No NHL is on today, just to remind you.

Someone, should hide the bottle of Scotch on him. Most likely, red nosed was tanked last night.

MAYBE = is the correct word here.

As I posted about it before, we only assume so. Soon, we will see what´s gonna happen.

No matter what happens today, we all must wish to see Chelsea ending in top four places. I just hope, Rafa was told about it again & he acts accordingly. It means, if Chelsea falls behind, let´s say two goals today, rest the players & screw the game.

Since I hate Manure with passion deep inside I´d like to see Chelsea winning today. However, from logical point of view the club must finish in top four PL places. Therefore, if Chelsea are knocked out today, it won´t pain me much. That way, Chelsea will play less games & just maybe ends up placed for CL competition for next year.

Perhaps, the one who started this thread might tune us in on it ?

Quite the contrary. Even though, Chelsea are not competing in CL, I still would have liked to see the team playing the top teams in Europe. That way, we could have seen where the team is at. Chelsea have made a name for themselves. Everyone is expecting them to play against the best in Europe. What other competition can offer the best than CL ?

All players like to play for 90 minutes. Is Marin good enough to be put in as the starter ? We all know, he is not. Was he given a proper chance to show his stuff ? Perhaps, that´s debatable. So far, what I have seen or rather not seen much, he is not good enough. Money wasted on him, I feel.

Any astute Chelsea fan wants to see the Blues compete against the top clubs in Europe. Where else can one see it if not playing in CL ? I want Chelsea to go forward, playing, being tested against the Barcas, Reals & not some second tier team from boon-locks in FA Cup.

I think, Roman needs to act fast, so that the chance of qualifying for top four will not slip away. Speculation of Jose coming back to Chelsea has put Rafa into a state of confusion, I feel. Resting & justifying his players selection in yesterday´s game is an indication Rafa set his priority elsewhere & not on top four. I just hope Manure will help Rafa to wake up tomorrow.

As I already told you here. You need to see a shrink soon. Book yourself asap.

Let me educate you a bit. I have been watching football for years. Became inclined to root for Chelsea since 2001. Being out of CL is not desired. As a matter of fact it´s limited thinking. As a Chelsea fan, I do not want to see the team competing for secondary trophies only. I want Chelsea to play against Barca, Real, Bayern, Atletico...etc. I certainly can avoid the likes of Branford on some muddy pitch.

Do you know how much money Chelsea pulled in for CL title ?

Now, you are talking. Thanks pal.

Money or prestige wise, CL trophy has no comparison.

International fan base is much more important for today´s football clubs than 40 thousand fans at Stamford Bridge. The days of " working class " football fans are long gone.

Rafa with his idiotic mix-and-match policy, might be seen. When Chelsea are out, I will be one happy fan.

What points should be made here to convinced anyone that ending out of top four is not desired. The whole thread is just one trifle. Those who think finishing below 4th place may help Chelsea should give up watching Chelsea, I feel.

Marin was injured. Some excuse should be granted. However, the club knew very well that Marin was prone to injuries. Despite of it, he was signed. Every time I see him on the pitch I see nothing at all. Perhaps, some passing occasionally. I´d say, pack his bags & send him back to Germany one way ticket.

There are many reasons to support Chelsea to finish in top four PL places. Perhaps, the main reason should be considered is the FFP regulations lurking by. Chelsea is not & have not been a club that may miss the most prestigious club competition. By missing CL is going backward & certainly that´s not desired, at least not by me. All other competitions are secondary in my view.

The same old story for months, we have been reading. I would wait & see.

Since the fans have no say in this matter but despite of it, many of us may voice our disapproval of the way Chelsea is run. I am not saying I could do better. Of course none or most of us are not qualified to do so. It just pains me to see the same mistakes over & over. So much money spent by Roman over the years, certainly great achievements were made but this club should be fighting for CL, PL titles yearly, I feel.

Since I do not see or am capable to see inside Rafa´s pork head, I do not know his justification to rest the top players yesterday. One thing I do know. He was told to make sure the Blues are in top four places & I do not see him following the order. Over the weeks here, I thought he just might manage to coach the team until June & hit the road then. Now, I am worried about his intentions.

Who cares whether Chelsea beats Manure or Citeh loggers later ? How many of those fucking Cups do you see at the Bridge ? What will it bring for the club to win another FA Cup ? One big pot to look at, that´s all. Hardly any money for winning it, just prestige in UK. Meanwhile, millions will be lost by missing on CL competition. Isn´t there one dimwit at the Bridge who doesn´t see the consequences ?
