Fulham Broadway

Agree theres no way this would happen. Grant would have to have the intelligence of an empty baked bean tin to agree and the next time in public he would be lynched.

Yup, it seems the richer people are, the more tight they are with their money a lot of the time. Will be ecstatic if Luton pull off a result

This the book he tried to read...I kid you not http://www.archwaysbooks.com/si/13462.html

Not getting hot and bothered - it just highlights what a divisive liabilty to the team the mercenary charlatan is. Not just the tabloids The facts were he was publicly bollocked him, was left out of the squad for Fulham and it seems Grant in some wanky way is trying to curry favour with the Chelsea Bridge contingent. Grant has tried to ingratiate himself with Drogba several times . When Mourinho was there and Grant was hovering behind him -Drogba came off, Grant leant forward to pat him , and Drogba physically reeled away. That was funny in a way.

Its in a lot of the papers -ok admittedly the tabloids -but Grant was also publicly bollocking Cole from the touchline, then takes the captains armband away. Hardly diplomatic-and evident of lack of coaching badges. Symptomatic of his haplessness he seems to be doing things just for an impact. Next he'll try some Mourinhoesque ''outrageous'' comments, which will make him come across as a mental

Drogba overall a better prospect. But its the fickle nature and the indecisiveness. It would have surely been sensible to keep the same captain for the whole game, rather than fucking off Cole ?

Cant see him going to Scouse land. This is more likely; Channel 4 There are renewed reports that Jose Mourinho is set for the Milan job this summer and that he will bring Chelsea star Didier Drogba with him. The pressure is mounting on Carlo Ancelotti in the Rossoneri hot seat as he prepares to try and remedy a stuttering start to the Serie A campaign. Despite delivering the Club World Cup in December, Ancelotti has been heavily criticised as his side have fallen out of Scudetto contention. Mourinho is waiting to return to management and there were whispers that he turned down the England job as he had already agreed a deal with a top European side.

Ashley Cole was said to be angry and embarassed after Avram Grant stripped him of Chelsea's captaincy after just an hour of Saturday's game. He was extremely unhappy with boss Avram Grant during Saturday's 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup. The defender was handed the captain's armband by the Chelsea manager before the game, only to have it taken off him on the hour - without being substituted. As Grant sent on Didier Drogba, he told Cole to hand over the captain's responsibilities to the Ivorian striker. The bemused England international did so, but wondered what he'd done wrong because Drogba himself had never before been appointed on-field captain of Chelsea either. Asked about the controversy, Blues boss Grant revealed that he took the decision to make the team more stable. “Drogba is a leader," said the Israeli in no uncertain terms. “Many players who are leaders here did not play against QPR, so we gave it to Ashley. I think he is a good example for all the others, always giving 100 per cent, always happy. "I like Ashley, so he deserved to be captain. But there are other options for leaders in the team.” Goal .com

Kenyons got to accept that. Money for old rope.

Sorry Darren. If you click on the smilie icon when replying they all come up. Just discovered that.

Tended to die out in the Eighties. Chelsea Smile ; ''You'd have the sides of your mouth slit with a knife followed by a beating which led to the victim screaming and tearing their cheeks from the corner of their mouth to their ear. A variation on the beating was to stick the knife up your @rse to make you scream. The "smiler" bit referred to the scars left after you were stiched up. ''

Too fucking right -see if they're really stupid and will swap for Berbatov.

Lol, saw him Saturday down at Bristol City, took a free kick and nearly scored. Belettis against fulham were the best yet.

Tottenham insist they do not expect to sell any of their strikers during the current transfer window but rumours persist Manchester United and Chelsea are lining up a £30million bids for Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian scored twice in the 2-2 FA Cup draw with Reading on Saturday but didn't look too happy about it and hardly seems overjoyed with his lot at White Hart Lane this season. Daily Mail. We know this can be meaningless though, every player has his price etc.

His kicks can be effective just outside the 18 yd box, but theres little else of recent games to warrant corners or free kicks from 30-35 yds out. Like you say some kind of rotation policy could be beneficial.

We've had the Lampard v Ballack debate, a sort of continuation over who should take the dead balls. Howver good a player Lampard is, I think the resposibility should fall to others. Ballack, Alex, Drogba etc. Lampards corners and free kicks have been pretty cack for a while now, seeming to never get beyond the first defender. Its not rocket surgery, and we saw against Fulham, the best policy now we've Alex is to aim for the far post, and get the ball knocked back in. It's something that Stoke did yesterday for all their corners,-ok they didnt score but had numerous chances resulting.

Blimey you've been away that long to find that So all the reports now that Clarke gave the half time team talk are wrong then. Righto. It woz the Sun wot had it right all along. Cheers for that .

Darren, you're spot on.

I cant stop laughing

Ok lets stop this now, Mr Kenyon was right he's ''taking us to the next level''

Maybe he did give the half time talk, threatened them with bum rape and murder. Hes not fooling anyone just by shaving off his tache though

We should just mount a takeover, never mind about buyouts and all that bollox, just storm the Bridge. Burn Grant in a big wicker phallus. Blue Revoltion proper.

Same, its a banal read for the unitiated. So whats this about Grant buggering and murdering young boys ? I knew he was a wrong'un.

Anyone on this forum could do as well as or better than Grant with the set up at the moment, but you'd be my nomination Can see Sahar getting a few games then being another/or not as good as Carlton Cole and going to Charlton or somewhere.
