Remembering Robben

[Predator 114]

disrepecting one of Germanys truly great players,,, failed to reach 100 caps only through injury

In what way am I disrespecting Ballack? I never really even liked him so much tbh

Be careful then, he is thought of very highly here at Talk Chelsea. You don't want to start a flame war.

your dislike was obvious in calling him "ballsack" and to say he had a failed career is ludicrous.

Ballack, Lampard and Essien bullied the MF for years.

I can see why, with Bayern fans, he is not thought of so highly

its only a nickname

yes ballack did have a failed career, captained his own country to a final twice, and to the champions league twice, only could win domestic cups,

true Ballack also sacrificed his own attacking game to give stability to the midfield and allow Frank to attack.

was also a natural leader , remember him dealing with Drogba over the penalty

I was going to carry on a discussion about what is failure but noticed your age, You werent born when Ballack

started his career, Just how much have you seen of him.

I remember watching him since 2008, great player, but my argument is that he achieved almost nothing, I may be a young fan, but football has been a big part of me,

anyway mate, like Spike said, this can cause a flame war and that is something i would like to avoid

Not everyone was born in 1939 like you, Ron

Ballack was brilliant though, didn't he win a couple of Bundesligas and Deutsche Pokal's at Bayern?

[capriccioso 2,545]

We had probably the best midfield in the world. Ballack, Essien and Lampard, with Makelele on the bench. World beaters.

He did.

I'm kind of annoyed that Predator thinks that only mid table clubs like to win domestic honours. Everyone one at Chelsea loves winning the Premier League and FA Cup.

Many Players would kill to have the Career Ballack did.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Ballack is only disliked by Bayern supporters because he played our his contract to join (at the time) a bigger club.

When did this become a Ballack thread :banghead:.

[Spike 12,049]

When did this become a Ballack thread :banghead:.

When we realised that Ballack is much pleasent to talk about.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Robbery duo.

Nice. But I'll still say that our former Anelkalouda was the best portmanteau made by football fans

[J.F. 1,484]

I just hope so, that we will not remember him after this final.

Great player got injured when he come back not the same player he once was shame really
