I just read his statements in Soccernet and Skysports respectively and i sincerely see nothing wrong with it. He's not asking for another contract, he's just being sincere. Who wants to be in a club without ambition and he's 29, he'd like to play in Spain or Italy in 2 years or so, i see nothing wrong with that.

I think he does not have a perfect understanding of the English media and he would do well to get a PR/agent to make this statements for him, so they'll come out in a friendlier way.

What the hell are you talking about? Stop deflecting issues.

Man now you've changed to political maneuvers right?

Messy is a CHEAT!!!

How come there are only premiership midfielders there?

Frank Lampard should be on that list, look at his goal tally and passes in Chelsea, you must be bringing in british sentiments here.

Anyway my midfielder of the year is Kaka, Would have chosen Essien but with due respect he did not play much of the midfield this season so he goes for my best right back.

RuuDie:
L. Messi ain't Christiano, Drogba; he don't clown, he ain't down 4 theatrics. he just plays the game & gives all he got --- i've watched the video; he went for the ball with his head, missed but the ball hit his hand !

Man take it or leave it Messi dives is a CHEAT. He has played with us for 3 seasons of CL and we know him and his other players very well. The only person that does not go to ground so easily in that team (when playing against us) is Ronaldinho. Mess"y" is no different from Ronaldo and Drogba. They all dive, though Ronaldo would get the award as the best.

And as for the handball, like i said earlier, you are a good lawyer, a blind one, but a good one nonetheless. Chelsea should hire you as PR for Drogba and Robben.

DOWN WITH THE EVIL TYRANNY OF NOU CAMP!!!

justkunmi:
Drogba wants to leave because he feels his place is threatened because of pizarro's arrival. He has now realised that his luck wit shevvy's arrival mite not work again this time, Smart chap, lol

How would he be scared of bench warming pizarro that has never done 20 goals in the league. Do you know what you're sayin? If you were asked to choose between them who would you go for?

Back at discussion. Management should ignore Drogba antics. A compromise should be reached for JT, and perhaps Lampard. Robben can fly abroad if he refuses what has been given.

Players and greed, i'm just tired. JT, Lamps, Robben, now Drogba.

As for Drogba, he should sit his ass down, he's going nowhere, not even for 40 million pounds. He MUST respect his new 5 year contract.

Its ok, no need for agression.

We are peace makers in the west london. We dont want war, I was simply making a statement of fact. Simple

We don want to know jack about Barca's Evil Tryanny

Down with EVIL! DOWN WITH BARCA!!!

May it be unto them like north london and meyerside

* The last line is seriously inviting confrontation, i hope my blue brothers got my back *

Do you or dont you post there? Did we or did we not win you in full time?

Stop turning this into politics. we met thrice, two draws, one win capiche?

Dont worry i'm leaving.

* Gently walks out to avoid being stoned *

Lets not go on and on

Messi dubiously got a goal to his tally - CHEAT!!!

Case closed, i humbly wait for Barca to loose the title and come out with nothing this season, like our friends at the meyerside and north london.

Yeh keep telling your self that everyday. Guess it makes ya'll feel beta.

Suddenly even loyika cant ever remember his posts at chelsea threads.

@loyika
I did read your post. First you talk of draw last season and i reminded we played thrice which you now changed gear to talk of display. So which one are you on results or display.

@tope
Please dont ignore the goal, kindly tell us if it was a pure accident or a dubious goal by that messy cheat that wants to score by all means.

purely accidental?
Boy you are good! Are you a lawyer? You would succeed!!!

No we're not. Its quite a comic relief

Are we talking about results or display?

It seems you forget we played thrice last season

What do you guys know about the ownership of your club? You think you know but you dont know. Keep on believing it when Arsene takes a swipe at non-English owned clubs.

@ruudie

I've got to hand it to you man, you sure could get an award for going off point
Rizkaard meeting a ref in his room at half time is illegal, JM handing drink partners wine is a friendly gesture. Dont mean nothing.

I know what you're trying to drive at. We all know the Sir and his Cabinet, but we also know JM and his cabinet. Lets not go there, stick to the evil in nou camp.

loyika:
@ Razorr

Even if the Arsenal players wore "Gorilla suits", as long as they beat your team on the pitch, i couldn't care less.

* Arsenal fan desperately praying for a miracle*

WHO ELSE IS COMING THIS SEASON, I HEARD ABRAMOVICH WANTS SEVILLA'S KERZAKOV AGAIN!
This man needs to allow the coach choose and play his own players!

Well its his billions he's spending so who are we to object? JM has been wonderful through his reign but he wont even be here if it was not for Roman and least we forget he's the highest paid manager in the world. Roman wants to buy let him, but Mr Buck should make sure it does not increase our losses - thats if the Billionaire cares.

