theres really nothing to watch. However, if you want to bang your head against the wall for 90 minutes this is a good place to start. If you must watch anything i suggest watching the extended 15-30 min highlights that are usually available.

After today I really don't know anymore.. Im tired of us never giving our managers enough time to make a difference and it's the truth that we soon need to make a long term decision for the future. That being said there are positives and negatives with our current manager which we must be taken into consideration. Positives 1. thinking for the future with new young signings 2. trying to tactically implement a new style which we have clearly lacked in previous years 3. I get the idea that he really cares about this club and you can see it in him. He's animated and seems almost emotional in his actions on and off the pitch. Negatives 1. (if the rumors are true) He might have a problem with authority, possibly due to his age, and isn't getting the respect of some players. This is huge.. The manager is supposed to be a leader. How are you supposed to motivate your players. Consider a game like today when your down at halftime and you need to give the speech of your life to instil confidence in your team so that you come out a different side. 2. I don't think he's been getting all his substitutions right. This is probably the biggeat negtative as it shows a lack of tactics and strategy. I'm not going to bother mention them all specIfically but consider today.. why would you ever take off the most creative player and replace him with another striker so he can get even less service from our clearly lacking midfield? 3. His team selection seems off sometimes..Why he continues to play bosingwa is beyond me. If we really are in a state of transition then we need to start playing some of the youngsters in the mix somehow. If fergie can do it why cant we. If our older legends arent performing them avb needs to put them on the bench.. again maybe this is also an authority problem. That being said I think I would only like to see 2 options which I haven't got the slightest idea in making a desision yet. 1. We stick with avb and give him a minimum of another 2 seasons. He's making some mistakes but most of his problems aren't his fault. I don't think any manager in the world could have came in and been immensely successful this year with our aging squad. 2. We welcome Jose back long term and let him stay with us until he retires. He's proven himself enough as a manager and imo currently the best in the world. The board has got alot of thinking to do and all we can do is pray and hope they get it right this time.

if bertrand isn't given a chance this time i think I've officially given up on our youth system
-
Am I the only one that was disappointed when Sturridge came off for romeu... how many times do we take the lead and immediately get too comfortable and stop pressing. Bad move avb

BLUE IS THE COLOR. WE ARE CHELSEA

Mats you are fucking class
-
....lol

Why no bosingwa... not only is he a universe class defender but he was easily the motm last game and he scored the skilled long shot to salvage us a point.

my mind can't even begin the grasp the concept what just happened...
-
As much as i hate to say this maybe we should consider the return of "the special one" assuming the speculation is true... and this time give him more than a few years

The deal is final? Source?

awesome now we can sell him for more !

I am sick of this bullshit. I don't care what he did or didn't say John Terry is a legend. Everyone saying he shouldn't be captain is just trying to cause a stir in the media and derail us. What he does for our team and our players is unparalleled and will forever be respected. The speeches he gives to the rest of the team before and at the half make a huge difference and you can see there is a collectiveness when he plays. In games like the one today and especially the one against Newcastle you can see he's not just going out there to play... he's going out there to win and to do it giving his all. He goes out there bleeding blue, giving 100% of himself, while getting booed and rolling in the punches. It's times like these that we need stand behind him and give him support as he stands behind in the back four for the glory of our club.

Matchup of the night: bale vs bosingwa and Ferria
-
Adebayor close to receiving his 2nd yellow
-
I guess we didn't have any choice unless we wanted to change formation with 3 in the back... I'd rather have romeu in instead.. I'm sure he could play a better cb than bos could
-
Ferria in to rb.. Bos is now playing as a cb. Wtf wtf wtf wtf!!!
-
Romeu for ivan what?
-
Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss dannny
