Its not kissing Joses arse, its just basic fact that this shit would never of happened under him. When this happens to our team, ppl are gonna look back to Jose because Joses tactics 90% of the time were absolutely brilliant and the game changed. The man knew what he was doing except at St James' in the FA Cup and Fulham Away in the League but at least he didnt shy away from making decisions. 2004-2005, 95 points, 1 defeat. Record vs The big 3. Arsenal Home 0-0, Away 2-2 = 2 Points Man Utd Home 1-0, Away 3-1 = 6 Points Liverpool Home 1-0, Away 1-0 = 6 points 14 Points (0 Defeats) 2005-2006, 91 points (i think) and again unbelievably good vs the big 3 Arsenal Home 1-0, Away 2-0 = 6 Points Man Utd Home 3-0, Away 0-1 = 3 Points Liverpool home 2-0, Away 4-1 = 6 Points 15 Points (1 Defeat) 2006-2007 Arsenal Home 1-1, Away 1-1 = 2 Points Man Utd Home 0-0, Away 1-1 = 2 Points Liverpool home 1-0, Away 0-2 = 3 Points 7 Points (1 Defeat) 2007-2008 Arsenal Home 2-1, Away 0-1 = 3 Points Man Utd Home 2-1, Away 0-2 = 3 Points Liverpool home 0-0, Away 1-1 = 2 Points 8 Points (2 Defeat) We always Competed. Ok so the last 2 years werent so special but it was all even, everyone took points against each other and we fought in every game. We only lost 4 games in 4 seasons against those teams. Most of last season was with Avram ok but he was using Joses team and staf pretty much. 2008-2009 Arsenal Home 1-2 Man Utd Home 1-1, Away 0-3 = 2 Points Liverpool home 0-1 1 Point, 3 defeats out of 4....unthinkable 2-3 years back. Anyway about the game on Sunday... If you look at it closely, it was a bit like last year. The last minute injury time first half opener changed the game. Ok Mikel was sent off last year but theres a lot of diffeence between being 0-0 and being 1-0 down at half time. We had chances in the 2nd half that just didnt go our way. Drogba's first touch let him down and that wouldve been a great chance. He then miskicked another chance, you never know what wouldve happened if he had caught it and lampard so nearly got on the end of a ball on the edge of the box. Fine lines. 0 shots on target is bad yeah but we really almost created openings. After the 2nd goal tho we were absolutely awful tho and it was game over after that. We're not too far away perhaps. 3 Crosses and 3 Goals. It was all defensive mistakes, we werent cut open as such, just a bad day for us.

lol dunno bout that being why we lost, if anything, getting up early is a good thing. prepare and wake up and focus early. When i played, i had to get up early.

Clji...... Think your looking for Cluj but yeah i remember now and we were lucky to win that, another awful performance with a late winner. Well hopefully the omens are good then for the ITV boys

I would like to see Kenyon out, tbh i wouldnt even care is RA decided to fuck off too. Kenyon is a manc and we all know that. But then again i dont really care what happens as long as all this shit gets sorted out. The Ranieri/Mourinho days seem a very very long time gone. We all have to get behind the team tho through this period, the players are suffering too. We're having a bad spell, i'm sure we'll be ok. Nobody is miles ahead of us in the league and we have a great chance to get to the 5th round of the fa cup (southend then Ipswich). The UCL will be tough as Juve are the kind of team that we cant play against but we're not in the worst possition at the moment. Could be worse.

Ive a feeling we might take some frustration out on Southend tomorrow, dunno why you guys are saying we aint been on tv for a while, we're on sky like every fucking week. Everton, Man Utd, West Ham (all terrible). I dont remember the last time we won on TV tho. Normal service should resume tomorrow, i'm going for a 3-0 win. Early goal will be nice and a decent attacking performance will be nice also for a change. We aint played well since Villa.

I would like to move on but how the fuck can i. Since sacking Jose, we've been going backwards and we'll never be the same side again. Jose wants to come back to England, hes said that he will come back and him and Roman still talk. I aint gonna give up the possibility that he'll be back. They still talk, wtf would they talk about? Who the hell would Jose go to? Only Man City would be the other option. He wouldnt go to Liverpool, Arsenal or Man Utd. Ive got a real genuine feeling that he'll come back.

what a change 2 years has made lol. i wont say much because theres no need, just that this was the most embarrassing thing ive seen. Its against man utd, a game where theres no excuses if your not up for it. Old trafford, 80,000 fans, playing the team that screwed us in that UCL final, revenge....you're playing MANCHESTER UNITED FOR FUCK SAKE!! Just cant believe what i just watched. I dunno whats happening i really dont. i dont even know 1 play that played well. We couldve lost 5-0 today with no complaints.

The last thing we need is Anelka on the wing. If hes gonna play him hes gotta play him along side drogs in 4-4-2. Hes wasted on the wing. Anyway Jose is gonna be in the crowd, be good to see us beat them infront of him. We can win this.

