If you don't laugh, you'll cry.

Chelsea's supporters have endured a disastrous season.

The west London club were crowned Premier League champions for the fourth time in May but are now languishing in 16th place in the table after their 2-1 defeat to Leicester on Monday night.

Jose Mourinho's side have now won just four of their opening 16 games and are a solitary point above the relegation zone.

The prospect of Chelsea becoming embroiled in a battle for survival would have been ridiculed a matter of months ago but it's almost a reality.

The Blues' supporters in attendance at the King Power Stadium clearly hadn't lost their sense of humour and consoled themselves with a Bob Marley-inspired chant as they edged towards defeat.

However, the Blues' light-hearted singalong prompted a rather ruthless - but humorous - response from the Foxes' home crowd.

*WARNING* contains strong language

But that wasn't the end to the fans' slanging match.

The Leicester crowd also taunted the visitors after a stadium announcement confirmed that there was a long tailback on the A1; a route many Chelsea fans would have hoped to use to get back to west London.

What a way to kick the travelling Blues support while they were down.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">&#13; <p dir="ltr" lang="en">News of a 10-mile tailback southbound on the A1 greeted with roar like a goal by Leicester fans. "2-0 &amp; you're walking home."

Loic Remy did manage to nod home a consolation for Mourinho's men, but we doubt the Frenchman's effort made the journey home a happier one for the Chelsea fans in attendance.
