There's nothing like having regrets while burning your bridges."When I left Chelsea I knew we would remain behind for at least one year."We play very, very good football, but that is not enough. We have to fight, and have a killer instinct in front of the goal.
When he is retired I will remember the good times.I know why there is a lot of hate for willy, but for me he is still one of the best defenders we have ever had and is in my all-time chelsea xi...sure he's a prat and made a mistake by leaving, but that won't make me forget the five years he gave to the club
Same here! Maybe Billy will remember the good times at Chelsea too after he retires.When he is retired I will remember the good times.
That implies we wanted to sell him. We only got rid of him because he was refusing to play for us and was allegedly making all sorts of threats to get his way. We were desperate to keep him till that point.just remember guys we were the ones that wanted ashley cole and used gallas as part of the deal to get him
The thing is that he didn't get higher wages at Arsenal. That's what I've heard anyway.not desperate enough...we didn't give him the long well paid contract he wanted and deserved...much like terry and lamps appear to be miffed about sheva and ballack's wage, gallas was upset that he was on a lot less than terry and lamps and a few others even though he was a major man in our success. Chelsea's statement said that one of the reasons he was not offered loads was due to his commercial value or something like that which is ridiculous...if we are champions that's all the commercial value we need and we would have been a lot better defensively this season with him in the team...Gallas is a moody tosser no doubt, but if PK had done his job properly the situation would have been avoided...remember he only had a year left on his contract, we would never allow that to happen with terry and lamps...those two are playing hardball over their contract so what's the difference?
I'm still not sure about this own goal claim of chelsea's...sounds like covering their tracks to me...of course i want willy to suffer at arsenal, but that's cos of my loathing of arse not willy...he's better than riccy, better than desailly was for us, better than leboeuf, and was in my chelsea all-time xi alongside JT in the middle...the way the title race appears to be going, it looks like both willy and chelsea will be the losers out of the situation, with utd the benefactors
And for a less successful clubBut he's at Arsenal now. Playing for less than "he's worth" and everywhere in the defence which "he really doesn't want". Good luck Billy![]()
That too. Who was it that said "Chelsea is the future"? Can't seem to recall who made that statementAnd for a less successful clubBut he's at Arsenal now. Playing for less than "he's worth" and everywhere in the defence which "he really doesn't want". Good luck Billy![]()

Fate mocks Billy. Three cheers for fate!It is especially ironic that if Gallas had stayed with us this season, he would have played pretty much every game at centre-back - with the long-term injuries to JT and Boularohz.
Maybe he will join Cristiano Ronaldo on the plane to Madrid.I wonder what odds you would get on Gallas not being at Arsenal next season.
Aren't you normally the one blaming others for jinxing things? Billy scored a goal...Normally I turn over when Liverpool score 3... but I'm waiting for a close up on Gallas' face.
