Term-X

I remember a lot of people blaming Carlo for the rifle incident, failing to stamp his authority etc.. Inmates still running the asylum I see.

^ Indeed.. How dare Luiz criticize Lampard's undermining of our current manager. Who does he think he is? defending the coach like that, disgraceful. He has much to learn.. let us hope Malouda, Lamps and co take him under their wings, and show him the Chelsea way of doing things. Clearly Luiz has been slow to adapt to the individual atmosphere at this club.

Safe to assume a site has been decided upon? Otherwise, why bother with the announcement...

It's only a swollen toe.. Surely he'll be fine for Saturday.

Sturridge has been desperate to play in that position for the entire season, on what merit has Kalou earned the right to bypass him..

Luiz is right though, Lampard has tarnished his reputation. Frank thought he could get away with it. Unfortunately it's one manager too far, plus the fans are more aware of player power than ever before.

His replacement Soldado with a hat-trick tonight, Fernando's stock forever plummeting.

You are really undermining Jose's intelligence.

So you think this is a justified argument for shipping out Josh?, to keep a 33 year old happy.

The point being... one of the arguments people use against Mourinho, is that he never gives youth a chance. Yet the average age of our first eleven under AVB, is the same as it was under Mourinho (give or take).

"Mourinho won't give youth a chance" Neither does AVB. Where is Lukaku?, Where is Josh McEachran?, what happened to Oriol?, Where is Kakuta?, how much game time does Ryan Bertrand get? "He will stay for 2-3 season then fuck off" What if he's finally ready to settle down, which is something he has been hinting at. Do we risk Spurs appointing him for 10 years?

Boris Johnson should turn this into an actual statue.

"We've been through this Torres situation before, with Kezman and Shevchenko." ^ Publicly Taking shots at Torres, he's speaking like a fan would, not sure if that's a good thing..

Roman has been quiet for too long though, we don't want even more attention on him, it's bad enough Sky/BBC would rather show us multiple shots of Roman’s reactions from his executive box than the game itself. Roman is responsible for the manager merry go round, and blamed for every bad signing, whereas Mansour is relatively new on the scene. Breaking silence during a crisis season will only feed the press, and leave the fans wanting more. Besides, AVB has already confirmed that sealing a CL spot is the minimum requirement, so we already know Roman's amended objectives for the rest of the season.

Yes. Every single word he says will be twisted by the media, and once you break that silence.. there is no going back. I doubt he would be able to tell us anything Buck & Gourlay couldn't anyway. So it would be rather pointless, and would only make us look like a club in crisis.

Roman's words will get twisted by the media, and once he speaks we will only want more.

FFS Cardiff, awful penalty that.. awful.

LMAOOOOO

The magic of the FA Cup Carling cup

LMAO FUCKK Get in there.

Well at least he's made it public and we have quotes now. A few pages back in this thread, people were sticking their heads in the sand and denying it.

Juan Mata - 55k pw Saloman Kalou - 80k pw I give up.

Cavani is the best out and out striker in world football.

The same could be said for Meireles, form wise. Yet he still manages to keep his place... That's why.
