Pictures of the aforementioned hot girl.....I don't believe you

Me and my cousin both support Chelsea and that's about it. I don't have any kids as of yet, but when I do I'll make damn sure they support Chelsea. My Niece wants a Manure shirt as her "friends" like them. Hell will freeze over before she'll have one of those rags on her back and I've told my sister as much. Buy her one and I'll disown the pair of you

I'll start you off then......... Roman had a dream, To buy a football team, He spent his millions on stars, Big yachts and flash cars Big Ears was his aim, 9 years later it came Champions of Europe, we've won it one time Do doo doo, Do doo doo, Do doo doo, Do doo doo

I'd give him a swift boot in the plums and tell him to get his finger out and show why we went through so much crap to get him here in the first place. He's promised so much but delivered hee haw.......Make or break season for him.

Christ on a bike.......I was speaking about Barcelona to a few pals and told them exactly how Barcelona would play and how we would counter it. Let them have the ball out wide as they rarely whip it into the box, they try and play through you so we'll pack the space in front of the defence. Even when they got a corner they took it short and continued with this tippy tappy bollocks that in the end was their downfall. We've played this way against them the last half a dozen times and they've never beaten us outright. So if I could see what we were going to do, surely to God Mr Wonderful could have prepared his team to counter how we set up. Nowhere have I mentioned RDM in my posts, The fact of the matter is, some folk are expecting Guardiola to arrive and have us playing this tippy tappy bollocks and wank themselves into a frenzy. It just isn't going to happen.

It's far from being ignorant and I think I'm intelligent enough to make a decison for myself without having someone making patronising remarks to feed their ego. If you're a Guardiola fanboy then good for you. Dominating a football match isn't the answer to everything. It may be nice on the eye, but when the going gets tough you need to adapt your game. He failed to do that and stuck with his "philosophy". You can praise him for that or criticise him. I'll stick with criticising him for now thanks. If you cast your mind back several months, that's exactly what AVB done. Stuck to his philosophy, when things weren't going our way and he got the boot. Wether you can accept it or not, you can almost write the script before it happens. IF Guardiola arrives at Chelsea with the greatest intentions of changing how we play, he will not get the time to see it through. That's not me being ignorant nor am I illi-nformed on how wonderful he is, this is me making a decision based on how Romans mind works.

Cheers, I've popped on now and again to keep up to speed with things, just haven't felt the urge to get involved in the debates. They're a feisty lot

You know that big handsome guy in your naughty dreams ? :eyebrows: .......that's me...lol Aye, been pretty hectic here lately, just getting my life back in order.

How exactly has he tweeked it though ? That's like saying Avram Grant tweeked TSO's team to get us to the CL FInal in 2008 .....and for the record, I did say 10-15 years minimum. Scolari, Ancelotti and AVB were all brought in to change how we played. When they failed with the open exciting football Roman wanted to see, we went back to what we know best which is basically defend and hit on the break. This way of playing had brought us so much success over the last decade. PG will be asked to create at Chelsea what everyone sees at Barcelona. When he tries to get us playing that way and it goes tits up like every other manager before him Roman will not hesitate to get shafted of him PG will just be another manager to add to the "tried and failed" list in Romans litle black book. If he does come I'll wish him all the best, but I know that I'll be back on here saying I told you so when he gets his P45.

Wow, You don't do sarcasm do you...... He's been working with a group of players who have grown up together playing the same way for years. He was part of the system and knows the set up which is why he settled into the job so easily. It would be like JT becoming manager of Chelsea. He knows what makes us tick. Barca have been developing that style of play for 10-15 years minimum with their current squad from youth level. That's why their youth team players can come in and slot straight into the 1st team without disrupting their rhythm. If people expect him to walk straight in and change things overnight they are very foolish. How many managers have we brought in to do this only to see them turfed out on their ear when there is no immediate transformation ? Roman wants a more attractive style of football. That's fair enough, but he doesn't have the patience to let someone do it over a sustained period. Therefore, it's a waste of time and money to bring him here.

It's a no for me.......I could manage that Barcelona side ffs and win a few trophies. I'd rather he tested himself elsewhere to prove he has what it takes before we splash out mega wages only to sack him in several months when it doesn't go to plan.

I thought we were getting away from these insane wages ?

Sorry......I just don't rate him.

Before the introduction of Skys money into the EPL both Rangers and Celtic were easily on par with most English sides and held their own. This is when English sides were banned from europe, Both Rangers and Celtic were attracting top players from around europe and could match English sides in the transfer market. Sky has given the EPL the opportunity to increase their profile due to the vast amounts of money pumped into the game compared to that in Scotland. SPL winners get £2.55m(Prize money+ TV deal) compared to the EPL winners who get £60m+......that's just bonkers. The bottom side in the EPL gets around £40m just for being relegated. If both Rangers and Celtic had that sort of money at their disposal for a few seasons, I've no doubt that both would be challenging for a european spot at least. I hate Celtic more than anything in life, but I'll not go into that now....... Anywho......As long as there's a Scottish League, both clubs will remain there. The only reason Welsh clubs play in England is due to there not being a Welsh league when these clubs were formed.

