I have strong views but see no reason for them to be on here unless relevant to a Chelsea/Football issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the worst that can happen, eh! Somebody exposes themselves as a Daily Mail reading, GB news watcher and all of their bad football opinions make sense all of a sudden. Would be pretty funny in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boratsbrother Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) 23 minutes ago, My Blood Is Blue said: We have thought about this before, but have always thought better of it as we know how divisive it can be. That's because the Chelsea fanbase is divided between the huge left right cultural divide rather than the old economic capitalist vs nationalization devide. It's possible to have the old arguments without falling out but not now with the horrible, devisive culture war divide. Exactly the same problems as America and other western countries😟 Other football forums allow current politics but that's because the likes of Utd, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and others are overwhelmingly left wing and very woke, so nowhere as split as our fanbase. That's my two pennies worth anyway 🙂 Edited February 7 by boratsbrother 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No respect for those who have a different view,, so no sensible discussion can ever be had.😟 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same problems as America and other western countries😟 I'd say it was because the media is so dishonest that we mostly disagree on our interpretation of fact, not opinion. But certainly with the old left/right issues it was easier to see where people were coming from and easier to interpret the media and facts. The west, hand cart and hell. 30 minutes ago, boratsbrother said: Other football forums allow current politics but that's because the likes of Utd, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and others are overwhelmingly left wing and very woke, so nowhere as split as our fanbase. Interesting point. I wonder if all open discussion is like that. That everything else gets hunted down and banned.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, Bison said: Would be interesting to have a politics thread in another section of the forum. The problem is that you would only hear from the ones who believe in their moral and political outlook with absolute conviction. The one thing I know about those people is that nothing will persuade them to see a different point of view. I took a quick look at one of the other major (non-Chelsea) football boards that do this, and it seems to consist of people trying to bully each other with slogans they are certain are important without the benefit of knowing why.  2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patThenevin Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Maybe I'm giddy from 45mins of CFC doing CFC things at villa and supped the drink at a quicker rate but....  Could the club not make some massive signings  These signings dont play, they don't coach, they don't scout, they aren't Todd Getting some legendary players from UCL winners, from early Jose, from the 1970s cup team etc The best of the best. Get a starting 11 that comes in and does a few days a month mentoring the current players in their team Drogba with Jackson Hazard with Madueke JT/Harris with the CBs Etc etc   2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Specific position training is something I'd like to be explored. Benni McCarthy at Utd looks after their strikers for example and his arrival sparked that resurgence from Rashford when he hit form last season.

Sciatika Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 It's an odd thing that we seem to have endless GK coaches (Toni Jimenez, Ben Roberts, Henrique Hilario, James Russell, Carlo Cudicini) and one defensive coach (Miguel d’Agostino), excluding Poch himself, but no midfield/striker coaches. Is that even a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different experiences of Arsenal and Tottenham fans to me. But then "woke" means nothing, that should have been clear to everyone the minute a Tory MP called HS2 "woke", so it is impossible to know what anyone using that term is actually saying. I've seen other forums do have dedicated spaces for it, but then have often been a little taken back by what most other club forums I have seen allow. Outright abuse and libel. Think we have it better this way.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outright abuse and libel.  Liverpool fans go much much further than abuse and libel. They had to close down a thread relating to the murder of the late Tory MP David Amess. It was closed due to the number of scum actiallh supporting the murder due to his evil crims of being a Conservative and Christian. They are now advocating for the assassination of a certain person running for President of the USA while at the sane time expressing outrage at the death of Navalny. Certainly a case of a prison sentence for advocating murder no matter what you think of a politician. So much more extreme and nasty than people on here arguing about woke issues and our hapless government. Overall we are better of without a politics forum ensuring such extremist views are never expressed .  1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much loved man. A real humanitarian and a rampant animal rights activist. He was actually murdered less than half a mile from my home and it caused shockwaves locally. To read this makes me equally angry and sad. Pathetic scum. They always will be.  4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
