Hear are some few  information's on the bike, It runs on mixture of electricity and wind, the only petroleum product on the bike is grease and when in motion it could get up to 160 kilometers per hour, though am working on increasing the speed.
How can you achieve 160km/h with that small tyre? Liar!

The torque needed to generate 160km/h will break the axle.

Besides, you cannot generate enough alternative energy to make those small tyres run at 160km/h. Not even Harley Davidson can do that.

And why does the front tyre have no grip? Must be a toy.

Go and sell your tall tale elsewhere.

Luiz Felipe Scolari believes the failure to sign Robinho last summer was key to his failure to rejuvenate Chelsea's "old" squad.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=617684&sec=england&cc=5901
Scolari needs to STFU! This is the most laughable excuse ever. How can a manager's failure be down to just one transfer signing.

As he said "I needed Deco and Robinho to rejuvenate Chelseas old squad"

Is Deco not old himself?

The idiot did not even assess our squad before he came. Just left us with another old central midfielder that we don't need.

So Robinho is the only reason he failed? How can Robinho alone rejuvenate Chelsea? Is Robinho himself a consistent player that you build a team around and expect him to deliver 50 games a season? If Robinho was out of our price-range, does he not know at least another 5 players that could take his place or at least take 2 or 3 places from our old squad?

Did he not know Malouda was shite? Why keep him on to contest the league season? He knew Drogba was a problem, yet after their initial wahala, he lacked the balls to sell him. He knew Makelele was our only decent DM, yet he sold him, thinking Essien would be an adequate replacement. Does he not know Essien's qualities? He didn't know his squad and he didn't know the league.

Absolutely ZERO knowledge of transfer market, just rehashing the same old transfer targets that hes worked with in the past. ZERO tactics, ZERO physical conditioning, ZERO motivation. He was inept and had to go!

Is he also going to take responsibility for signing Bosingwa?

Nateevs,
If I say the person I want back we would start a new 6 page argument wink
Anyway I think whoever comes should have Clarke as an assistant. And for the record I do not want AG back.
My friend shaarrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap! JM can no more return to Chelsea than Ronald Reagan can regain the Presidency. JM is a tactical and psychological genius, but his short-termist transfer policy cannot be absolved of any blame in this sorry saga. JM bought players that only he can coach. Any lesser coach than JM will always fail with these players. They are just not technically good enough. I was alarmed at JM's signings knowing that if he leaves, no other manager can coach these kind of players. Contrast that with Sir Alex or even Rijkaard. It doesn't matter whether they leave tomorrow, the players they leave behind are of such technical quality that any manager can pick up the pieces and keep winning.

Just as typed this, you confirmed my point with this statement:

somze:
Nateevs,
I agree we had fundamentalist problems and only a strong manager can deal with them. The truth is only an established manager or JM himself can do that.

If JM returns, he can bench or sell out whoever he wants and no player will dare question him. I can not guarantee the same for Zola and Clarke.

I think most old players would leave at the end of the season, except Lampard and Terry, so it may not be as much of a problem.
Most of these so-called old players (problems) are a direct product of JM. Nateevs is also talking about the much-lauded 'untouchables' policy which is now causing serious problems for us.

So we really want Avram Grant? . . . . I can't believe the same people who wanted Grant out despite getting to the CL final want him again. . . .

Ridiculous! . . .as ridiculous as firing managers.
I always supported Avram. I was alone in that respect. I copped a lot of stick on this thread for supporting Avram. Infact, I have always supported EVERY Chelsea manager. It is only after they get sacked that I stick the knife into em. grin

The only issue with Avram is that he did not have the profile to keep certain players on the bench. Our reserve team did not lose a game for three months, but as soon as everyone was fit for the Carling Cup, he benched the reserve players and we duly lost the match. You never change a winning team.

Quote from FBS:

"Supporters were dismayed in December by claims that senior players had questioned Scolari’s substitutions in matches against West Ham and Arsenal. It was also alleged that John Terry and Frank Lampard had confronted the manager to ask for the intensity of training to be stepped up in a bid to return to the high-tempo football of the Jose Mourinho era. Some players privately grumbled about wanting a return to Jose Mourinho's rigid 4-4-2 system and moaned about the manager turning up late for training. The lack of respect ran both ways: Scolari simply didn’t seem bothered after a humiliating 3-0 reverse at Manchester United recently and his players echoed that with their resigned body language at Liverpool and against Hull in the games which sealed his fate.

