Whatever floats your boat then, but i don't know what you were watching the past month.

I think so, does it occur to you that our club is owned by a billionaire?, finances haven't bothered me since the Champions League and i doubt they will do for a while, when you look at the wages some of the other clubs are dishing out. And you're looking at squad player to negative, squads win games, Lampard will prove vital, Lampard and Terry being injured at the same time really cost the team in my opinion, put is in a real rough patch. He's without a doubt past his prime but still a good leader, leadership and intelligent players is what we seriously lack, no one in our midfield or defence is even close to intelligent when Lampard and Terry are not involved.

Honeslty, it will be very interesting to see how he does when we play him CAM, we have lacked leadership so much, i can bet Lampard will sort out a lot of problems, especially in midfield.

Why exactly?, Lampard is a good squad player and vital in the dressing room for me, losing someone like Lampard just now would be a bigger loss than you think. He has a good mentallity, and I'm hoping he can help us out when he gets back. And by the way we didn't refuse to give Drogba contract, infact Drogba refused it, because why would he turn down China when they can pay for all his foundations when Chelsea cannot do that?. Not to mention Drogba was going on about leaving earlier, look at his celebration against Villa when he scored his 150th goal. Besides for me he's left the greatest legacy ever in football, "his last kick of the ball is what won Chelsea there first Champions League ever", i don't think there will be a better legacy yet.

What could we have done?, to be honest he cannot go mad at us for not giving him a chance he has been injured for like ages now.

I think we have a right to start a Rafa Out thread if we lose this game or gain a very undeserved point. Though i think we can beat Sunderland, so far I've been impressed with the performances under Rafa, you might think that's stupid but i liked how composed we were against City. And Fulham all we needed was a goal and peoples opinions on our performance would've been completely different. Beating FC Nordshajgsdhhgajdskfaskjf wasn't exactly a really hard challenge, but i really loved how good we looked, i mean they got a goal out of nothing to be fair, that long ball and finish was just quality not many teams could of stopped it. I think with Lampard coming back this team will start regaining a bit of form, and hopefully at the right time to, because i really want this club world cup.

I'm confident with this one, i think we can do it.

I remember when AVB got sacked after a loss against West Brom, it was one of the darkest moments we've ever had at Chelsea and even before Roman times, it looked like we where going downhill and it could only get worse. Robbie first game in charge we beat Birmingham 3-1 i think, and that puts a bit of light into the dark time. And then against Napoli, when we won 4-1, that proved not only football is the best sport in the world, how much Di Matteo loved this club, he ran out to the players and almost strangled them with his hugging lmao, especially Torres (i need a gif for that one). It was like we already won the competition the way how he was, you can call AVB passionate but i just think he's an over excited tosser, however Di Matteo was just great. And all i can say is not many people may of remembered this, but Di Matteo saved this club, had we of been trophyless that season we wouldn't of gotten all those players and financial fair play would've hit us and we would of had a lot more bad seasons. Despite the sacking he will always be one of the best legends if not the best legend this club has.

I must say i do miss Robbie, what a passionate bloke he was. The best moment of Robbie was when Torres scored that goal and ran at the end of the sideline with Eddie Newton like we had won the Champions League, what a great bloke. Liverpool had there Dalglish, United had there Charlton, but we had our Di Matteo.

I'm just dying to go into that Champions League thread and quote every stupid fucker who went on about us having boring groups and wanted something interesting, oh and of course 'entertaining'. Yeah well be careful what you wish for next time.

Great post, and then the reply you are most certain to get is a stat about Mikels passing or tackling percentage or some stupid shit like that. Your last point you put down summed it up perfectly, no other fans rate Mikel as Chelsea fans do, it doesn't happen, infact everyone else thinks he's shit. Yeah we shouldn't listen to what they think but when it comes down to it that applies to no other players, even Michael Carrick a lot of people see how vital he can be for United besides United fans. Although Mikel, he wouldn't get into Uniteds team, Arsenals, Citys, Tottenhams, and fuck he wouldn't even get into Liverpools.

Hang on a sec, this goes to Alex and the others saying hes underappreciated and all this, how the hell is he?, everyone on this forum overrates Mikel and some say he's the best DM in the league. And i can only think of me henrique, Mak and Redish Blue, and perhaps a few others who have posted then and now who actually think Mikel isn't good enough, but still that only comes down to about 6 or 7 against the rest of the forum. So please tell me how the fuck is he underappreciated when there's only a few of us who think he's not good enough.

It doesn't matter does it if he still goes back and defends, that's not really my point, the point is Mikel never done his job good enough at all. Mikel seems to escape every bit of critcism he gets, and people on here have the nerve to go on about how Mikel is under appreciated, yet he's our most overrated player on this forum.

Mikel was awful that West Ham game, he was getting skinned by Diame all day, and Diame also shown him how to be a defensive midfielder whilst at it. He was on fire that game, and Mikel was staying back to win the ball back in the air, and mr useless couldn't even do that.

There's never proof though, but those rules still apply elsewhere, but i take it that it doesn't apply for UEFA

We can't score goals and keep a clean sheet at the same time can we?, it's almost impossible.

Can't you get fined for that?, well not sure it counts for UEFA but i know in Premier League things like that aren't tolerated when there's relegation and stuff going on.

Torres's positioning = criminal you wouldn't think he was a striker.

You can laugh all you want about it, it's just more bad news for this club and if you think that's funny then you must love Benitez and Torres being here. Like someone said, Mikel wouldn't get into anyone elses team which play in the top 7.

Well i thought you like taking mushrooms?, by the way the gay thing is a brilliant cover, man how do you sleep with so many women all at once, damn.

I thought Neil Patrick Harris would understand!.

Same could be said about Ashley Cole in my opinion, he never gets slated for playing piss poor or making mistakes.

Yeah it's disgusting to be honest, the fact that he was even hired in the first place. However the only positve we can look on is for a change a manager doing bad at first might not be so bad after all, it's the first time this has happened, even Scolari did good at first. Maybe Benitez will get better as it goes on. Ah but i fucking doubt it, lets face it the mans a failure and has been for a while now, he's ruined two clubs and he's about to get his hattrick.

It's better this way, he's not as good as he used to be, nowhere near to be honest.

NO!, give up while you can, save yourself.
