Another reason to despise that scummy team down the road:

"On a tour round Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground, our guide proudly showed me and my sons the lockers in the visiting team's changing room, which were tiny squares at floor level. A visiting footballer would have to get on their knees before the game, heads down, to squeeze their designer clothes and jewellery into the very small space.

However apparently trivial this might seem, this was a clever and ruthless move by Chelsea. They were forcing their opponents to adopt a primitive posture of submission.

Defeated mammals make themselves small, as you can see in the cowed, tail-between-the-legs and head-down posture of any beaten dog.

Football players are no different, as we saw vividly in the curled-up misery of the Bayern Munich players after their defeat by Chelsea. Victorious animals and humans in contrast make themselves big - arms and chest out, taking up as much space as possible - a primitive display of dominance."

They should put the shower heads at knee level.

Are we talking about lockers small enough to be filled with human excrement AFTER a game? Cool

Meanwhile Chelsea are in trouble for breaking the champions league trophy. We all know they should have never been allowed near it. Now the world has proof in front of their eyes.

Such tactics are not new.

I think it was John Beck whilst at Cambridge who had the temperature of the changing rooms turned down deliberately and I further recall another club lowering the temperature of the showers.

Don't Arsenal do something as well? I am sure there are plenty more examples like, Turkish fans stoning the away team's coach or fans in certain banana republics shooting buses and hurling abuse at the arriving away team as Chelsea received when coming to HQ last year. Wink

Mind you, putting valuables into low lying lockers was never a problem for those of us reared back in the day....we had a valuables bag and the subs' responsibility was to look after it!
