Iggy Doonican

On Ebay they are selling badges of the 1970's team as individual badges. This costs £3 I might buy it because real art should be seen by a bigger audience and that hairstyle is a masterpiece.

Remember playing Bristol Rovers in 1980 we beat them 1-0 with a goal by Gary Chivers. The game at Eastville was a bit lively to say the least we lost 3-0 and there was loads of trouble with many Chelsea fans getting banned for life.

Think the word preseason is a relevant one. To use an Olympic analogy it's fine winning all your heats but it's what you do in the final that counts.

And Moses who doesn't inspire massive confidence. I have mentioned it before but when Conte tells Moses what to do will he put it on a Tablet ?

In 1998 we signed Mikael Forssell I was genuinely excited. I thought we are now a force to be reckoned with we've got a genuine young prospect and our scouting network seems to be one of the best. Forssell didn't quite make it and ever since then it's been the same old story to the point where if I read Chelsea are interested in any youngster I just think waste of time for that poor kid. Traore if he does go on loan will be a travesty especially while keeping Remy who's either always injured or seems disinterested. Just utterly baffling if it happens but as he's a Chelsea youngster not that surprising .

I see that gravel voiced twat Sean Dyche has been moaning about not getting enough respect. The worse thing is he refer's to himself in the third person if there's one thing Iggy Doonican hates it's that. 'Antonio Conte came in at Chelsea and he got commended for bringing a hard, fast, new leadership to Chelsea, which involved doing 800 metre runs, 400m runs and 200m runs. 'Come to my training and see Sean Dyche doing that and you'd say 'dinosaur, a young English dinosaur manager, hasn't got a clue'. So is it perception or is it fact? I have no problem with it. It's the reality I say.'

Just sums the geezer up alienating one of your players just to win a poxy friendly.

Mikel is like the final guest at a party doesn't matter how many hints you give them they just won't leave. When he retires he will probably get a job when the refurbishment of the Bridge starts as a water carrier.

Yes like a Doctor Who assistant on acid.

I've lost the will to live.

This is my last word on this but you say'' Why do you imagine that you can see the things Brana is doing poorly but that Jose can't''. I'm hardly alone thinking that am I ?. The I'm not going to pretend to myself that I'm somehow cleverer then he is we are talking about full backs for God's sake have some perspective. As for Aguero being the worse managerial decisions in Chelsea's history is hyperbole. Docherty sending the players home after going on the piss in Blackpool we would have won the league that year. Sexton selling Osgood and Hudson, Bates replacing John Neal with Hollins etc etc.

That EE advert with Rio Ferdinand nearly brought up my dinner after seeing that.

I really don't see your point at all it's almost as if you think managers and coaches are above criticism. You seem to be from the school of thought like Steve Claridge and Robbie Savage that if you haven't played or managed at the top level your point of view is meaningless. Saying Lampard is the best player in the world is just basically a manager bigging up one of his players nothing more. He obviously didn't notice that Ivan was playing terribly or he just picked him out of loyalty or pig headiness Stevie Wonder would have noticed how out of form Ivan was. The last bit I've read a couple of times and I still can't make head nor tail of it. How can you logically say that playing a massively out of form centre back is the best available option when you have a genuine right back in Dave.

47 million quid for a bloke who can't dislodge Smalling from the England team!!! I think we dodged a bullet there.

In 2002-3 the season before Roman came we were so skint our transfer outlay was £500,000 on Oliveria and a free transfer in De Lucas. Since then we have spent millions upon millions on new players and had unparalleled success. Now we can no longer spend that amount of money my advice is learn to live with it. We have hopefully a new Bridge on the way which is going to cost a fortune and as someone who has been going to Stamford Bridge since 1975 I am delighted that we are staying In 2003 even with that minuscule amount spent on players we still managed to finish fourth and as Leicester have proved you don't need to flash the cash to win trophies. Man City were lucky that they were basically given a new ground by Manchester council so the infrastructure was in place when they were taken over. If we have a few lean years so be it believe me last year was fuck all to some we've had in the past.

So your saying that the managers pick him as a Hobson's choice ?. Of course it's an assumption and not an unreasonable one to think they rate him as a full back when Dave is a far better option. I think Baba may have improved with a few games under his belt but was never given the opportunity. And his confidence must have taken a kicking when your signed for 17 million quid or whatever it was and are kept out of the side by a right back.

Sorry double post.

Fair enough but the majority of Chelsea fans I know and at the Bridge and even non Chelsea fans can see Ivan is a terrible right back .I'm not sure what your objection is to be honest I gave my opinion and I don't think it was very controversial to say we will struggle at the back this season. Every fan is a frustrated coach it's part of the game and of course don't see things the coaches can but I still find it baffling how many top class coaches think Ivan is a good right back.

This is a season to far for John Terry hand on heart everyone knows that. I would never hold up a placard at the Bridge that's for twats like that geezer who held up the one about Lampard. They just want to get there face in the papers for there one minute of fame. Cahill is not a top class defender as his performances in the World Cup and Euro's prove. Ivan is a terrible right back can be no arguments there. If he's played at right back that was my point Mourinho, Hiddink and possibly Conte will have all played him in that position and every Chelsea fan know's he's a liability. As for snapping fingers in the transfer market as I've not said or hinted at that I don't know what your on about there. Not sure what's bewildering about saying we lack quality in the back four. As for sense of humour well I couldn't possibly comment but do you write letters to the Daily Telegraph ?

It's amazing isn't it every Chelsea fan can see it but three highly respected coaches Mourinho, Hiddink and it would seem Conte can't.

Opening game of 2000 can't believe it's 16 years ago bit of this will do nicely.

Well stop being a Mourinho apologist then mate.

I've just got home from the pub turned on the telly and their showing Arsenal vs Man City on terrestrial tv what the fuck for ?. If they were playing that game in my back garden I'd draw the curtains. What's really alarming is Pep wearing a Stone Island jumper what's next Mourinho wearing a Burberry baseball cap !

Doubt Frank would have any socks on to wipe his arse !
