Chelsea pay tribute to superb fans with photo of Cardiff's

' Chelsea pay tribute to 'superb' fans with photo of Cardiff supporters '

by Chris Wright

Tuesday 13th May 2014.


Chelsea posted a photo of a section of supporters in full voice on their Facebook page on Monday as a token of the club's appreciation of the hordes of Blues fans who made the long trip across the border for their final game of the season against Cardiff City at the weekend.

The only problem being, of course, that the section of supporters in full voice in the photo were in fact Cardiff fans, singing their hearts out despite losing 1-2 to Jose Mourinho's rabble -- not that it stopped Chelsea from adding the caption "Superb away support as always" underneath the image.

Having been up for over 20 hours, it would appear that someone in the Chelsea media department finally noticed the gaffe and thus, the ever-so-slightly erroneous post has since been taken down.

Fortunately, we were on hand to nab a screenshot in the nick of time.

Oopsy daisy!

did see earlier on Facebook.

I think it's pathetic personally. Why are people still pleading with Tan? Why don't people grow a backbone and drive Tan out?

its the same question 18billion times..drive him out..and then?
its drivel

Hardly surprising Chelsea don't recognise us when our very own Vincent Tan doesn't ! # ONUTTA #TANOUT#DESPOT

It's quote funny really Tan has tried to change us to a red team, the blue is now 100 times more important and worn and supported than it was before he came.

He couldn't have really done a better job of encouraging the fans to support the team with blue ....

Chelsea gets confused and thinks Cardiff City fans are their fans
By Ryan Rosenblatt  @RyanRosenblatt on May 13 2014.


Chelsea isn't quite clear on which club they are or what their fans look like.

Chelsea wanted to thank their fans for traveling to Cardiff City on the final day of the season so they took to Facebook, only there was a tiny problem.



Those aren't Chelsea fans.

In fact there are five scarves held aloft that pretty clearly say "Cardiff City" on them, even in the photo. And then there's that banner, which talks about the club's decision to adopt red as its dominant color. At last check, Chelsea still wear blue at home. The banner also reference Vincent Tan, who does not own Chelsea.

Away end I meant. We were all in blue anyway. Quite a few non-cockney accents too. I'm sure the bloke in front of me about three rows normally sits behind me. My ST went to the wife's cousin. All she did was complain after. First and last time.
