There has been a real re-igniting of the & #39;proper Chels& #39; vs & #39;non-match going fans& #39; culture wars in recent weeks - this appears to have stemmed from the Mason Mount/Frank Lampard criticism on social media since the re-start. Some observations .....

There is no & #39;them and us& #39; , & #39;loyal or plastic& #39; , & #39;better or worse& #39; between match going fans and those who don& #39;t or can& #39;t attend for whatever reason-a Chelsea fan is a Chelsea fan regardless of whether they can get to the games-so stop this stupid snobbery, we are all family

Having an opinion on players/the manager , using social media to express your views/frustration is fine - just don& #39;t tip into abuse . Critique and abuse are very different - calling for the head of the manager after 4 games or abusing a player you don& #39;t like is ridiculous

The idea that match going fans are blameless when it comes to abusing players/managers is also laughable - I& #39;ve been at plenty of games where individual players and managers have been booed and abused .. enough with the moral high ground , just accept its wrong whoever does it .

In summary, times are tough for all of us, the team is in transition , the manager is young and on a steep learning curve- it& #39;s going to be a lot more bearable if we all made an effort to support the team and spend less energy abusing each other -good times are coming #KTBFFH
