That United fan who said "Shame you have such a classy manager" should have been replied to with "Shame you don't".

If you say so

Twat.

Fair enough. Unfortunately I wasn't here in flesh and blood during the times of Chopper, Bonetti, Cooke, Ossie, Nevin and all. But I hope to be around to see Josh, Kakuta, Clifford, etc play their way to similar iconic statures ... and yes, make sure my kids follow them as well

Since you consider it necessary to ask others, let me ask you too. Would you have continued to support Chelsea had we not been bought by Roman?

^Hope not.

I suggest Redknapp admirers to study his stints at Southampton and Pompey and see how he left them in the lurch.

loool

Not good enough atm IMO. Needs another loan or a blooding-in period.And I would love it if the new manager thinks of him as a centre attacking mid, his true position.

Whoever you decide to appoint, just back him through the tough times as well ffs. Thank you.

Thank fuck. Good player and all, but not what we need.

Fully deserved. Wait, whaddaya mean it wasn't based on general selfishness?

It doesn't have to be that way though : --------------------------Cech------------------------ Ivan/RB----- Alex/Luiz-------- Terry-------- Cole -----------------Ramires----- Mikel------------------ Neymar ------------------------------------------Mata --------------------Sturridge/Hamsik----------------------- -------------------------Torres/Sturridge-------------------------

Nah mate I was referring to Sturridge being played wide.

Haha, just bantering dude Props for beating me, it'll be the last time you do

We should seriously have a crack at our own blog. A blogspot address maybe? A lot of stuff I used to read earlier has made it to the official CFC site. There would be no better publicity for TC if our blog made it there. We'd have an endless stream of members and visitors, considering we have such a quality forum to boot.

I saw you entering the ref's cabin at HT. Rijkaard wannabe?

Barring a few ungrateful people, I don't think anyone has 'disrespected' Roman, so not sure why the need to state that he should be respected. I respect him, I love him, he's more than we could have hoped for, but he does have his faults and I'd be fully within my rights to talk about it when he does fuck up. My real issue is more with the suits on the board. I'm not convinced about their footballing knowledge/pedigree and their commitment to this club. It's Roman's fault if he places a lot of emphasis on their opinion on footballing matters.

What this has done is that it's managed to kill all motivation for future managers of this club. Why would you be motivated to do your best as manager when you know that you're not too far from the sack any time results suffer? Managers will make their way here for the hefty wages and the possibility of a big payout. When Carlo doesn't have any job security after what he's achieved here, nobody else does either, unless we change our ways as a club. No job security = no accountability = no motivation. To avoid this the next man should be given a 1 year contract, with an option of renewal at the season's end. But with the decision making ability (or the lack thereof) we've demonstrated on numerous occasions, I wouldn't be surprised if status quo continues.

Yes but what's the point in playing him wide when he's proven at Premier League level that he can cut it as a striker? And mind you, his goals have come against top teams as well, not relegation fodder.

Hmm, what Real essentially do is "We don't need this academy graduate, {insert superstar name here} is the way forward .... (after 2 years) .... give us back our academy grad, take this money." Pathetic. They'll go after Mata next. That honour lies with Arsenal

No, I would be very sad indeed if Chelsea became such an egoistic, haughty, high handed club simply because they have more money than most.

Madrid have signed Jose Callejon from Espanyol. Makes me laugh, they throw away their youth products, then buy them back when their Galacticos fail to shine.

Overrated player.

Saying Roman is a disgrace is really stupid. Sure he shoots himself in the foot every now and then but you shouldn't have anything other than enormous respect and love for him. He truly loves the club and you can see it. It's not a mere business to him. He's the real special one.
