Absolutely brilliant article. I would much rather have owner stability than manager stability. And for all those who are finding it hard to digest that Roman will be giving £50 million after his death, here's the article stating the same. http://www.people.co.uk/archive/other/2006/12/10/big-legacy-of-roman-102039-18239427/ Immense respect for the man.
We don't know which Swansea will turn up. In their match against Arsenal, they were brilliant in the first half but god knows what happened in the 2nd half, They just couldn't clear the ball and with all due respect, you don't have to do much to clear the ball against Arsenal but Swansea were shambolic at times. So if that thing happens again, i expect Chelsea to win by a good margin.
I guess Benitez prefers a winger who trackbacks which was a prime reason that Moses started all these matches. Marin isn't really good at defending, is he? Ramires could be the one starting at RW untill Moses comes back.
Haha! Tongue in cheek moment. But you get the point. BA should not be starting 3 matches in a row when the whole world keeps talking about his knees. Also if Torres starts against Stoke, i fear for him. People like Walters would eat hi alive and won't even burp.
BA won't be starting 3 matches on the trot. Hence i guess we will see Torres starting today and BA against stoke. BA scored a hattrick last time against Stoke.
Silvio Berlusconi just leaked Pep Guardiola's next destination: "So we contacted him, but then came the club that hires his friends." Points to City or Chelsea. Txixi and Jose (sarcastically). Manchester City hired Txiki Begiristain as Director of Football, the same man who hired Pep Guardiola in Barcelona in 2008.
Exactly what i have been thinking. The kind of players we have right now in our squad and the kinds of player we are being linked with makes me believe we are shifting towards the so called 'sexy football' which will with all due respect isn't what Jose Mourinho team does. I voted for Pep in the other thread of who should be our next manager because this present team needs a coach like Pep more than Jose.
John Terry clarifies his earlier post:"I have seen franks agents quotes on sky yesterday.That's all i'm going on nothing more." Oh come on John. you just gave us a heart attack.
@OliverKayTimes: To clarify re Lampard, there have been no negotiations at all. Lampard hoped to stay but #CFC have offered nothing - not even reduced terms. I am not sure about the credibility of this guy but I don't think this is true. I can't believe that Chelsea offered him nothing.
Tell me about it. I remember you telling me that QPR will bring their top game against us and i was like 'no, no you see they have lost last 23 away matches'. I feel like an idiot right now. But i gotta say QPR didn't bring their top game, it's just that Chelsea never turned up for the game.
