You can imagine how ecstatic I am . .
We could go 6pts tomorrow. . . Come on you blues!


After losing their 5th game of the season, Utd are in meltdown. .Ronaldo leaves. .  Tevez on fire for City. . Scummies saying he was neva good.
Now they crumble 0-3 to Fulham.

So much for Chac saying after Villa, Utd have a ride till February. They are going to lose 9 games this season. 4 more against Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal and City. .

And they want to win the PL

debosky:
I can imagine it now. . . .

If [/b]Utd fails to send Rio, Evans and co to TB Joshua, then  Utd will NOT win the EPL.  

^^ clause                                                                                   ^^ conditional statement

You are wrong debo. . .  
[b]IF you read my post well, you will see I didn't use a clause. .  

debosky:
I can't wait to hear the type of story Sharon will use to justify this shocking defeat.  

I can't wait to hear what Criz will argue about today. .

Honestly people may start to think you are probably a newbie if you don't say. .

How market?

goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll

Is this line-up you call a weaker team

Chelsea line-up against BB

40 Henrique Hilario
35 Juliano Belletti
19 Paulo Ferreira
2 Branislav Ivanovic
10 Joe Cole
15 Florent Malouda
13 Michael Ballack
20 Deco
18 Yuri Zhirkov
12 John Mikel Obi
21 Salomon Kalou

But the key word the Lady used was "weaker". . .

Drogba, Anelka, Terry, Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Cech. . . 7 starters absent. So i guess she's allowed to use the word "weaker" which is right.

I however trust that you'll be back here trying to argue that regardless, the 11 we played was strong. . . yet on another day you will be here saying the whole Chelsea squad is rubbish. .

Different arguments for different days.

BlueDiva:
The 'better team' has lost twice to us this season.
Kindly review your statement.

eyoniggar:
It still doesn't matter, and it does not decide the league winner yet.
Besides MANURE are still competing in four competitions( EPL,CL,FA,MILk-CUP) Whereas the Chavs are out of the Carl Cup, I think that tells it all.

They start by typing rubbish . .
You give them the answer . .
They relate it back to the league. . .


Na you talk say Utd better . .
The lady talk say we don beat you twice. .
And now you are talking about the league. . .

What has that got to do with the fact that we've beaten you twice already this season?

@Edoyad. . .

Sebi I said it will be off limits soon . . .  
Now anyone looking through my posts for the first time in the future will see me as having written something like . .

nateevs:
lurv machine. . Lover Machine! . . I also saw your earlier comments on manliness Harry and P*ussycats .

What the hell do you think they are going to think of me? . .  
The robots are programmed to make no sense. .

Actually I had to try five different ways to get to write what I just did. . .
This one will be off-limits soon. .  

I can imagine what pain it is for those who must use those words to make a point. .

While these fellas are arguing away I am laughing at the agony of seeing intended vocabulary change face like UK weather. . . 

@Edoyad I am feeling you . .

D.ildo. . Lover Machine! . . I also saw your earlier comments on D_ick Harry and P*ussycats .


Absolutely Hilarious . .

debosky:
1-1 at the Dragao

3-0 to the Arsenal at the Emiraati.

£20 bet?

£20. . . Broke Gayner. . . . .  

debosky:
Start preparing to face the EPL and FA Cup and forget the CL.

JM had the measure of Ancelotti in Italy and I'm sure it'll remain the same in this fixture.

Eto'o to show DD the difference between 'almost' wining the CL and actually doing so.

I believe I remember beating Inter early this season. . Oh no it wasn't JM's Inter. .

You better go and face Porto. . your defenceless team can't do shit against them. .
You better face the next Emirates Cup because you are out of the FACup(though you will like to think otherwise) which happened to be your only chance for silverware this season.

Is it a difficult match? Yes . .
Are they beatable. . . Absolutely. . Over two legs sef. .

debosky:
Qualified for the CL knock-out stages and compounded Liverpool's misery and battled out a draw where the champions got mugged.

While you struggled to draw with a team we annihilated 4-1 in their backyard and requiring a wuruwuru penalty to beat the worst team in the division.

I think I remember that in that time you have drawn with Sunderland, lost woefully to Chelsea and drawn Burnley. .
and as far as I am concerned, you have to lost to Aston Villa.

£25m . . . ha ha . . . you are having a laugh . .

He is average at best. . . he was supposed to set the world on fire since he was born . . I am still waiting for it.
Squad player at best. . . I can do with his tenacity and strength being German . . (Still love to bully Arsenal) . . but £25m? . . . for an attacking midfielder with 21 goals in eight years. . . he should go to Spurs . .  

And No Ribery please.

@Jalether. .


Abeg no let these members of underachievers vex you. .
It's not worth it. .

What have they done since RVP went on vacation?  

Ibime:
Kalou is a decent squad player. At least he guarantees 10 goals off the bench every season. Remember he is carrying a knock from the Blackburn game.

I know Kalou's stats. . My worry is that he often gets them goals in games that don't really matter. .
His decision making is very poor . . and misses at the crucial moment.

