I've just tried to get Roman to show up in the info box. He is more deserving of this honour than Bruce Buck. Someone had already added his name, and I made it a wikilink, but it doesn't show up. This is because it is non-standard I suppose, but perhaps someone with better technical knowledge could sort it out. CalJW 16:21, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

I have reverted it, but it raises some valid points. Should there be any mention of Chelsea players who have been given major awards while at the club? Also, we should mention the logo change. Would a seperate section on the logo be a good idea? -- Apyule 06:01, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
This paragraph seems somewhat irrelevant and opinionated. Of course a club will want to win the competitions that it enters. The statement about the Champions League doesn't really have much source to it. Peoplesunionpro 16:13, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
GO CHELSEA
Chelsea are indeed 2005-06 Champions. Source espn.soccernet.com. 38 games played, topped with 91 points, 8 points above Manchester United.
Does Chelsea has any ARCH-rivals?
SPURS - obviously!
Ken Bates finally sold Chelsea F.C. in June 2003 for £60 million making a personal profit of £17 million on the club he had bought for £1 in 1982.
how was a £17 million profit calculated on a realisation of £60 million on a £1 investment?
-- Xorkl000 05:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
I think West Ham should be considered as a rival. We've been more-a-less in the same league through-out history and there is a massive rivalry between the fans considering spurs and arsenal see themselves as each others biggest rivals. Maybe Millwall should have get a mention also, for off the pitch reasons.
This article is too long and turning it into a match by match commentary - including comments on whether home or away supporters sang more loudly at one point of one particular match does not seem to me to be the way forward. Chelseaboy 12:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Look, I love my Blues as much as the next man, but Wikipedia isn't a fansite, or a blog. This article is becoming a joke! It should not be attempting to keep a minute by minute record of every twist and turn in Chelsea's recent history, but rather an encycopedia entry for people wanting to know what Chelsea FC actually means! So just some facts and figures and an overview. For anyone wishing to have a more detailed account, there are billions of websites we could link this article to. It seems to have become a forum for fans to air their views - this is not the purpose of Wikipedia! Bobble2 09:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)Bobble2
Do I take it we have another "dignified" mad Mouser on here? Two a penny... ;-) SteveO 14:56, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
I read that Lampard has made the record in longest successive appearance in nearly 3 years (The man with no lungs) and has to end it recently because of a flu. Should this be added? Thanks. Tac ke 15:39, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I think that this article could improve by adding information about the John Obi Mikel case that has been going on for more than 9 months now. Both in this article, and in the Manchester United article. Although the dispute is far from finished, that shouldn't be any reason for us not too include information about the case. I think it is of interest. Does anyone have any comments to this? NuclearFunk 21:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
This is pure speculation and holds no relevance to the club (the Jon Obi Mikel story).
why is it black? isnt it supposed to be blue?
The article is now 45kb and should probably be broken up. Perhaps a History of Chelsea F.C. page? SteveO 00:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I've moved the history to a separate History of Chelsea F.C., since this article was becoming too long. SteveO 18:53, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
The article talks about four crests, but only shows three together under "Crests". I know the new one is at the top of the page but it would be nice to have it repeated in the "Crests" section to avoid having to scroll back up again when reading the text. Bazza 14:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
It is not true that Chelsea's highest atendance was against Arsenal. It was the Moscow Dynamos match in 1945 with a gate of over 100,000
Ok mate, fair enough. Come on you Blues! Bobble2 03:04, 14 April (UTC)
ok there
There is now a Mickey Thomas (football) page, so feel free to add him to your former players. Wayneamlwch 18:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Just my opinion but the bold names ont the player looks awful.
Jimmmmmmmmm 21:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Also on this subject, Jimmy Smith HAS played for the first team, he came on as a sub for the lst 15minutes against Newcastle on the last day of the season - he was wearing no.46. Mancienne was on the bench for that game, but didn't come on (he was no. 44). If you want to remove him - you have to remove Sinclair/Elmer as well since neither of those have played for the 1st team. But Jimmy Smith has. Any more opinions on the blod players? I can change them no normal if so wished. Hardrada 21:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Personally I think you should it looks silly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenal_F.C. look so much better. Not provoking by pttuing Arsenal just using an example. Jimmmmmmmmm 12:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Already done it Jimmmmmmmmm 12:39, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I thought Jimmy Smith was given a squad number? Scott Sinclair is bound to get a couple of games this season, what with Chelsea only having two proper strikers and Kalou as backup. But then, Smith and Sinclair haven't been given shirt numbers I guess they can't really be listed. Bobbyfletch85 14:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Could we leave the fees as undisclosed until they have been confirmed by Chelsea and the other club? Estimates even from reliable sources vary. BBC says £30million for Sheva, whereas the Gazetta Dell Sport (sp.) says around £40million. So best to leave it as undisclosed I feel. Hardrada 10:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