4) He got his tactics wrong
Scolari’s firm belief in the lone striker – either in a 4-5-1 or a 4-3-3 formation – meant Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka never got an extended run together. Moves from man-to-man to zonal marking and the late addition of Ricardo Quaresma were too-little-too-late acknowledgments of Chelsea’s killer flaws at set pieces and out wid"



This journalist knows nothing about football. JM also prefers the lone-striker system and HATES 4-4-2



Just heard Stan Collymore on TalkSport say that his Chelsea mates are telling him that Chelsea are interested in Zola and Clarke.

@Dayo

I am not saying we should stick with the bad. . . I am only saying with a little tweaking here and there we could make bad turn good. . . .
Fans are not stupid. They know when a manager is doing well, but is just unlucky. In that situation, they would be patient. However, it was obvious to all that Scolari was tactically INCOMPETENT! His substitutions were frankly baffling. His defence organisation was a shambles, and his attitude was defeatist. Can you imagine a manager turning up late for training? A manager smiling after a defeat? A manager whose physical-fitness preparation is still stuck in the 1990's?

Only an incompetent manager would play Deco and Moutinho in the same midfield. A wise man once said that every midfield should have a spoiler, a runner and a passer. Deco and Moutinho are the same thing. Just pointless passes everywhere, with no one running beyond. Thats why their midfield was overpowered at the Euro's. Thats why Scolari is a relic of the 1990's.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 8:03pm On Feb 09, 2009
Scolari's problem is that his approach to football is too leisurely. That may work for players like Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, but Chelsea have nowhere near that kind of talent. This current teams success is based on hard running and grigidi football. If RA wanted a manager like Scolari, he should have been ready to overhaul the squad.

I will say it again: We are missing Makelele.

Makelele's passes spring quick attacks unlike Mikel who takes the urgency out of the team with his 'give I give' style of passing.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 8:00pm On Feb 09, 2009
RA better be able to back this latest move with some serious cash. The squad is obviously not strong enough.

My friend stop being lily-livered. Fear of the future does not impede us from living in the present.

Any of the following managers would do a better job than Scolari straight away:


Steve Clarke
Zola
AG
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 7:36pm On Feb 09, 2009
Nateevs, we can talk about stability from now till eternity, but the truth is, if the manager is just not right for the job, he's just not right.

All Chelsea fans loved Scolari when he was appointed (except Somze). The fans were ALWAYS on his side. It was only through clueless tactics and substitutions that they turned against him.

It is better to stop the rot now and start again with a good manager with a good knowledge of the transfer market, strong physical preparation, and good tactics.

In the short term, we need someone to steady the ship. One man has proved that he has the required attributes for this. He did it last season, despite missing his full first team for a 2-month period. The man is a tactical genius. His name is Avram Grant!!!

Summer time, we talk about Hiddink etc

@Ibime,

Let's say Scolari won't have made above 4th. . . . I want to ask you a question, who will we bring in now? and what makes you feel so confident that guy will finish above 4th?
In times like this, you need a manager to steady the ship, someone who knows Chelsea and the way we play and knows the Premiership, not some foreigner with fancy new ideas and a bad grasp of English. The most obvious choice in the short term is Avram Grant. Beyond that, you are looking at Zola and Clarkey. I am not even sure about Guus Hiddink. I believe he may have same problem as Scolari. He simply does not know how to coach defensive-minded players. But he may be worth a shot.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 6:02pm On Feb 09, 2009
BTW, I hope you guys remember that CL format has changed.

The 4th placed team from EPL now has to play the 4th place team from Spain or Italy.

Scolari would never have finished above 4th. 5th sef for hard am.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 5:58pm On Feb 09, 2009
BTW, this does not mean Chelsea is a joke.

There was a SERIOUS chance we would not qualify for CL. It is right for Chelsea to sack him.

I could just see 10 0-0 draws between now and the end of the season.

