March 5, 201214 yr Everyone seems to be blaming the players which I don't really understand, they haven't been great this season and you can see some of them haven't made the most of their talent, but it's hard when you have a stubborn manager who doesn't have a fucking clue what he's doing. He's made so many decisions that have been suicidal all season, recently dropping Ashley Cole, Lampard AND Michael Essien (Who might just be Chelsea's best player) against Napoli and going away to Italy with absolutely no focus on defence- when you have a total moron like David Luiz in defence, you better make sure you have a defensive midfielder to cover when Luiz decides to have a little wander up the pitch 20 times in a game. AVB is stubborn in the way that he'll make outrageous decisions in the hope they'll somehow work out so he'll look like this mysterious tactical genius, he's a pure egomaniac, but unlike his mentor Jose, he focuses on the little battles, not the way. He does certain players no justice when speaking out for them, look at how he dropped Frank Lampard at the start of the season (So keep in mind this is before Frank got vocal about his disapproval of AVB), Frank got on with it, accepted that he has to fight for his place like anyone else and it's the managers decision, very noble of him. Frank, when he does play, is like a new footballer after a disappointing end to last season, and comes back in one particular game to score a hat-trick. OK fair enough a hat-trick shouldn't completely change your mind of a player, but in AVBs interview after the match, does he mention Frank? No, he avoids it. Does he praise Frank when inevitably pressed for an opinion on his performance? No, he couldn't even do that. The reason being because he had regularly been leaving Frank out of the side, so when he comes back to score 3 goals and also an assist, in AVB's eyes that's proving his decision making wrong (Even though it doesn't necessarily, but that how he sees things). Frank may need to fight for a place like everyone else, but certainly if anyone else had scored a hat-trick it would be one of the first things he'd mention. Everything about his approach and decisions since coming to Chelsea has been wrong, he's always tried to stamp his authority as some of the first team players are as young as he is, but apart from a few idiots I think there's enough professionals at the club to do a job for the right manager, and I'm siding with the players here. You can say there's no excuse for a lack of commitment, but like in any situation, it gets to a point where you can no longer motivate yourself to be at your best when you are being managed by a stubborn arsehole. Wow didn't quite intend to go off on one when I started writing that. Well put. He doesn't seem to have much of a clue what he's doing by the looks of it, and he'l makes strange switches just to prove that he's 'doing something'. I won't pretend that I've watched much of them this year, but I was flabbergasted that Lampard was left out against Napoli. Not to apologize for my previous post. Drogba is a shadow of what he was a few years ago, and Luiz can't defend worth a shit, but AVB had plenty of games from late last season to draw upon in figuring that out, yet he still just seems like a confused child.
March 5, 201214 yr I'm ashamed by my team (Chelsea). The players are a bunch of arrogant, overpaid and underperforming morons. I am proud my team is Manchester City as its owner does not interfere with team affairs.
March 6, 201214 yr Did anyone see the documentary "QPR: The Four Year Plan" shown last night on BBC2? Or anyone outside the UK, I'd recommend looking for it, it's a really deep insight into how insanely self-absorbed and purely childish the billionaires who run football clubs can be. It's hilariously facepalm.

March 6, 201214 yr I can see them scoring 4 in the form they've been on but keeping clean sheets, that's not been their forte recently
March 6, 201214 yr 2-0 Arsenal (Rosicky, 25) I remember Gary Neville's pronunciation of his name from the Spurs game, one to watch out for :laugh3:
March 6, 201214 yr Holy Fuck. Just got home from work minutes before the penalty. Never would have imagined... :edit: and now the arsenal defense is breaking down... HT
March 6, 201214 yr naw, thanks though. Nah. Are you guys sure about that? You're missing all the fun. So, let me start: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
March 6, 201214 yr Are you guys sure about that? You're missing all the fun. So, let me start: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA As as a neutral party, I don't really see what's funny about it, tbh. But then again, I'm not a dick.
March 6, 201214 yr As as a neutral party, I don't really see what's funny about it, tbh. But then again, I'm not a dick. Rooting for a team and laughing at your rival team doesn't mean you're a dick. In fact, it means you're a regular football fan. You should try it one of these days.
March 6, 201214 yr Rooting for a team and laughing at your rival team doesn't mean you're a dick. In fact, it means you're a regular football fan. You should try it one of these days. 1. How does being a Tottenham ham give you an obligation to root for Milan? I never got that memo. 2. What exactly are you laughing at? By the looks of it, it was Milan who was humiliated. If Hamburg nearly overturned what I'm guessing would have been the greatest second leg comeback in champions league history, I would be applauding their effort if only because of the impressiveness of their accomplishment, and I hate their guts. Laughter implies that there's something to ridicule, that they sucked or choked. Which is absurd because I dare you to say that Spurs would have scored 4 on the return leg. So after having just watched that match, I can safely call your reaction dick-esque, or at the very least artificial.
March 6, 201214 yr How does being a Tottenham ham give you an obligation to support Milan? I never got that memo. I honestly don't care about Milan, but I'll always support whoever plays Arsenal. That isn't wrong or "dick-esque", it's simply what regular fans do. What exactly are you laughing at? By the looks of it, it was Milan who was humiliated. (...) I would be applauding their effort if only because of the impressiveness of their accomplishment They're OUT. Isn't that a good enough reason? Laughter implies that there's something to ridicule, that they sucked or choked. No, it doesn't. I'm not an idiot. It was a great effort. Arsenal played a great match, and I applaud it. But they're out, and I find it funny. I dare you to say that Spurs would have scored 4 on the return leg. No, Tottenham, wouldn't have scored 4 in the second leg, but it wouldn't have suffered 4 goals in the first leg either.

Not knocking your feeling happy about it. No, it doesn't. I'm not an idiot. It was a great effort. Arsenal played a great match, and I applaud it. But they're out, and I find it funny. hmm, didn't really get that first part from "LETS ALL LAUGH AT ARSENAL" No, Tottenham, wouldn't have scored 4 in the second leg, but it wouldn't have suffered 4 goals in the first leg either.Wwhich would have been the appropriate time to: * [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3bsrkH1ZCY]Laughing guru - YouTube[/ame] Not tryin to egg you on. I have nothing against ya. Was just a bit miffed by your comment. *ironically stolen from a spurs fan.
