Rafa Benitez is a joke of a manager in my honest opinion, i don't care about his acomplishments at Liverpool with the Champions League and he did make some good buys, but he fucked up, and i hate his attitude also, i loved it when Drogba made him eat his words in the champions league leg, Rafa bullshitting about him before the match.

He tried to replace world-class Xabi Alonso with Gareth Barry. Says it all really..

He also said Glen Johnson was the best right back in the league.

"Our squad was made for us to try and win four trophies," he said. "At the moment, it's a two-horse race for the league, but one of those two teams is going to be extremely unsuccessful this season. One of them will be out of the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Carling Cup, and is going to miss out on their objectives. Of the two [Manchester teams], one has a margin of doubt because it is an extremely successful team. The other invested a lot of money and has access to the best players."

Asked if Chelsea did not also have access to world's best players, Villas-Boas said: "Not to the extent City have, with their financial power. Maybe in the past we had it. We like to promote talent, but I don't think you can compare the two squads, to be fair. I think theirs is a lot better. When the top team has access to buy from their title rivals, you can build something extraordinary." City acquired Samir Nasri and Gaël Clichy from Arsenal and bought Carlos Tevez after a loan spell at Manchester United.

He added: "We had it in the past and did build something extraordinary. But I don't think you can expect Chelsea to buy from City and United now. When we bought Luiz and Torres, one came from a team in title contention in Portugal, the other from a team competing for the top four in the Premier League.

"I don't know if economic power has a direct influence on [a player's] choice-making. People could have gone to City because of the project that was being built, the super-team being put together. Perhaps that's what drove them. But the numbers being paid are top, are extreme. With financial fair play, maybe everyone will have better chance of access to those players. I don't think it's unfair. We had [that purchasing power] in the past. But City have a better squad, with more depth and with good players now. We have a very competent squad that was put together to go for four trophies. We haven't had the results we should have and, in normal circumstances, we would be ahead of [united and Spurs]. We have been under-performing."

"If you look at 2004-11, this club won three Premier League titles, three FA Cups, and were in three Champions League semi-finals and a final," said Villas-Boas. "If, in the next seven years, we have that may trophies again, we can reflect on these two years of change (more positively). They would have been two years where we rebuilt for a better future. I'm concentrating on building something extreme for next year, when there will be a higher expectancy of Chelsea because of what might have been a two-year gap being trophy-less."

All that's true of course, but not sure if now is the time or place to confess publicly. Have a nagging feeling he's getting things off his chest and get his say in because the sack might be looming. I hope not.

Rather have hopeless Big Phil back.

. And he never bought Torres, Roman did.

Why does every one assume Torres was just a panic but hoisted on the team by Roman?

Wilkins said that Carlo apparently got asked which forward he wanted back in the summer, Carlo said Torres and the Torres to Chelsea rumours coincidentally started when Carlo was appointed.

Just because he didn't work under Carlo doesn't mean he wasn't his singing, to put it midly it's another myth by Chelsea hater's that holds no water whatsoever, we should stop falling for things like this.

Well done Andre. Your support from the team is thinner every day and you go out and confess publicly that we are inferior to Man City and that we do not have the power anymore...great way to motivate your players.

It's just that, he realized he fucked up. Now he is trying to talk sense in why he should continue for a next season, as next season he will do the real revolution of the team, when it was suppose to happen this season.....

I have said in the past Jose should never return and put his legacy on the line but if we are stupid enough to sack AVB who is there left?

[Tomo 21,733]

Jesus do they ever give up.

[eldo 868]

Hahah fucking typical. Like zolayes said in other thread, media have created their own rules and you need to play by them. Unless if you are Arry of course then they love you.

[Tomo 21,733]

If i was a member of the media then one match when Scholes and Giggs are on the United bench, i will take a picture of Ferguson in the dugout with Scholes and Giggs looking moody and twist it and make a story that Fergie is losing control.

This is just sad.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

If I were Andre I would honestly sue their ass for that article.

[Madmax 9,219]

Is there honestly no way that shit rags like the one above can be sued for blatant misrepresentation?
