Down on the Sky TV guide as 'Best of... Poyet.'

Until Bale breaks his leg.

We've got the 'hey hey hey, Danny Sturridge' song.

Was the atmosphere any better ten years ago? I'm not too sure it was. Open for debate.

It's business and its here to stay. The only clubs who don't do this are those who can't fill the seats. Having just spent around £100 million in 12 months on players, can you really expect them to lower prices to make the ground a little noiser? And tbh, the 'real' fans who make the atmosphere, as people refer to them as, DO go week in, week out. Regardless of the price. There's just not many of them.

Mancienne played at home to Wigan and away at West Ham that year. Other than that, your right.

Made up for you Steve. Brilliant, you deserve em. Only downside is you haven't seen us lift a trophy, but im 100% sure you'll be back to do all this again. Top man. As for JT, once again setting the example. Nothing like this surprises me with him and no other player will probably ever appreciate us fans the way he does.

"Ancelotti, we want you to stay" from our fans.

If you don't go every week, don't slag off those who do.

Maybe if you went once in a while, you could help change that, eh?

Who?

WTF?!?! Just no Alex.

Milan.Cech, its on the back. Under the number.

I've never eaten one. Vile place.

Robert-Louis Dreyfus used to own Adidas and Marseille, before he died. It's genuinely thought that's why 'more effort' goes into the Marseille kits. They always come across abit special to me.

From that, sounds like Carlo expects to be told either way this week.

1. Gourlay isn't the chairman. He is the chief executive. He has a voice, but ultimately does what Buck and Roman tell him too. Theres nothing wrong with that. 2. Kenyon wanted to keep Mourinho. But he also wanted to keep Scolari. Says alot. 3. We don't know that Buck and Gourlay haven't convinced Roman. For all we know, Roman may have no intention what so ever of sacking Carlo. Everyone at the club may know the situation, it may have been sorted weeks ago.

I haven't really commented in this topic, because up till now, I've found it completely pointless and irrelevant. The fact that we are discussing a managers future who has been here two years and won three trophies is laughable. It also shows just how far this club have come since 2003. Lets be honest, the guys on here who have supported the club since that day could only have dreamt of winning those three trophies in these eight years, let alone two. Carlo achieved the unreal last year. He achieved and rewrote our history. If that doesn't deserve a 'second chance', what does? How many 'second chances' will you give to Guus Hiddink, Jose Mourinho or Andre Villas-Boas? 'Cos, they'd all need two or three. Just how many managers will we go through in the next ten years if we sack the ones who go a year without a trophy? To the doubters, yes Carlo has his negatives. He isn't perfect and he HAS to learn from his mistakes. But, we can't win the title every season, we can't go to Wembley every May, and we can't score 100+ goals every year. Look at Inter this year, look at Arsenal after their 'invincible' team collapsed, look at Liverpool for god knows how many years now. Success will come and go. The quality of this league is to high to remain constantly at the top. And when we lose it we have to be even more determined to get it back. As fans, as players, as a club. This isn't a case of Avram Grant, having not won anything. Carlo is a proven manager with a track record of success. He has a fantastic relationship with the players and the majority of fans. And unlike Grant, doesn't rely on his captain or assistants to motivate his squad. All that said, I think the silence from the club says a lot. There's been no statements from Gourlay or from Buck confirming the clubs position. A statement that, at times this season would have perhaps given us the stability we've craved. I wouldn't be at all surprised for this club to be manager-less (again) in a fortnights time.

Sad that in the space of two and a half hours we've gone from being the reigning league champions and the reigning FA Cup winners... to having nothing. Sorry guys.

One of my favourite things about football is that whoever you are, whoever you support, wherever you are from - you can sit, watch, talk and have an opinion. Like you say, each to their own. And i'm pretty sure, for as long as Kalou is with us he will divide opinion.

3 years under Sheikh Mansour. Shinawatra was a joke. The difference, we got Mourinho. City are going places though, and they will win league and European titles.

Whats with the two random white bits on the back by the way? Personally prefer the current shirt. Red or no red, thats got some real class.

I don't think many do want him to leave. They want him to remain an impact player, coming off the bench. I think the only person that doesn't see Kalou as that, is Kalou. Which, maybe, is why he should be leaving. There's players who have made entire careers from being 'impact' players and there shouldn't be any shame in that. He could go elsewhere, play every week, but not challenge for trophies. But Alex, I enjoy alot of your articles, and alot of the time, you've got some real talent for doing so. But this ent one of them, and calling Chelsea fans 'ignorant' for their dislike of Kalou isn't your only ridiculous comment.

And 90% of Chelsea fans are happy with him being here as a substitute. They just don't want him to be anymore than that. We credit him for Watford away, Spurs in the cup, the cross at Anfield, the Stoke hatrick, Everton away this year. But thats about all, and theres certainly enough for him to be considered anymore than what he is anytime soon. I just don't particularly see the point of your article. He is what he is, and he gets the credit for that.
