AlanSkÃrare Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Can Chelsea really be regarded as a great club? Players speak of it as a club with rich history and one of the traditional "big boys". Have they ever been all that before Roman? One league title?

Dokko Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Chelsea fans think our players are twats? To be fair they have a very unique view on every thing in football. Like we're a disgrace to boo Ba for simply getting a transfer to a bigger club but it's a good thing they abuse Benitez every home game despite him having them 3rd in the league, clap at the 16 minute mark for a manager who left long ago, hate their billionaire owner who made them who they are now and it's Anton Ferdinand's fault that John Terry is now considered a racist. Should post that on their forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Did the actually like Di Matteo when he was in charge, or just because he won the CL? Well he was an ex-player so he was liked a little bit more than most managers are.... Tbf to them though Di Matteo should have never been sacked. I thought he should never have been given the job permanently. They just had to because he won the CL. Same because he was never going to be the long term answer but since he did get it permanently he should never have been sacked for Benitez as they have been going down hill ever since.

Scotty66 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 "Then, later on, Mata is fouled outside the box, he rides the challenge, stumbles and sends over a poor cross. Webb should have brought it back for the foul but didn't." Wait,so because Mata can't cross the ball properly Webb should of given him another opportunity? Very mackem-esque bitterness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 We were the better side over the 90 minutes and deserved to win. But if they are so focused on the referees performance I wonder what they think of Ramires two footed challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Its quite obvious how we get him so cheap tbh. He wanted to come, his contract is up in the summer, the Toulouse owner had fell out with him and thus suspended him for playing and if we didn't buy him we was going to get him on a pre-contract for the summer. Toulouse really had no choice but to sell him for a minimal fee and really shot themselves in the foot with how they acted tbh. Even so though, despite the fact everything aligned in our favor its still a ridiculous fee for a player of his ability. There should have been bigger clubs looking at him and there'd have been a bit of a bidding war last month. Ridiculous how he was that cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very mackem-esque bitterness Well I believe if his description is accurate (I can't recall the incident) then he's right - the cross may've been influenced by the tackle, they didn't get an advantage from the 'advantage' so should be brought back. Clutching at straws though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are a laughing stock with this DiMatteo obsession, it's on a whole other level to us with KK and not as warranted in the slightest.

I'd say a cup run is not much of a basis to judge a manager, especially when it wasn't even all the cup! How many games did they involve, considering AVB had taken them much of the way? And Benitez is a way more accomplished manager than DiMatteo. Edit: 4 games in the FA cup and 4 ties in the CL, culminating in a penalty shoot out. Meanwhile taking them to 6th in the league. He was hired in March and a worse run than AVB, I think hiring him was silly (a la Roeder). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 From the banner in the away fans on Saturday it looks like the Glasgow Rangers/Chelsea love in continues. How sad. I've got nothing against either club, in fact I've always had a soft spot for Rangers, but I find this rather strange liason quite pathetic. Aye me too, there were tons of Chelsea 'fans' around town with Jock accents. Gloryhunting bastards. Always surprises me how few Scottish fans we have given our relative proximity to Scotland.

I'd probably disagree with that, I think we have a lot of Scottish fans. Many from the borders but always see NUFC tops in Glasgow, Edinburgh and especially Aberdeen too.

I don't think we are going to agree and i don't really quite understand why you would suggest Chelsea fans are a laughing stock because they are aggrieved with Di Matteo's sacking. But like it or not Di Matteo, yeah he did have a shit CV pre-Chelsea, but as an interim manager he impressively got them 2 major trophies and that coupled with being a legend there as a player, it's going to instill some loyalty from the fans. He deserved to have been given more time from Roman, that is what annoys them. It doesn't even remotely compare with Roeder tbh. They probably have more right to be 'obsessed' with him in your words than Keegan is with us fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with their opposition to his sacking, but I think this continued berating of Benitez and martyrdom of Di Matteo, this clapping thing does make them a laughing stock. I would say it was stupid with anyone, it would be if we'd done it with Keegan - and I'm saying we, the famously obsessed messiah-complex fans never were that daft with Keegan. But at least our KK love is based on more than 2 months of good performance in cups (while having worst league finish). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
