Sorry that Jimmy Floyd lost his job, but it feels great that he's no longer associated with that club anymore.

Probably looking for any slight reason to dump him after that telegraph sting.

Happy birthday...

To former Chelsea, Wimbledon and England midfielder Dennis Wise who celebrates the big 50.

Zola and Wise both turned 50 this year! Crazy how time flies.

Bet he took a massive run up to that.

Alex (ex-Santos, Chelsea and Milan) has retired from football, he couldn't find a new team due to his injuries.

34 years old

 

I legitimately can';t remember if Alex was any good in defence or not, all I remember are his freekicks.

Let's just say your mind blocked those memories out for a reason. 

 

He had his moments and half the job is putting your body in the way anyway but he was never good enough as a defender

His free kicks were always the highlight of his time at Chelsea.

His free kicks were perhaps the most memorable and hilarious moments in his Chelsea career, but I remember him first and foremost as a very solid defender who played a very important part in a title-winning season, several cup-winning seasons, as well as more than one near-miss Champions' League run. Ultimately he could have become more than he did if it wasn't for his injuries. I was very disappointed to see how AVB treated an excellent club servant.

I thought he was fine around 09-10 when he was rotating in and out the team but season after when Carvalho left he lost it IMO. He did hit some memorable free kicks in his time though.

speaks to how underrated Ricardo was. One of the best CBs of his time IMO. He deserves to be right up there

Agreed, JT and Ricky are our best CB pairing ever IMO

Nope...JT and gallas were

JT - Carvalho  or JT - Gallas  both 10/10 IMO  Three diamond defenders for sure.

At least Ricky didn't bugger off to Sp*rs and Ars*nal

Our best back four while Gallas was at the club was Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry and Gallas. And that's not just a matter of opinion as the stats back it up as well.
