Title: NFR... Brighton Vs Chelsea, Very Good Start...
Post by: Steeeeeeeeeed on April 21, 2026, 08:06:00 PM
Brighton 1-0 up already after 3 minutes, Chelsea players arguing with each other..., seriously could be a mauling here.

Hoping for a mauling.

If I was earning £300k a week for 6 years or more, I wouldn't give a toss about football.

I think their keeper Sanchez(?) must be coached by Tony Warner.

Watching the game, BHA are so on top but need the 2nd goal.

Chelsea are bloody awful. I though we have been bad on occasions this season but this beats everything.

If Brighton  win we will never catch them in the Table.

More concerned with Fulham than those Pensioners

More chance we'll catch the team from the dog track.

Wouldn't mind Delap when they release him, nowhere near CL level but may do a job for us?

I'd still go for Vipotnik from Swansea. £15m release clause and has the air of a Mitro regen.

The Amex is a nightmare to get away from, both sets of fans start leaving after 75 minutes (for different reasons I expect).

Absolutely outplayed, outthought, outran, and absolutely, Rosenior should be out the door.

Dave, Eastleigh


This is worse Chelsea team I have seen in 60 years. No team spirit, they are just going through the motions - a total disgrace!

Chelsea must have real problems if they ever thought he was a good idea. He was talking nonsense even before he went there. And that was him full of confidence. So sad to see one of our own (sort of) have such a swift downfall.
Agent Rosenior

There were fans who wanted Liam Rosenior to Fulham before he crossed the road.
Would they still go for him ?
Chelsea are a basket case with their owners, the Chelsea fans had the narrative that he wasn't good enough for them even before he stepped through the door. There's been a campaign ever since by the so called Chelsea on-line media influencers (like Rory Jennings and his ilk) against him from the start.
Would Rosenior suit Fulham more than them ?

Chelsea job's a poisoned chalice but clearly Rosenior wasn't ready to step up and when you look at his managerial career it's understandable, he needed more experience.

Brentford's three away games are Man city, Man utd, Liverpool, they will do well to get anything from those games.

Think it's quite obvious there's a few players in that Chelsea team who don't fancy Rosenior! If there was a performance to get a manager the sack last night's game at Brighton was it.
It's clear his out of his depth at this level and blame should be with the owners here but yet again the players will hide away from any s**t being slung at the team and leave the manager out to dry.

They'll be lucky to finish in the top half of the table. Lose to Leeds and they may not have any European football to play next season.

If they do qualify for Europe UEFA will make a huge killing with regard to financial fair play.

That is the impression I have, if he has lost the dressing room and the players do not wish to play for him, that will show in team performances.
Last night was a classic example of a team not playing for the manager which as you know can only lead to one outcome.
Better Managers than Liam Rosenior have lost their jobs at Chelsea.
So it is standard procedure which actually leaves a stain on the club both in the short and long term itself, more than the reputation of the manager.
It cannot be much fun and enjoyable when a manager realises that your players are not playing for you anymore.
In the good old days players played to pay their mortgages.
Now you have millionaire players in the dressing room who have no worries about the impact it has on their outgoings.
They are more concerned about their egos being massaged and how they can cheat and deceive the referee.
That is why many football supporters are shifting their interests towards the clubs lower down the pyramid as the obsession with watching big time Charlie's in the Premier League slowly evaporates like a Polar Bear on shrinking piece of ice.

Very much so. Then when the new manager comes in and gets a run of results those most vociferous of fans tend to have very short memories of these players who have been anything but professional??

I thought that *****r Fernandez standing there staring aggressively at the Chelsea fans at the end of the game spoke a lot about what's wrong with their club. We at least have a few players that feel Fulham- Sess, TC, Josh King etc. The feeling there is very toxic. Amusing.
