see, waddya know? mr bad moment has it all locked deon tight, the champs lgs is the target.

no shakement

hear ye hear ye, mr bad moment himself speaks:

But despite the huge pressure on his shoulders, Ancelotti revealed such a make-or-break scenario was nothing new for him, with the Italian having won the Champions League with AC Milan in 2007 in similar circumstances.

"The season is not finished," said Ancelotti, who also led Milan to fourth place in Serie A that year despite the club being docked eight points in the Italian match-fixing scandal.

"A lot of times, I've been able to manage this moment.

"I want to remind you in 2007 it was the same situation and the Italian journalists know this.

"Maybe it could be the best season that we can ever have a memory of. Maybe it could be the worst. I don't know.

"But wait, wait. Chelsea has not died. It's still alive."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

in short, all this was the game plan! dont u pple get it, he wanna win the big ears, so he is using this game plan.

o shucks, how come all of us didnt see this superb gameplan


this is delusion of the highest order, kai the man sef don confuse

how is it dt midget always gets away with dt crap in la liga n cant elsewhere? oh sori, he got away with it @ u20 too. sigh, dt boi na cheat player simple.

and why is it u can tell arsenal reserves will make a mess of eating a boiled egg? tbb tho, i dnt tink monsieur shld be starting two bumbling giraffes in attack at the same time!! thats double whammy. the two offered abt as much threat as my great grand mum in a boxing ring!!

anywas, they wll be the ones to play in the replay anyways. they shld remedy their wrong.

and i believe there is a u 17 goalkeeper? i think he shld play bo. these mumu called almunia will neva change. manonne f up sha, see free shirt and opportunity, him just go jam talk baba ijebu. too bad. and in the name of all holy and beautiful, how does one play professional footy fr years and still cannot control the ball, bendtner am looking at u!!!! that bloke has the first touch of a crippled baboon, sorri, lol. but its really annoying to see that guy control the ball four yards ahead and then run after it, not that he kuku looks good on the ball, very ungainly (rather like uncle shege on the novelty gen gen)

hmmn, na wah o stoke, Goddey o

Chelsea haven't been very good for very long. Not really.

For most of my life the blues have been pretty much also-rans in terms of league performance. The 1969/1970 side was very good and finished third, ten years later they finished fourth.

But mostly they've been a bit rubbish. From the mid 70s to the early 80s Chelsea spent seven out of nine seasons in the old second division.

The early years of the Premier League were similarly mediocre. It's really only been the last twelve or thirteen years which have seen them consistently challenge for honours. Admittedly if you're 25 years old this will seem like most of your life

So what?

Well, exactly, so what. It doesn't matter. Chelsea are a different club since Roman Abramovich's money turned them from also-rans into champions, and yet in many ways it's the same old Chelsea. In the last 25 years, the club has had 15 managers. Instability has always been a way of life at Chelsea even in less volatile, less Mammon-dominated eras.

Chelsea's decline this season is all relative but Chelsea seem to be judged to a different standard, not so much by the fans but by their owner. If the manager doesn't win the league for the Blues, they are sacked. This seems a bit rash to those of us with longer memories of the club that would have bitten off its own legs for a top three finish.

However, Abramovich has merely accelerated a Chelsea managerial tradition.

This strikes most observers as madness. You can be the best manager who exists on earth and still get the sack at Chelsea. While the more yuppie types amongst their fan base might be fond of phrases such as 'failure is not an option,' 'winning is everything,' 'he who dares wins' and 'this time next year we'll be millionaires, Rodney,' but back in the real world, football is notoriously reluctant to be bent to the will of a very rich man. You can buy a lot of success but not perpetual success. Surely, Abramovich realises that?

Even though Carlo Ancelotti was fabulously successful last year, that already appears to have been wiped from his balance sheet. He has no capital from it and by common consent seems likely to be out the door in the summer, if not sooner, especially if the mighty FC Copenhagen do an Everton on them.

While Carlo bears the look and body language of a man who really would rather like to be paid off as soon as possible, the failures of this season are much more down to the club than to him. The failure to recruit talent when in a position of strength; the failure to produce top flight-ready players from within their own ranks; the reliance on a core of older players who were always, at some point, going to suffer the vicissitudes of age are all the fault of their owner not of Ancelotti as the Italian clearly knows but cannot say.

