Well it beats nicking songs from Celtic.

Fields of Anfield Road/Athenry we nicked from them. You'll never walk alone they nicked from us. Dont think there are any others.

[Ian Royal]

Di Matteo just been sacked.

Unprecedented move!

Seriously!? Chelsea are madder than a bag of oxf*rd cats.

How can a club that's run so badly win anything!?!

Another way of looking at it...

Roman Abramovich is very clever. He is ruthless, no doubt about that, but do you think you can make the sort of money he has without being so? He see's when a current manager is losing it slightly and gets rid straight away, no 'giving time'. Is this such a bad policy?

Chelsea have had 8 managers given the boot under Abramovich, surely this is madness?

Well considering they have won; 3 league titles (runners up 4 times), 4 FA cups, 2 League cups and 1 European cup in the last 10 years.. This seems a fairly sensible approach!

Yeah that might be true if it wasn't for the fact that half of those 10 titles were won by one of the 8 managers.

Welcome back TMD it didnt take long

Which can only be bettered by United.

Next manager will be their tenth in eleven years?

Rafa to be announced as Chelsea manager this evening by the sounds of things.

[sandman]

Chelsea fan just interviewed on ITV said they would struggle to back Benitez if he was given the job.

Surely if they can get behind a serial adulterer who has been accused of racism as a captain then they can find a way to back Benitez.

[Victor Meldrew]

Feel sorry for RDM.

Paid the price of mismanagement from the higher echelons of the club. How can the 5th biggest club in Europe start the season with only two recognised strikers? Buck, Gourlay, Abramovich needs to re-assess their management of the club.

It's got to be Pep Guardiola now and he needs to be given time to build the squad he wants. With the change in style of play and personnel this season, it was always going to be a bit of a re-building season.

They're barely the 5th biggest club in England, never mind Europe.

You beat me to it Bowman-Lol@NFA believing that his club that has bought the European Cup once is the 5th biggest in Europe.
Forest fans might have something to say about that as well as other one-time winners such as Aston Villa and surely even Celtic are bigger.
They also are not even the biggest club in London.

I think,after what NFA has previously said about Rafa, it will be the Lol of the season if the Spaniard ends up there.
Also what a spineless performance last night,an embarrassment for English football and just goes to show what an outrageous fluke last year's European Cup win was but we should have known that already after Athletico Madrid had made them look 3rd division earlier this year.

[soggy biscuit]

Benitez gets the job!!!

[Victor Meldrew]

NFA,

IN RAFA WE TRUST.
Lol,a thousand and more times Lol.

[SPARTA]

He looks delighted.

[soggy biscuit]

I have actually spent the day defending Benitez. Don't think he is anywhere near as bad as people make out, signed some sh*t in his time but also signed some gr8 players and won trophies.

Never seen someone have so much hatred for a football manager as Kes has done for Rafa though. Looking forward to some epic backtracking from Kesmondo!

[Mr Optimist]

You could reasonably argue that they are the third biggest club in London to be fair although West Ham fans would disagree with you.

Chelsea have never been a big club. They're above average with a lot of money behind them, that's it. Take Roman away and they would have still been struggling to fill 35k seats. It wasn't all that long ago they were struggling to get 10k in the Bridge at the top level. At least the likes of West Ham get 30k plus crowds, and that's based largely on decent passionate support.

You conveniently forget the days when we used to get 50/60k at Bridge.

Will be at my 4th Chelsea game this season on Sunday. I suspect you haven't seen Liverpool as much this season?
