Its no coincidence Drogbas performance has been erratic since Mourinhos departure, and the play acting has returned. He has an immature streak (dont we all ?) , and needs a manager he can respect, someone strong who can control him. At the end of the day he is a quality player, if he played for another team, people would be posting Youtube clips saying we have to buy him. Primarily, we need a coach the players respect who has tactical knowledge and can react to situations.

Well it wouldnt have even got to penalties if he hadnt cleared off the line. He's got to be down -but he'll bounce back. ' Ere John, it's only a game'. I cant get on Drogbas back like a lot of fans. Probably the same ones that slated, Ballack and Ashley -what a fucking performance from Ashley !?! btw. To me Drogba will always be a Chelsea great, and if his shot that hit the post had been six inches to the left he'd be feted as the best thing since Osgood. It is a lot of ifs and buts, but at the end of the day we lost UEFAs fucking lottery at the end -not the match.

It could have cost a point here and there. That was the forte of Robben and Duff (for all their fragility), and it panics defences. I noticed ManYoo had Riverdance attacking Essien when we expected him to be on Ashley Coles side.

I mean who would people rather offload Drogba or Anelka ? On the Moscow performance I think Anelka showed his mercenary colours. Not really up for it, and decidedly unfit. I'm not sure we need another midfield 'playmaker' though Ribery is pretty versatile, and a good winger that can switch from right to left would make all the difference. With Kalou and Cole only one is really needed.... I cant see Kenyon going mad and sanctioning a mass buy in unless theres a mass exodus.

The 7 subs could make a difference. If players were voted out on popularity Malouda would be out as well. I would like to see him and Drogba stay, fans are quick to want Drogba out -I reckon he's been misquoted a lot of the time -why dont the press pick on old 'bacon neck' Tevez for misquotes ? OK Drogba shouldn't have bitch slapped Vidic , but glad he did in a way. As long as we keep the main core, and get a coach in who is qualified, we will be stronger next time.

Most important for me is the coach.... We have to look at the exits..more than likely .. Drogba Ben Haim SWP Sheva Belletti Pizzaro Sidwell So from that perspective, probably more than two. I think the youth system will again be shown up for being just a niceity, as quality players will be bought in rather than nurtured.

Michief is right. In the cold light of day the officials were really off the mark We should have had 3 corners that were given as goal kicks. Also in hindsight when Rio nearly took Joe Coles head off that to me was a clear penalty. Anyway it's gone now. Its just gutting that we were the better team, and the game was in effect decided on the toss of a coin. OK the Riverdance Poofta had the better of Essien to get their goal, but Wayne'Granny Shagger' Rooney was made to look like a pub team player. I've had texts and e mails of a yellow bollard with 'Beware Slippery' sign and a pic of Terry, and a picture of Chelsea Slippers marketed as 'Terrys Boots' from Man Utd fans. Not proud to say but I responded with 'Whos that lying on the runway' soundfile of singing Man City fans. Shut them up though.

There seems to be some movement today with the board From Chelsea Mad Following on from last night's Champions League defeat, all of Chelsea top-brass including, it's believed Roman Abramovich, have decended on SW6 to pick over the bones of the crushing defeat. What should have being Roman's crowning glory in his own back-yard, turned into a humbling experience and it's one that he will not want repeated next season. Chelsea have signed just one player for next season and are struggling to come to terms with who to keep on. New deals for Lampard and Drogba are being complicated by the uncertainty of Grant's future. Once that is decided, players will know if they want to stay or go. Other new players will know who the coach will be and if they want to play for him. To that end, it's expected that today's summit meeting will have one thing on the agenda and that is to sack Grant or back him? The word from inside the camp is that Roman is happy with Grant and will want to return him to his boardroom job of director of football. But the Russian will also demand a new coach to take the club onto the next level. More expected later today

Seem to remember some disorder after that one as well -police so often look to create a ruck Lol not sure Aroop -pub quiz question, Egypt ? Germans have it sussed with beer http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1554997.html

You need to recover after all that. Came into work still cunted. Yeah cops running over fans http://www.talkchelsea.net/forum/index.php...pic=1886&hl=

No need to be racist. But you're right England -and Scotland (CM 2000) probably world champs at drinking, and general disorderliness. And having dogshit on pavements.

True. We were by far the better team apart from the first 30. Funny to see his bullnecked lady boy try and fool Cech and fuck up royally. Scholes should have walked for that elbow, and they play a lot of negative back to the keeper rubbish. All in all they were spawny as fuck last night, just as they were in 1999.

Clark Kent ? No hes a yank but in the New York Man Utd Supporters Club. Never been to Old Trafford though Ferguson crapping on about his 'best team ever' 'deserved win' what a cant.

Understandable. Its like something you love, say your mum marrying an evil stepdad. btw I'm still pissed from last night. Thats pissed as in drunk, not the wanky yank way of saying annoyed.

Same, I was hoping for a trophy or two.

I've been ''digging'' at him since he was appointed ''Director of Football'' Fuck him. Irrelevant waste of space.

No you're right A. Its in those times you need lightning responses to situations. Grant reacting like a sedated sloth in crucial games doesnt win trophies.

Whats with Kenyon going up first and having a medal draped round his bulbous neck ? Since when have someone from the board of directors gone up to get a medal ? Sort it out Platini. At least Bobby Charlton declined his.

Then again, you're never more than 10 ft from a Yernited fan wherever you are. Unless you're in Manchester. If they discover alien life on another planet, guaranteed there'll be a Yernited fan there somewhere.

Loads of Metropolitan Police are northerners, probably Manc fans

Chelsea fans are never at fault -except maybe Hingis

In summary, the best team lost last night.

Unmarked cop car runs down Chelsea Fan http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1195354.ece What is it with cops running people over ? Two cop cars with no flashing lights, no sirens and no headlights on, going at 100 mph in a 30 mph zone, killed a 16 year old girl in Newcastle the other night, sending her 50 ft in the air. The cops then tasered her distraught boyfriend. Whats going on ?

Mmm. Scholes, Hargreaves, Giggs, Ferdinand, Neville...? .hardly youngsters -and last time I heard their wage bill was higher. As for converting our chances -Tevez ? We hit the woodwork a few times just as Bayern did in 99. ManUtd had all the luck. As Luke said, Ferguson harassing the ref ensured so many decisions went their way. Come the 2nd half the watershed moment was when Ferdinand went down with ''cramp''. We were completely dominating, and it would have only been a matter of minutes before we scored. With play held up for 3 minutes we lost our momentum. Second watershed moment taking Joe Cole off for the obviously unfit Anelka. I know Cole had been booked but he was our most creative. The worst way to decide a game, and Terry saved Ronaldo McDonaldos blushes. Penalties are shite for a game of that magnitude - replays would be much more dignified, or ''next goal wins '' like we used to play when we were kids. Ended up same as Arsenals season in the end. Grant needs to go now.

Yup Talkshite. Enjoy yerself Mike -off for another pint in 5 mins. Need to take it easy or will be unconscious by kick off. carefree
