OT humor : Fan rage at Chelsea builds
Passion for sport and schaudenfreude knows no boundaries. First off THANK YOU UM coaches for making my weeks happier, full of sunshine and birds chirping, and playing the game of football with some competence we can all be proud of again. Hopefully long gone is the "era of darkness" and we no longer need to have fan rants (see Texas and Nebraska) like this...

You know, I was kind of expecting a link or embed or something in the OP.
Expectations dashed yet again.

Replace Chelsea-rager with a UT Volls fan and you have the same thing.
October 5th, 2015 at 12:03 PM ^
Tennessee would be a great home and home.
October 5th, 2015 at 1:41 PM ^
Our programs are quite similar. They both have large fan bases, large stadiums, storied traditions. We both have had some rough years with rough coaching choices recently. Butch is an excellent recruiter and horrible time/game manager and it is questionable how much of a 'coach' he really is. He is also VERY full of coach-isms, "a game at a time" "Brick by brick" etc etc etc who may be loyal to his staff to a fault. It'll be interesting if they get a new OC after this season. For a program that is calling themselves Wide Receiver U, they had a game with 3 passes for 18 yds to all WR's combined! Fortunately we're pulling ourselves out of the quicksand with Hackett and Harbaugh.
I agree a home-and-home would be excellent. Especially since we are on the upswing now and they don't have it in their sites.
October 6th, 2015 at 12:21 AM ^
I agree with everything he's saying. Idk what the hell happened, we had one of the best seasons in EPL history last year and this year we look like a team that could be scrambling to avoid relegation. I mean we lost to Crystal Palace AT HOME. I mean wtf?!!
October 5th, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
I would love a TWIS for soccer fans. This week would be great for Liverpool and Chelsea. So good.
"And you lot, who left in the 75th minute should be ashamed!"

Klopp for the Kop!!

That would be great, but I think Liverpool fans are very happy with the sacking of Rodgers. I think the Chelsea outrage would be hilarious to see. Jose Mourinho is a very good manager, but such a pompous douche, that seeing Chelsea in the dumps is really funny, and hearing Jose's excuse after excuse. When they win, he is the special one, when they lose, he has every excuse in the book.
October 5th, 2015 at 2:14 PM ^
LFC fans are happy about The Brodge getting fired, for sure. However, they are an entertaining bunch on Twitter win or (especially) lose.
October 5th, 2015 at 3:58 PM ^
I listen to the 606 football phone in podcast, and yes all of the fanbases are hilarious. It's likean hour long TWIS.
October 5th, 2015 at 4:10 PM ^
The phone in stuff in England is a treasure trove every weekend.
October 5th, 2015 at 12:05 PM ^
mehhhhhhhhh
I am excited for feelingsball post
October 5th, 2015 at 12:08 PM ^
Chelsea fans are absolute trash. Still the Beverly Hillbillies of the EPL.
October 5th, 2015 at 5:29 PM ^
Personally I picked Chelsea after the "Which EPL team should you root for thread". Had me with the Yellow and Blue away kit, the only EPL jersey I own. The other 12 are international kits. Liked some of the african ones(I know some were nuts), but a few had subtle designs from puma instead of the insane ones.
October 5th, 2015 at 12:10 PM ^
Damn, that man was redddd!
October 5th, 2015 at 12:47 PM ^
They just won it all last fucking year!! As a Sunderland fan... well fuck it all. Fucking hell.
October 5th, 2015 at 1:15 PM ^
Ahhh, now on with this lame Monday
October 5th, 2015 at 1:19 PM ^
unless you're from that area?
Of course your point is right, Chelsea fans, of which I am one (admittedly a recent addition, just started following the EPL last few years), are spoiled. On the other hand, and for those who may not be so familiar with whats going on, it would be somewhat akin to the Seattle Seahawks having THE worst defense in the NFL this year. Its really impossible to understand how their defense got this bad this quickly. And well Ivanovic is a disaster.
October 5th, 2015 at 2:05 PM ^
It looks like between May and now, Chelsea's defenders have aged 10 years a piece. Ivanovich looks like a shell of his former self. Costa isn't scoring. As a Man City fan who has been privy to some bad defense this year, I am shocked at how bad Chelsea looks. I do like seeing Mourinho whine and moan as he often does when things don't go his way. It's funny.
October 5th, 2015 at 2:24 PM ^
Believe it or not I loved McClean when they had him. He was my favorite player. When they ousted him for some bullshit Sunderland brought in Josie Altidore (who is complete shit) and that gave me something to watch as an American. Theyre just awful and I wish I was a fan of a better team but I'm a Lions fan too and I never went over and cheered for Green Bay just because so whatever. I'm a Black Cats fan for better or worse. Mostly worse.
October 5th, 2015 at 2:27 PM ^
To help people understand better, Mourinho keeping Ivanovic in the lineup every single game is like when Leyland kept sticking with Ryan Raburn for some odd reason.
October 5th, 2015 at 1:44 PM ^
... Soccer has so many problems with fan behavior.
October 5th, 2015 at 2:25 PM ^
Not sure if youve seen the recent youtube clips of steroid dads in jean shorts stomping guys heads, but the NFL has a "problem" as well...
October 6th, 2015 at 1:40 PM ^
... I try to avoid "youtube clips of steroid dads in jean shorts" doing anything.
October 5th, 2015 at 2:19 PM ^
I am delighted at that drama Mou has caused over at Chelsea and loving every bit!
October 5th, 2015 at 3:44 PM ^
No doubt, what did you think of Aguero's 5 goal performance in 20 min? Great player.
October 5th, 2015 at 4:55 PM ^
after getting crushed 4-1 by the Spurs, I was a bit discouraged with our center backs after getting down 0-1. Then, when Kun went off, I went crazy!!!
LOVE what KDB brings to the team also!
October 5th, 2015 at 5:12 PM ^
Oh man, once KDB and Silva started clicking in the second half, it was over. We have so many options. We need Kompany back though.
October 5th, 2015 at 9:49 PM ^
How does one become a City fan unless you live there? They weren't even in the premiere league for 10 years and subpar until the 2010s?

