Can't believe we lost the final to them. They are shit and Even more boring and defensive than we are.
We are shit, but we're decidedly not more boring/defensive than you!Can't believe we lost the final to them. They are shit and Even more boring and defensive than we are.
How do you know they shot down the plane?Annexation of the Crimea, invasion of eastern Ukraine, assassination of opposition politicians and critical journalists, shooting down a civilian airliner, use of nerve agents on the streets of Britain ... you know, little things that.
It's close. Hazard is pretty much your entire attack.We are shit, but we're decidedly not more boring/defensive than you!
Your team is more boring but everyone talks about united obviously.We are shit, but we're decidedly not more boring/defensive than you!
Don’t you know? Abramovich was the one firing the RPG that took the plane down. Well, in Glaston’s mind he was.How do you know they shot down the plane?
How is any of this relevent to Abramovich? The government can't play moral police after their crimes. Maybe they should refuse Israeli money.
Well, international investigators concluded that the missile system that brought down the flight came from a Russia-based military unit. And Russia is being held formally responsible for shooting down the jet by Australia and the Netherlands.How do you know they shot down the plane?

While he did end up making it into the Chelsea senior team for 2 seasons or so (and won a Champions League medal in the process) (1), I would not count him as a sucessful graduate to the first team since Chelsea ended up foolishly selling him to Southampton (shortly after they got rid of Cole as well!). Which is a shame because the club then ended up wasting money on Rahman (and Luis, another player they should have not sold after only a season) before having to get both Alonso and Emerson to solve the issues they had in LB.Bertrand should count.
Mate you've written two fecking sentences there and still managed to squeeze in a footnote.While he did end up making it into the Chelsea senior team for 2 seasons or so (and won a Champions League medal in the process) (1), I would not count him as a sucessful graduate to the first team since Chelsea ended up foolishly selling him to Southampton (shortly after they got rid of Cole as well!).

(1) I wonder how Buffon, Zlatan and the (Brazillian) Ronaldo feel about this guy winning more Champions Leagues than they have done.
Those investigators are not trustworthy. Russia were blamed immediately. That should seem suspicious. The media are all in it together. Australia are part of the new world order. USA's bitch. They've let USA built a military base there.Well, international investigators concluded that the missile system that brought down the flight came from a Russia-based military unit. And Russia is being held formally responsible for shooting down the jet by Australia and the Netherlands.
Of course Russia denies it, but then they deny everything ... from barrel-bomb chemical weapon attacks in Syria, to involvement in the invasion of eastern Ukraine and all points in between.
It's relevant to Abramovich because he's a Russian gangster and his fellow Russian gangsters run Russia and the Russian government.
This idea can feck off. If your club can't develop youth by offering them opportunities in the first team, then they should look to purchase fully developed players on the market. At top fecking dollar.The thing is though, they need to adopt this stratagy a hell of a lot more as well as lobby for the establishment of a B Team in the Football League, because those 2 things are the only way they can increase the numbers of prospects becoming first team players.
You act like we send them on loan then don't bother with them.This idea can feck off. If your club can't develop youth by offering them opportunities in the first team, then they should look to purchase fully developed players on the market. At top fecking dollar.
Who?You act like we send them on loan then don't bother with them.
They get a top class education under fantastic coaches, then when the time comes for a loan we have a Champions league winning coach and an ex player who won it all studying their performances religiously and giving them feedback to the point they basically have two manager's, from what ive heard it's a big reason some loanee's don't look for a permanent move for as long as possible (hence the likes of Kalas and Piazon extending their contracts even past the points it's obvious they will never be good enough). Due to our contacts it also allows some players to get loans at levels they wouldn't sniff if they went down the "proper route" for example Patrick Bamford in the PL.
Had say Tottenham and Levy conjured up a system as successful as this, they would be getting showered with plaudits like never before, but because it's us the whole thing is deemed as the ultimate anti christ.
Eddie Newton (was Di Matteo's assistant in 2012) and Paulo Ferreira.Who?
I'm not a fan of the loan system as is used by you guys but I can stomach it.
A B-team league would only benefit the top clubs who have all these loanees on their books. That I'm staunchly against.
Close ties to Russian Government.Why is he not allowed in the country? Has enough assets in the country and not some economic refugee?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-thought-to-be-caught-up-in-uk-visa-crackdownThey didn't care about his dirty money before, so why now?

