the tactics were wrong, when pizarro came on we looked really good but we gave arsenal the first half and against a team like them you can't afford to do that. We left ourselves too much to do.

thats a wise guess. No Drogba, no Essien, No Terry. Hmmmm we are in serious trouble. 3 fractured bones in his foot, this is fucking bollocks. I'm getting so pissed off its untrue, its so fucking frustrating!

Mistakes happen, SWP made an equally bad mistake with missing that sitter. Its impossible to slate the best goalkeeper in our history because of a moment of miss-judgment. Just a shame it happened when it did.

Arsenal vs the top 4 = 5 points, 2 games were at home Man Utd vs the top 4 = 7 Points, 1 game was at home (They have done very well, should have got 9 really) Liverpool vs the top 4 = 2 points, 2 games were at home Chelsea vs the top 4 = 1 point, but all away from home. We aint played at home to any of these yet, i know it looks bad, but its true. Anyway nobody here is happy the AG is our manager and nobody is certainly convinced about him. Its still Jose's team for the 1 millionth time. We might of lost these with Jose too with these injuries and these same players. You can't say we definitely wouldnt of lost these with Jose.

i had a dream too (Was actually a real dream, no bollocks lol) I was gutted when i woke up.

he was obviously gonna booed relentlessly but he was outstanding yesterday. If he gets banned for that its rediculous. Why fans can abuse and players have to ignore it is stupid. Anyway, whats a fine gonna do? Fuck all so fuck it. I doubt he'll get banned.

he better fucking buy the wanker, if he dont buy and dont buy well we aint winning anything and its as plain and as simple as that. Striker avram, striker you ugly bastard.

and those games being away to man utd and away to arsenal, conceding just on half time from a corner each time. We have injuries and key players out. The only thing we do wrong is play sheva up front on his own, he's hopeless on his own. He's no Drogba at all. Jose wouldve had the same problem yesterday, he wouldve probably put sheva up front on his own aswell. Jose couldn't hack the scousers at anfield except that 4-1 game a few years back. We were terrible there twice last year, even worse this year but the ref got us off the hook.

well its obvious Shevchenko can't play on his own, we definitely looked better when pizarro came on and caused arsenal trouble. But saying that, we still almost got away with it, missed a few chances but just wasnt to be.

can't say a bad word about you. Known you for a year now since the previous TalkChelsea and you're great. Good poster, speak with sense, have really good knowledge and never shy to get your point across, even if it means having a major argument (which i know you'll win). You always stand up for what you believe in. Loved ya from day 1 ppl i like the most are probs.... TrueBlue Mike Cara FB

honestly i'm not a Grant lover. I just want the grinch to be called a prick after he's fucked us up and not before. Ive been called some terrible things in my 21 year old life, but Grant lover is waaaaay to far!

looking at the draw, we dont have any team to worry about. Usually theres a team that you want to avoid, but this year theres not. Roma would struggle against us because of out physical side, they'll get massively over powered by us. I wouldnt want them tho because they are a bunch of horrible dirty cunts and when they're behind they lose dicipline badly.

well even i know that

I understand Tri-Blue, seriously, but i don't have a reason to call grant a wanker yet ("yet" being the key word).

He's probably just busy, i wouldn't read anything into it unless it goes on for a few days. If nothing went wrong and you had a good time on Friday, then there's nothing to worry about. If you send him a text and he doesnt reply for a few days, then there's probably a problem.

A real fan is someone who simpy supports the team no matter what. Maybe it looks as tho i'm contradicting myself but i'm not the kind of person who will post bollocks for no no reason. I'll call avram grant a cunt when he buys shit players and we get knocked out of the FA Cup at home to Accrington Stanley or Leyton Orient. I won't call him a cunt now because quite frankly, he hasnt done anything except pick Jose's team. I meant i'll give opinions and say what i feel. In the past, ive slated Ballack, Mikel and other players because they have not looked bothered and the critisism has been worthy. If someone plays shit, i'll say it. If we play shit, i'll say it. On the other hand, if someones good, i'll say it too. I judge things on what i see.

yeah but again, you can't blame him for losing 1-0 to a team like Arsenal away, if SWP had scored we wouldve probably drawn, i dont think its grant's fault he missed that chance. Its also not his fault that Drogba and Essien were injured and John Terry got injured. We still played very well in the second half. P.S Regarding this thread, all i am saying is one thing. PLEASE.... comment on Grant after we see what he does in the transfer window in a few weeks at least. I understand where some of you are coming from but its not his team yet, all he is doing is picking Jose's starting XI, nothing has changed. I don't know how you can judge him because you have absolutelly no idea what kind of manager he is. I make hasty posts when i'm pissed off and i'll appologise for the posts i have made in here. I see my Chelsea team doing well and i'm happy about that. I see no reason to vent anger at our manager when i don't know what he has or hasnt done. I'm as pissed off as all of you that he was appointed, trust me, but i'm just giving him a chance, as fans, you should do the same.