I see nothing in him that suggests he's worth the transfer fee that's being flung about. £30m....really ?

I may be in the minority, but any time I've watched Hulk he's looked anything other than impressive. I'd rather we looked elsewhere.

Kezman had a better record than Van Horseface when we signed him and we all know how that turned out. I'll admmit I'm very excited by the prospect of Hazard joing our ranks. Oh.......Hello again

One other thing I forgot to mention, it was not how we dealt in the past that has brought us to administration (EBT's / HMRC Tax Case), it was Craig Whyte not paying VAT, NI Contributions on player wages and basic bills a club has to pay since his takeover. He forced the administration by doing this. The HMRC hearing had no bearing on it whatsoever. Other latest news is that lawyer Gary Withey who was an advisor to Craig Whyte during his takeover has quit his job at Collyer Bristow "for family reasons"....Aye right.......Rangers fans have been bombarding Collyer Bristow for weeks demanding to know where the ST money has gone. Withey has been in hiding for the past 2 weeks. His firm were used by Whyte to transfer the £24.4m Ticketus money (3-4 years Season Ticket Sales) to when Whyte took over the club. Rangers may not have to foot the bill as a legal expert claims Whyte needed the authorisation of every season ticket holder to sell their tickets which he did not obtain. Therefore Whyte will be left with the bill. This clown (Withey) was paid a handsome fee believed to be £230k, which was funded by the sale of Shares Rangers had in Arsenal dating back to 1910. A bit of history sold off by Craig Whyte which has infuriated fans.

I must have missed this earlier. *Clears throat* Blow it out your arse.....Your not talking about some diddy club here. Rangers have a history and tradition most clubs would dream of, so to consider making them a "feeder club" due to their current plight is something I take great offence to.

Cheers for the thought Tbh, I'm fucking gutted. Trying to understand what the hell has happened the last lot of weeks has been doing my nut in. I was one of a few who were hoping Craig Whyte had a plan and that all of this was a very bad dream. In the end it turned out he did have a plan and royally fucked us over. There's bena glimmer of light today, Paul Murray (and the Blue Knights - consortium) may be on the brink of a deal with the administrators. Players cuts were expected to be announced today as Rangers need to cover a £1m loss per month, but that has been put off for 4 weeks. Rangers have to come out of administration by 31st March to be able to compete in europe next year. Paul Murray has said that he wishes for no player cuts if he were to put in a bid as a player cull would mean him having to pump more money into the club to increase the playing staff and thus rule him out of a proposed deal. So perhaps this is a sign that he's going to step in and follow up on his interest. Players have already said they would play for nothing and McCoist has stated he'd happily work unpaid if it helps out. To show the sort of fans Rangers have they had proposed to take in a game Dunfermline v St Mirren to help out Dunfermline who were owed £83k by Rangers due to Craig Whyte flaffing about with our finances. Dunfermline are in trouble themselves and badly needed the money, so the Rangers fans were hoping to sell out their stadium as a gesture of goodwill on their behalf. Today the £83k has been paid, so I'm not certain if the plan to go to the game will go ahead or not now.

He should have been binned months ago. I remember one game at home against a diddy side he played 2 defensive midfielders and we created the squared root of hee haw. His decisions baffled me at times. I wish him all the best in whatever he does next.

I'd the full HD package and canceled the whole lot recently due to a change in circumstances and if I'm honest I wish I had done it sooner even when I could afford it. Football - Watch it online Movies - Watch it online TV Shows - Watch it online I dont miss it one bit.

lol The Gers are my first love, Chelsea came along 20 odd years ago. Do you post on any Rangers forums ? I hover around FF but don't post much as it's mental trying to keep up half the time. I'd post more on Gers Forum....it's a wee bit more relaxed.

Welcome fellow Bear.......the "Hello Hello" caught my eye

For what.........singing "you know what you are ?" Hold on, here comes the thought police. As far as I'm concerned the fans did nothing wrong. Considering the Chelsea support is multicultural, I doubt for one second that they would resort to racist chanting which they didn't. Let's get this clear.........It's open to interpretation. If people(media) want to interpret that it was intended to be racist then it obvious we have a clear agenda from the media whores who are looking for any opportunity to stick the boot into our club. I haven't kept up to date of what has went on with this "slur", but from what I've grabbed in fleeting minutes online Anton denied nothing was said, then his club mates said something was said, Anton then decided something was said and put in a statement apparently claiming to have been racially abused by JT. So do you actually know what happened Anton or is your club/team mates putting words into your mouth ? Anton Ferdinand, I know what you are........you're a fuckling idiot
