Fulham Broadway 17,363 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've always said that unless the manager is a technician, he is just there to fill the space..If winning isn't enough of a motivation, then the players need something much more then a manager. I believe we will turn things around and end the season strong. We have the squad to win big games and if people here think we can't beat Napoli 2-0 at home then they obviously don't know the REAL Chelsea FC.. I feel bad for AVB but let's all be honest, he made too many mistakes at a club thats unforgiving..Cant beleive some of the romance people are attaching to him. I am sure hes a lovely young millionaire who has Barons and nobilty as relatives -but the bottom line he didnt command the respect of the players, and the results were the worst run for nigh on 20 years. You couple that with Abramovichs staff record and ''Adios Andre'' was a nailed on certainty.At games I've been to the fans have been calling for his head for about 8 weeks.Oh and when people say the old chestnut''bbbbbbbut we need continuity'' No. It would be nice but its hardly given Arsenal fans a cabinet full of glittering prizes.

Over here the games are between 12.00am and 7:00am. Try explaining to your workers that there boss was late because he was watching his team lose a 3 goal lead to Manchester United.. I could have killed somebody on the way to work that day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they all innocent who should never be talked about negativly and never take any of the blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they all innocent who should never be talked about negativly and never take any of the blameThe whole club needs to take a good look at themselves, including the players. What has become apparent , if you look at all the personnel that have come and gone that its akin to a realtive winning the lottery and then they've suddenly got loads of mates trying to get a piece of the pie -without the family/club coming first.You can blame some of the senior players for having their little gang -but you could also have a go at Abramovich as he seems to side with them over the new incumbents (Scolari/Boas) The players have had incredible confidence put into them by Mourinho -(he's very good at that, if you read some of the players autobiographies( he tells them they are absolutely fucking brilliant -''Now go out and play'',)These same players then have a constant stream of managers who, to them, are not part of their history.Its like kids who have a single Mum, but suddenly all these ''uncles'' appear, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board and Roman have to take a llot of the blame for lettingg it grow and become what it is. When you have the owner talking to the players on mobile phones frequently, giving them holidays on their yacht and even officiating their weddings (http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/dirty-tackle/post/roman-abramovich-reportedly-officiated-drogbas-wedding?urn=sow-wp2558) then your just asking for trouble.Basically Mourinho started it by giving them the whole untouchables crap, Roman let it grew and AVB did not get rid of at the beggining even though he had the resources to do it.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Haha, I've lost my voice from singing. Genuinely went fucking berserk went Meireles scored, I ran up and down the aisle beating my chest for some reason or another. Most passionate celebration for a goal I've done since Mata scored against Les Arseholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 My celebration when Mata scored against Arsenal left me with so much egg on my face it's still not all off.
