The Roberto Di Matteo Thread

Our record against top teams was shocking last season in the Premier League, did you know we only won one big team once, Man City at the Bridge.

After this season I said I didn't want RDM to stay on, he did so well and I just didn't want him being sacked if things don't go his way this season. But to be honest, I'm absolutely delighted that he's the new permanent manger, he does deserve it. I don't think there was anyone better out there at the moment, no way did I want the Barca meltdown Pep, let em sleep.

Any news on Eddie Newton yet?

2 year contract? My guess is that Robbie didn't want to accept 1y one, and he was right. Good thing to hear, fully deserved for doing the impossible.

Congrats Robbie!

Torres will be the death of him.

Hopefully he'll drop Nando, then he'll throw his toys out of the pram again and then gets sold.

Chelsea F.C is better off without Torres.

For the love of Osgood will someone delete the opening post?

I actually believe RDM can and will get much better out of torres.

Hes got no choice man its either him or Sturridge at the mo. Laugh if Sturridge gets all the games though.

Mostly thanks to AVB and some incompetent refereeing decisions along the way.
