Roman Abramovich Thread

[Ossie the King 634]

Basically this.

Some people are stuck in the past and don't want to evolve.

Times have change and won't be the same.

Maybe I'm stuck in the past, getting the train into London, seeing those first flickers of blue at the station, having a chat with some bloke I've never met before but have known all my life, getting a song going on the tube, packing onto a train at Earl's Court and hopping off at West Brompton, having a sing in the Lily, wandering along to Brogans and sweating my bollocks off for a pint and then doing what I've done for almost 30 years, what my dad and uncle did, what their dad did and singing whether we win or lose.

Maybe I should just evolve.

But that sounds like shit.

your profile says you are 32 ..

[Ossie the King 634]

your profile says you are 32 ..

Your profile says you're 78 and you were a fan since 1975 which means you started supporting at the age of 38.

Is that any more believable than me being taken to a game whilst still an infant? Don't confuse the question mark as a sign that I'm excitedly awaiting a response to that. I believe we've both made all the points we need to make to one another. Best of luck to you but I've been advised to stick you on ignore and I think I'll be doing that.

keep him alive..he is harmless and actually a 'good egg' once he gets to know you.

He is not bad for a Tottenham fan parading as aChelsea one on here

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

After 13 seasons he's got a club who have no idea what they want to be on the pitch and he's surrounded himself with yes-men who will keep it that way whilst alienating the hardcore support on two separate occasions.

Two separate occasions you mean two sackings of Jose ?

FFS, stop spouting this shit, I'm sorry but Roman is the one that brought Jose here for the first time, no Roman = no Jose, it was his idea and thanks to him we even had an opportunity to have this adventure with Jose. Be grateful.

the Lillee.....thats where you have gone wrong ..sticking to that manky carpet. Anyway, its getting turned into a gastro pub soon

Better in the PoW opposite....shame its closing down

Bet Roman or members of the board have never ventured up there pre match or wandered down to the Goose to see how the hardcore take in their pre match rituals.

Infact, I bet they are seething that we are spending our dosh there and not at theground

No I meant this sacking of Jose and the hiring of Rafa.

I'm grateful for the things I've got to experience over the last 10 years but supporting this club isn't just about that. I was just as excited when I found out we had signed Mark Hughes on Ceefax to be honest.

Funnily enough I took my uncle to one of his old haunts up near the Kings Rd before the PSG match last season and that was a gastro pub too. Happens to us all mate, our dingy places get turned into swanky bars that take 20 minutes to get served at. God we sound old.

Its only passion, and only words. Free speech by fans, the people that prop up the game. We may not agree with it though

People running the game get away with shitty actions, corruption, ripping us off is worse

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Jose Mourinho grew hugely frustrated with the transfer structure at the club, and felt it was impossible to succeed at #Chelsea. [ESPN]

[Muzchap 8,966]

And in Manchester you have another team in blue who know exactly what they want to be, exactly who they want in charge, have two great footballing people actually running the club and an owner who spent THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS US NET in the summer.

We're a husk of a club at the moment.

A husk of a Club that has won more trophies than that shower of shite from Manchester.

They have spent way more than us and have barely scraped through in Europe, got done over by a bunch of pensioners playing for Yawn'ited, just laughable really...

I think you worry too much about having a long term plan, the world is very short term now, nothing is built to last.

None of us know how this will turn out, could be good, could be bad, but could be good, the only way to tell is live through it and it's easier to do that with a smile on your face...

And yet they're primed to win the league this season, look well positioned in Europe and have a great idea of who they want to take over next summer. Plus they have a fantastic infrastructure in place, a great academy and a growing stadium and fan base.

You quite within your rights to talk about short term thinking but I can honestly say I wouldn't follow such thinking in either my personal or professional life. Short-term aims are key, but you have to have long-term aims as well as measurable goals along the way.

They know exactly what they want to achieve this season and they went about doing it ruthlessly in the summer whilst we bodged every deal. You can dismiss them all you wish but let's see if you can do that next May.
