No you lost to a better team who's manager out thought your manager in the tactics department, you then resorted to trying to kick City off the park but got found out, me thinks the wheels may be coming off

Some of you are so blinded by loyalty to your team you can not see truth, a very sad indictment of Chelsea fans this thread, mind you the rest of the world seems to think that Bridge behaved with dignity in the whole affair

Chelsea were lucky to finish playing with a full team! You were well and truly dicked today by a much better team!

Taken from the MEN message board Some things will never change in the perpetual ebb and flow of football. The constant is that top players rarely move on a whim. They all need to be persuaded, charmed and convinced of the need to move clubs. In short, they all need to be harassed and cajoled. The owners of the players have to be left with no option but to sell, once their star asset has had his head turned and wants to leave. The master of these dark arts, over the last 20 odd years has been Ferguson of course. It was Utd who first destabilised targeted players throughout Europe. Ince was shown in a Utd shirt before he actually signed for them. Hargreaves was chased until he and his club submitted. Van Horse was shamelessly harried for 2 years until he put pen to paper at OT. Even other clubs youth team players were hounded, for example Giggsy whilst he still wore the blue of MCFC . The list is far from complete. We also lost SWP to a bullying Chelski, and now DS has been drawn to them finally some 4 years after stating that they were interested in him. City are learning the sharp practices quickly, we are now in a financial position to defend ourselves from predators and target our own players of interest. The bid for JT is part of the softening up procedure aimed at Abramovich. Terry obviously is keen to move, Cook and Co have turned his head. The next phase will be to use the player to convince his owners to release him from his contract. For years we have had to look on whilst Utd and Chelski bullied their way into acquiring their players of interest. Now we are, potentially, the biggest fish in the pond. I for one will delight in watching the 'big 4' squabble and fight eachother whilst the new boys in town call all the shots. The evidence is, it's already begun hasn't it

How silly does that sound from a fan of a club who have been buying success for how many years

Remind me how you struggled with Wigan? A very lucky escape and against Spuds, We played Villa with half a team missing, will be a good game being called the clash of the cash :o

It might have well have been my bad

What like the 0 0 with Spuds and the lucky win against Wigan ;) a team with no wingers the mind boggles lucky to get away with a 0 0
