another difference ,,,when Roman came in we were on the edge of going bust. One man who played a major part in saving us was Trevor Birch ,,a football man but an expert in bankruptcy law . It was largely due to his skill that the club was sold to Roman .. We were about to be forced into a fire sale of our best player. When the Sheikh took over Citeh they were financially sound though lacking playing success.
you spoiled an excellent article for me with the cheap gag about buying the title .. The same remark I found petty and childish when directed at us . City are now a real threat ,,,as witnessed by the reaction of the United ,,,
in footballing terms fans look back at their history when the present is bad and the future doesnt look too good either. england 1966 the arse invincibles ...the geordies with Shearer and Wor Jackie ... the Toffees and Kendal .. spurs and Bill Nich ...Spammers with Moore .. Hurst Peters .. we have AVB JT no need to look back ...Blue Skies ahead ...KTF
I agree with almost everything you said but then you spoiled it with the dig at Kalou . I can't recall ANY of our players getting more abuse than Kalou . I still maintain he is a good impact sub and a valuable squad player who ALWAYS gives 100%. I can understand the knee jerk reactions of fans when we've just lost a game. But the continual slating of our players and the fantasy dreaming of who should replace them is nauseating.
if you had a loved one who has a serious addiction or addictions you would realise how much suffering is involved to the addict and the ones who love them . addiction like depression is an illness hopefully with more research into the depressive and addictive genes eventually cures will be found ... in the meantime may she R I P
very true ...pure theatre ..so much more entertaining than a tap in...think about the most fabulous stupid things ,,,Higuitas scorpion kick save against England
GOOD POSTagree Frank will truly go down as an all time Chelsea great , but as you correctly point out he wont be able to continue playing 90minutes and every game . Again your comparison with Giggs and Scholes is relevant, Used in the way they were used by Fergie we could get probably 3 more good years out of him WITHOUT stopping the development of younger players and the squad in general