City's rival was Stockport as of 2010.. You ask a decent question.

I started really watching soccer about 9 years ago. I liked City because they were gritty fighters who were underdogs. Then the money started flowing from the new ownership and we got Tevez, who was one of the hardest working guys out there. Then Silva, Toure, Aguero, and the rest is history. If I had started watching in the 90's, I probably wouldn't be a City fan, but I love them now. I never miss a game.
October 5th, 2015 at 2:45 PM ^
Arsenal Fan TV is the best for schadenfreude. Too bad they won this week.
October 5th, 2015 at 3:20 PM ^
Can someone do post game interviews at the big house? Ace?
October 5th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
October 5th, 2015 at 9:52 PM ^
Not a fan back in the Henri days? The Invincibles, shoulda won a UEFA CL title too before melting down the last 3 min of the game

to remember when Chelsea weren't owned by a Russian oil billionaire and struggling to just make Europe.
October 5th, 2015 at 4:22 PM ^
All I can say (sing) is:
"Martinez says he's not for sale and I am satisfied.
Chelsea wants the kinds of things that money just can't buy.
Me, I don't care too much for money, because money can't buy you Stones.
Can't buy you Stones!
Money can't buy you Stones!"

They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie
I don't want to go Chelsea
October 5th, 2015 at 11:52 PM ^
Any recent silverware to back up that chant?
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
October 6th, 2015 at 2:09 PM ^
You've got it all wrong. It's not a chant. It's a song. To the Beatles "Can't Buy You Love." The fans sing it. It's really cool that way. Go on, try it. You'll see!
(Yes, I am ignoring the point of your comment. You got a couple of nice trophies last year. Congrats Still, we did beat this year. But, I guess that's nothing special to brag about is it?)
October 5th, 2015 at 5:09 PM ^
They'll return to being Man United fans or just become Man City fans.