Now with 'only' the Champions League left to contend for and the odds of them winning it lengthening, the revolving managers' doors will soon be spinning again and once more the roller-coaster will begin with another poor sap in charge on the win or bust Chelsea charabanc.

All of which gives the rest of us a lot of fun and all of which is making Chelsea a bit of a laughing stock, even by their own impressive standards. Most clubs would be delighted to have Ancellotti as manager and would accept that not every season is going to be a double winning one. But not Chelsea, or at least, not their owner.

How long can this go on? Don't the fans mind? Are they fed up of this scorched earth managerial policy? Doesn't it make the success achieved feel all the more plastic when it seems to counts for so little with the owner? When you win a league title it should be a major foundation stone in the construction of an empire, not a disposable honour which is all but forgotten within months.

It's one thing to get rid of a manager who hasn't moved the club on or who is just downright rubbish, quite another to sack one who has just won two out of the four trophies available so recently.

The fact that Chelsea hasn't won the Champions League by pursuing this policy should surely tell Abramovich that it doesn't work. You can't just go through every manager available hoping he'll be the one and then sacking him when he doesn't do it right away. Well, you can, but it just proves you're mad.

This lack of stability and ruthless attitude means that from the outside Chelsea FC doesn't seem like a football club; it seems more like a football facility. It seems cold and more like a multi-national corporation than a football club. The sacking of Ray Wilkins was emblematic of that. Here was a much-liked coach, an ex-club captain, noble servant and thoroughly decent bloke.

Yet regardless, he's dumped mid-season without warning, against the manager's wishes, as though he was little more than the YTS lad (does YTS still exist?), and to what end? What has been gained by that? Nothing.

It's tempting to believe that had Abramovich not become jealous of Jose Mourinho, all the European success he apparently craves would already be lining the trophy cabinet courtesy of his managerial brilliance. That must hurt every Chelsea fan. It must also make them hold Abramovich in some contempt, surely. It certainly makes the rest of us feel like that. You let Mourinho go, the greatest manager of his generation. You fools. How can anyone have any respect for the club hierarchy on the back of such a monumentally stupid decision?

Not that Roman cares and perhaps it is only the hiring and firing, along with pursuit of the Champions League trophy, that keeps him interested. Perhaps if they did win it, he'll lose any fascination he's got for football and spend a few years doing something else. Perhaps then Chelsea will return to being what they traditionally always have been - also-rans.

the lamenatations continues.

weeping and gnashing of teeth.

pointing accusing fingers, insults flying, arguments blossoming, hmmnn, is too mush

OYA STOP SEBE!!! OOOshe!!!!

hmmn wonder what next in the soap opera called bad moment. sack anyone?

anyways onto better stirvs, this reserve team had better show up tomorrow o, cannot stand the usual rubbish they lay down. even the school boiz were doing better in previous years in the cc, awon agbaya lawon eleyi fe ya o.

pls is rambo's loan till season end? would prefer that boi to diaby or denny as the bench reserve oooooo

but thiz dk is a very wierd twunt o, imagine opening a thread and being the only mumu using it to support some backwater nazi team of gay gots!!!

oshi o da, wetin be toorr? egbe, abami eda

@ switch, looool. lwkmd. i tire o, which one be all dis english grammer naw? sake of say just to win one match?

yawn, abeg abeg, make we hear word joo. talk more interesting stuff, like u want bendtner to replace dd for 35 mill!!! ehen

all dis complaining and grammer no fit help una o, afterall it six wins out of last nineteen matces, not bad at all, considering the value of the team. you just need a cash injection of three hundred mill only

better go and start begging mourinho to come back, mumu chavs

getting it done at emirates is not an option, thats an unneeded extra game at the business end of the season.