Balotelli?Are they after anyone from OGC Nice at the minute ? Don't ask me how I know but Guy Laurence is there at the minute.
Seri supposedly.Are they after anyone from OGC Nice at the minute ? Don't ask me how I know but Guy Laurence is there.
You’d think they would’ve sorted it by now what with the World Cup and a shorter summer transfer window.Amazing they still haven’t sorted out their managerial situation.
Said the club that just started to make Top 4? Bar 2012 when we won the CL we were consistently in the top 4 since Roman took over and we've missed out twice in the last 3 season which is not really like us. And our 10-year-old training ground is still miles ahead of yours being one of the best training grounds in the world. Our infrastructure is one of the best and only the top clubs in Europe can compete with that.It's crazy to think that, despite the huge inflation of values that have occurred since 2003 (when RA bought Chelsea), if he sold his stake for £1bn, he'd still lose money.
That's if you even think that the old stadium, 10-year-old training ground, and a tissue paper level of sustainability is even worth that much.
For whatever reason, they struggle to stay in the top 4 without constantly overhauling the coaching staff and squad.
They probably don't even know who he is.While he did end up making it into the Chelsea senior team for 2 seasons or so (and won a Champions League medal in the process) (1), I would not count him as a sucessful graduate to the first team since Chelsea ended up foolishly selling him to Southampton (shortly after they got rid of Cole as well!).

Lol. Just ignore the £1bn RA has put into the club to get that.Also our tissue paper sustainability has brought us 16 trophies since 2003, massive commercial deals and we still pay some of the highest wages in Europe and we can still bid high amounts of money.
Actually Arsenal have a bigger income than Chelsea, so that puts you 4th on the Prem income list as of the end of 2016-17. Liverpool were barely behind you at that point in time and will now have surpassed you, so that pushes you down to 5th on the list.Lol funny Chelsea is such a threat to alot of you in here. Let's just make this clear the only two clubs in the league that makes more than us is united and City. Whereas united we can justify City have their shady deals but that aside, we haven't been spending Roman's money for a long time now we're self sufficent. We're following the united model, leverage your popularity, sign good sponsorship deals and look to exploit your global fan base.
For most of you who think Roman is bored with us then think that it's his asset and he's a good businessman so he won't let us fall into disarray, the point is that no journalist knows what's roman is thinking none of you do and none of us do. So he canceled a billion dollar stadium plan so what? Spurs gonna be labored with debt repayments and Y'all don't have half of the sponsorship deals or the global status that we have much less trophies.
If we didn't have a massive implosion after January we would have still made top 4 and we still won a trophy for our failure of a season.
Maybe in decades, our training ground will be best and much improved, we have invested heavily in our academy the last few years and follow your academy model to produce players for us to sell as Ed Woodward see it as a cash cow and bring through the academy which we have been doing this since Busby day, Ed Woodward want to see creation of next the Busby's babes and the Class of 92. We were spoiled with SAF being man club, it kind of becoming outdated compared to all top clubs, it took 2 years for Ed Woodward to realize that our structure of the club is outdated, Moye and LVG had too much powers, it have wrecked our club. I'm glad we have been improving this way and accept there won't be next SAF. I hope you'll be doing same and Chelsea can turn it another way, it's not too late before falling to Liverpool that nearly went bankrupt in 2010.Said the club that just started to make Top 4?

Also our tissue paper sustainability has brought us 16 trophies since 2003, massive commercial deals and we still pay some of the highest wages in Europe and we can still bid high amounts of money. Going forward we will be relying more on our academy to produce players for us to sell an if they can make it in our first team then that's a bonus too. We have sold players for far above market value in recent times and yes we have bought some utter trash, Roman has been distracted this year with divorce, Russia and Trump. The UK is playing like a stubborn child and they are not realizing that with Brexit on the loom and your picking open fights with billionaires where's the investment gonna come from that your gonna desperately need post-brexit.
There are rumors.Is Laurent Blanc joining Chelsea?
He played for Barcelona, which is his main inspiration.There are rumors.
What kind of football brand does he play? Didn't follow PSG much when he was there.
Oh okay.He played for Barcelona, which is his main inspiration.
He wants his team to have a high possession rate and be patient in the build-up.
You can expect a 4-1-2-3 tactical system
Only in CM we don't and we look set to start rectifying that if the Seri rumours are true.Oh okay.
I don't really think Chelsea have players for possession based football.
I think there are some regulars in your side like Cahill and Alonso who don‘t fit a possession based 4-1-2-3.Only in CM we don't and we look set to start rectifying that if the Seri rumours are true.
We have quality ball playing defenders, Hazard's obviously suited as is Willy if he stays and Pedro is proven with possession based game. Courtois's game with his feet would be a concern, but unlike Hart he has enough quality for that to be worked around.
Cahill's got acceptable levels of technique to work as a squad player, he's not Luiz or Christensen but equally ain't Zouma. Alonso i'd wager would be dropped for Emerson, he's got good technique but is suspect agst pressing.I think there are some regulars in your side like Cahill and Alonso who don‘t fit a possession based 4-1-2-3.
Will Luiz be redeemed? I suppose he would want to move because of lack of playing time
