    It depends where we finish. Top the group and we play our RO16 at Wembley with our potential QF being in Rome. Come second and our RO16 is in Copenhagen with our potential QF being in St Petersburg.
    Admittedly, if we travel abroad, we are unlikely to meet Denmark, Russia or Italy at those respective stages so not sure the crowds would be totally partisan or hostile.
    That being said... why not play at Wembley and be booed? ?

    Really interested to see how this pans out.
    Never bought this whole 'free hit year' nonsense that, because of the club legend status and the transfer ban, he'd be given time.
    Being given time goes against everything that has happened at Chelsea over the past 15 years. Abramovic and Chelsea fans are not known for patience or for taking other factors into account.
    The long and short will be that a club the size and stature of Chelsea has to be competing for a top 4 spot and competitive in the Champions League. Transfer ban or no transfer ban. Frank Lampard will only be given time if he can achieve this. And I'm not convinced that he can. We'll see. But I honestly don't think that his club legend status will count for much when push comes to shove.
    Yesterday (and the Man Utd and Liverpool games) set alarm bells ringing. Pkayed some nice stuff, started well. But defensively woeful. Far too many spaces for the opposition to attack. Conceded from a set piece. And the tempo really dropping off. Sound familiar?
    That said, as @86 Schmokes & a Pancake rightly points out, Leicester are a good side and will likely be in for a decent season.

    I fear Frank will already be coming under some significant pressure. Chelski fans are a long walk from patient and more than the result, the fact they finished the match hanging on for a draw won't have gone down well.
    That said, while Leicester have yet to win this year, their 2nd half work seems to show they might be a decent outfit and it'd be a surprise if Chelsea are the only 'big' side they trouble this season.

    I'm impressed that you've only had that happen the once. I can't go to Derby without that happening. If I wasn't protective of both a) my car and, to a lesser extent, b) the retention of the use of my legs, I'd happily go straight into the back of them just to teach them a lesson ?

    Ooh... still on the driving subject...
    Picture coming down the A38 from Mansfield/Alfreton direction into Derby... Approaching Little Eaton Roundabout.  Two main lanes take you to the roundabout (straight on for Morrisons/Alfeton Rd/Chester Green etc, or right for A38> Markeaton).
    There's a left lane there now (has been for a good while), which completely avoids the roundabout, and flows nicely and continuously to the left (Morrisons/Alfeton Rd/Chester Green etc) , with no restrictions.
    There's a red light to the right of this lane, specifically controlling those in the main two lanes at the roundabout... and to be totally ignored by those of us in the left hand "direct" lane... some tart actually stopped there once, just as I was slowing down from 60 ish to a more comfortable 35 ish to take the sharpish bend! 
    I nearly smashed her back end in, I can tell you!
     
     
    Oh yeah... and what's with all the brown signs still directing us to the "I-Pro Stadium"!  Grrr!

    The thing is, I'm not sure they are. I think a lot of them will be plastic fans who have a limited football knowledge.
    The point is though, I don't honestly think that it will be long before the fans do turn on him. A couple of bad results, however inevitable we all know that to be for any manager, and they'll turn. Football fans are fickle, but I reckon Chelsea fans even more so. They turned on the best manager they ever had - twice! I have a sad feeling that this will all end in tears.
    Oh, Frank, what have you done?

    What? I admit we don't have the perfect fanbase and there's many things they can be criticised for which makes it all the more weird you've gone after us for the supposed treatment of the one person we gave all the love and support too unconditionally.
    No Chelsea fan turned against Mourinho either time, first time round there was mass protests outside Stamford Bridge the day he left and the second time round 90% of the fans firmly believed it was the players fault and not Jose's, even the 10% (me being one of them) who saw through that weren't in any way disrespectful towards him and were still sad to see him go even though they knew it had to be done.
    Yes a section turned against him while at United but what the media and rival fans conveniently ignore is the whole situation was started by him constantly lashing out at us. Every single ex Chelsea man who returned to The Bridge with rivals got a standing ovation on returning apart from him, there's a reason for that.

    @TibshelfRam I totally agree with you - they are all spouting notions of loyalty at the moment. Claiming they will give Lamps time due to his past with them and the transfer ban, but i dont think it will take them long to turn if a few results go against him.
    I definitely don't think they will be quite so lenient as the Derby fans if he for example keeps playing whoever their version of David Nugent is game after game or doesnt start a striker in a final.
    I think most managers would struggle to get top 4 with that Chelsea squad now especially with all their rivals strengthening, but its going to be a real struggle for Lamps.
