I'm still pretty gutted with the way Mourinho was dismissed but overall things are looking good under Grant. Perhaps he's not quite the dud everyone made him out to be. While the style of play under the new manager hasn't quite differed from the Mourinho era, Grant has been promising attacking football and that bides well for the future. I also understand that you can't play pretty all the time if you want to win, like how we learnt from the 1-1 draw against Everton, so I'm very much satisfied with the 1-0 win over West Ham today. Any win, however pathetic a display the preceded it would have done for me any day but winning big puts the icing on the cake. I remember I couldn't stop smiling after the 6-0 thrashing of Man City.
What worries me most, is how we will fare in Europe. We know that Grant has never had European experience prior to the Chelsea appointment, and Schalke, Valencia and Rosenborg are hardly up to the standards of the Reals and Milans whom we would meet in the latter stages of the tournament. Avram Grant is hardly the reassuring name that would calm nerves before a second-leg semi-final tie against Frank Rijkaard's Barcelona at the Camp Nou (for instance). We should also know that most teams Chelsea have played under Grant are mid-table sides (with the exception of City and United from Manchester), and the biggest test will come in the form of Arsenal in two weeks' time.
Overall, it's still a tad too early to say for sure how good Chelsea will turn out under Grant, but he seems set for the long term and I believe most Blues fans like myself will give him his full support.

You bet they are! Avram Grant has produced a more attractive brand of football to Chelsea. He gives the fans what they want.
Sure, that did cost him 2 points last week when we were 1 - 0 up against Everton. Jose would have chosen to defend the lead rather than what Grant did, trying to give the fans what they wanted (a second goal).
Jose makes Chelsea win. Avram makes them win with style.
All doubts have been removed. Avram is the right one for the job! Come on The Blues!
I will miss the Special One though!

all the armchair fans keep harping on about the mourinho and how the team are going to suffer but i think the results speak for themselves, Grant is going to go far with this team, at the end of the day the manager is only 1 person, if the team has quality then they will do well with any manager, there has been much talk of a crisis at chelsea, that is only because we set the bar so high, if we lose more than 1 game the panic mongers come out saying that the club is in freefall and abramovich is going to jump ship, all told we will always be fighting for top spot in the league, and with a couple more signings hopefully the CL aswell

ofcourse thing have gotten bettr, jose will surely be missd, and missd sorrowly. he brought discipline and the motive and for avram to bring that attiude again will be extremelely tough, but he has his ways an has used them excellently. I dont think this season there is that much of a need to win anything, but if we do win a trophy or 2, avram could be the one to take chelsea into the long term future

Yes. I figure Roman Abromovich knows how to "win". Roman has made billions. To me I figured he has all the money in the world and could pick anyone so if he picks Grant he must know something we do not. Plus you do not make a financial empire like his without knowing how to pick the right people for certain jobs in your organisation. Whether you are Jewish, Christian or Muslim, if you are a Chelsea fan you have to thank God for Roman A.

Watched the match today and Terry proved what a thug he is

Make a decision not to turn into one of those party people who drink all the time and get intimate with guys. Make a decision to be a positive and sweet individual. Be safe...Love you sis. <3

Chelsea are back to playing well I think the change has done them good but we all miss jose's flair.
