Eddie Returns

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

So Eddie Newton has come back to assist RDM for this season in our hopeful quest to finish 4th ahead of evil Arsenal, who have come back from being in the bottom half of the table in November thanks to Robin van fucking Persie.

What a great guy, CFC through and through. Let's hope the players show these two legends (Eddie and RDM) some fucking respect and finally play some football for us fans who have payed top money for tickets.

IF they do well, it will have nothing to do with them being legends at the club. If the players aren't going to show respect to Carlo fucking Ancelotti, what makes you think they care about what di Matteo and Newton have done?

So while it's nice for us fans to see them here, the players don't give two shits about that. Maybe some will prefer di Matteo's style over AVB's, but if there is an improvement it won't have anything to do with the fact which manager they respect more.

Welcome back & Good luck Eddie, let's hope they can do something special.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Predictable, slightly. I heard Dons liked this partnership, so hopefully they do well

Di Matteo actually did well at WBA and was harshly sacked, they were still firmly poised to stay up for only the 2nd time in prem history even before Roy replaced RDM.

So does that mean he will be the manager til the end of the season? Otherwise what would be the point in hiring an assistant for one or two matches.

Glad to see Eddie back at the club. He was interviewed on talkSPORT last night and said he was waiting by the phone for the call to arms. A guy who genuinely loves the club.

He was quality at the begining, West Brom where high flying, the only reason he got sacked was because Hodgeson came knocking on the door and giving signals, it was the exact same with Pardew and Hughton. But i think Hughton was a little below expectations, but still should never of gotten sacked.

[Badboy 1,526]

He's a London man born and bred, good to have someone like that around the club.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I like him. A genuinly nice guy who loves Chelsea. I really hope he and Reborto do well and that their work is not comprimised by all the speculation for a new manager.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

He looks chuffed, cheers my mood up slightly

[Kieran. 6,317]

He should bring this back:

Good luck Eddie!

Exactly, RDM had a Barclays Manager of the Month award, something AVB never got

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

Hearing about how awesome Eddie and RDM seem to be at managing, the only thing that can stop us from beating Birmingham is...

a) Good performance by Birmingham.

Cashley, Lampard and the Board decide to show up.

That is rather funny

Lmao wasn't that when Di Matteo scored in like 20 seconds?, my dad was at that game. I would of just turned about 4 by then so i wasn't really a Chelsea fan, though i was wearing the full kit at that age!
