Ibime: Hodgson mismanaged
Ancelotti mismanaged
AVB mismanaged
RDM mismanaged

First it was the weather, then it was the slow midfield, then it was the lack of Spanish voices in dressing room, then it was Lampard, Drogba and Malouda, then Ancelooti, then AVB, then RDM, then MaZaCar, now shekpe eediots have been handed their final card - Rafa Benitez. Already Coogar is signing disclaimer "that Benitez may not get the best out of him". I hope we wont have to sign Kuyt, Gerrard and Maxi Rodriguez as well as recall Benayoun from loan to boot before excuses run out.

Never in the history of niggerdom has a bad workerman failed to blame his tools

FBS: Benitez promises to bring the best out of Torres! Good.
Are we playing for Fernando or playing to win?

The thing sef dey make me wonder like Femi wonder wonder

Di Matteo was stuck between a rock and a hard place anyway. Cos even if he started Torres Chelsea woulda still lost Di Matteo woulda still been fired

Good thing yall are stuck with Benitez till the end of the season even if he loses 10 games in a row

And D'Antoni cops his first loss against the worst team in the West! Seems the Lakers are going back to them early post-shaq days when only Kobe played ball. Even at 34 ninja is still comfortably leading the scorer's chart
Somebody tell Dwight to stop clowning and take off that headband

That Clippers vs Thunder game was live!

dayokanu: Actually Rafa na my man.

Expect a shitload of Spanish speaking players to flood Stamford bridge. Like 10 players from Spain and South America all priced at 3m each

But if Chelsea should get to the knockout stages they would be dangerous, Rafa is the best knockout football manager around

Mark Gonzalez,Albert Riera,Emilliano Insua that guy bought some nonsense players tho

As for Chelsea getting to the knockout stage forget it. The Agnelli family would probably cop each Shakhtar player a Maserati. And they would wind up playing an arrangee draw

@Nateevs
Rafa's late days at Liverpool and his tenure at Inter lol I wouldn't take that over RDM

Lol I'm convinced Cuban is planning a mega-trade somewhere along the line this season! Losing to the Warriors? These niggas can't be serious men

Lakers are looking good but would like to see how they fare against OKC,Clippers,Grizzlies just to be sure they've turned the corner

FBS: oh so its Rafa! well, well. . .will Chelsea fans protest at The Bridge on Sunday?
RA can do his thing but man, what was he thinking? are we to blame Fernando for this?

Sunday's match is getting even BIGGER by the day!

You guys might as well back Rafa its not like he hired himself

dayokanu: EPL champions and table toppers eliminated once again in the group stages

Dortmund tops group of death

Postpones the whole EPL is the best league debate till next year at least

Mustay: Rafael manages short term and Pep comes in - the latter must be taking English classes during this break of his.

All Romanus' coaches have always been INTERIM!

That babe has left Chelsea?? No way! . Sign her up Uli!

Last chance saloon for Torres now. He has blamed everything under the sun including his teammates now he has Benitez in his corner let's see how it goes

J12: It was very obvious that Di matteo was clueless yesterday night. We don't have a bad team, we just had a bad strategy from a clueless coach, on our most important european match so far this season. Roman has been clearly waiting for this moment since this season. He's got what he wanted.

I don't rate RDM that highly as a coach just so you know. But really I would like to know what you would have done differently if you where coach surely you are not one of those that think Chelsea would have gotten a result had Torres started? Afterall he came of the bench and did absolutely nothing

Isn't it fun seeing Ibime and Nateevs going back and forth all day like Red n Meth like Prost n Senna makes u wish Chelsea could sack their manager every week

Means we all agree that last season's UCL was a massive fluke!! Everyone forgets Chelsea finished a whopping 6th in the league

J12: RDM deserves the sack. It was very obvious that our run will definitely continue and we'll end up in the premier league mid table. His strategy against juve yesterday night was very mediocre, I can't remember the last time we played a five man defense. It was very obvious he was scared of losing the game and losing his job yesterday night.

No style guarantees you a win everytime it seems RA doesn't know this. Obviously RDM wanted to do what worked last season in the UCL unfortunately in players like Hazard,Oscar,Mata he didn't have the tools as those players bar Oscar didn't pull their weight defensively

4llerbuntu: On BBC Sport TWITTER FEED

"Just interviewed Rafa Benitez in Abu Dhabi. No contact from Chelsea yet. Is very interested in job. Would be open to caretaker role.

Benitez: Chelsea are a top side who can challenge for trophies and that is what I am looking for."


Lollzzz, say welcome to the TINKER MAN!!!!

benitez broke, e dey find money. Baba olowo is suffering from too much money. perfect fit

Benitez might actually be the man for the job. He did bring out the best of Torres at Liverpool and I don't see why he can't do the same at Chelsea

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWdrH-xjYV4

All the ladies (Bluediva,Razorr and other female Chelsea fans) shake up ya bum bum

This is crazy!! No coach can function under these kind of conditions. I doubt Pep would take the job after seeing what's on ground. This was supposed to be a rebuilding season and at that Chelsea are still in all 4 competitions. Shakhtar could beat Juve and Chelsea still qualify
It would still get to a point where Roman would have to get a coaching license himself (human greed would probably not let that happen tho)

dayokanu: If only we got Vidal in 2011 Maybe we might even have the CL now. These boys need a kick in the asss

Lmao Vidal is not why we didn't win the CL. Direct your blame to Gomez and Robben
Hummels is probably who we should not have given away that cheaply. This Dante-Badstuber partnership is not working for me

Red Bull really need to work on their alternator issues! This would be a silly way to lose a title. I doubt Alonso can win at Interlagos so all Vettel needs to do is finish in the top 4 or 5 really

dare2think: Lol, one thing haters cant do is take away our champions league Win in May.

