Im guessing you didnt see the headlines on every single tabloid/news article last sunday when it was printed that Di Matteao had a meeting with the Hierachy of the players aka, Terry/Lampard/Drogba/Cech and called a truce..

A truce..............................A bloody truce....... These guys are paid millions of your hard earned money (Well most Chelski fans are armchair fans at best) to perform each week and to do a service for there club not over rule their manager and scheme to get them sacked just because he makes them train a few more hours and makes them play different tactics...

And you wanted more?




Wasnt this you that said this before?

Atleast when i challenge SAAD80GD i get a bit of a comeback worthy of my reply


Pretty gutted to hear about Muamba, hopefully he pulls through but ive heard he's in real bad shape

Thanks about that comment about me

Anyways, time for me to come into the discussion. Cech, Terry, and Drogba were not the reasons AVB was sacked. Cech was the probably the Chelsea player least responsible for that. He was the man always stating that AVB should be backed and actually admitted to making mistakes in games. Terry and Drogba have told the team to get up and play for the shirt the entire season. Neither of them are in their prime, Terry is still very good, but past his best, as is Drogba, who is still one of the best lone strikers in the world if he has a good mood. So really, I don't know if all the media's rumours are true. Yes, it is true that Terry was screaming from the touchline against Napoli. In some ways it made sense. Chelsea had used all 3 substitutions and Luiz was struggling to play. Terry, with all his experience, told Essien to temporarily swap places with Luiz and told Luiz to push on. Not sure if it made a difference, but I was happy that we had another guy telling us to keep concentration, keeping our belief in qualifying. As for Lamps, he is probably the guy least happy with AVB. He admitted not having an "ideal relationship" with him. But AVB didn't help himself, did he? Kicked Alex and Anelka, 2 players who I thought still had something to give to the club, to the reserves, not even inviting Anelka to Chelsea's Christmas dinner. He took out Lampard and played Meireles. If you were in Lamps place, and saw your position being taken by a Portuguese midfielder who can't pass the ball and you are the second top scorer, you can't be happy. AVB tried being the boss of everyone, trying to kick out the old guard, without having replacements. RDM has the players are performing well, so he's letting the old guard have their freedom. At the end of the day, a win is all that matters.

(i happened to walk into the kitchen just as it happened, came back out and there were 10+ medical stuff around someone and everyone was in tears. I assumed it was a head injury, only found out what had happened through a mate afterwards.)

ESPN are tactless as fuck as always 'i've only ever seen one person collapse like this on a football pitch, and he died'

Try to be at least a little professional, jesus.

ESPN don't know shit about anything. They are one of, if not the, most ignorant sports network on the planet. I did not watch this unfortunate Muamba incident because I refuse to watch ESPN but it's very uncomfortable to hear.

just how bad a choice of words it that.

Horrible to hear about Muamba, sounds like he's coming good now though thankfully. Certainly puts football in perspective. Hopefully he can make a quick and full recovery, and be back playing in no time.

Fantastic result for us today, top of the league temporarily too until those jammy gits at Soton and Wet Spam got late goals . Top win and performance from us though which is all good

Read my post on the last page. The papers are a bit true and a lot wrong

[Emerald Emblem]

Right, Muamba is critically ill and in intensive care. Come on Muamba, pull through.
