why because you got a man crush on him? you said he was better than both Mourinho and Ancelotti. you can`t get away with saying an unproven manager in the best club tournament in the world is better than two guys who have won it twice each. that`s a big disrespect, not suggesting that your beisla would be another scolari. which has some substance to it!! Scolari isn`t a mug ya know..just wasn`t cut out to manage a european club side. he was unproven at european club level as is Beisla...succesful at managing a south american national side..just like Beisla.

i love marmite so much if the last jar ever got spread on a tramps arse,i`d chew that arse up without hesitation. as for Kalou..i`ll save that for after the Cup Final...Come on Bobby Huth and Stoke City.

i would be interested in doing articles on former players,past seasons etc at CFC. don`t know if that would be something you`d be looking for...but i have always had a passion for history and would enjoy sharing my knowledge both second hand and first with others..especially with our younger fans. the frequency of the articles i submit would have to be flexible though...i currently have nothing on the horizon other than i`m off to Norway shortly but due to career plus some as of yet incurable lifelong health problems..i sometimes have to go to hospital for some treatment,which can result in me being away for upto 2 weeks at a time. i don`t sound like an ideal candidate i know...just throwing my name in the hat and been completely honest rather than saying i can definately do something when it`s not really that simple. maybe we could have a thread where we can post articles on here and folks can recommend that it be posted up on the front pages,based on the quality of it.

would be the most devastating event i`ve experienced as a Chelsea fan. i guess it would reopen the doors for the fans who followed us through the real tough times but have been squeezed out the door in recent years due to having to pay "tourist prices" these days. also,we should have a row of seats reserved only for servicemen/women. so that when they aren`t on duty they can feast on the banquet that is following Chelsea these days. they are giving up a lot for us and being able to watch their beloved Chelsea a few games a season shouldn`t be one of them! it will be such a sad day for me though for many reasons..my grandfather died the year before we won our first championship in `55..after going to the bridge since 1930,i didn`t ever meet him,only have one photo of him,he died when my dad was 4 so for us going to the bridge where he used to spend so many hours is kinda sacred for my dad.

he can go and play for Arsenal,with the other shrinking violets and play out the rest of his career with lots of praise every year from the media but only the odd cup runners up medal every 2-3 years.

as folks may have read earlier in my status update,i spent a few hours thinking that woman could be my auntie evelyn. thankfully i found out she was ok at 8pm. but she was in the shopping mall when it happened. she`s understandably shook up so didn`t ask her about it really,just to say stuff like ya know,thank god you safe etc.. R.I.P to that poor lady and thoughts go out to those who loved her.

Arrigo Sacchi (arguably the greatest italian coach of all time ) =Attack minded as are/were Vialli,Ancelotti,Zola,Di Matteo.. just a few who broke the stereotypical italian coaches mold.

at present for sure..maybe Cork will never be as good as Kaka is now, let alone was..but moving ahead in the future i`d say Cork would offer us more and save us 20mill or so..Kaka i don`t think has much left in the tank..Brazilian candles burn brightly but they don`t burn for long...is not many who have still been great after 30..only really Romario who was still world class after 30,Cafu and Roberto Carlos that i can think of.. so by that way of thinking..as mad as it may initially sound..i think wanting to keep Cork rather than signing another "won it all before,only here to get my final big payday" types,makes sense.

i think it`s more a case of his true love has treated him badly and hasn`t shown signs of wanting him, so he`s settling for a munter ..if his true love opened the door for him in the next few months he`ll drop the munter like a hot rock..but if not he`ll settle for the munter for now until something better comes along..

i guess it works that way on the players..or young and "streamlined" fans..not so much on the Jan Molby`s amongst us tho... i haven`t bought a shirt since that black with blue away Fly Emirates shirt..well i didn`t buy that as such ,my ex-wife did. i tend to prefer just chelsea T-shirts like the Victory in Europe one from `98...if i wear one knocking about or on home matchdays. on away days though i learnt a long time ago not to wear colours on them,o.k if you on a supporters coach but i usually stay overnight at a various friends houses on awaydays. my favorite Chelsea jersey of the ones i`ve seen them wear would be the two tone le coq sportif one from the 84-86...i hated the Chelsea Collection shirts in and around 87.i was bought a retro-replica one for christmas last year..i haven`t worn it yet..is still ugly as fook.

