The Roberto Di Matteo Thread

[Blue Gino 377]

Still don't understand the Di Matteo sacking...

I mean we hired Rafa and he's only won 7 out of 14 EPL games in charge...

I think Di Matteo would have matched Rafa's current record.

RDM was sacked because he was never first choice and I'm sure Torres had a lot to do with it, not just his form but he stuck a knife in RDM's back by conspiring with Emenalo to bring Rafa in. RDM got wind of this and played Juventus without a striker. Now Rafa can't even get Torres to score so hopefully all three of those idiots are gone.

Worse thing is when heard it werent just 'nah thats just a load of shit' did honestly think they would do something like that....

Best place to put this pic in:

RDM pic gone according to Michelle Shaw and others - shameful

I think there is still a picture of him on the old shed wall- I don't think the club are stupid enough to take that down because it would be blindingly obvious but I don't remember if there is a picture of the team (including him) on the wall opposite the West stand. I think there was at the start of the season, I'll check on Saturday. They might have just taken down that photo and put another one up where he wasn't in it originally

Christ. Yes Torres is now shit, but blaming him for everything that happens in life is just fucking ridiculous!

I'm just waiting for the day that I see a thread made that says 'Torres killed my mum and raped my dog'..

at least we still have this..

[Liquidator 5,176]

Yep article in daily mail I think it was showing that he has been airbrushed. What a fucking joke, the club are now so stupid that they think they can rewrite history.

I can see both sides. Yes we've put up a different photo, but the new one is actually better isn't it? From what I can tell he was never in the original so he's been neither airbrushed or cropped out has he?

Silly PR cock-up though because the media were always going to make something of it.

Lmao I was at SB on Thursday. There's no "airbrushing", what a joke, he's still there.

Erm no he isn't. The team photo has been replaced with one of the players with the cl trophy.

OH team photo!

Yeah he's gone from there, I thought people thought he was nowhere to be seen around the Bridge. There are still pictures of him from that night.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Its really decieving, they changed this photo:

to this:

They didn't intentially get rid of Di Matteo, he was never in the shot:

But would've been nice if they chose a photo with Di Matteo in but this story has been blown way out of proportion. The fact that there's still photos of him scattered all over the bridge hasn't been mentioned by the media I guess.

[zolayes 14,489]

the Russians have a history of airbrushing history....long live the KGB

[Milan 17,853]

I don't want the current picture either, there is also Bosingwa who is not part of the current squad...

Silly decision really.

[Liquidator 5,176]

The club justified the change of picture by saying 'Di Matteo is no longer the manager'.

So why have they chosen to replace him with a photo that features Drogba, Bosingwa and Meireles?

[Rmpr 8,977]

I see nothing wrong with the change really. People are seeing what they want to see....

At first, I thought they had took every single photo or memory of RDM away from the Bridge!

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Same!I thought there was just a gap where he used to be or something
