Our record at Stamford Bridge over the past few years has been pretty good considering how strong Chelski have been. Will always remember the FA Cup replay a couple of years ago - the atmosphere was incredible, one of the best I have known. Wasn't a fantastic game in terms of quality, but the Baines free-kick was awesome. Went down there with no expectation of winning so win was all the sweeter for that.
On a totally unrelated front, I've never understood why the away fans are now put into the old Shed end which used to be main end for Chelsea. Can't think of any other club where the main home end has changed. Probably says a lot about Chelsea and their lack of understanding of history and tradition etc.
 

I so badly hate Chelsea, they represent everything that is wrong with football, and the Chelsea supporters I know represent everything that is wrong with modern supporters. I hate the way the play crap football and spawn wins on a regular basis, I hate the way they win loads of trophies having no plan, no direction, no team spirit but just getting by on bags of money, I hate the fact that idiot people consider them to be a bigger club than Everton based on all of this.

They're a horrible soulless club and if I could see one premiership team go into administration or even fold completely it would be them and yes that includes the Rs.

It might seem easy to agree, and in a way it is.

But I've got a good mate of mine who's Chelsea. Pre-Abramovich he always used to tell me it would be his dream to win the title before he died (he was in his mid-20's back then ffs), but he said he just couldn't see how they would ever challenge, even with the likes of Hoddle, Gullit, Vialli & Ranieri managing them. They had some decent players back then too: Zola, Flo, Hasselbank etc.

Then the money came, and at first my mate was ecstatic at winning the title so imperiously. But something nagged at him. Eventually he stopped going to Stamford Bridge and started going to watch AFC Wimbledon instead. He said he re-discovered his love for following football, and he wasn't the only old-school Chelsea fan at Wimbledon games either.


Maybe there's a lesson or two in that:

1) not all Chelsea fans are the vacuous type who were brought up on Abramovich.
2) us Evertonians pining for success may bring more disillusion than happiness.


Still don't know where I stand on the issue, but there's definitely more to it than your post, mate.
