I have seen this kind of demise in clubs under the following types of situation: a - Transfers were made but all failed. b - Economic problems, problems with justice, political. c - All the talent sold out. d - Rapid aging. We seem to fall into (d). Chelsea was rendered as hopeless as the national team of Greece at this point in time.

It's beyond the special one now. It's beyond anyone's powers. But I 'm afraid he played a role in this. It's a team unworthy of the division.

Disgrace never seen before.

Shame again. Porto are a skillful fighting side but no more than that. The defense is non existent.

I expect we are going to win in the second half. Also Arsene Wenger is such a dummy. My god.

There should be one British league, with England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales together. The idea of having three separate football-wise nations, is a relic of the distant past from beforethewars. Football was regarded as an inland sport so, they said, why not have a few British national teams to play each other ? The British did not even participate in the first European champion cups, the Pushkas-Di Stefano years, To the football supremos of the time it looked a low key affair, like one of those American summer series we have now (the one CFC took part this year). It was England only back then and in fact the team was not bad really. They could n't win the world cup, but they were good - not the "this is a ball and this is a net" stuff we hear today. The artificial division does n't make sense anymore and the nations should unite.

They will inevitably become provincial football-wise. Barca dead.

Those players we have are trying. There is also some training going on with the best physios around and some running. They don't hang around in the training ground and drink beers (maybe some upper Ruritanian teams were doing that in the fifties). But this is their limit in the present day and age and any Mourinho mistakes might have costed us 3-4 points at this stage and no more. Let's face it, the fail took place during the transfer period. The new players hardly make it to the starting 11, one was sent back to Italy. Back then I said we need 15% enhancement, bearing also economic considerations in mind. That means 1.65 world class players, effectively. Begovitch is one, granted, only he is replacing the injured Tibot who is also world class. Further down there is nothing new and Pedro is hardly enough to change things dramatically.

I placed a small wager on the equalizer. It does n't look good for Chels. It's an oldie but goodie side these days.

It's Newcastle United and Garincha's Brazil in this world.

She heard the curses 10 days later from one of the videos. It's the club's fault because they should have asked for a cooling off period.

Revolution - Lenin in October, that was.

Yeah. Langley played in GR for a while. Likeable fellow. I was a regular at the bridge when he first showed up. He was a certainty for the next England selection - then that injury.

There are rudiments of logic in this. But it was the club that did not treat the issue cleverly, following the row.

If we had someone like Suarez biting people I might understand an internal row. But this is crazy. How many players in the past have criticized managers but without going into the transfer list as a result ? None ? So the tweet she made was out of order but not catastrophic. Ultimately the club did not handle it at all well.

Bs. Assume Jose was right and she and Fearn had rather have left Hazard down, to get up using his own devices. Then the referee after seeing Hazard back up was going to resume play and forget about the medics. But the two medics had to be Houdini - Nostradamus magicians to guess that ! Jose was 20 meters away and he gives them no instruction whatsoever - only curses when he sees them inside. You people are not professionals but not alien to soccer by a long chalk. Given that you agree with Jose's logic and not the strict medical protocol, what would you do if you were Fearn or Carneiro ? It's a ludicrous situation. It should be buried and forgotten and return to normal.

Eva should stay until she becomes a granny. The situation will be reversed tomorrow.

Because you are anti-Carneiro. But were you not in a minority of 1 to 9 last month when we were writing about it ?

Maybe it's not definite. The only indication that she left the club seems to be her not turning up for work. Jose more or less owned up in the interview and he said she can come back. So there is no dismissal as such has taken place. Both sides should compromise - it's what the fans demand.

Watched the 2nd half of City v. W. Ham. The Hammers were kicking the ball high in the air. City had some fluency we don't seem to have but no balls, they are the perpetual losers. I liked their movement down the flanks, even though it produced no result for them. We used to play like that.

Good performence by Zouma.

2-0 against 9 men. One chance created every new geological period. Arsene refuses to shake hands.

The match cannot stand any criticism - Israelis too weak. Hazard must be a psychological wreck. Their inexperienced keeper sold himself before the penalty was taken and then Hazard shot the ball at the roof of the stadium. I did n't like Costa's goal either - fluke. Willian's also fluke of course. No progress to report today.

Foul - Oscar will score.
