AVB cant have long , he is one bad result away from getting the bullet I think , his system is not working with the players he's got, he has to change the system !!! I still cannot get my head around torres being so poor also , Chelsea need a large turn around in the summer , they look like they wont make the champs league at this stage .
he's not inherited a great side , also many have seemed to have turned on him a bit , it's an ageing squad , his tactics at times are bizarre .. I imagine Roman already has someone lined up as I type ...

This lad wouldn't get it right with 10 years. Keeps picking two of the most detested players by supporters, fucked off Alex when we were struggling at centre back, hasn't realised luiz will never make a solid centre back, playing the best striker out wide, playing the most creative player out wide as well as continually takin him off but above all, the style of play is rank to watch. Guarantee most would have said SunDerland had a shit squad before oNeil arrived yet look what he's achieved since he came. AVB was never gonna work.

Too late Steve. He's away to a Russian outfit whose name is like a countdown conundrum

Eye's right, skin back tight, bollocks to the front, we're the boy's who make more noise when we're on the cunt, we're the riders of the night, and we'd rather fuck than fight, we're the riders of the Clock end Highbury
Quote by Dr Feeley GoodTo be honest from Hoddle onwards I can't think of any of them I haven't liked !!! Thought they all did ok, but obviously not well enough for Chelsea !
He did well as manager and is possibly the best player I've ever seen in the flesh but Gullit was an absolute cunt in person so I didn't like him. And you liked Grant?.....still recall Dr Evil Kenyon at the press conference telling us Grant would take the club to the next level.....(yep - ditch Mourinho and hire an unknown Israeli as Boss - big step forward...) and before anyone says anything, I KNOW he got us to the CL final . I'll file that in the same category as 'Foinavon won the Grand National....'....

think he needs time as the teams in transition, mata was a great buy. Inherited a team on the slide with big ego's who need replacingover the next few seasons. (Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Cashley cole, Maluda) Maybe Torres if he can't rediscover his form.
out of all , my favourite has been Claudio Ranieri .. AVB is tactically inept , and it shows badly .. I wont take anything away from Birmingham as they played a really strong game , but the Chelsea side fielded should be beating that team by 4 or 5 .. we are so predictable going forward , so slow and mundane it's daft .. Torres may benefit from a loan season , cant see harm it would do .. Luiz should be in midfield .. out goes Malouda , Kalou , Mereiles , Bosingwa and Mikel ..

he was a likeable character mate who conducted himself with immense dignity given Kenyon and his cohorts were actively making a cunt out of him via the press. And someone who deserved a second year probably in charge MAYBE but if I'm honest, I couldn't ever see him getting us over the line for the league title. And his team/tactical fuck up in Monaco was of such monumental proportions, I doubt there's ever been one as bad in such a high profile game (CL Semi-final).
I think the Mourinho era has this label of functional team but it doesn't do it justice IMO. That first season, we'd Robbin and Duff on the wings, Joey Cole playing well, Eider in the centre, Lamps top of his game, etc...A lot of goals in that first season but tight at the back. Exactly what you want. The second season we got off to a superb start and the league was a procession by Xmas. The problem started when Ballack and Shevchenko were forced on the team. That was the beginning of the end. That and the ruskie didn't like the bad publicity JM brings at times (Wenger/Voyeur springs to mind...). Outside of Mourinho, some of the football played under Vialli was superb at times (De Matteo, Wisey, Petrescu and Judas Poyet midfield). But not as good as Bobby Campbells 88 2nd Div winning side

summed up nicely there Glenn .. though tactically he got it spot on when we played Arse( trophies )nil , we could never beat them fuckers .. Chelsea have had some real good flair players , but a lot of dross has made its way in .. Chris , CAN'T HIT A COWS ASS WITH A BANJO , Sutton springs to mind ..
