We seem to work best with powerful men leading the line and Drogba is the archetype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to work best with powerful men leading the line and Drogba is the archetype. His stament of us needing more black players in order to scare the opposition is down right insulting and to defend it is ludacris. Drogba was physically strong and powerful, thats how he terrorized defenders, not because he was black. He was skinny when he arrived and worked on his physic as a target man Rambo and Amblรจve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not agreeing with a post made by Hutcho in order to not look like a twat.

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I do agree with the sentiment that a world class striker may not be neccessary.I think Ba,lukaku and aspas can do the job for us next season but we need 2 world class midfielders and offload torres.Tbh if we dont sign anybody next summer and just sell torres i would be satisfied,I know it sounds stupid.

The West African produce bigger heavier faster athletes and footballers . The East African leaner builds with greater stamina ... It IS NOT RACISTto recognise these aspects ...

I think you're the only one who wanted to read that a Chelsea supporter was being racist because it fits your agenda. You've criticised our support in other threads so maybe that's your thing.Not being funny, but you don't seem to like this club or it's supporters very much.

I can see where you are coming from, in the way it sounds but I am sure he did not mean any racial offence, he just stating that due to a lot of black players physical presence.

You've criticised our support in other threads so maybe that's your thing.Not being funny, but you don't seem to like this club or it's supporters very much.Because stating, "To scare opposition', is a well and thoroughly deprived statement and has nothing to do with the players skin when phrased The way this club has been running and our support as of late, deserves criticism. To the highest amount. From over the billions we invested , our board and Roman have nearly flushed down this Club's tradition and prestige and have made a mockery of how this club was viewed before Roman.

From over the billions we invested , our board and Roman have nearly flushed down this Club's tradition and prestige and have made a mockery of how this club was viewed before Roman. Drogba did scare the opposition though. Maybe he worded it incorrectly, and I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt considering his clarification.As for our support, no they don't deserve criticism and especially not from you. You keep telling me about this club though, considering you were about 10 when Roman bought it. Regale me with stories of the Bridge under Ken Bates. Paint me a picture of what it was like. Has the club made mistakes? Absolutely. Which club hasn't? But they're trying to rectify them now and I'll give them credit for the steps they're taking.As for our supporters though, they've been put through the ringer over the last six months yet they were in Prague on Thursday, and they were in Newcastle last weekend and they were at the game yesterday, supporting this club and giving love to the players. Yes there are rumblings of discontent but that's not very surprising now is it? But they'll still be there, because that's what they do and if they're nervous and quiet for a bit then who gives a fuck? kellzfresh and Leif 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Wow, this thread has taken a turn.To clarify, i was not implying that soveticus was being racist, but simply stating it is their characteristics that make the defenders scared. Yes, as Zolayes pointed out, african players have a tendancy to produce those characteristics which would be scary to defenders, however it is their characteristics rather than skin colour. But anyway, surely we can all move on.Lukaku and Ba together would be something that would be able to match any partnership combo with strength and pace.

zolayes 14,489 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Pyschologists proved that all black strips were intimidating ... certainly in Rugby they do look more threatening than all white ,,, Incidentally I like Chelsea playing in black as second colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 @, stop being so touchy. Racist this racist that. I know it's popular to stir controversy with racial matters but just chill out ffs. In the Torres thread I used phrases like "white pansies" and "white trash", why didn't you attack me there? Because I was making fun of my own race? Actually I was making the exact same point, that we need more black players. Nobody said a word instead I got a load of likes. Had I used the word "black" instead of "white", I would have been banned by now probably. Peace. and The only place to be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