@rasputin, diaby, denilsn, almunia, eboue, etc etc. find myself hoping some u 17 runts play instead, those nuccas are crap

wen we said deja vu was in the air, una say one tin one tin, i remember the last time diamond formation came up in chelsea, it was a hitherto world class coach who bore the brunt, hapless scolari. he went from world class to hopeless in a season at chelsea.

also remember when a hitherto world class striker was bought at chelsea for a record sum, he went from world class to rubbish in a season at the same chelsea.

but ancelotti just won a double last season, is he now shyte? and by the way at no time in ur recent existence did u folks "play" good football. u played effective functional, godawful football. the last times anyone tried to get u to play good footy went badly i.e gullit and scolari.

some things dont mix, chelsea and good footy for example.

long live bad moment two

hehe, i see bad moment 2 is selling out the box office! clueless runts.

d solution is simple i tell ya, three hundred mill on new signings, say four of em should take care of ur woes,long may they last

hmmn, mourinho is a man with balls of steel, that abramovic man is not one to lock horns wi+h

the names on that team list fills one with dread. wouldnt be surprised it goes to a replay, those boiz need jesus

see competition. lolz. una no go sell mammy water join so? make moni fit plenty

my voice has still not returned o

na where dem don divert all the bandwidth go na, wey the 3g services is now so very very f*cked

@evilbrain, thats nice. gyd job. guess the card may be the issue sha. the hub u using is the one that comes with swift 4g eh? humn,

wonder if anyone can recommend th best hub in the nigerian market that one can get easily. i dont own a ps3 anyway, and dont intend to get one. but will do this soon as i can get a free weekend tho.

@ qll, whose been trying any of tye new desktop envroments, gnome 3 and unity? from what am seeing from shots gnome 3 is looking better tho. hope they can clean up the code and mutter for optimised running, dont like resource hogs imho. i dont have a machine to run alpha releases so im chilling. if yu have been using em pls tell abt ur experiences

i ave no internet service. is tht the case everywhere?

anyways mtn is no better. at least glo is a special situation, i can hardly use my mtn for 14 hrs on a good day. they ALWAYS have some network issue. my bundle on mtn has been unuseable for aweek now except at 4am in the morn.

@ texazzpete, i dunno man, but having thought about this for a few days, i keep getting this feeling that it was not a smart move for nokia.

basically, this is the last roll of the dice, and a winn all or lose all play. the new nokia chap is just stupidly going all bull headed gung-ho about it, coming from microsoft is not a knowitall guarantee, and u just get the inpression that in his bid to go all out he is selling out the nokia ethos.


WP7 is by no means a killer os, a million confirmed sales in months is by no means a challenging situation for ios and android. all the talk about nokia hardware is to my mind missing it. the phones released by HTC and samsung for wp7 were by no means slouches, the phones just didnt have the buzz needed.


microsoft will by no means be overtly bothered by no progress in the smartphone market, they simply want a challenge, if it doesnt work they look forward to something else. for Nokia that is ALL they are about, if it fails they go bust. whats at stake for either is not the same.

then the simple annoyances atre not being talked about in this euphoria, like how windows phone 7 is an annoying os with ridiculous deficiences that have not being corrected MONTHS after launch. there is yet to be an update to wp7 to bring the much awaited SIMPLE fixes, hell the functionality being added to android each iteration is amusingly superior that wp7 is not competitive at all



which also brings one to the point again that will nokia all of a sudden be responsible for improving wp7? cos microsoft seem not to be able to keep up with it. then how much of control will nokia have over modifications to the os? yeah they said expansively they would, but am pretty sure thats not gonna be the case.

wp7 is not elegant enuf at all, those square tiles is someone's idea of a super design, did they even look at IOS?

Nokia, whilst announcing this just killed meego and symbian. maybe thankfullly now all those rubbish fones will become reasonably priced. who in their right minds will be investing in symbian now?

big gamble, which i think nokia will lose, big time. time will tell tho

aswerigad this boiz are madt. wat is dis nonsense? so na only VP sabi net? this arshavin matter no be ordinary eye o

@frgy, yes believe it or not, thats microsoft for u o, think they can get away with anything

with 256mb ram and a ARM processor?

that thing is 20k shey?

cos i dunno what u will be able to do with that processor and ram, as in really, the average phone has better specs and you still cannot do much with them considering. . . . . .