@Debo. .

A few days ago I asked you to choose a player to be injured. . You chose Fabregas as the best player. . Or you didn't didn't? . .

Sorry can't remember. . I placed the curse anyway. .

Should have chosen Arshavin. .

Sometimes you make me eat my words. .
2 days ago I was saying Arsenal was back in the race. .

Now you have to ask questions. . . With Fab out for some games with a Hamstring and Christmas games approaching.


If you can't beat Burnley. . Forgerrit. . . 

To Self destruct is to Theo Walcott. . .

FBS:
You know not what you are talking typing.
I guess you were sleeping when the same back line kept successive clean sheets? Guess you were on holidays then, no?
Now suddenly our defenders lost their mojo? I asked you a simple question, who do you want to replace and you are here telling me about maradona. 
Do you expect to win and score against teams and not concede ALL the time? I for one will be more worried if we don't score goals cos that means you cannot win.
They are having a rough patch but defo they wil sort it out.

They did not play well in the second half agreed, but in the first half I don't think Portsmouth passed our midfield.
What does that tell you?
Uncle Carlo just need to talk to them guys. . .finito. We don't need to start panicking or buying defenders now.
DD was certainly a miss last night (especially in the second half). . .all the over-head long balls and those floating into the box. . .there was simply no one to convert them. I for one miss DD's knockdowns.
You could see Ashley Cole (I think he was one of the best players last night. . .forget about the ricochet off his chest) constantly looking into the box while with the ball and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know what was on his mind.
Kalouu? hmmmm, Like Nateevs said, we will need 2 pages here to discuss that guy. I'm trying to understand his problem. One moment he is brilliant, the next. . .you just wonder. Certainly if it's not physical then it is psychological.
Well said.

You gat that right bro!
We need to be more objective than emotional.
Nothing do the defenders. . We have the best personnel in that department in the PL. . if not the world now.
Things can't always go right. Time . . time - one thing that never is allowed at Chelsea - is all we have to wait on!

Kalou? . . I can't wait for January for DSanto to return . . though he's gained experience at Blackburn . . Alardyce's style of football could turn the fella in the wrong direction for too long.

In January, Anelka, DiSanto and Borini will lead the way. Kalou should not be allowed to come back from Africa. . 

chrisical:
Not one of our best performances this season but we got the three points we crucially needed.I just think there is an element of bad luck in the goals we have conceeded lately.
Everton's 1st goal-Ball cannones off the post,hits the back of Cech and goals in.
Everton's 3rdgoal-Drogba's attempted headed clearance ricochetes off the head of Saha with his back to goal and loops over cech,straight into the net
Portsmouth's goal-Freekick hits the chelsea wall and Ashley Cole then into the path of Piqquione who rammed home.

Spot on!

Of Late?

Has there ever been a time Kalou was consistent. . ?
If Borini, or Disanto have all the opportunities Kalou has been handed, they will be world class by now. .

Kalou has been promising since he came. . He's like Nani. . Ship out!

@BlueDiva. .

BlueDiva:
Joe is still not fully fit.
I don't think he has outlived his usefulness yet.

Come good by playing in the reserves?
We hardly give our young ones opportunity to build their confidence.

What stops us fro using them at competitions like the CC?
That's what i like about Wenger. Ready to field 11 kids.

Little wonder DS ain't doing well at Blackburn, even Sturridge trembles in front of goal.
We need another striker. If Drog and Anelka injures, we're in serious problem.

Many mistake we Chelsea fans make. . .
If we keep calling for the head of a manger every time they go through a bad spell, that's what you get.

You cannot expect Carllotti to do a Wenger when he is only 6 months old at the club. .

He needs to establish a winning mentality. . and that mentality can only be established with time. That mentality then becomes a culture, which trickles down to the reserves all the way to the academy. At this point the young ones know exactly what is demanded of them when they feature in a CC game.

But with this hire and fire rubbish we do, which manager will put his faith in youngsters . . ? Knowing fully well the number of managers that have vacated the seat before him. .

When we drew with Everton, Ibime said Ancellotti = Scolari. . If we drew today, some Chelsea fans will start to ask for the axe. . and we want youngsters to feature. .

If Carllotti wins the PL and CL this season for example, he would have bought the right to try tricks and experiments. . but before then, every new manager wants to win a trophy in their new club no matter how small. . and to do that they will never use their young players except they don't have a choice.




On the other point, I tell you . . . I know our best 11 young players . . . they will get thrashed by Coventry in the first game. . what then will be the point? They don't have another game to prove what they are made of. .

If you however use 4 or 5 young players with 6 senior team players . . the experience of the senior team will help us win CC games and progress to the next round. . thereby having another day for those 4 or 5 youngsters to gain more experience . .

jalether:
Bottomline is buying a world class midfielder and winger in this over populated market is extremely costly. Kakuta should do the job

perfectly on top of the diamond (100% sure of that, when I see a raw talent rearing to go, I know) why waste money when you have

a talent on the bench and as far as joe cole goes, Blue diva has already answered the question.

