David Luiz and Torres bought on the last day. It's only 16th. Just saying...

True what is said about Man Utd, they always have fast pacy wingers and genuine wingers not strikers convert. We need someone similar on the left

That is if he survives this season.

Malouda SHOULD be Sold. These players like Anelka and Malouda are leeches who just stick to the club and refuse to move even if the club wants them to go, Thanks to the ridiculous salaries that we pay them.

Top performance from him under pressure against a difficult side. Hats Off

Is this thread about Torres? Cus thats the only difference I saw from last year. Best man on the pitch by far. Kalou should NEVER EVER START!!!!....Yossi should have started. Malouda needs to go. He looks like a midfielder converted into a winger. We need fast, pacy wide players and we got one in Studge, we just need another on the left in place of malouda. Get in Mata or Turan along with Modric and we are set but if we continue with players like anelka and malouda on left, we are looking at another poor season. Lampard, Malouda, Kalou were all poor today. Torres, Ramirez, Bosingwa, Alex, Mikel were on their game. Cech didnt have to do much apart from catching those crosses from Delap while Terry and Cole were decent enough. 16 days to go, and if we dont bring in Modric and Mata/Turan, we can kiss the title good bye.

Why o Why does AVB Start with Kalou...? This will end is Disaster for Kalou.... Kalou the Sub >>>> Kalou the Starter

AVB looking all Dapper in his Suit....

You yourself said, he deserved a Title, which he never got. So What has he achieved? Please dont bring up Cup Winners Cup and FA Cup. Even, Pompey with their substandard players won the FA Cup. Its the Same with Ballack. There is a reason why he has been tagged the "nearly man". I am beginning to wonder if you even understand what underachievement means.

Poll means fuckall. Majority here wanted Carlo out

Zola has underacheived and so has ballack in his career and so have the current Chelsea core. But I give up as you lot prefer to live in denial. Sweet dreamzzz

Err..... underachievement of a club is synonymous to demise of a club? Stupid assumption... People who live in denial and assume things are rosy frustrate me. Answer this zolayes since you have been so passionately saying we have not underachieved. Don't you think players of the caliber of Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Essien, Cech deserve a Champions League medal?

That doesn't mean I have to stop posting my views just as you haven't stopped posting yours

The fact that greats like Lampard, Drogba, Terry , Essien, Cech have won only 3 titles in their prime and No Champions League is proof that we have underachieved and the blame lies with the Board. The 04-05 and 05-06 team HAS got to be the best team to have never won the Champions League and you can blame the luck for all you want but the fact remains this team deserved more than it achieved and it's a shame that they are still without a Champions League.

I disagree. Changing of managers have made us underachieve. The year Jose was fired we lost the league on last day. That brings to mind the loss of Jose 2 days before our game at OT. Three points lost and no one was surprised. We shipped 4 goals against spurs and villa something that hardly ever happened under Mou. By firing Mou 2 days prior to that game at OT we virtually handed out the title to them. Then we bring in Scolari: Again we handed the league to Man Utd by bringing in a manager who had only managed national teams and never managed in Europe. And then last season we again press the self destroybutton by letting Ballack go and firing Wilkins when we were absolutely steam rolling. We should have had 2 more titles atleast if it weerent for all the firing. Not to mention the 55m on our losses that were incurred by handouts to managers who were fired. Bottom line is if we had stayed with Mou we would have had few more titles and a champions league and more importantly we would have broken even by 2010. Hence hiring and firing 7 managers in 7 seasons has done more harm than good to us and more good than harm to Man Utd who have benefitted from our boards mental handling of the team management.

So any fans who want Their clubs to be the best in the world should go and support Manure and Barca? You do realize that we have regressed after Mou left us. Pacifying yourself by comparing this era to the 50 years when the club didn't win a title is stupid. We invested 700b in 8 years in this club. We didn't even invest half of it in this 50years combined.

Yes not even half of our investment and yet they have 4 titles and Champions League Had we not invested in squad I would have been content not winning but the aim is to be the best not second best which is what we are after having invested more than twice compared to Man Utd. In simple terms that is underachievement.

Surely they can't be brought. And that shows why we finished second in our first season of Romans takeover and why Man City haven't won the title after three seasons with the sheikhs. For Man City, it is different. The team was ranked 11 I believe when they were taken over and they finished 8 and 6 and 3 in the subsequent seasons. For them it is a success and they have achieved their goal Of breaking into top 6 and top 4 considering teir team was 11th when they were bought Chelsea on the other hand was 6th when roman took over and finished 2nd and 1st in the subsequent seasons. But then we regressed. And self destruct. Fired the manager that bought us success and one who is considered as the best manager. Untill Carlo won us the title again after 3 seasons. We self destruct again last winter. By scaling down the squad and refusing Carlos request to extend Ballacks contract, he would have been invaluable in Lamps absence and We would have not suffered so bad and probably would have won the title. But hey we always self destruct. We were steam rolling untill our board had a brain fart and decided hey we don't need Wilkins and let's isolate Carlo. Bottom Line is that the board is the cause for our underachievement.

It's all about being no.1. It pains me to see that inspite of investing millions in squad we have won only 3 titles in 8 seasons while Man Utd having invested less than half compared to us have won 4 titles and UCL in the same period. We may have won our title in 50 years but that doesn't hurt much cus we didn't invest much in the squad. It's like a business. You invest in squad to win to be number 1. If you don't achieve that your investment has failed.

Underachieved for sure. All the talk of painting the world blue by 2011 by Kenyon didn't turn out to be true. 3 leagues in 8 seasons? Manchester Unites won 3 leagues in 3 season and 4 leagues and Champions League in the same period. The aim was to win two champions leagues and we haven't won one. One reason for this underachievement is Romans ego. Had he not fired Mourinho we wouldn't have underachieved. But we fired him, and then Grant, and then Scolari and then Carlo. This way no team will achieve anything. Hopefully AVB can help us knock Man Utd off their fucking perch. I don't want my club to be one of those several clubs that once threatened to knock Man Utd off their no.1 status but later faded away into being just another top 4 team like Arsenal and Liverpool and to some extent Blackburn and Newcastlee. I won't Chelsea to dominate the league like never before win titles after titles and not just one in 4 seasons. Target for this decade is to win 8 titles and 3 Champions League. I know it is ambitious but having ambitious targets will atleast drive us to achieve it

I don't think we are going to go for a winger. We just have one foreign slot left to fill emptied by zirkov and my guess is that will be filled by a creative midfielder. Unless malouda, or anelka decide to leave which I don't think they will. Having said that I would love Turan in my 11. Class player and much better than Malpuda and zirkov on the left

Oh cut the crap will ya? We all know you are here for BluesChick rest all is just bull. Anyways congrats!! I enjoy your funny posts

He does seem to have a hammer of a right foot. In 5 years I would love to see Debruyn, Lukaku and sturridge upfront with mcechran, mikel/Ramirez and Kakuta in midfield and bertand/PVA, Luiz, Chalobah, A young RB, and thibault cortouis That's a young team captained by Luiz and has sexy football written all over it

Term x

The new skin looks refreshing on iPhone. Loving it!! Good job Jim
