Chelsea F.C. II: Return of the Special One

[Jimbo]

How big's the reno job? Because we're able to stay put while we add 15k more.

The job would be pretty big, as it would probably involve building over the rail lines and re--doing the surrounds

Well worth the effort though as Haff said. We get to stay in our spiritual home, and remain Chelsea FC

Unless Mr Abramovich finally loses interest and sells up, as he was predicted to do five years ago...

 

[Haffa]

Only two goals. Could have been so many more.

Nice

They're not counting Bunnies though...

Geez Wenger is such a good sport and a great role model for all footfall fans especially the kids.

José seems quite comfortable sitting there in the back of Wenger's mind

The pressure is certainly starting to tell

 

[saint.nick]

What is it that you have against Wenger? Did his once upon a time 17 match unbeaten run against Chelsea hurt you really badly?

It goes back to his voyeuristic days when he used to have regular spats with Mourinho. As the stats show though, Mou has always had Wenger on a string

Now he's just a figure of amusement, like Gerrard

He said something unkind about Jose. You know how badly Chelsea fans take that kind of thing..

Once Jose displayed unhappiness at him and told the Chelsea fans what to think, well, the rest is predictable.

You Chelsea fans love holding a grudge, don't you.

It's up there with trying to undermine Rafa Benitez.

But look, Chelsea were a figure of amusement for 100 years, so we all get our turn I guess. I like watching them play this year.

 

[Mong]

Chelsea had fans pre Roman?

Benitez didn't need to be undermined

We won Europa despite him, not because of him

But look, Chelsea were a figure of amusement for 100 years, so we all get our turn I guess.

Well if you want to refer to Liverpool as a figure of amusement, I won't argue with you

I like watching them play this year.

So do I

 

[saint.nick]

You still tried to undermine him, and thus undermine the team. So you won the UCL because of RDM, but you won Europa despite Benitez? So you could have done it manager-less? Well if so, then why do we have managers in the first place

 

[Jimbo]

You still tried to undermine him, and thus undermine the team.

The team knew he was useless too, so criticising him would hardly have affected them

So you won the UCL because of RDM, but you won Europa despite Benitez? So you could have done it manager-less? Well if so, then why do we have managers in the first place

We won both comps with essentially the same squad, which was built around the core leadership spine of Terry and Lampard which Mourinho had established nearly ten years prior

RDM was smart enough to understand it, AVB and FSW were not

 

[saint.nick]

:lol: Is that why RDM was sacked too?

So you won the UCL as a result of RDM understanding the core leadership, but you won the Europa as a result of RB not understanding it? FMD.

 

[Jimbo]

:lol: Is that why RDM was sacked too?

RDM was sacked because you can't rely on team spirit indefinitely

So you won the UCL as a result of RDM understanding the core leadership, but you won the Europa as a result of RB not understanding it? FMD.

No nick

I said we won Europa despite FSW not understanding it

 

[saint.nick]

That's hogwash. Rafa Benitez is a great manager, you just refuse to accept it.

:lol:

Okay...

 

[saint.nick]

2 La Ligas (with Valencia)
1 Champions League
1 FA Cup
1 Europa League

And he defeated Mourinho in a UCL semi with a far inferior team, including that laughing stock Gerrard. That ball went over the line.
