Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

What is it about the media in this damm Country? They are the first to jump on Chelsea's back when things go wrong. Bad behaviour, on the field, off the field, talk about money all the time, no credit for winning two titles back-to back, early support for Man Utd cos they lead the table.

They love to run my beloved club down. I always knew that the press in this country were nothing short of scum when it comes to their reporting of Chelsea Football Club but after the emotion of JFH scoring at Chelsea on Saturday, an equaliser to boot in front of the Matthew Harding stand, they criticise the reactions of the Blue boys in chanting Jimmy's name and applauding his goal.

You plainly could see how much it affected JFH when the ball went in. You could see that even though JFH had his job to do he didn't celebrate his first goal for his new club. Instead he turned to the Matthew Harding and applauded them back.

Well done Jim. We love you.

But what happens you open up your Sunday and Monday morning papers and Chelsea fans get criticised for being arrogant. Arrogant for what?

All we Chelsea fans did was to applaud a former hero's goalscoring effort. Even Jose described the applause and adulation 'as a beautiful moment.' JM also said 'that it would never happened in Portugal. A beautiful moment!'

The press in this Country wouldn't recognise a beautiful moment if it stood up and slapped them sqaure in the face.

I loved that moment too. JFH is a real legend and I'm really impressed by the way he curbed his celebration as a mark of respect for his erstwhile club.

This reminds me og Gudjohnsen who said that he wouldnt celebrate f he scores against Chelsea!
