  1. To fix this team is a Herculean task, having already wasted lots of money last summer uselessly. To put it in numbers one billion plus is needed. And when I say one billion it must be in one season. One billion in five-six seasons means nothing, given also that players come of age. I 've seen in my lifetime a big Chelsea team destroyed. The 1971 team (Osgood-Cooke-Hudson ...). After a few years we were playing second division football and only after Roman in the nineties did the world see us again. But in 1971 the board was penniless. For three-four years there was not one tranfer made (good-medium quality-failed). Now it's supposed to be a different Chelsea. But just the same the clouds are gathering.
  2. Would n't be better if we were comunist.
  3. Why did we give Zouma to West Ham ? He was getting away with penalties.
  4. How the 'eck would the striker get the ball ? It's desert Gobbi out there.
  5. 8-0 result on the cards. I 'm not watching anymore. I 'm going to take a shower and then off to the fish and chips restaurant. For those of you who visit Athens the English fish and chips restaurant is Athinaidos street no 13.
  6. Potter stay where you are to save yourself the train ticket.
  7. Kepa and Cucu fell asleep. If teams could score goals like that all the matches would and 6-6.
  8. There 's two ways of looking at glass of water. Half full and half empty. Imagine we were playing championship last year. Everyone would say "wow, look at Chelsea, they have reached the middle of the table". We were not playing in the championship league so everyone says "it's a disaster". But really we deserve no better than middle of the table. Why do we ? So what I think is happening is we have no "damage control" at Chelsea. We panic. To make things better lots of enhancements are needed but perhaps not beyond the club's budget. We ought to have recognized this before we sacked Tuchel, which was not a wise move.
  9. On paper it looks as if we are going to be thrashed. But there are some cracks in the seams of the Pep team. The premiership is gone unless Arsenal's performance so far proves to be a firework, which does n't look likely. In the cl he has three giants to overcome, Real Madric, PSG, Bayern Munich so it's not easy.
  10. Kepa is to blame for the goal. It was easy, he was nutmegged. Also I did not understand the slow motion football we played. Worse than Lampard wall. We were not playing like that during Lampard wall. We could n't score but we were not playing like that.
  11. Poor management. Even before Roman left but afterwards the management at all levels has been really disastrous.
  12. English managers are good only for Southgate football, without Southgate's luxury to collect the best players from all over the country. I 'd like to see Emery Unai.
  13. When you say pathetic second half it seems you did n't watch the first half which was just as pathetic. Azpi looks too old now. All he could do was collect simple balls. Havertz had nobody to give him a decent pass.
  14. I have n't seen a Chelsea team totally absent from the pitch for many a year.
  15. PELE IN GREECE Let's remember a funny story of the departed, as is the custom. It's about the famous Olympiakos - Santos 2-1 of 1961, which was made into a song by the bouzouki master Giorgos Zambetas. What happened then ? Santos had been touring Europe where they gave a thrashing to all the known European giants of the time: Real Madrid, Benfica, Inter, Juventus ... They also came to Greece for just one game, against AEK Athens and Santos won by 3-0. But the Greek association managed to convince the Brazilians to play one more, against Panathinaikos and Santos again won by 3-2. After this they all went to the beach, Asteras-Glyfada, to spend a couple of days and then fly to Brazil. The players were swimming all day and the consumption of beer was breaking a record. But at this point the agents convinced the Santos team to play one more, against Olympiakos of Piraeus ! The players were clueless about it and did not understand what was going on. So they were pulled out of the water by force. Pele after consuming lots of beer was sound asleep. Someone pressed his tummy with his finger to wake him up and a beer jet came out and hit the ceiling, or so the ancient employees of EOT Asteras-Glyfada relate. So they were all taken on stretchers to the stadium to play with Olympiakos and lost 2-1. Also the referee of the match favoured Olympiakos by sending off one of the Santos players (Coutinho) and Santos finished with ten men,
  16. Left walking but the French commentator I was listening to kept saying "la saison et termnee".
  17. Against serious opposition we wer going to lose easily. Only excuse it was after long break.
  18. They all looked tired in the second half especially Zakarya.
