I know loads of Chav fans, to be fair, they're all nice people.

I was actually in London when they won the league for the first time in ages, I was out and about with another lad just dossing around and I actually had a Liverpool shirt on, but a coat on also.

One of my mates at the time was a season ticket holder for Chelsea and he called me up and asked if me and the lad I was with fancied going for a drink. I agreed without realising that I had basically walked into a full scale Chelsea love in title celebration.

The lad I know and his mates were cool, admittedly there were a few dicks, but I would say there is with any club. I didn't see or hear any racist chanting in the pubs I went too. In fact the only time I shrank in my seat a little was when they started singing the anti YNWA song. I checked the zip was all the way up then tbh........

I've seen and heard plenty of stories in the press about their fans and I'll be honest I never knew any of them prior to 2005 other than my bro in law who switched to Chelsea when Sheff Weds started losing.

I don't like our fans who do the Munich Plane to the Mancs and I don't like the United fans who sing always the victim etc. I think there's plenty of banter to be had without trolling the dead of another's club, disgusting.

Every club has its element of **** fans. Never been to a Chelsea game mind, either home or away so can't say how they act during match situation. But outside the stadium, the ones I know are fine.

So they're there, celebrating their first title win in decades, and they're singing about us?

Sums up what's wrong with them imo.

The minority are racist dickhead, the majority are this kind of dickhead.

LiverpoolLiverpool_FA_Cup_2012_2Time changes many things. Society constantly adapts. The way people dress and the way people speak evolves.

London is constantly changing. The city’s architecture is forever developing. Its demography has never stood still. In a short walk around the capital, one cannot fail to see how the skyline is crammed with construction cranes and the pavements filled with people from all over the world.

Change is not new to London but possibly the pace of change is. Areas that have been for decades, rough run down and deprived are now centres of hipster activity and once bohemian parts of town are now gentrified and firmly in the hands of the professional classes.

The language spoken throughout London is also evolving. Take a look at films from the 1940s or 1950s and compare the accents with those that we hear today. The cut glass plummy tones of the upper classes and the cor blimey cockney sounds of normal people have both evolved and will continue to mutate as London evolves. The accents are moving together, blurring in the centre.

Liverpool is not so blessed. In the past it has changed. Changed from a small estuary village to a major international port and then to a relic of the past. The people have also changed. Lancastrian originally and then immigration from Ireland, Wales and the Americas, forged a separate identity.

At one time Liverpool looked outwards to the world and its people reflected that and their accent was derived from many different places.

But today, Liverpool looks only inwards. The accent that it adopted in the 1950s has not gently merged into the more refined accents of the surrounding areas. The accent of the docks is now a more pronounced accent of the dole queue.

As Liverpool has ceased to play a role in the world, so too, its people have ceased to take their culture from that outside world but look, instead, ever inwards.

Scouse as a concept has it origins in fairly recent times. Scouse was truly only identified by linguists as recently as the 1950s. The pop music and poetry, the comedies and dramas of the 1960s and 1970s solidified scouse in the popular imagination and allowed Liverpudlians pride in a city which was suddenly left without a purpose.

Success in the 1970s and 1980s on the football pitch reinforced that pride and left scousers clinging to an idea rather than a reality. Their sense of local pride reinforced an identity and, as a consequence, the nature of scouse, and with it its accent, evolved.

Scouse is one of the only accents, in this day of instant communication, world wide media and travel, that has become stronger and less intelligible. It is as though the people of Liverpool are telling the world that they are content only to communicate with each other. It is as though Liverpool, as a city, is an ostrich with its head firmly placed under the sand trying desperately to ignore the reality of the world that exists outside it.

Liverpool grew to greatness by embracing the world and the influences of the world. It was the European gateway to the New World. Now that that role has been replaced by Heathrow airport, it has turned inwards.

In the same way that gene pools are strengthened by cross fertilisation and are weakened by inbreeding, cities and communities grow strong by accepting external influences and grow weak by ignoring them.

Liverpool, if not its people, is as a city, today, inbred.

A rare beam of light will shine on a chosen few of its population who will, with others claiming allegiance to a city with which they have no connection, will travel to Stamford Bridge for a festival of football and a celebration of success.

Many will have bought their tickets in the hope of witnessing a meltdown similar to the one they saw last year but in reverse. They are already disappointed. They come instead to watch a lap of honour.

And they should do so in the sun.

It will be warm, between 19 and 21 degrees and the wind will blow from the south at around 10mph. There will be some cloud but otherwise the sky like the day will be blue.

The sun will set at around 8:30 pm The moon will be in the last quarter. Pollen from trees could be a problem.

There are a number of people who take exception to my views about flat caps. The elderly gents of Chelsea Fancast, in particular, are up in arms on the subject. Given their age and general infirmity, I suppose we should allow the this one indulgence but I would suggest that Sunday may be a little warm for a tweed cap upon one’s head.

Let’s talk instead of footwear.

White trainers are, I am reliably informed, the footwear of choice for this summer’s young trendy people.

Please note the adjective “young”. Brilliant white trainers on more elderly, or indeed middle aged men, give you the appearance of being a gym master. You know, that somewhat seedy, stale sweaty look that gym masters, dressed always in elasticated tracksuits which gave them an appearance of having been dipped in plastic, used to affect in the 1970s and 1980s. A slightly creepy look made worse by their insistence on going commando. A Jimmy Savile look. A permed hair, shell suit wearing stereo typical scouser look.

Best avoided.

Brown or black shoes or boots are some much better on the more mature gentleman.

Remember, you are Chelsea and Chelsea is style. What a ****
