Term-X

Ferguson is an anomaly.

Roman's methods >>>>>>>>

Not entirely, for example.. it was Kenyon who appointed Scolari. And consequently Kenyon was sacked for it.

In Roman I trust. Jose' & Ancelotti (at a push) were the only debatable sackings, the rest were spot on.

Being the first reigning Champions to get knocked out of the group stage, is something that will haunt us forever as a football club. A permanent black mark.

We should refuse to take part in the channel 5 cup, or at least play the u21/reserve team.

Joe Hart is the most overrated goalkeeper in world football history.

Instability won us the Champions League. If you don't like Roman's methods, I hear Arsenal are rich in managerial stability, you should check them out.

Yea, I told everyone on this forum in 2011 that the mayor wouldn't allow it. It was never going to happen in Amsterdam, they are self governed.

Short term, yes. In the grand scheme of things, a drop in the ocean.

It's all relative.

Ron Gourlay is a genius if you think about it.. A Message to all referees on behalf of Chelsea FC: Fuck with us, and we'll Destory your reputation & livelihood. Risky though.

Precisely.

United will be getting the Juve treatment in a few years time.. Clattenburg needs to be thoroughly investigated, search his property, email exchanges etc..

As we're already witnessing, this is the season Juan Mata topples David Silva's overblown reputation in the PL.

The crazy thing about RDM's Chelsea is that when I watch a game and we're losing, (2-1 spurs in this case) I still believe, I'm not in a negative mind state.

It's actually somewhat embarrassing how Torres is keeping this guy out of the team, we are one in-form striker away from being title challengers.

Oh, so that's what he needed.. You can 'back' a pig 100% that it's going to fly, it isn't going to suddenly grow wings.

Why focus on the trivial.. I'd rather appreciate how swiftly our attacking mid has adapted to the transition, and consequently new attacking philosophy. Great game, great to be a Chelsea fan in 2012.

Willian was another player who would have come in had we become a channel 5 club, so Marin would still be a mere squad player. In no conditions is £6.5m a gamble for a top flight club anyway tbf.

If he goes to City (or any other premier league club for that matter).. that's his legend status out of the window as far as I'm concerned, I will mentally white wash him from history.

In no circumstance is signing a 'squad player' for £6.5m a gamble.

Daily Mail strikes again.

Restricting the players communications with the fans like that would be a step backwards, modern football clubs should be adapting. Forcing him to quit twitter sends out the wrong messages, a slap on the wrists will suffice.

It would be hard to make a considerable return on investment with Hazard though, unless he really does become a superstar.
