Europa Conference League Final 2025 | Real Betis v Chelsea | Wed 28th May '25

Like it or not, deny it or not, but an element of your fanbase has a shitty reputation (yes, as does every club). But for some reason, as I've said before, that reputation goes before you wherever you go. With the inevitable consequence that the nut jobs from the other club, or from the area you're playing in, are drawn to your lot like moths to a flame. I have no doubt that we also have our share of idiots among our fans. But, from memory, I don't recall to much trouble a couple of years ago in Istanbul. And Turks and Italians can be volatile.
That reputation is most likely from when 'hooligan firms' names first became well known, outside the plebs that took part.....at school down here in the late 70's early 80's, you asked any kid to name ones they knew, it would be Chelsea/Millwall/West Ham. Not even Pompey who are 20mins down the road, who are now well known as .657 would have been named.
 
Those chelsea players in midfield and defence arent really trying imo. Lots of gaps not closed down, easy through balls.
I think Lavia could have been a useful addition. Chelsea may miss not registering him for the conference league panel they submitted.
 
Just realised Slask Wroclaw are the Polish team that follow Betis rivals Seville around Europe to give them a kick in. Was after Seville fans attached Slask scarfers.

Were at City v Seville a few years back.

Ha ha I remember that story. That's a special kind of grudge that.
