Really don't know what to say anymore. One thing I can say is we shouldn't be asking whether we're interested in Gomes, Pogba or Griezmann because they won't be interested if we don't finish in the top four. The only players in today's starting XI who give everything are Azpi, Ramires and Willian the rest should just be dropped. I'd literally sell Fabregas and Hazard if they don't want to perform.

I think it will be a struggle for you guys! Not because of the points you have to make up but because you are a shambles at the moment and I can't see it changing any time soon. If you guys play like you did last season you will make the points up easy I have no doubt about that.
The problem is that it isn't bad luck teams are taking you to bits. I feel for you I really do.

Thanks man.

Of course you do growbum. ha ha. You lot love it because we are struggling but we will be back, and stronger for it. You now have a window of opportunity while we are struggling to win the league. Mess up to man city or utd at your peril as we shall be back believe me. Enjoy our demise as you do celebrating finishing 4th every season. In fairness to our other rivals it really is mainly arsenal fans who come on here giving it large. The likes of Liverpool and to a lesser extent, Utd have a bit more class. Enjoy your weekend.

Come on, JKB. The Arsenal fans on these pages are some of the best banter guys. Their page is so lively and they have a good vibe going on. I don't believe he came on here to gloat. So feel free to share your opinion, growbun. I find it interesting to read views of other teams' fans.
It is what it is, things are dreadful for us right now. And even though I believe we'll bounce back I don't really know when that'll be. All we can ever do is support the team. Hope we can get a win against Kiev, because CL would then look a little better.

No Jackson you are right. Yes I'm glad we have one less team to worry about but I just can't believe what's going on as can you guys! As an arsenal fan I can safely say I'm a bit jealous of the Chelsea over the years, here we are a carefully run team and worked hard to get in touch with United then bam along came abramhovich and ever since we have not won or challenged for the EPL. I just can't get my head round it! The team that you play won the premier leauge at a canter. Everyone knew before Christmas the leauge was yours. But now people think Jose is going to get the nudge and I find it unbelievable considering that I know you can still make the top 4. But guys what's going on.
Peace honestly ✌ðŸ»ï¸.

And guys trust me as an Arsenal fan I know how it feels.

Hopefully you will not mind a peaceful Liverpool fan throw his opinion in too? Especially as, even more than the Arsenal fans and your current plight, we've been through a couple of decades of pain (and are not out yet I hasten to add)!
In truth it should not all be considered dark. The one thing you have that we don't have is a very decent set of players from back to front. Yes we were much the better side yesterday but that was about desire and tactic/approach rather than underlying quality.
It was proven last year and to use the old cliche strong players do not become bad overnight. So there is something else wrong at the moment that all sorts of folk will want to guess what. Is it divide in the dressing room, is it the manager losing the players, is it complacency in certain players - who knows but it certainly is not lack of quality - I would even now be more than happy to swap 2/3rds our team for yours tbh - even now 😊!
But what does not help is the way Jose reacted yesterday trying to divert a poor display away from team and management and claim some form of conspiracy!
Now I am a massive fan of your manager. I say it when it is due and he and Fergie (ooh that hurt) have been the best over the recent past. And, like Fergie, I had always seen his little arrogant wise cracks to be entertaining and a means to divert, play mind games, etc with opposition - often working. But now I think he is starting to believe it himself so it is starting to backfire and actually work on him, and his team - I mean their reaction to the Lucas foul (and yes I believe it should probably have been a 2nd yellow) was quite appalling and probably hurt their own performances thereafter. Compare that to the Skrtel reaction for the costa kick (also should probably have seen red) .
No, I really hope this mammoth of a man actually realises the errors of his recent ways and starts to believe he can turn you guys around. I believe he can and, let's face it, I'd rather you up there (hopefully with us and Arsenal) than the 2 Manchester outfits.
Good luck in the CL to both you guys and Arsenal.
Cheers!

It's just hard to fathom that there are so many players completely out of form at the same time. I've never seen that happen before. Sure part of the blame lies with Mourinho, but I sure as hell wouldn't dismiss the players from any blame. Guys like Hazard, Fabregas, Matic and Costa are supposed to be among the best in their respective positions, but their play has been woeful.

A very good post there Freddie Jose has gone too far into his own psyche and the players look fed up with him! He needs to drop the conspiracy BS and focus on getting the best out of a really good squad of players.
And Freddie I think you have found your man in klipperty klopp . Top manager and entertaining he was the man I wanted to replace wenger.
