Yes, but are thieves classed as "economically active"?

All in favour, say "I" Anyone but Rafa.

Too easy, trolls coming here to bait then taking the bait themselves, clearly a prepubescent kid giving it some over the internet. Shouldn't you be getting off here, coming up to prime time for robbing and you need to get ready. Get back to your slum you bin dipping scouse mug.

Maybe if you applied yourself and actually got a decent job instead of spending your existence on other clubs (which you clearly envy due to your own pathetic clubs lack of trophies) forums then maybe you wouldn't be living in a council house. Once again, sign on and get back in your time machine to the 1980's where you can actually say anything about other clubs

Obesity is a decent one I've heard.

"I couldn't concentrate on the game because I was starving because we didn't get to Subway on the way to Reading for me to get my footlong as we were running late. That was an omen"

Probably just w*****g over the sight of "Big Stevie G best midfielder of all time" on a Chelsea forum in your avatar

I actually throw up a little bit in my mouth every time i see that fat, pathetic disgrace walk out onto the touchline wearing that Chelsea suit complete with grease stains from whatever fast food item he has had before the game. A truly repulsive coach and I do not recall ever feeling this against a manager before. Here's to the "interim interim"

Liverpool? Living off history? Licking Rafa's A**e? Whats with all these bin dippers shouting the odds when they are languishing in mid-table thinking they are still a big club? Sign on.

Its like something taken from the manual of "how not to be a football manager" if such a book existed. - Once again start a striker who has been out of form for the best part of 2 and a half years now instead of playing a player who was one of the most on-fire strikers in the league prior to coming to Chelsea - Start defensively with Bertrand on the wing against a team in the bottom 3 - Still stick with a formation which just results in a midfield so congested nothing is ever going to happen in there with wide players who can only cut in - Leave your leader and best defender on the bench because "he still isn't fully fit" despite first returning to the bench 17 days ago - 2-0 up in the 85th minute, great time to bring on a midfielder who cannot defend - 2-1 now, time to bring on another defender to stifle them when they have their tails up? No. A straight swap at striker seems like the correct option here - More atrocious defending which gifts an equaliser to Reading, not the first time we have not beaten a team we should have comprehensively beaten So, how is the down to the Fat Spanish Waiter? 1. Does not have a settled back four and feels the need to change it constantly, resulting in mistakes 2. Never let him walk your dog as he does not have a clue about how to hold on to a lead 3. Inept tactics from the formation right down to the subs, it just all stinks 4. The blind faith in Torres 5. Somehow managing the Champions of Europe to defeat against QPR and West Ham and drawing with Southampton and Reading when at one stage we were 2-0 up All of these teams we have royally f***** up against apart from West Spam are relegation fodder. How do we find ourselves in this situation. Rafa has to go otherwise we will not be seeing Champions League football next season at The Bridge it's as simple as that.

Get a huge Rafa out banner and drape it over whatever mug from Sky Sports is stood outside Cobham tomorrow night when he does his bulletin.

Guus Hiddink will not be a long term solution but he will be a far superior solution to the one we have at the moment. Actually no, Rafa can't even be classed as a "solution", he is the problem.

Personally, the return of Mourinho would coincide with a return of atmosphere at the Bridge. Fans tend to be a lot more vocal when they know their own patch is a fortress and not losing at home in over 60 league games is the definition of fortress. KTBFFH & RafaOUT

Damo, it's impossible to have a rebuilding season when for the last 2 "rebuilding seasons" we have had 4 managers. RDM was doing a great job for a club in transition and to put it all up in the air by sacking him 3 months into the season was frankly suicidal. All it means is that next year will be yet another dreaded "rebuilding season" where we won't challenge for the league and the pundits can continue to talk about how our power is waning.

My best hope for him is that he becomes a more consistent version of Kalou, a good squad player who can chip in with a few late and important goals over the course of the season. It was clear that he was never going to be a starter considering what we payer for the personnel ahead of him in the pecking order compared to the fee he commanded.

Probably just as well the trophies weren't physically on a plate for him otherwise there would be no silverware for next seasons winner and we would have to foot a hefty bill for some new ones.

Agreed but the boy is just coming back from a largely injury-ravaged 18 months and cannot be expected to start games which are derbies or games where we will be needed to dig in. It would be better off giving him minutes when the games are sealed and he can express himself without fear of the repercussions of losing the ball (i.e Stoke away of all places, actually, never mind, we don't want him on the injury table for another 18 months).

The well of world class managers has finally run dry and if Roman wants any respectable manager to take the job he has some serious grovelling to do, whether it be to RDM or the special one (one can assume the latter would be far more likely). Also, sacking Gourlay and Buck would make the job a lot more palatable to Mourinho as we all know the story with his "leaving by mutual consent". Whatever happens, just don't even give a thought to giving the job to the whinging, excuse filled joke of a manager or we will probably finish mid-table next season.

For a manager notorious for his rotational policy the only thing that seems to be Rotating for Marin is what particular seat he is sat on on the bench whilst Mata and Hazard seem to play 90 minutes every game regardless of whether the game is won or not or whether they need resting or not. However, Rafa decides the perfect time to rest our most influential forward player is in a heated London derby against QPR and what does that mean? Throwing Marin in at the deep end after playing very little football over the last 12 months. What can be expected of a player of his build starting against thugs like Clint Hill when seriously lacking match fitness? Same thing today, doesn't play for weeks so lacking match sharpness and form and is started against a league one team which coupled with a horrific pitch meant that it was always going to be a scrappy affair. What does Rafa expect? That players can just come into the side like this and set the world alight? What goes through that mans head?

Roman doesn't talk to the media so there's no chance of him standing up for the players and Buck and Gourlay are both a waste of space. So no chance of anything happening from the 3 of them. The closest we got to standing up for ourselves at ballboygate was when the Chelsea twitter account said "has football gone mad" when Eden was sent off by you know who. Personally, I think the silent approach favours us as we are going to be villainised by the press anyway because they have their noses up fergie's and united's arse so any attempt to fight our corner would be met with even more fallout. Anyway, I think it annoys the gutter press that after years and years of trying their best to derail our success by exposing scandal after scandal and making as big a fuss out of it as possible they still haven't got a peep out of Roman. If you need any proof of how we are treat differently to everyone else just look at how ridiculously JT's affair with his teammates ex-girlfriend was handled whereas Rooney's granny shagging antics and paying prostitutes £1000 a night and Giggs' affair with his brothers wife were just swept under the carpet like they didn't happen.

The only manager I can think of when you're chasing a game 2-0 down to go into a cup final (albeit not a major one) who would even think of making 2 straight swaps at center half and left back. Leaves his subs far too late to make any impact as they barely get a touch of the ball before the final whistle blows. Also, the "master tactician" as so many bin dippers like to remind us that he is seems to make reactive changes rather than proactive; he would rather wait until it was 2-2 against Southampton before making any sort of change in system or personnel. Finally, the "master tactician" has masterminded embarrassments against QPHA, West Ham and Southampton, all teams we really should of and almost certainly would of taken to the cleaners under any other manager. Whatever luck he had at Klanfield has clearly run out and successive disasters at Inter and us has shown that he is a god-awful manager and due to his bad managerial skills coupled with what he has said about us while he was at the dippers I would rather have Steve Kean at the helm.

Didier, you were the best striker I ever seen that graced the turf at the bridge, or anywhere else for that matter. Thank you for making so many Premier League center halfs look stupid, in particular Carragher.
