Rubber bullets

I do hate Lampard's shoot on site policy, 99% of the time it leads to nothing but the opposition getting the ball back.

His 23, he has played nearly 150 senior games, he was in the starting line up in the winning team of a Champions league final. He does not need a personal tutor, especially from someone who basically, whether on form or name only, will always limit his game time in his favored position, at a stage of his career where he should be playing regularly. Saying that he is happy to have Cole stay for another year, possibly even longer, comes across that he is happy to continuously be a bench player a lot of the time - not exactly the sign of a hungry player wanting to succeed.

I fear this young man lacks ambition. At 23 going 24 he should be wanting to be a first choice in his club's left back position. Going to the media and saying how glad you are that your rival for that left back position is staying for another year (and with most managers likely to go safe and make Cole unchallenged for that spot, means he will probably not be getting regular first team football in his natural position until he is about 25), comes across as someone with not much confidence in his own natural abilities and accepts defeat that he will be spending the rest of his time at Chelsea ass a sub before leaving for pastures greener.

Well what's your explanation? They did it for shits and giggles?

Err, they were both roughly the same height.

Florent Malouda thinks Chelsea is petty. Most people think Malouda is a cunt.

He and Lampard are actually good mates. He helped write his biography so he may have good connections on the contract situation.

The problem is that some people think he never has and never can make mistakes, and that by appointing him again we are suddenly going to have years and years of nothing but prosperity under him under the idea that he should never have left in the first place (even though huge cracks were appearing between him, the boar and consequently the team) and if he had not left we would be going nothing but going up.

Silly, I'm just heading caution and wanting to be rational (something you probably lack). I just feel that people continuously yapping that Mourinho should come back "home" where he "belongs" is making him bigger then the club. Which I find squeamish.

Problem is that some people have this grandiose idea that he will be sticking around for possibly 15 even as long as 20 years. That's not going to happen, because about the second or third year he either starts getting bored (Porto and Inter) or gets into conflict with the board (Us and Madrid). Also, I still find it ironically sad that people are celebrating whenever a news report comes out of him unable to get the dressing room to cooperate? Yeah because it's not like it actually shows that he is not an indestructible manager who never does anything wrong management wise.

Sorry but the people who keep posting "Please come home Jose!" and "Come back to where you belong!" sound like 5 year old kids begging for sweet. Sure he may bring a couple of trophies. But it will be 3-4 years max and them him leaving due to conflict with the board and even players. Talk about making someone bigger then the club.

Tsk, Tsk Kalou booked for diving.

On twitter Martin Lipton says no meeting is being planned. Apparently Rafa has been given two days off but will not be getting sacked.

Most managers who are under pressure usually get about 3 meetings before getting sacked. Sadly this is just the first.

I don't have anything against JT. I just think his body is rapidly breaking down. I mean this guy has taken a lot of punishment in terms of playing through injuries and I thinkk father time is quickly coming to him due to it. This will effect is ability to perform, for example his pace (which he didn't have much in the first place) is quickly degrading and his ability to react will be less reliable. I expect that these long periods where has to recuperate will be much more common as he becomes increasingly more injury prone. I even think he won't be a Chelsea player when his current contract runs out because of these issues. Unless he takes a ridiculous pay cut (an I mean based if he could only start about 15-20 games a season) and that's if he even is able to continue his career or has to retire at about 33. It does seem we should start planning life without John Terry.

O.K. But Cisse didn't exactly kill his family in a cold calculated conspiracy, he blocked him on a football pitch. Not exactly a reason to go all guns blazing and expose the defense leading to a goal. Its called bad decision making. Tobe honest I think its becoming more prevalent in his game which is leading to more mistake (Liverpool last season anybody?)

I wish he would show that much "care"when his actually playing on the bloody pitch

No. Are you going to continue to accept his mistakes that cost our games for much longer? Once Luiz is fit again he should spend some time in the reserves.

So causing us to concede goals which help us lose games is o.k as long as you try a get vengeance on someone. Yeah, great morals - should be taught to all kids in schools.

Its like a weird CFC version of Murphy's law. The manager everyone wants to see sack is getting the most leeway from the owner.

Looked completely loss today.Managed to put some tackles in(could have easily been sent off) but he never seems to be that speed demon who would make us from defense to attack in a nanosecond.

You can tell that injuries are taking toll on his performances, and possible on his brain with some of his awefull decision making.

Shame he goes fucking missing as soon as the opposition starts pressing us just even slightly.

Sorry but someone who cost you the Community Shield and league cup, who plays a big part in our shambles in the Super Cup. And keeps making basic errors time and time again that cost you points. You don't deserve to be described in nice words.

How has this cunt become so utter shit and pathetic? Why the fuck is this wanker never dropped? I'm sick of his liabilities costing us leads.