I would like to fill this out but to be honest i would probably say the same thing about most people here. Theres a few ppl that ive got to know really well since i joined TalkChelsea.co.uk on new years day of this year. And ive got a good relationship with some of the CFC-Fans/TC.net guys too. I'll give some views on the guys and other things that stand out the most to me though. Everyone needs an EskWeston and a Bluelion. Esk has tremendous knowledge about pretty much every aspect of Chelsea Football Club, whether its the reserves, the youth team or full team. He probably knows about our Dissabled team, womens team, blind team and deaf team lol. He's a brilliant poster and he says things as they are and always gets his points across. He also does a very good job on the Starting line up prediction thread and helps a lot with all aspects of the forum. Also posts heaps of useful info. Bluelion is a very busy guy, i'm not sure how he gets so much time to do things lol, he does great reports which are done in great detail and he also does a very good job on the prediction league. He also helps out a lot on other things and tries to bring fresh ideas to the board. Also we need the site owners, Jim and Dave have done a very good job on this site after the problems that happened which caused CFC-Fans to come to an end. They've done a great job getting this site back up and running. The site looks good and they have shown excellent commitment. Always willing to go that extra mile and putting new features on the board. I have a problem with certain "Fans" tho. We have fans here that spend all their time having a go at our foreign fans, our manager and our board. These people need to focus on supporting the team instead of disgusting comments like "i hope we go on a really bad run so grant gets the boot" These are not real Chelsea fans. I don't give a toss if you have gone to away games and supported Chelsea for 30 years, The team comes first and if we're doing well, then everything is just fine and theres nothing to worry about. At present, Chelsea of 2007 stands like this. Premiership Title contenders, Champions League title condenders, 72 games unbeaten at home, always get far in the domestic cups and won both last season. Its fucking rosey. 3 UCL Semi's in 4 years speaks volumes. Now the abuse of our foreign fans annoys me too. We have people like TrueBlue and Mungii who are great posters and know a lot about the team, they are not fans because we are good now, they have been fans for a decade and beyond and they need a break from tossers who have nothing better to do like post horrible, snide comments towards them. Overall, i love the forum, i love the majority of people and i enjoy being here. I dissappear sometimes because i see threads with daft rumours and a lot of bitching and i think "what a bunch of idiots". Sometimes i think theres no point me being here. I post video's in the gold room of highlights, no1 comments which surprises me. I was gonna do more but ovbiously there's no need, i probably will anyway because a forum needs things like that i believe. Anyway i'll come here as much as possible because i love my team, it's the biggest thing in my life and i need this place to express good feelings, bad feelings and let off steam. Ill say things as they are and if i don't like something, i'll make it known and if they don't like it, thats tough shit.

to be honest, when maka went off, we looked really good and deserved to get something. That SWP miss well now haunt me till we play the cunts again. Oh well, you lose you win, when you have no Drogba, no Essien, John Terry going off injured, GK makes a terrible error (or 2) midjuging the corner, having no goalscorers and playing a bunch of horrible scummy cheats, what can you do? Arsenal are scum, I don't like Eboue, i dont like Cesc-Pit Fabregas, i just hate them. Lampard didn't get forward, he didn't look bothered. Meh fuck it, we gotta just get on with it. We rely on Drogba to much for top team. But on the possitive side, we looked good in the second half, can't fault the effort, just needed a bit of luck. We have a few hard games coming up now and around christmas time so we need to win as many of them as poss because its the most important time of the season. 6 Points is by no means a disaster on December 16th. the top 4 all have to play each other again. We have no more trips to a top 4 side now so at least they're out the way.

i'll sign up for this now. I'll try and be consistant, this is more fun than predicting avrams teams every week. I gave that one up time ago.

she's lamps' bit on the side for when his missus goes away.

we need to score to win games. Without drogba, we are so lightweight up front its incredible. We are in serious trouble in this match i can't for life of me see us getting any kind of a result. Against valencia, we played really well, but our strikers were inept. Kalou's finishing ability (or lack of) is starting to piss me off, he gets in such great possitions and wastes it nine times outa 10. Sheva seems to tread water, we need him with kalou's chances. Pizarro just plays too deep and well, he's rusty as hell anyway. If we win tomorrow, it will be a miracle. Essien is just as big of a miss and thats why i'm not exactly over confident.

well he's signed, there aint a god damn thing any of you can do about it. Get on with it, shut the fuck up and support him, even if Hitler was Chelsea's manager, i would support him, hes our manager for christ sake, this thread is absolute madness and insane (but most of you are a buch of twats anyway so i can forgive you for that). In 1 year or 18 months, you can post about how shit or how good a manager he is. If we have won the Champions league, League, fa cup or Every fucking thing by then, you ppl would be a bit quiet wouldnt you. Ah no, stupid me, you'll just say Clarke and Ten-Cate won it so this guy can't win. Because he's not a big name, he's automatically a cunt, classy.

but it wouldve been the same for any manager at this stage. i said lets wait and see....... Depending who he buys in the next year or 2 will make it "his" team and then we can judge. We cant judge fuck all at the moment because we still don't know.

As long as Chelsea are playing well and winning, who the fuck cares who's manager, i dont. I want to see a winning Chelsea team first and foremost. We have qualified for the next phase of the champions league, we're only 3 points behind in the league, Carling Cup quarter finals, Home Banker in the FA Cup......... Cant you just shut up and see whats gonna happen. He aint done a god damn thing wrong so far, get of his case.
