I wouldnt trust Scolari, seems to me he's just keeping us hanging anyway - similar situation to England - and look who they ended up with once Scolari messed them about then backed out.

He's one of the players I'd really hate to see leave. Definitely our best CB.

Cant believe him and his agent are still fighting this. Pair of tossers.

But you wouldnt say the same about Empoli and Udinese and he turned both of them around big time.

Also without much money or major signings.

Gutted we let Hughes go to City but the more I look at what Spalletti's done, the more potential I think he's got.

Im with you on that.

Roman's stepped it up from the cone man. I reckon they'll announce a new manager tomorrow - he's been interviewing the ground staff all day apparently.

Rules our Rijkaard. Clarke off next?

Mancini's a dick. Two of the titles he won buy default and he did his best to throw this years away. He's well known for falling out with the players constantly - there's no ego as big as his in the dressing room. Who wants his style of football anyway? I'd go for Hughes, think he'd make a right good job of it, in fact, the more Ive thought about it, the better I like the idea.

Anelka had 'miss' written all over his face. But its not the fact he missed that was such a big deal, but more his attitude afterwards that really pissed me off.

The only thing Terry spat at him was a bit of abuse, big deal. Tevez was looking for it. If there was even the slightest chance that JT did anything untoward you can bet your arse Utd wouldnt be playing it down.

Whatever the rags have to say, Chelsea really needs to put the last 8 months behind them. Jose will always be an important part of our history, but he's history nonetheless. Its time to move on.

Thank god the nightmare is finally over. His appointment should never have happened. Yeah things went better than I had imagined with him in charge but his appointment was one of the biggest farces in football. Lets move on.

The officials were shocking last night, I wouldnt say they necessarily favoured either team but they couldnt even get the basics right. The fact that this was the CL final and they couldnt even tell a corner from a goal kick was a bloody joke. As for the game itself, instead of the cagey bore fest most expected, it ended up a really good advert for PL football. The player who surprised me the most was Ballack - its the sort of game he should have thrived in and he just didnt impose himself on it. As for Drogba - no surprise at all, he's treated the lot of us like mugs all season and doesn't deserve our support. The prick aint fit to wear the same shirt that JT would happily die to have on his back. And JT? fancy slipping over, the silly bugger! Obviously I'm kidding. I cried like a baby for a couple of hours, drank myself stupid then after 3 hours sleep, went to work still over the limit this morning. Roll on next season (with a new manager preferably).

Well he's probably on a bloody good contract for doing sod all so its hardly surprising he's in no hurry to leave. We've persevered with him but he's too inconsistent and he's never gonna be the player we need him to be. Time to give up on him I reckon.

I'd love to see us with a proper attacking threat on the wings again - kind of like the side Mourinho had before he dismantled it in fact! I think Bentley could do a good job for us, he's got loads of potential and he's English. Wouldn't say no to Ribery either. And what we really need is someone potent up front as well, our goal difference was pretty poor this season, we really need to address that. I think Berbatov's a bit of an arse, but he could do well for us with the right players around him - and he wouldnt need to settle into the PL either. Sod the defensive game we've been bored with over the last few years, efficient it may well be but its bored the arse off me tbh. I just wanna see us play football worthy of competing and winning at the the top level.

Yeh, looks good but its not the side they were actually playing with because they werent all fit. Keane left in November, Scholes was out after Christmas and didnt play again that season, Smith broke his leg in February - round about the time RVN turned to shit because he had a hissy fit. And the Ronaldo then certainly wasnt the Ronaldo he is now.

The more time Ive had to look at it objectively this season, the less I believe Mourinho would've done that much this season - domestic cups maybe but the league was always Utd's - and as for the CL, forget it. Jose's ego always got the better of him with Rafa, by the time he'd finished fighting it out in the press with Benitez there was nothing left over to put into the game itself. Just look at Rafa this year - lost it in the press and ultimately took his eyes off the game.