hmmn, wellz, me thinks its a rebranded chink, and with bad specs at that, at least bump the ram to 1 gb to compensate a bit

rubbish talk

do they get booed when they play well?
do they get cheered when they play badlyoutside lagos as usual?

u seem to think the pple are dumb and ur soo smart, remind me of the last time eagles played a proper decent heartwarming match.

so u think that if they put their all into a match which incidentally would be apparent to even a blind man they would be booed?

they will not! by no means.


u pple can take ur halfrate rubbish team and shove it where the sun dnt shine. by all means take the matches to kontagora or even port novo, let the ones there be the ones to witness the country name and flag being rubbished serially.

shebi na becos pple turn up una dey yarn opaks. nonsense.

if na clubside dem go move from stadium cos dem fans dey boo dem?


abi nor be dis same lagos u17 etc dey take place, why dem nor boo dose ones? tseew nonsense, arrant nonsense. we should applaud persistent mediocrity and rubbish footy?

ahan, something is wrong. how come all of a sudden you pplle are yarning all dis?

is someone using debosky's account? this were the exact things i was getting insulted for saying tho i was not using big big grammer!

anyways, no shakement, in wenger una trust oooooo, pls sha win carling cup make the insult reduce small

hmmn.

please how is a promotion evidence of a witch hunt?

since when did it become customary and as of right to reject a promotion in a government appointment?

why is there the need to sit tight at the court of appeal?

having severally announced as some here have done that the judge in question is qualified to be a supreme court judge, and that he is presently the most senior of all court of appeal judges, why is his appointment out of place?




you people seem to forget in the midst of the rush of blood to the head wanting to castigate and accuse the presidency of all manners of what nots, that this could actually be the reverse.

appeals from guber and assembly polls terminate at the court of appeal, thats a lot of influence to have and that is why the man is bent on sitting tight

is he also saying that the other judges of the court of appeal who may take over are incompetent or compromised? those are weighty allegations.


what he has just achieved is bastardisation of the integrity and name of the court of appeal.


Note that this is the same man parties in appeals at the guber stage in the last polls are accusing of heavy issues. i read some of them in the guardian this week and am afraid, sour grapes or not they did have a point.

there has been an uproar even amongst the bar about inconsistencies in the decisions of the election tribunals.



stop to consider this issues from both sides and quit giving in to the knee jerk reaction of criticizing the govt simply because anyone says something negative.

the man ought to face disciplinary panel for bringing the bench into disrepute. this offends all known decorum and only serves as ammunition for people to stand up tomorrow and question the integrity of the courts without basis.

you forget that a lawyer even when he is totally wrong, will argue strenuously and bend facts to suit his purpose

is donkeykanu actually referring to six titles in decade in the backwater rundown one man, halfrate rubbish league he hopelessly follows?

ahh i feel for u, senility is taking a hold. i wonder what delusion would make a man boast of winning a league the equivlent of glopremier league six times in a decade. even in glo league sef nobody wins six in ten. mumu

ode to the incurable optimist!!

pls id like to start a poll on whose worse, duduspace or debosky? lolz


u knw wat @ dudu, i agree with ur opinion bar one tiny weeny aspect: how can u explain the apathy or refusal to do the obvious needful, example getting an extra body, loan, free buy whatever in defence this january? u also believe the one to two mill is too much to gamble on shoring up the possibility of challenging for the trophy?

or for instance getting rid of almunia who will never be good and whose confidence is shot to pieces anyway? cannot cost more than 4 mill to get an experienced campaigner somewhere in europe and i aint saying that person should come be first choice.

does not the spectre of szcesny breaking down b4 a make or mar match and having to get almunia between the sticks fill u with dread?


u see its not all about the cash, and dont make it sound as though the only way to get good buys is by spending like chelsea, oftentimes the odd gamble pays off, and is needed. like this jan need for a defender, somebody on the bench in case, just in case, playing our only DM in defence is not a sound idea anyway u look at it, a max outlay of 1.5 mill on a gamble on the teams chances at the league is not too much, much more the figures touted for extra tires like samba.


there my man, is where ur much vaunted manager and board miss the point. am sorry but i do not give them my backing for whatever grandiose plans they have.
