"Money-grabbers" non-included! I was referring to the current ambient at the club, which is really low. The players I have mentioned are on our wish list, and yet it is clear that they chose other teams because they will not feel comfortable at Chelsea even though Chelsea would pay more!

Please, don't slag me...but, you must admit that my post has a point! With all the sh*t that has been happening with our club in the last 12 months (and the list is quite long) I don't see any serious professional that appreciates good "club environment" joining us next year! Alves (Barca or Madrid), Villa (Arse or Scum), Huntelaar (Roma) etc just to name the few!

Totally agree...Even in the last year under JM I think we played at our best when coming from 1:0 down. It seems that scoring first under AG is more scary! 4 out of the last 5 games have been like that!

As I recall...last two games Sheva played for CFC in the last 2 months or so were the two laaaaaaaaaaaateeee substitutes against Spuds and now against Wigan. To be honest, I really feel bad for the bloke as that must be his lowest peaks of the carrier. As for AG's laaaaaaateeee subs and motivation qualities...well, you know my answer to that........MOOOROOOOON!

Managers like Rijkaard, Fergie and Arse-n might give him a chance...but not this moron we call Chelsea manager! I am looking forward to seeing him play next season!

Sorry, mate, but in CFC shirt he is! It is the same for Sheva! I honestly believe those two are great players, but they are typical examples that certain players are not for certain leagues/teams.

That shirt looks sooooooo 80's alike! I don't mind the "retro" movement, but somehow this shirt doesn't go with my taste! So far, the 100 centenary Umbro shirt is my favorite one!

This is more/less my wishlist: OUT: DD, Sheva, Pizarro, Sidwell, TBH, Malouda, Belletti IN: Hutelaar, Villa, Van der Vaart, Alves Prerequisite is, of course, AG! Couldn't stand, mentally, having him as our manager for another year! One thing that will make mi sad is seeing Clarke leave, especially knowing that Top Cat will stay! On the other hand, would love to see Clarke as a manager soon in one of the premiership sides!

Of all 3 semi-final encounters with the Scum, this is the least one I am/was confident about...and we have lost the two previous ones! So, go figure!!

Essien 100%, and he wasn't even playing in his position at all! Kudos to Hilario...he is one of the rare players who actually earns his salary properly..when playing! Drogba? WTF!!! Either AG plays him from now on in 4-4-2 with Nic or he doesn't play him at all!! I was disgusted and ashamed with his theatrics again tonight!!

Knowing AG, probably in 86th-ish! :) Btw, I think players can hear me cheering back here from Bosnia than from people at the Bridge! The crowd support is not there!!

Few points... Even though we didn't play well in the last few games after scoring first, I still believe that we must get an early goal. No matter what Fener players say (we shouldn't fear Chelsea, we don't have any more respect for them...) they are still young and unexperienced team and will buckle under Stamford Bridge pressure. Anelka MUST start the game...with or without DD, I don't care. Drogba has proved that his mind is already in Inter, or wherever. Malouda...well, we all know the answer to that one. Essien is gathering pace, so he must start in his position, together with Ballack and Lamps! 2-0 or 3-0 Chelsea tonight for sure!

Did this story surprise anyone? Not really. The facts of the current CFC "state of mind from within" are more clearer every day. I will be quite gutted and sad when/if he leaves, but at the same time I am happy for him because I feel that he now has the knowledge and experience to take over a managerial role at a decent club. And I'll tell you this as well...The club he takes over will probably be my 2nd favorite club next year!

Sorry, but I don't feel this is the game where we need to concentrate on attack too much, but more on our defensive lapses. Knowing that we struggle a lot on the RB position, I think SWP would be useful there as a back-up! Than again...I am dreading every set-piece!!

Agree on most things, apart from: - Paolo for Belletti - Juliano was not impresive in his defensive duties vs Boro - SWP for Kalou - Shaun on right, Joey on the left. Shaun is pretty good at playing defensively when needed, and we need a strong defence on the flanks.

Few points...Even though the second half was horrible, I finally get to have a sarcastic smile on my face the day after thinking that lady luck was finally on our side! You all know how much I despise AG, but I have to say the SWP sub was spot on...Come to think of if, that's the same position he shined in in the beginning of the season under JM. Nevertheless, to bad Shaun is not clever enough player to put at least one in from 3 clear chances! However, can anybody explain to me the Anelka sub? I was looking forward to see proper 4-4-2 formation when he came on, but it seems AG had something else on his mind with SWP staying in the middle, Joey on the left and Nic on right? Well, whatever he had in mind it didn't work, cause Nic was totally out of position...again! And after Alex came on as 5th defender, our attack totally switched to defensive mode!

Joey will be probably be for me, although I do agree with points above regarding Maka! I will give it another thought, though! Regarding the best goal, does anybody has links for these on the net? I do remember half of them, but I would like to see them again before voting! However, still none of them is nowhere near Essien's from last year!

At the moment, probably looking forward to season 2010-2011!

Have you noticed, which is not a surprise, that everyone is quiet!? I am talking about players! Which can only mean one thing...they all probably have a lot to say, but they cannot since it will not be within "the club policy", i.e. never talk negative about your performance and especially your manager! Well...I am available to slam publicly anyone, anytime! :)

That's funny, mate! My first honest laugh since last night! Cheers!

Unfortunately...that is soooooooooooo true! I am dreading the game on Sunday. Will probably be watching it through my fingers, like I did when watching horror movies when I was 5-ish!

Sack him now and leave Clark as manager till then end of season!! He clearly knows the game, club, players and fans much, much better than that moron Grant!!! It is sad to say that I would love us to win EPL or CL this year, but am subconsciously wanting us to fail only to get rid of AG!!! I just couldn't stand another year under him! The point is that people say "we only lost few games under his belt", "we didn't loose 15 or so games in a row" bla, bla, bla...It was never his achievement. He didn't introduce anything new in the game. The set-ups are all so familiar to us! However...his substitution skills are something new!!! IDIOT!!!!

AG has always been a whimp when it comes to substitutions! By getting Alex on the pitch he told Ramos: "Come and attack!" And that was 20 mins still left in the game! Avram, you prick, the first rule in football management is "if you have the ball, your opponent cannot score"!! Ballack should've come on instead of Alex. Alex totally messed up defense because we don't know how to defend with 5 players at the back, it is just not our thing! Again, AG IS A F'N MORON!!!!

What a f'n moron AG is!!!!! We just lost a game we should have won easily!!! It is not because of poor defending. It is because he f**ked up the entire team with his ridiculous changes!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! What a f'n MORON AG is!!!!! I am now dreading Arsenal and Man U game, because with this type of managing we will DEFINITELY loose those games at home!!!! I just cannot get this bloody frustration out of me!!!!

With all due respect to Lippi's achievements...NO, thanks! With the immense pressure that PL puts on managers, I recon he would get a heart attack by the game 5!
