@goalie59 It just never felt or played out like a Spurs v Chelsea derby. No fight to win a ball, win an individual battle, or the match.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@ChubiDave @Sunmonutunde1 Most likely a way to bypass the press. But we didn’t compete for any of the 50/50 balls or win the 2nd balls.

Or maybe Alonso anticipated they’d put pressure on a young GK and he was trying to simplify his play and avoid potential mistakes.

@FutbolSW6 “We’re Chelsea……..” as if we have a divine right to end the season 38-0 and a goal differential of +250.

Unrealistic expectations and impatience.

@TheScore01 * 8 matches, not days.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

Exactly this. The owners have backed Alonso and given him what he wants. After 8 days, people want us to sack him and bring in someone else who won’t want the players Xavi brought in, we’ll have another group of players a manager doesn’t want, and then wait for a window where we try to reshape a team we just started reshaping.

On line Chelsea fans have lost all common sense and patience.

@TheScore01 Who needs away fans when you can get abused by your own home supporters?

What an embarrassment.

@TheScore01 When in any other season has the 9th match in a 38 match season ever been a “must win”?

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@TheScore01 He made a mistake in wet, difficult conditions. It has previously, and could have, happened to a goalkeeper of any age or experience.

Who among us has never made a mistake? How would we feel if people called us incompetent and wanted us fired or demoted after we made it?

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@Feisaloo_22 @TheScore01 No. We’re 8 games in to a complete change in philosophy. A total opposite approach to the previous 4 years.

If you don’t realize that and understand it, you can’t be helped.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

The only thing you remind us of is what a brainless moron you are. With the very post.

We cheer (support) the club. Win, lose, or draw.

Which is the polar opposite of staying silent until something that supports your negative agenda happens. You’re nothing more than a shit merchant.

@TheScore01 Xhaka coaching Sunderland to the bottom of the table now though?

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@TheScore01 Jesus people, we could be United supporters. Calm down.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@Blue_Footy Last weekend he was a managerial genius after beating Everton & keeping a clean sheet.

One week later, people want him sacked.

People need to calm down.

CPO permission is only needed for a (permanent or temporary) move away from Stamford Bridge (by 75% approval). CPO permission is not required for a redevelopment of the current site.

There is extra space to use now that the club owns the adjacent Stoll Residences site. And that wasn’t part of Abramovich’s Stamford Bridge 60k seat renovation proposal that was approved in 2018. So there is more configuration flexibility than there was previously. The club spent around £80 million for almost 2 additional acres of land to work with.

If the Earl’s Court Development Company made a space available for a stadium and plans got approved, the club would find the money to build provided the ROI was favorable. And as a CPO shareholder who has had many conversations on the subject with other CPO shareholders, a vote to approve such a move would likely be approved. But there are no EC plans for a stadium, the ECDC have publicly said there are no plans for one, and the residents in that area would likely vociferously oppose a stadium if one were to be put into any new plan for the site.

OK. The club we love and follow lost a match. And to make it worse, it was against a club we love to hate and rarely lose to.

But people have lost all common sense, context, patience, and perspective with this negativity. Fire the manager because he lost to Spurs? Ridiculous. Sell Penders to a Siberian third division club? Absurd.

After Everton last week, we were finishing in the Top 4. One week later, we’re finishing in the bottom 3. Our on line supporters are manic. These people have no idea what support means.

We lost a football match yesterday. We didn’t lose a family member in tragic circumstances.

Get over it. People have bad days, make mistakes, and can have a poor performance. We’ve all had that happen to us, received support from friends, family, & colleagues, and survived.

@thechelskikid @Tamac_tiijun @MlrPaul2001 What a brainless fool.

Rogers & Palmer are shit because they didn’t score.

But he’d rather have a goalless Hazard. Who somehow wouldn’t be shit for not scoring.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@sanjaypsachdev @TheScore01 Idiot.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@Tamac_tiijun @MlrPaul2001 @thechelskikid I never called you plastic. In fact, I’ve never called anyone plastic.

Rogers and Palmer are excrement players because they didn’t score a goal in one game? It happens.

The problem isn’t Palmer or Rogers. It’s you and your delusional expectations.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

@RJCafu I’m RJCafu out.

[𝙼𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 @SpectorMark]

It wasn’t a horror performance. Calm down.

One mistake on a wet ball in rainy conditions. You act like GK’s are robots and aren’t allowed to make a mistake. Every GK has.

We’re supposed to keep Sanchez as a back up? He didn’t want that, and Martinez was bought after Sanchez made error after error. How many GK’s could we send out on loan?

Maybe the actual problem is expecting players, managers, and teams to be 100% perfect and error free every match.