We want patience and consistency, but it has become obvious over the last month that Scolari is simply incompetent. He was not the right man to build for the future. Tactically and physical preparation-wise, he is still stuck in the 1990's. Besides, he is not very good in the transfer market. And his assistants look like pot-bellied moustached relics from the 1970's. Such assistants can never win the players respect.

My Portuguese friend told me that JM once said Scolari would never win anything with Portugal; and that he was lucky to win the World Cup; and that all his substitutions for Portugal used to hinder rather than help them. People thought JM was just player-hating, but everyone can see it now. Scolari is inept. Such a shame. Chelsea should have been the no 1 outpost for South-American footballers in Europe.

That is the part that interests me.

That is what you get when the foundation for succes is not there You just hope to BUY success.

Read up on the story of Sergio Cragnotti's Lazio. That is similar to the chelsea story.

Intel has it that Ladan Bosso, onigbinde, Haruna Ilerika and Steve McClaren are being lined up to take over!!!
Scolari only has a 2 year contract so his pay-off no go pass £5million.

So you studied Operational Research? That was one of me favourite subjects at undergrad but I never chased it further cos I was hooked on PDE's, otherwise that was my second favourite subject of interest. Game theory, Analytical decision making, Simplex Algorithm, methods of optimisation and all that. I actually met John Nash when he came to London to give a seminar. As my lecturer said, his mind is not so beautiful anymore. He was giving a talk on Game Theory and he suddenly switched and started solving some extra-terrestrial mathematics that was completely off-topic.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here by Ibime(m): 1:27am On Feb 09, 2009
Ray Wilkins is an idiot.

Scolari is an even bigger idiot.

How many times does he bring off a winger for Deco when we are chasing the game? Inevitably, after his substitutions, the game fizzles out and dies for lack of width. Deco has never been an impact substitute. He just slows the game down and continues with impotent sidepasses. You either start Deco or you don't bring him on at all. I am still waiting for his explanation for bringing off Quaresma on Saturday. Bringing off Quaresma for Drogba just intensified our problem, taking away any width we had. 


As Akola's link says:

"Ricardo Quaresma, brought in on loan from Internazionale to add width and creative flair, was fleetingly impressive, although his obvious preference for his right foot — even to the extent of awkwardly scooping in crosses with the outside of his boot — was baffling for a player deployed on the left.

Still, it took a stretching, fingertip save from Matt Duke to deny him a debut goal as he capitalised on Salomon Kalou’s rapid break. It was Quaresma, though, who was withdrawn after 64 minutes for Drogba, in the familiar switch to 4-4-2 that only seems to make Chelsea ;look more disjointed. It’s not just that he and Anelka show little sign of striking up an understanding; they barely seem to acknowledge they’re wearing the same colour shirt. "

@ FBS,

Which Rijkaard are you talking about? Is it the same Rijkaard that relegated Sparta Rotterdam?

I said it before and I'll say it again. Rijkaard was extremely lucky to have the best squad in the World by a country mile. Since I started watching football, the only team that comes close is the Milan squad of the early 90's. Look at what a relative novice like Guardiola is doing with the same squad (minus Ronaldinho) and then come back and tell me that Rijkaard is a qualified manager. I will take LFS over Rijkaard anyday. If you proffer Rijkaard's Champions League win as evidence of his competence, I can also proffer LFS' World Cup win as evidence of his competence. It is still a mystery as to how that Barca team failed to win anything in the last two years of Rijkaard's reign. Rijkaard is just lucky that Ronaldinho, Messi, Guily etc were at his disposal and all on form at the same time. He was also lucky to have Henk Ten-Cate to mould his squad into shape. As soon as Henk Ten-Cate left, the pressing game of the team dissapeared, the fitness dropped and the defence became immeasurably weaker. It is quite obvious that Ten-Cate was the brains behind that team, not Rijkaard. If Rijkaard can underperform with that squad, what will he do with Chelsea's squad? We will not even finish in top-half. lol. Rijkaard's teams are known for conceding two goals a game quite regularly. When Jose left Chelsea, teams were qeueing up to sign him. Who is qeueing up for Rijkaard? His next stop will be FC Twente. Abegi, make I hear word.
