Taking a sabbatical from the page till post-transfer window. A great community ruined by negativity and incessant trolling from usual suspects.

the most of new names will vanish from the page. That's what it is. If one supports the one will continue no matter what.

People are entitled to express their opinion. Some of us are a too negative and others too positive. Some of us are naive, some have good insights and some are misguided. Does it matter? It is up to the reader to read or ignore.

That's fair enough Byrrab but you must admit the site has really gone down hill this transfer window. The standard of posts is dreadful and the negativity and naivety of some posters is quite embarrassing. I have been using this site for many years and have never seen it this bad before. No wonder the eds tend to stay clear most of the time.

You could say some only stick around when everything is nice and rosy with which things are not right now. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, be that positive or negative and to be honest at this moment in time there is not much to be positive about with our club right now. However football is fickle and this time next month things could be completely different and full of positivity. I'll support Chelsea through everything but people have a right to express themselves whether that be positive or negative.

Well when you can't read a single post without coming across the same thing over and over again, it's hard to simply not read it or ignore it.

I agree with you Byrrab.

Well said Byrabb. wise perspective.

Criticism is fine as long as it's constructive!

Sadly, what is constructive to one is seen as destructive by someone else because there are obsessives on here that do not like their club criticised, players or favourite player criticised. Chelsea are not perfect and never will be and if they were winning every game, rightly, there should be criticism/ observations about improvements. Every year we get a raft of players the media have linked us with and those liked by contributors and usually we might buy one or two if that and it causes the 'banter' that makes the site interesting; everyone should be entitled to express an opinion and then it will either be liked or disliked and you move on. Sometimes people forget that a site like this has a vast age range contributing.
