Preview: Chelsea v Fulham
By: Andy | September 29th, 2007
Fulham are the visitors to Stamford Bridge this afternoon in the first Premiership game since Jose Mourinho left the club and the match is new coach Avram Grant’s first home game in charge. I believe there is still lots of anger and resentment at the way Jose departed and it will be interesting to see how the fans react for the first time in force today.
Good news for Chelsea fans. Yesterday in the pre-match conference, Grant announced that Didier Drogba is expected to be named in today’s squad, Lampard and Carvalho are ‘only days’ away from retuning to the squad themselves.
Chelsea hasn’t scored a League goal in three - two defeats against Aston Villa and Man Utd plus the 0-0 home draw against Blackburn last time out. But the team’s confidence must be high after the midweek win over Hull City.
For Fulham however, they crashed out of the Cup after extra-time in midweek and reports suggest that Volz and McBride are two of six players that are unvailable today. Also unvailable are Christanval, Jimmy Bullard, Lee Cook and Ian Pearce.
But this is Chelsea v Fulham, a West London Derby (not the biggest derby in the World) so anything can happen!!!
In six Premiership matches at Stamford Bridge since 2002, Chelsea has won 4 - 2-1, 3-2, 3-2, 3-1 and there have been 2 draws - 1-1, 2-2 (last season).

If the fans are sour, pity on them. Your team is playing damnit, you cheer. You don’t boo the players on the field as most of them had nothing to do with his departure. SUPPORT!

Chelsea is really falling hard. The fans need to buck up, though. They’re spoiled - real fans will go out and watch Fulham every week for ten years, and cheer them on. Chelsea is just now realizing how many fair-weather fans they have. I can’t believe Drogba comes back early from injury, only for a scoreless home draw and a red card. Pathetic.

I can’t believe that Clint Dempsey got away with breaking JT’s cheekbone and nothing was done!!!
As for the rest of it all - Chelsea is now Rich Boy’s plaything!!!!!

Chelsea is done. Drogba is going to throw matches left and right as ‘fuck you’ to Abramovich. He should have known better to join a racist club with a tyrant owner.

oh my gOd, chelsea fans are the worst pieces of shit. They boo shevchenko cause he cant drible the ball past four guys covering him. No one gives him any decent passes. I watched the game and english football is so chaotic and scrappy no wonder they are always eliminated and shamed early out of world cup competitions whether its beckham kicking someone or rooney stomping on a guys balls. shevchenko needs to get the fuck out of depressing, rainy, grey england and should go to barcelona or something.

Skillz you dumbass. At least not everyone in England walks round with a burger in one hand and a flag in the other. At least In England we can fit into our clothes. Yeah that’s right you fat fuck. You can talk about FOOTBALL (not soccer, we invented the fuckin game) all day long but I bet your ankles can’t hold the weight of your fat gut long enough for you to play the game. Stick to your boring, useless games of throw and catch. Oh and that American (pussy) football might aswell be a girls sport. There’s so much fuckin padding that there’s barely any contact made with the actual steroid eating freak wearing the pads. Rugby, that’s a man’s game. If you can’t play FOOTBALL then at least play something manly. FatBoy, get a Bra.
