A reply to Alan Hansen.

[Shane 2,275]

Midweek games come good for us once again, Our last win was a Wednesday night game against Fulham, Where Essien ran supreme, Tonight, another midweek game and we finally got a long overdue win. We were being written off left right and centre, Still are by Alan Hansen on Match of the Day, But one thing that many people are blaming for us 'not being in contention' is the strength of our bench, Roman letting the likes of Ballack, Deco, Joe Cole and Belleti going while not really replacing them, Yossi Benayoun out with a longterm injury and we had to relay on youth. One thing that people had been criticizing Chelsea for, When we do it, Its the end of our title chances. People are now expecting us to buy big in January, Which would see the end of our youth being given places on the bench. Maybe it was anger from Mr. Hansen that everyone is now talking about Liverpool's bad form since we won tonight, Or Jealousy as his beloved are midtable and seem to have a manager out of his debth, But his comments about us we're laughable.

He said he couldn't look beyond United because of their starting team, bench, and they know how to win a title. Mr Hansen what are you talking about, Our first team is arguably better than United's, Who seem to be relying on Berbatov which isn't an ideal place to be in, A whiner and diver in Luis Nani, Michael Carrick who I don't feel I have to talk about and a defence in Ferdinand and Vidic who seem to be shadows of there former selves. There bench consisted of players like Obertan, Macheda and Gary Neville, That for me doesn't seem like a bench that you can really rely on. While starting players like Darron Gibson, who can't even make it on the Ireland team, and his main strategy is to injure the opponents by hitting them as hard as he can with the ball, As every time he gets it he just seems to shoot.

And the know about of how to win a title? What did we do last year Alan? We went to Old Trafford and bet them in there own ground, But of course Match of the Day and co tried to take that victory off us aswell, Claiming Drogba (which he was) was in an offside poisition, If that goal was ruled out, The game would have been a draw. Its still talked about to this day and really annoys me, That no one seems to mention that Macheda clearly handballed it during his goal. But we don't know how to win it, Mr Hansen is AGAIN forgetting that we then, If winning at Old Trafford wasn't enough, went to Anfield and won there, Then demolished Wigan 8-0 to win the title.

So Mr. Hansen it would seem again that you my friend are talking shite, But enjoy the European Nights at Liverpool next season, They'll be consisting of Watching Ourselves, United, Arsenal and City or Spurs I'd imagine.

Well said mate. He doesn't half talk some shit.

Who cares what Hansen has to say. A scouse talking head = instant repellent.

Good Post. Hansen is usually good with his analyses, after a game. But we all know General Hindsight was the best army officer . With his predictions he is often way off the mark ''wont win anything with kids'' anyone ? ..just as Man Utd were embarking on their greatest run of cups ever.

To be fair he is usually quite pro Chelsea , but last night he was trotting out some rubbish.

Max, be fair. A scouse he is, but he is very intelligent, arguably one of the best pundits that there is right now. His analysis is usually very good, he just got carried away on the bandwagon last night

[Styles 9,790]

What are you guys actually moaning about? Hansen complimented our first team but said the squad is not good enough and he is spot on.

Ah yeah fair enough on Souness. He's great on SkySports.

Andy Townsend on ITV really annoys me. I know he's ex-Chelsea but he really does annoy me as a co-commentator.
