinned one (not the easiest to hit, but he's a good player!) and Dalot (I think) made a complete mess of a free header in the box.

 

It's a fact that Chelsea are one of, if not the, worst club for it in the UK - the incident in Paris a few years ago the biggest one I can think of, but Sterling incident at Stamford Bridge, anti-semetic chants at a Europa League game, an incident where a group sang racist chants and sexually assaulted multiple women on the London Underground in December and now last nights' Salah chants all from this season alone.

It's a culture problem in all of football of course, but Chelsea fans are seemingly intent on being head & shoulders above the rest when it comes to this shit. Just read this article below and it brings up a lot of recent UK incidents that I was not aware of from several PL clubs (including Arsenal fans racially abusing Kalidou Koulibaly in Napoli last night):

From parks to Premier League: the shocking scale of racism in English football

 

Points deductions and games behind closed doors in the only thing that stops this. The governing bodies and clubs need to come together and bring forth such severe punishments that fans who spout this bullshit will be forced to make the decision of continuing to yell racist insults, or to actively hinder their team’s season.

 

Players need to walk off the pitch collectively, go on strike, etc. as well

 

Happy relegation day.

 

Sorry to see you go.

 

Get that dickhead out of football forever! That is how he behaves as a MANAGER!

 

This is the worst we've played in a long time

 

I don't know why some people get so many second chances when there are so many decent managers out there. Seriously.

 

diabolical win from United today

 

West Ham should have won by 3

 

one of the strangest game I’ve ever seen

 

Minnesota's stadium is beautiful

 

Agreed:

 

Has Salah gone a single game this season without an embarrassing dive

 

C'mon Chelsea, for once in your lives be cool...

 

I for one am glad that Liverpool won. City are boring, rich cheats. Liverpool winning the title would be good for the league. Also, Chelsea not picking up any points is crucial for United.

 

Having to deal with Liverpool fans is worse than rich cheats though

 

I just can’t agree with that at all. Maybe it’s easy because I don’t know any football fans irl, but so can’t stand City. Obviously I hate Liverpool as well, but they’re a lot more exciting than City, who have been a snooze fest in comparison.

 

I would rather anything than Liverpool winning. That's literally worst case scenario.

 

The bitterness of you all brings me joy.

 

My main annoyance is that Arsenal keep playing on a Monday night recently, so I can't watch them due to band commitments. Pretty gutting but it will be worth it if it counteracts the Europa headache teams always suffer.
