They dubbed it the London Rumble.
That evening, North London became explosive.
Passionate Chelsea fans in blue across North London came out in numbers, going on a blue parade around the city of London.
Blue ribbons, blue smoke, blue buses, Chelsea fans pulled out all stops, shutting London down on the 26th all in the preparation and passion for the game.
The fans in blue made their voices heard hours before the game.
From their actions, it was clear that they demanded nothing from their team but victory. Yes, Fulham was topping the premier league table.
Yes, Fulham was a team in incredible form, but Chelsea was equipped with the tools to win this game and since they were playing at home, the Chelsea fans wanted nothing but a convincing victory.
This was why they did all this fanfare.