For the anonymous editor who added a detailed account of Chelsea's recent rivalry with FC Barcelona, I've removed the piece and added a footnote. This article is meant to be an overview of the club in general but has a tendency to become a long, long narrative of Chelsea's recent history. There are sub-articles where more details can be added. I'm happy to discuss, though. SteveO 15:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone have a problem with me adding my non commercial Chelsea fan site to this page. It has useful links and bits on history etc. I have already been warned not to add my site as this is not a place for external links, even though all the links on the front page for Chelsea are of a commercial nature. My website id theleftback.co.uk if you want to check. Thanks
Valky78 21:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh well. If you are going to judge a website by a forum that has just been set up then fine. In 6 months I have had 20,000 unique vistors to the site. The website contains many old pictures, historical information and so on. I wish I hadn't donated to Wikipedia now. You have included websites that make money: mine does not. Valky78 21:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
As it stands the only external links for this article are the BBC, the FAPL, the official Chelsea site and one unofficial fans' site. The FAPL and the OFCW are both official organisations linked with the club while the BBC is an established and generally impartial source for information. One of the main concerns for external links is whether they conform to a neutral point of view, (read this, which states unofficial fans sites should normally be avoided for that reason). If your site does contain useful (and accurate) historical information on the club, it would be far better if this information was directly included in Wikipedia rather than as a link. SteveO 20:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm aware that Ballack has a preference for the no. 13 shirt, but the OFCW still lists Gallas as wearing it while Ballack, according to this, hasn't yet had his number confirmed. For the various users who keep reversing the two, it would be nice if some reliable sources were added. Thanks. SteveO 18:51, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I went ahead and changed the away kit, as it was released today.-- Pinkfloyd123 20:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I've looked at the shirt pictures and it has stripes like the Argentina home shirt, I shant edit it as I don't know how to. Melmer 23:18, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
That's true, I think, but the stripes are such a light grey you almost can't see them. I don't know how to edit this in either, can anyone help? Pinkfloyd123 06:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
We should probably have consensus on whether to use "whiteshoulders" or "whitelines" on the arms for the home kit, since this is going back and forth. IMO the stripes look better since they are more accurate to the adidas stripes than a bold white block. There is precedent for either. The Liverpool FC page uses stripes whilst Real Madrid uses shoulders, both are replications of adidas kits. Also if we are going to use shoulders it should be for both home and away and the same is true of stripes. On a tangent we should defo keep the grey stripes on the away kit 'cos they are certainly noticeable IMO. Hardrada 16:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
You have to do something about Nuno Morais and Jimmy Smith,because they are not in the official team and there are some people that insist to put them in the squad,even if they are not in the official Chelsea FC website.-- Tiago Heitor 13:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
OK,i understand,but you fills the teams of players,sometimes with wrong numbers,and the team doesn´t count with them and you rarely see them playing because they are on reserve´s team most of the time.-- Tiago Heitor 16:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I am unsure of the need to refute the linguistic accuracy of the tag Chelski. Ski/sky might be more common elsewhere, but plenty of Russians have names ending that way (e.g. Fyodor Dostoevsky, Wassily Kandinsky, Boris Spasski). Oldelpaso 10:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Some criteria should be established for this section. In recent days, the likes of Chris Sutton, Alexey Smertin and Mateja Kezman have all been added to the list, though none was at the club for very long or had a particularly significant impact, thus they aren't notable enough, in my opinion. The section is only meant to be a summary, and five or six players from each decade should suffice. SteveO 11:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Can this be changed in the opening paragraph of the article please? See the Wikipedia article on West London for confirmation - there is no such place (in geographical terms) as 'South West London'. The SW6 postcode is a complete red herring.

Any thoughts on removing this section altogether and incorporating anything useful into the main article here or History of Chelsea F.C.? SteveO 11:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Someone can include that Chelsea F.C. makes an appearance in Anthony Horowitz's book, Ark Angel. It's just a suggestion as the team's appearance in the game is a major part of the story. 70.107.24.245 05:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
In Chelsea F.C., is there a man called Roman Abramovich? [2] And is his title in the team? -- AACCAA 3-2 18:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I think so, yes. -- Mully82 13:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
On all the other football clubs, there is a list of the reserve squad, someone should make one for Chelsea.
Perhaps it should be noted in the article, in the supporters section, about their tendency towards sending death threats to referees ( http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1717081,00.html ). Also a mention of the Chelsea Headhunters group is notable. Peoplesunionpro 16:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Ashley Cole is not on the team... Someone fix it please Purplesnake 06:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Since the title usually refers to the FIFA award, it doesn't seem appropriate to describe Gullit as a 'world player of the year' while referring to World Soccer Awards. Perhaps calling him European Footballer of the Year would be more correct. Razororz 20:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Ben Sahar the Israeli youth national team player was promoted not long ago to the senior squad, why isn't he in their squad here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.130.134.224 ( talk • contribs)
User:Bole2 removed the managers section, leaving just a link to the daughter article, List of Chelsea F.C. managers. I've restored it, since an article about a football club must surely have some mention of its managers. Of the featured football club articles, Arsenal F.C. has the full competitive record of their managers, and Manchester City F.C., Everton F.C. and Sheffield Wednesday F.C. have details of just their more notable managers. None has a completely blank section. SteveO 19:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Various users have recently been adding and re-adding a list of famous supporters to the article. Per discussions here, here and here, such information is generally regarded as unnecessary listcruft and should be avoided. SteveO 19:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
i think that is a good idea, i could compile a list. But the page is also a bit long. Cut out our relevance to popular culture or soemthibng like that if anything. Also not many chelsea fans are from kensington and chelsea as we are still mainly a working a class club, and come from other areas of S.W London such as Stockwell, Brixton and Wandsworth, or at least used to before mass immigration in those areas.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cfc88 ( talk • contribs)
Can you give me details of comedians (mario rosenstock e.t.c) who hev done chelsea sketches? There's also in paticular a recent one of the schevchenko arguement. Thanks. Rogsmer 18:51 19 January 2007
Ben Sahar is polish-israeli player not only israeli
Not absolutely true - Arsenal used to regularly play Racing Club de Paris in a friendly competition, and one of my history books recalls that in November 1938 the plane carrying the Arsenal players to Paris almost crashed as it overshot the runway, forcing the club to adopt a policy of splitting the first-team squad into two for all future flights. What the claim probably means is that Chelsea's was the first for a domestic match, which is probably fair. Qwghlm 18:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I think this was some time in the late 1970s or the early 1980s, but I'd appreciate some more information if anyone has any. Thanks.

