On our bus back to Lisbon at 6am on the Sunday it was full of Chelsea fans. As sickening as it was and still fucked from the previous days the Chelsea fans were class with us. No gloating just genuine interest in talking about the game etc.. I’d have them any day over United, Liverpool, Arsenal and TottenhamDon’t mind Chelsea me. I don’t like them, but I don’t hate them. I’d take Chelsea over Spurs Arsenal and Millwall any day of the week.
Still West Ham for me in London though, with respect for all the “smaller” clubs fans who haven’t felt the need to just support the bigger London clubs or United/Liverpool.
By many mates’ accounts in Portugal, many City and Chelsea fans got on very well and did our country proud where a weekend in the sunshine on the beer after 18 months cooped up could have been a recipe for disaster!
I think he,s a brilliant player tbh.I've never been impressed by Jorginho. Shows how media hype can flip facts on their head - can you believe this gopher was touted as Ballon d'Or candidate.
I went for a nightcap in the bar opposite my Airbnb the night before the game in Porto... There were around 10 Chelsea fans having a ruby and some were the worst for wear by that point.. I was wearing my Mercer jacket and got some pelters at first but one of the lads said come and join us... They were a great bunch who'd been there through the shite times (a little like us) and none of them expected to win the final... They said "nobody beats Pep three times in a season" (or was it 4) ... They bought me beer and we had a good old chin wag.. Never saw them on matchday..On our bus back to Lisbon at 6am on the Sunday it was full of Chelsea fans.

Wish him a speedy recovery, but hope we don't get an outbreak in our squad after Saturday.
Great respect to you bud for showing up after what was virtually a rout. I think even you would have to admit now that Tuchel is a pathologically defensive coach. I can't for the life of myself understand it. You are the title favourites, European champions, on a run of 3 in a row over Pep, and you set up like QPR in the famous match. Lukaku might as well have had lunch in the local pub for all the use he was on the pitch.
One thing I will say about Chelsea fans (in general): they're very pragmatic. They don't spout bollocks about a "Chelsea Way" or "Chelsea DNA," and they don't think they have a God-given right to be entertained like some other clubs' fans.
Don't think he got close enough, they ran circles round him.
(But also yes, seriously we do not need a covid outbreak especially not this week)
Ouch!
That was below the belt mate :)