i`d rather us finish 2nd in the English Premiership than finish 3rd and any reserve trophy. so whatever selections we need to make to win should be made...i`d have Cork on the bench to atleast dangle the carrot for him..otherwise might aswell wave goodbye to him for good.

can always count me in as a JC fan....i`d suck a tramps cock if he ever is given a chance in our 25 when the season starts tho...just aint gonna happen,they just haven`t given him a sniff. i`d start Jack over any of our other players under-23.

we could have done with him at times during this season, if we can get him on a free in the summer i`d be all for that.

one of the first Chelsea games i went to was v Newcastle...about 30 years ago...we thrashed them 6-1 if i recall correctly...a repeat would be sweet..i hate Geordies almost as much as i hate Scousers ( i got to know people from all regions of the UK when in the army,it goes beyond football)

well he`s 28..29 ,a big name...he would atleast be played whenever he can walk...i`m sure Carlo would think he`s still 4 years from his peak.

i agree with the majority of what you say Warne..we need stability,we need Roman to stop thinking the Real Madrid way of doing things is the way to get what he really craves. i think everyone will agree that we are heading towards a crossroad in the history of the club though where some tough ruthless decisions are gonna have to be made on the careers of some of our legends and that is where i who am more in the Pro-Carlo camp than out of it, am concerned with what Carlo can give us going forward..maybe because he thinks/knows he`s already gone at the end of the season he just made the everything is fine with the squad remarks out of politeness,class of the guy etc...but if what he said was what he really thinks then coupled with his tactical short comings...i wouldn`t say sack him instantly but i would definately start looking at alternatives.

sounds like nothing concrete at this stage..from what that article says it just sounds like a lot of speculation. from the Manchester paper may i add... i do hope we get an higher quality of medical people at the club tho..even the slightest sniff of an injury can cause panic amongst us and not without reason.

if he has a buy out clause as stated, unless it says in the fine print that unless Chelsea come in for him(which is extremely unlikely)..we pay the same price as anyone else would have to,no more! where we may get fleeced would be in the wage demands. the player and his agent could try and say he will only sign for us for say 100k a week where as in private he would be happy to take 70k. we can always tell him to fook off tho..

we shouldn`t buy for the sake of it..i love the kid i think he`s a fantastic player but i would want to know where he would be played,in what formation he would play in and whom he would be replacing or atleast getting ahead of in the pecking order. 5m may be the price we would have to pay Dortmund but there`s also the price in his salary and the price we would have to pay if we let the wrong player go to make a place for him. remember we paid Bayern nothing to get Ballack but he still cost us millions in wages and the chance to develope someone else already on our books.

for a manager to have won the European Cup at every club he`s been at or as in the case of this season at Real,currently be in a European Cup semi- final with as much chance as the others of winning the whole thing..and yet still looks at his time with Chelsea as the happiest time of his career. that says a lot. so i think it`s pretty clear he would come back if asked. remember the ones in the board room he fell out with are either no longer with the club or their differences with Jose have been resolved or atleast to an amicable level. then theres Roman..i`ve lost track of the amount of times i`ve heard people say that Roman wouldn`t have him back because it would mean him admitting he was wrong and he would never do that. nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake..but we all do at some point. so when you consider that Roman has never given a public interview. where do you get this often uttered "fact" that Roman wont ever admit to being wrong from? *please note* i am not promoting the firing of Carlo and the Re-instating of Jose..atleast not at present.

is better when sung in Germany..:eyebrows:

Welcome to TalkChelsea Marie..and Congratulations for finding the best CFC site on the net. :blue scalf:

haha Didier wouldn`t join a club who think their manager is the messiah for leading them to 4th place.