Rubbish, Barca are cheats, pure and simple. And as a Chelsea fan i would love nothing more than seeing them go trophyless this season. They're pathetic. The media jumps at the chance to call Ronaldo and Drogba cheats when they dive but they turn a blind eye to the swimming medalist at the nou camp whose manager by the way is allowed to have drinks with refs at CL half time.

Down with Evil!!!

This is just plain hilarious and i cant stop laughing. This is certainly the undisputed joke of the month

I hope when he becomes older he'll wisely choose a better club to support

FIFA and UEFA claimed so when giving the chance to do the picking. Mathemetical Statistics also proves it. Do you have any proof to back up your claims? Please show here

I'm off to bed for now, though i fear some of us are awake yet wide asleep in certain matters.

Sweet dreams ya'll

i have given you guys a lot of lists and explained them, even those that other teams were ahead of Chelsea. I asked for simple sincerity and it seems sentiments judged the responses. Most ppl could not bear to bring up the premiership list because it would be impossible to hide certain facts. Those that brought it up showed gross biased and questionable reasoning.

Now about the Champions league list - some people even brought teams that were not in the champions league just to make sure certain truths remain hidden. This is purely laughable.

If you do not have standards why do i bother to continue with you?

I want to see your reasons for your list. Is that too hard to ask? Or did you make the list out of sentiments and forgot i asked for performance?

Does the word bias come into play here? No? I didnt think so

Uche2nna:
For this season,

AC Milan
Liverpool
Manchester United
Inter Milan
Chelsea

Is this Champions league or Premiership? Why is Inter even in the list? Why is ManU above Chelsea?

Now i just came across a mathematicall statistics that CLEARLY PLACES LAMPARD HIGH ABOVE GERRARD IN UK.

Also, Frank Lampard is fabulous. The common view is that Steven Gerrard is better than Lampard. Well, we cannot pass comment on basic skills. We are ranking the contributions made by players this season, not ranking abstract talent. Perhaps Liverpool do not let him breathe. Or something. But Fink Tank is absolutely clear that the free-scoring, great-passing Lampard is a towering figure. And Gerrard? He came 80th.

THE TOP 10

KEY: Player, club, position, pitch time, time-adjusted points

1 C Ronaldo Manchester United Midfield 85.12% 19.12

Voted player of the year by his fellow professionals and by football writers, the 22-year-old Portugal winger is our man of the season as well

2 F Lampard Chelsea M 97.31% 16.24

An ordinary season for Lampard? The statistics say otherwise

3 Gilberto Arsenal M 88.14% 16.01 P

Ten league goals was a remarkable return for the midfield man

4 Cech Chelsea G 50.15% 14.41

Chelsea missed their ’keeper desperately when he was injured

5 J Lehmann Arsenal G 97.30% 13.94

He may be 37 but the German is still among the league’s elite

6 P Scholes Man Utd M 79.10% 13.50

Enjoyed spectacular return to form after last season’s eye injury

7 T Howard Everton G 94.59% 12.96

Failed to make the grade at Old Trafford but a Goodison star

8 N Vidic Man Utd D 66.11% 10.48

The centre back was rock-solid in his first full season in England

9 B McCarthy Blackburn F 88.98% 9.91

Eighteen goals in 36 starts proves McCarthy is a lethal predator

10 A Hleb Arsenal M 68.14% 9.87

Not as flashy as some of his teammates, but highly effective

Concerning the forbes list for 2006 i gave earlier it was for VALUE and supports my theory concerning arsenal's stadium

Arsenal rose the most in value during the past year because prior to the 2006-07 season the team will move into a $700 million stadium that could increase its annual revenue by as much as $60 million.

Below is the methodology they used overall

Revenue and operating incomes are for the 2004-05 season and are converted into U.S. dollars based on June 30, 2005 exchange rates. Forbes' estimates of enterprise values (market value plus debt) are based on past transactions and current stadium deals (unless a new stadium is pending).

Operating income is comprised of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Debt values include stadium debt.

Sources: Deloitte & Touche; company documents; Forbes

@Debosky
We have recorded an improving and increasing revenue, in 04 we got only 133.8m euros as income, at 2009 mgt predict we would make our first profit which is earlier than their 2010 evaluation.


1. AC Milan
2. Liverpool FC
3. Sevilla FC
4. Espanyol FC
5. Manchester United

How come Sevilla, Espanyol and Manchester makes the list and Chelsea does not? Isn't the CL a better competition than the Uefa cup. If Spurs had won and bolton came in second place would you have come out with the same list. How come manchester is even there seeing there lost 3-0 in full game time and we only went out on penalties?

I'm not saying your list is WRONG. I just want you to explain how you arrived there.

@Uche
can i have your list or does Deborsky think for you?