Luck, fluke, gimmick or chance, our name is forever etched in history and on that cup!

Chelsea achieved something in 2012, what can other clubs say.

Lol but you are about to make another history! The first defending champion to get knocked out in the group stage

Take banana till you go yo!
Chelsea take banana till you go yo!

Great game! You guys did well from start to finish all yall need to do now is conspire an arrangee draw with Shakhtar and you guys advance

@debosky
You know say I no dey dull nau


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMOUz0LGUq4

Wow! Na so we for lose this game sha! What's with this complacency when the opposing team is one man down? This is not the 1st time we've nearly lost a game in similar circumstances
Martinez not justifying that price tag at all IMO but all in all we've qualified that's what matters

Chelsea really fall my hand I expected a fight! I expected something. Goes to prove that last season's UCL win was a massive fluke like Rahman knocking out Lewis

Torres is still a wasteman notwithstanding! 1 fluke goal in 4 games don't see what difference he woulda made today

Chelsea had the chances just couldn't bury them in the end. Hazard,Mata are not natural goalscorers neither Oscar they created at least 4 clear chances today but at every turn they where hesitant to pull the trigger! Just lacked that killer instinct IMO

chamotex: Band boys don even tire to dey play for here again.

You say wetin?

Asuegbeeeeee!!!!!!

[quote author=Mynd_44]“The Clippers took it with their aggressiveness and their toughness, both mentally and physically.” – Coach Pop

Truth!!!!!!!!![/quote]And Billups isn't even back yet. I'd like to see how they handle OKC although I find that team really dangerous

Irving and Captain Jack out for at least a month potentially really bad news for the Cavs

4llerbuntu: the rate at which u repeat this tripe to console yourself is worrisome.

hey, Celtic that has not won a CL game in sepp blatter's lifetime beat Barcelona recently, does that mean the SPL is great?
u need a stiff bolt of paraga to clear your senses.

one can only mention bundesliga and SPL/ Jupiler liga in the same breath

Lol how did Celtic get to the 2nd round if they didn't win a CL game?
Comparing SPL to the Bundesliga is laughable and borderline ignorant if you consider the fact the Bundesliga is allowed 4 representatives in the UCL (Europe's premier competition) all the representatives are comfortably topping their groups
7 teams in Europe overall. You guys should take a hike and stop trolling men

azpekuliar: A third of the way through the season.

Ipukulu still groping in the dark, trying to close down his 50 point deficit!

@Lekkie, let's keep the newbie flag flying high man! Even at the lower rungs of the table, finish ahead of that Charmokazzy p0rn man week in week out!

@Lalaboi & Papi, what's happening to you both? Who are these strange fellows I see breaking into that top 5?

@rest of the chasing pack (i.e those still in with a chance), I rarely have back-to-back bad GWs!

Lol relax gee! Ur lead can be wiped out in a week. You've been consistent tho I would give you that


18pts on my bench this week. Last week it was 19. Smh

Looks like Tomlin would be forced to go with Batch anyway as it appears Leftwich has also injured his ribs

dayokanu: See wetin those useless nurnberg fans

https://i45.tinypic.com/209rp61.jpg

Let the relegation battlers have their laugh. Na we give them ammo nau

I don turn who dey score 30pts for GW iyaa o ki n se omi obe oh

debosky: Wrong - Arsenal is far more fluid: Walcott scored on Saturday from the center, so did Podolski. Santi crossed from the left for Giroud's goal, and scored his goal from the right. Against Fulham, Arteta crossed from the left for Podolski in the middle, against Schalke Walcott tapped in from the left after a scramble. Gervinho has played CF and wide right. I could go on and on. . . .
.

Haba Debosky! Why would you use where a player scores from to determine fluidity? That's just wrong! Besides Walcott,Gervinho,Podolski are essentially
different from Mata,Hazard,Oscar
Fluidity entails a lot of things like ball movement for example and not just interchanging positions

debosky: I agree with coogar - Chelski's midfield fluidity is a myth. OSZAMA all have a tendency to drift inwards and end up taking up similar positions either on the edge of the box or just inside it. You hardly ever see them wide pinging in crosses for example.

Who pinged the cross for Ramires's equalizer against Man U? Who is the target man in the box that Chelsea can ping crosses for? Is it Torres that can't evade markers or out-jump Aki and Paw Paw they would cross to?

Lol and smh at this thread. It was all good just a week ago

nateevs: I didn't. I am just drawing parallels with events leading up to a Chelsea big-money transfer.
Sheva and Torres both had problems with their scoring form in the few months preceding their big money transfer to Chelsea.
I hope Falcao's drought ends pretty soon.



Personally though, I hope we never buy him. The figures quoted are just too much a risk and it defies all logic that's been followed regarding Chelsea's new transfer policy. Plus there's no guarantee he will do well. I cannot spend the next 3 years of Dayo on these pages have a Falcao moment after each game.

The question is if he starts slowly would he be given time to bed in? I don't mean Torres time but significant time nonetheless.
I agree that the price might be too hefty but he justified it at Athletico who says he can't do it here? The guy is the total package. Takes freekicks,penalties and is not afraid to get physical exact opposite of Torres

Roland17: Honestly i feel worse than anyone here, Poor rebounding has made this season traumatic to say the least for me, we looked very tired against the pistons, shots were not falling in, rebounding the ball has been our problem and most athletic teams have taken advantage of this problem, we have been out-rebounded (Defensive and Offensive) even when we won games, weak side defense is worse.

Last season we were punished by Greg Monroe and Maxil and i was not surprised they did the same thing yesterday..

You people better start cheering for the Knicks! At the moment they look like the only team that can stop Miami in the East

Spurs vs Clippers should be live time to see how well they matchup after the Clips playoff sweep
