Indirectly it was Grant's fault. Why ? His arrival meant Mourinho's departure and Mourinho's departure meant Silvino Louro's departure which meant that Cech was without a professional goalkeeper trainer for a while and then hired a worse trainer than Louro. So see... Blame Grant ! Cech's got golden gloves, but Ben-Haim had little strength and Gallas had lots of cheats.
Think we should have started with Kalou and Pizarro upfront. Always when Pizarro comes on we seem more dangerous in attack and Pizarro capable of playing football whilst Sheva is only in turns. I think the pressure got to Grant (playing at the mighty Emirates and all) and he went with Makelele in midfield and generally cautiously. But I think we shouldn't be afraid to play without a holding midfielder yet still do good in holding out attacks. From now on it will be easy to criticize Grant's tactics when we lose
Then we need a man who would listen to Roman yet manage to manage the team properly. I think that Roman, from his own experience, won't be signing another Mourinho type hard-man in a decade - he might be suffering from a migrane after that.
We get back Drogba, Carvalho and Ballack but lose Terry. Better than nothing ... When was the last time we had an injury-free squad and were able to field our full-strength squad ? I believe it was in the second season when we won the league.
Rijkaard or Grant ? ... What do you people say ? As much as I detest Rijkaard and the whiney-divey sissies he trains, he would be probably a better choice.
We were fucking clueless when it came to defending counter-attacks. Sheer luck that we didn't lose by a bigger margin and lucky for Arsenal that SWP and Sheva missed their chances. That's disappointing. I want Mourinho back.
Who was covering Judas ? Right ... The Jew. Now who would've thought that judas would win. Oh well... During that set-piece we saw how important Terry is - mr. Behindme was 2 fuckin metres away from Gallas and that mohawk scored plus Cech screwed badly.Grant is a son of a dirty woman. He can't make it against big teams as we can see it again. Okay okay... 2nd half on the way but it can easily end up 3-0 losing especially with that Grunt giving his "motivation talk": Tiss big game ! You get big big reward for you need attack, play itty-pretty futbald and score some of them nice golazos. Big boss from above wouldn't be gappy and tiss not good.FUck !
Rooney just screwed a 100% chance which Drogs would've slotted in 169% What a wank. And that's good.
Gerrard has been shit. Haven't seen much of Ronaldo in the second half.
Arsenal have conceded in their last 5 games whilst we haven't conceded any and haven't scored in only match (the match where we hit the woodwork twice and smashed over 6 yards). Sounds promising.
If ManU lose and we win then we'll become joint leaders with 1 point ahead of ManU and 1 point ahead of Liverpool (if they win their one game in hand). If they draw then ManU would become the leaders thanks to goal-difference and Liverpool would be 3 points behind us (6 points if they lose their one game in hand).Never easy to see ManU leading the table, but maybe a draw would be better
Ancelotti will go and replace Donadoni in Italian national team and Mourinho will go there. I think it's either Milan or Inter for him. He's worked at Barca already and he might just want a new challenge. If I were Mourinho I'd go to Milan - they're a team which can be moulded plus Kaka, Pirlo and Gattuso are one of my most favourite players I bet Mourinho would like sacking and selling all those old-farts and signing Drogs to play alongside Kaka plus tons of other good players who wouldn't go to Chelsea because of Grant's unbeliavably repulsive visage. And kick those dirty cheating diving Gilardinos and Didas from the team.
It's 30 and 69% for Chelsea. What a bunch of morons ... 30+69=99%. What the **** were they thinking about. Oh well, let's round it and say it's 30-70. Gallas has some faithful fans I see.