Should we include some missing members on the Management Team?
I cannot find any information on which country they are from.

Any thoughts on removing this section altogether and incorporating anything useful into the main article here or History of Chelsea F.C.? SteveO 11:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Someone can include that Chelsea F.C. makes an appearance in Anthony Horowitz's book, Ark Angel. It's just a suggestion as the team's appearance in the game is a major part of the story. 70.107.24.245 05:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
In Chelsea F.C., is there a man called Roman Abramovich? [2] And is his title in the team? -- AACCAA 3-2 18:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Should it mention the affinity between Chelsea and Rangers fans?
I think so, yes. -- Mully82 13:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
On all the other football clubs, there is a list of the reserve squad, someone should make one for Chelsea.
Perhaps it should be noted in the article, in the supporters section, about their tendency towards sending death threats to referees ( http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1717081,00.html ). Also a mention of the Chelsea Headhunters group is notable. Peoplesunionpro 16:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Ashley Cole is not on the team... Someone fix it please Purplesnake 06:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Since the title usually refers to the FIFA award, it doesn't seem appropriate to describe Gullit as a 'world player of the year' while referring to World Soccer Awards. Perhaps calling him European Footballer of the Year would be more correct. Razororz 20:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Ben Sahar the Israeli youth national team player was promoted not long ago to the senior squad, why isn't he in their squad here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.130.134.224 ( talk • contribs)
User:Bole2 removed the managers section, leaving just a link to the daughter article, List of Chelsea F.C. managers. I've restored it, since an article about a football club must surely have some mention of its managers. Of the featured football club articles, Arsenal F.C. has the full competitive record of their managers, and Manchester City F.C., Everton F.C. and Sheffield Wednesday F.C. have details of just their more notable managers. None has a completely blank section. SteveO 19:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Various users have recently been adding and re-adding a list of famous supporters to the article. Per discussions here, here and here, such information is generally regarded as unnecessary listcruft and should be avoided. SteveO 19:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
i think that is a good idea, i could compile a list. But the page is also a bit long. Cut out our relevance to popular culture or soemthibng like that if anything. Also not many chelsea fans are from kensington and chelsea as we are still mainly a working a class club, and come from other areas of S.W London such as Stockwell, Brixton and Wandsworth, or at least used to before mass immigration in those areas.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cfc88 ( talk • contribs)
Can you give me details of comedians (mario rosenstock e.t.c) who hev done chelsea sketches? There's also in paticular a recent one of the schevchenko arguement. Thanks. Rogsmer 18:51 19 January 2007
Ben Sahar is polish-israeli player not only israeli
Not absolutely true - Arsenal used to regularly play Racing Club de Paris in a friendly competition, and one of my history books recalls that in November 1938 the plane carrying the Arsenal players to Paris almost crashed as it overshot the runway, forcing the club to adopt a policy of splitting the first-team squad into two for all future flights. What the claim probably means is that Chelsea's was the first for a domestic match, which is probably fair. Qwghlm 18:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I think this was some time in the late 1970s or the early 1980s, but I'd appreciate some more information if anyone has any. Thanks.
Just to add, im looking for the lowest ever attendance in all leagues.........at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea seem to be hiding this piece of trivia!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.216.44 ( talk • contribs)

Thankyou Steve
Was that attendance recorded at stamford bridge ?
I thought our lowest attendance would have been in the late 70s/early 80s.
Where did u get that information from ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.47.132.180 ( talk • contribs)
Fulham is NOT Chelsea`s rival. They are more like our little brothers from down the road who think beating us is like winning the prem.
