MHL Gate 15 - Rafa Out!!!

Cardiff already up obviously (should be fun for the Met when they visit Stamford Bridge next season). Hoping that Watford get the 2nd spot (Zola and Chalobah. Also been to Vicarage Road before and it's a decent short trip) then I'd be happy with either Forest or Palace to go up through the play offs.

Reckon it will be Cardiff, Watford and Palace!

Anyone else seen this :

Frankly disgusted once again with Chelsea Football Club. Three Chelsea supporters who have never committed an offence in their lifetime, followed the club over land and sea now are going to prison and having a 10 year ban from Chelsea matches just for a tiny little smoke grenade to try and whip up an atmosphere.

Meanwhile a man raped a 14 year old girl last week and was allowed to walk because apparently "he knows no better". And then there's people walking around with knives stabbing each other, why don't the police go after them?

The fact that Chelsea have put an even bigger ban on the supporters shows their complete lack of care about any of us that actually support the club. Feeling increasingly disillusioned with the club with what's been going on recently, and this just adds to it.

The legislation used to convict them does not apply to any other sports in England, so are football fans in general just singled out by the Police?

FQ - Would this of happened anywhere else in Europe? I'm thinking definitely no, absolute disgrace.

Yeah right...

We look like the League 1 side, not Brentford, who complete credit to them actually look like they care. If Benitez isn't gone after this then I'll actually begin to suspect that he actually was hired just to tear us to pieces, we look absolutely awful.

FQ - How long after the game will Rafa be sacked, I'm hoping they'll give him the chop as he comes into the dressing room

Romans sacked MUCH better managers than this idiot for far less. Come on Roman do the right thing for once and kick them both out by the end of the month.

Greatly disliked both before they arrived, view of them hasn't changed a bit

What do we reckon gone by February?

Hope so

Shows how much say we actually have left in our club. Cheers Chelsea, you clearly don't care about any of the people that have supported and kept this club afloat for years and years.

MASSIVE step backwards!!!

I'm going to be one of the first to say; Benitez out, you're not wanted here

What reaction will he get on Sunday when he's unveiled, i'm thinking complete silence.

Who's going to replace him?

Hopefully it will be Lescott, Cahill, Jagielka and maybe someone like Caulker or Jones.

Guys played his heart out for England, always, playing for England always meant alot for him and the FA have pretty much told him to '**** off' after the years of his service to England.

At least he can concentrate on Chelsea now though, and i've still got loads of respect for Hodgson for not bowing down to the FA and the Media and supporting his player.

Yet another episode in the FA's long history of being completely useless.

Sorry if you've already seen this but what on earth is this supposed to be?

Have Liverpool now turned into a Reality TV series for Americans? I'm actually quite embarrassed for Liverpool supporters having just watched that.

Cahill!!!!

Yep got to that stage where everyones just having a laugh now, this is just like the 80s.

Come along, come along, come along and sing this song, we're the boys in blue in division 2 and we won't be here for long!!!

Final score?

And a team who have turned up just to get the 90 minutes over and done with, we deserve everything we've got so far. Absolutely gutless and lazy from our players, particularly the midfield and defence.

Fair play to Athletico and Falcao they are looking brilliant, although we are awful, worst i've seen us play in a while.

Oh well, two cups we've thrown away already.

Now's the time that we need Robbie most, would hate to still have AVB in this situation.

Thought all this racism stuff was done with now, but people can't seem to accept that JT has been not guilty. So much so, that they're being racist themselves and causing old Rio to make a complete **** of himself.

Bit stupid considering everything thats happened recently, and espeically since his mum is white. I'd expect Ashley to be the bigger man and just leave it though.

Now i'm pretty sure I could hear and others have confirmed it that quite a big group of the Liverpool support were booing the national anthem, anyone know why? Makes little sense to me...

Also fair play to most Liverpool fans I came across afterwards they seemed surprisingly gracious, and I doubt i'd of been if i were in their shoes.

Great Result though Come on Chelsea!!!!!!

Came on as a sub today and rightfully got a fantastic reception!!!

Had a pretty good game as well, threw himself about alot, bit like that legend JT.

So what with all the anti-Chelsea stuff people usaully come out with, thought the club should get some recognition for helping him come back like that where most clubs would of just left him.

Hopefully he can get a few starts next season. Super Sam!

Cmon the Chelsea

I know its non-football, but alot of people have been talking some absolute shite about Britain today, making up all sort of allegations, and while you were doing that, Six of our lads were killed today...

They're heroes, and have my utmost respect, my thoughts are going to their familys at this time.

Gourley and Buck out NOW! Those two idiots have made too many bad decisions at the club now, they're absolutley clueless about football, we might as well just appoint Lampard, Cole and Didier as joint managers they seem to think they own the place.

Realistically who can we actually get at the end of the season?

So much for stability...

Ok West Brom definitely deserved that, much better than we were, and ok AVB isn't a great manager at the moment, my problem today is the players, how little effort they decide to put in because they're a bunch of money grabbing c*nts. Tough luck if they don't like they're boss, he's in charge they need a reality check, they don't give a sh*t about the club or us as fans.

I've started watching Royal Marines: Mission Afghanistan recently and its unreal how these football players are in there own little bubbles completley out of touch with whats going on in the world. Massive respect for the Marines, near zero respect for alot of footballers.

So does anyone agree ?

Oh and do you think this is it for the manager?

That once again journalists are being d*ckheads and trying to make a story out of nothing, as where they said all the Chelsea fans were singing that, it was actually the Birmingham fans taking the p*ss out of AVB and us, so just wanted to say that its complete bullshit some of the stuff that they are coming out with...

FQ - If we do sack AVB, does anyone seriously think that any other manager will be able to turn this team around, espeically with some of the awful players we have?

No cutting edge at all, don't think we actually ever really looked like scoring, everythings just slow sideways or backwards, we're screaming for some creativity in midfield or behind the striker, Mata is blatently wasted out on the left, and Sturridge did absolutly **** all, think I saw him touch the ball once or twice in the entire 90 mins, at least Lukaku and Luiz did alright.

Badly need to make some changes, how Bosingwa plays every week I have no idea.

But will we actually do anything about it ? I doubt it...

Intresting how it happens after the draw........

So the "Super Hoops" (love that, the only club that has a nickname that sounds like a cereal) to go down?

Just been watching the first half, and the noise has been incredible from the Portsmouth fans gotta give it to them, so while the football may not be the best derby wise, do you reckon that atmosphere its right up there at the top.

I do

We played as if we were already 4-0 up from the start, no pace, no drive, no effort our midfield without Ramires really is pretty awful, his engine does alot for us.

Again Drogba is continuing his 'Will I won't I' play well one week, can't be bothered the next and the subs were pretty poor.

Oh well, just hope we improve massively for the scum on thursday.....