There's a couple of arguments there that don't hold much water. You're taking away from Fergie's titles because of the opposition he was up against and saying that changed when we came into the picture. But surely that works both ways? When we came on the scene it was against a pretty weak Utd side by their standards. Chelsea: Cech, Paulo Ferreira, Gallas, Terry, Bridge, Geremi, Makelele, Lampard, Smertin, Drogba, Gudjohnsen. Subs: Cudicini, Mutu, Kezman, Parker, Ricardo Carvalho. Utd: Howard, Silvestre, Gary Neville, Keane, Fortune, Miller, O’Shea, Djemba-Djemba, Giggs, Scholes, Smith. Subs: Ricardo, Phil Neville, Bellion, Richardson, Forlan. In fact, he's been through plenty of transitional periods over the years and still never been too far out of the picture. Also, you go on about the amount he spent in the summer, but look at the quality he got for that. Compare that to the sort of money we've spent and the squad we've got for it. I really wouldnt mind a manager like him tbh.

Sums our season up perfectly.

After Blackburn then Europe, the boss had to go So Grant was hauled in by Kenyon & Co, As open-mouthed, we all sat and stared Who was this man and who even cared? Utd were next and, well off the pace We were given some bloke with a gormless face – Who stood looking clueless, not ‘special’ at all, The question hung heavy, ‘how far will we fall?’ Two-nil to Utd, courtesy of the ref – The officials, as usual, struck both blind and deaf. Then a bore draw with Fulham, not a sight for sore eyes ‘Don’t know what you’re doing’, the new Stamford Bridge cries. The Mestalla win though, sees the odd eyebrow raise Then a six-nil to Citeh, back to our winning ways? Nope, a battle with Leicester – thanks to Sheva we won Then a draw against Schalke saw the end of our run. Back down to earth and away to ‘the Arse’ - Them who play pretty games and can place the odd pass. They scraped a one-nil, with an error from Cech ‘was our reject who scored as my chin hit the deck. Rafa’s lot next and a win in the cup As Crouch’s drop kick goes a little tits-up. Villa four-all with their last minute pen And a point against Pompey – we concede late again. Nil-nil with the Dippers, and all is not well Then the Carling Cup final it’s to Spurs that we fell. Back with a bang, we hit West Ham for four Before Barnsley show us the FA Cup door. Back against Derby as we beat them six-one But from three point lane, we take just the one. Back home again, now the Arsenal come calling But with Drogba on form they’re the ones who are falling. Boro come next – but they leave three points lighter And the gap at the top gets a little bit tighter – Then Heskey for Wigan, scores right at the end Our defence is driving me right round the bend. No rest, next it’s Europe, the Dippers away But Riise pops up to rescue the day As they trot out of Anfield with nothing to boast That goal stands alone as the one I loved most. But wait – next’s Utd, the Champions elite Shame Carrick used his hands not his feet Gifting Ballack the pen to take if he dare As he slots the ball home, our win makes it all square. Then the Dippers return and Rafa just rages His rants about Drogba on all the back pages But the goatee was wrong, as Drogs stayed on his feet And the world sat and watched as the Dippers got beat. Last day it is then, points all square, both one-nil Then Utd’s attack sees our own go downhill Giggsy’s just scored and when news filters through The lads realise there’s ‘nowt left they can do. The heads all drop down leaving Bolton to score As we finish things off with another score draw. So Utd have made it two in a row As for us? We can wait til we get to Moscow!

Totally agree we need to forget Jose, the comparisons get on my bloody nerves now tbh. And I'll be right behind the team for the CL final as I'm behind them in every game but as for Grant, he can still fuck off as far as Im concerned.

I totally dont get it, we havent finished any better off in the league than we did last season and if we fuck up in Moscow then we'll finish with even less. That blokes name would never be chanted by me unless there was an F next to it.

The only difference with Lampard is that he doesnt slate us in the press, he's never come out and said it sickened him to play for us. However, the fact that he has said he loves Chelsea and wants to finish his career with us should see him sign the contract he's offered. Shouldnt it?