What are you talking about? What do you mean by costly. . ? £20, £25m . . That's costly. . ?

Look bro you can't tell me anything about Kakuta that I don't know already. He is a bright footballer and he deserves a chance. . but you can't make him your main top of the diamond player. . He's 17 going on 18 . . . . It's insane.

So if you fork out £20m to buy Gourcuff or Eden Hazard, you think it's a waste of money. Even Wenger that has an array of young talents still bought Arshavin for good money in January . .


You cannot be 100% sure about anything. Kakuta may flop when under pressure. . If Carllotti gave chances to Kaka and Pato . . . and he confirms Kakuta is the best young player we have, why do you think he won't have his chance. .?

We want to win the league and the CL this season not the next . . and to rely on Kakuta to bring that is bordering on insane Arsenal-like ambitions. . . You will never win anything.

Like Fergie does, give the kid a chance at the right time. . but never put pressure on a kid to deliver the goods on the big stage for an extended period of time. . You could kill the kid.

If we have to kill to win this game . . we do.
We cannot afford not to take all 3 pts.


Ballack and Carvalho I believe will be dropped for Malouda and Alex. . .If Alex is fit.
Which means Lampard will play on the right of the diamond and Malouda on the left. . Joe at the top.


If we are comfortable at 60mins. . Kakuta or Borini may feature. .

Carllotti on Drogba's situation. .

"We have to control his condition and will take a decision. I think that he can play."

jalether:
No matter what I still maintain my stance, there is no need to make desperate signings. how quickly opinion changes, Are you not the same guy

encouraging chavs that there is no course for alarm as the transfer ban may/will give our young players the opportunity to flourish , make up your mind Nateevs

You may want to fetch out the posts where I said it is useless to buy players.
I am very much in support of youth football. . but I will not misplace my priorities. For a team competing in all competitions every year, we need proven players in crucial positions. We all complain about Petr Cech lately, even you, Jalether, want him dropped. So you want to see Sam Walker, Delac or Rhys Taylor against Messi in the Semi final of the CL because Cech suddenly lost form, NO!. . I don't.

While I am a big fan of giving youngsters opportunities, throwing them in the deep end sometimes could truncate what could have been progressive development.

I am not asking us to go out and buy a dozen players. To be honest we would be fine with three players.
We need a player to play the top of the diamond. A fast moving midfielder that can weave through players, with great vision and able to deliver that killer pass when needed most. Deco is finished and I have given up on Joe Cole. Can Kakuta do the job? perhaps. . but it's not wise to rely on him to carry the mantle of the diamond. . . An established player in the position will not only make the team stronger but Kakuta wil learn him.

We need a right sided midfielder like Ibime said. . but I don't agree we need a DM. . Mikel, Essien and Matic. Ballack is done after this season.

The third one is where I am not decided. A striker. I agree like Ibime said that Drogba and Anelka are good for about two years and one can argue that in that time at least one of DiSanto, Sturridge and Borini would have come good. Before then however, Drogba may sustain an injury and there goes our 20 goals a season striker. If that doesn't happen buying another striker will be an overkill with the flurry of strikers we have and that could cause unhappiness.

Defenders! . . We are covered for at least 8 years.


We need to buy this January, at least two mid-fielders.

YOUTH FOOTBALL.

Youth FACup kicked off today with Chelsea taking on Charlton. I didn't get a chance to watch the match from the beginning just saw about 20mins to the end and we just beat Charlton 2-1 . .

Scary moment at the end with Charlton finding inspiration in the dying seconds and were rewarded with a goal . .but goals from Jefferey Bruma in the first half and Marko Mitrovic in the second were enough to put Chelsea through to the 4th round where they take on Nottingham Forest.

Starting line-up was:

Walker, B.Clifford, Mills, Bruma, Deen-Conteh, C.Clifford, Sala, McEachran, Lalkovic, Tore, Mitrovic

jalether:
Why do we [b]need [/b]to buy in January, I get it Anelka,Kalkuta,Ballack,Lamps,Deco are all incompetent to do the job ,

As a Chelsea fan I expect you know more about the inside of the club than all these rats on here. .
Why do we need to buy. . ? Because we facing a transfer ban that's why.

Why do you think we appealed the ban . . Just for the desire of seeing the ban lifted temporary?

We appealed so CAS could lift the ban for this period. . . which allows us to enter the market in January. We are facing a ban and it doesn't look good. We can't escape at least one summer and winter transfer ban. . considerately speaking.

If we are unlucky, we will be banned for two summer transfer windows. So if don't buy now, we would have shot ourselves in the foot by extending our ban by a year. Why would we do that? Not being able to bring anyone in till January 2012.

Do you really see that as a good thing? With Drogba 31, Anelka 30, Deco 31, Lampard 31, Ballack 32, Malouda 29, Carvalho 32, Ashley 29. .

And you ask why we should buy. . . Do you not see imminent disaster if we don't?


I don't believe the story. . . only of course if someone at the club has lost touch with reality.