This game is gonna make our season, its gonna turn us around and we wont look back after sunday. i can feel it, i'm so confident about this game. I realy dont think man utd are setting the world alight. a 1-0 here and there, i just feel we've got them. JT and Riccy back and we're certainly due a bit of luck. Man utd have had plenty of that lately and its bout to run out. Where better place to turn things around than old trafford.

Ive been desperate to see the 4-4-2 for ages. It seems to me that scolari has no interest in it what-so-ever. we would be a better team using the standard 4-4-2 but he just aint interested. really pisses me off. Maybe he'll play it away to southend....or maybe not.

Well, agreed with what everyone is saying. Heaint gonna play much for us anyway so everyone would be losing if he doesnt go. Pointless keeping him here.

why are ppl so worried about the manc game. They cant score goals and they havnt looked good either. We'll turn things round i'm sure but we do have some real wank in our squad.

i posted mine once but probs on the other forum. Ive got every home, away and 3rd strip from 1995 so thats about 25. I'll put em up soon

We'll turn it round i'm sure, but on current form we have no fukin chance. We aint breaking teams open or creating anything. Can we win the league? Yes, no1 is playing great so theres every chance. We're still in a good possition to sort it all out starting with a win at old trafford on sunday.

the city mancs are losing 2-0 at home to nottingham forest. Good day for the forest people so far today even tho derby have scored 2 and now its 2-2 rofl Just would to see us open up southend a bit more and produce some real quality goals to get some confidence. i think we're lacking confidence atm.

fuck it, i'm watching forest green vs derby.

Forest Green are beating Derby 2-0.....

Ballack and Deco have been shit lately. Deco was a 1 month wonder (August honeymoon period) and Mikel is always half asleep. I personally would move Joe Cole into the center with Lampard, play either Ballack or Mikel in the holding role and let Essien play more freely, maybe even a diamond with 2 up top. When Lampard was injured last season, Essien was the one who attacked and he did a great job and scored a few in that period. I just hate this 4-3-3. we dont have the players to play it consistantly. At least we can try something like that against Southend surely....Well i doubt it. Just make sure Malouda doesnt play please god

sell malouda please, let arsenal have him. lol you really would think we were skint. We need 2 wingers, we NEED 2 wingers if we're gonna keep playing this shit 4-3-3 that plain and simply doesnt work at home.

we say it every year about starting the youngsters and it never happens. This really is the perfect time to do it.

Wouldve prefered it to be away but shit happens lol. We'll obviously go through.

We do well there lately. Never won there until like 2003 or whatever. We've won there like 6 or 7 straight. We're due a win, Bolton are due a defeat. Formality 2-0

I know this might sound dodgy but i think an Persie was onside. The linesman told the referee that Bosingwa was playing him on and when they froze the screen to check if Van Persie was off, yes it looked like he was easily off but Bosingwa wasnt in the picture. He was on the right hand side so he wasnt seen in the shot. Well correct me if i'm wrong lol. Anyway, fucking Arsenal. Well Fucking Chelsea really, complete bottle job. Bullies to the shit, bottlers to the strong. Just lucky no1 is running away with it. When we appointed Scolari, i spoke to some portuguese guy that i know on another forum and he said thank god hes left portugal, he knows nothing about tactics, hes a shit manager. I said, Hang on, hes won the World cup with brazil, got Portugal to the Euro2004 final and WC2006 Semi Final etc. but now come to think of it, Scolari is tactically inept as has been shown against the big 3. This Chelsea team aint going nowhere but backwards. and fucking malouda....honest to god how can he wear the shirt of the team i love, almost makes me wanna cry. We need to go 4-4-2 and quickly. How many games are you gonna lose with Cech, Bosingwa, Terry, Carvalho, Cole, Ballack, Essien, Lampard, Deco, Anelka & Drogba (Obviously when everyone is fit but Mikel and Alex/ivanovic can play that too). The answer is not many at all. It doesnt take a rocket scientist or brain surgeon to realise that that is better than the current 4-3-3 bollocks.

After we went 1-0 against Man Utd, we showed nothing, just got a bit of luck with the goal and got away with it. When we went 1-0 down to liverpool we showed nothing and when we went 2-1 down to arsenal we showed nothing. All we are atm are bullies to the little teams. But that said, i just think we are an away kind of team. Great on the counter etc. We can beat the other 3 away i believe beause of our way of playing, just at home we look like we dont know how to play. You can clearly see the difference in Joses Chelsea and Scolari's Chelsea. This would never of happened under Jose. Not in a million years. I'm jus pleased that no1 is running away with it this year. nobody looks especially great and the big 4 will lose more. Man Utd and Liverpool dont look any better than us. We just need to carry on bullying the shit teams and we really need 7 points away to those other 3. First half was good yesterday, just after they scored we completely died. Even avrams Chelsea showed more desire than Scolari's lot.

True Chelsea Legend = William Gallas Won our titles with jose, was brilliant for us, went to arsenal and has made them one of the worst arsenal teams in history as captain. They aint won fuck all for like 4 years and at this present moment, i'm loving it. Keep up the good work willy boy. Same for Zola, hes doing a fine job also
