Brum have equalised against Spurs.

Wont matter too much for us, as we're miles behind 4th place.

[Drago]

**** off chelsea.

[Vermilion]

**** off chelsea.

Ditto.

[JohnDoe]

And some people want Ancelotti as our manager...

[Craig_H]

Hardly his fault that Abramovich has turned into a penny pincher.

Hardly any of that squad is his.

[Ben_Itez]

Hardly his fault that Abramovich has turned into a penny pincher.

Hardly any of that squad is his.

He's had to fund Russia's bid for 2018, no?

[Bender]

NASRI 1ST GOAL
NASRI 2ND GOAL

Crap excuse, he has the best and most expensive squad in the league and the strongest first 11. He's a manager that needs to get carried by top players in order to succeed. Chelsea were hardly convincing champions last season, it's just that everyone else was worse.

Looks like this is the season that United overtake us.

This season, next season, it's only a netter of time.

'crap excuse' my arse.

Most expensive squad in the league is Man City's.

'Best' is purely subjective - not everyone rates the same players. If Ancellotti has his own system and wants certain players to fit it properly - and hasnt been given the chance to shape the squad into what he wants, it isnt his fault.

'Manager that needs to get carried by top players in order to succeed' Which manager won PL/Serie A/La Liga or CL titles without top players? Daft comment.

In short, you're talking ****e.

You're making it sound like he's been scraping the barrel for signings. What's Ramirez for 20m pounds exactly? That's complete nonsense.

There's a difference between winning with top players and getting carried by top players. Ancelotti is getting carried, I do realize this is a very subjective observation but he has no real impact on the game in my opinion and the fact that he's been tactically outclassed by Roy freaking Hodgson says it all.

[Craig_H]

More nonsense.

Ancellotti not a good manager? What next, Messi cant play for toffee?

[JohnDoe]

Ancelotti is the luckiest manager in the world. Won two league titles, one of them was in the worst Premier League season in recent memory, the other with prime AC Milan, and you could even say that it was a major failure to win only one league title with that lot.

He got two European cups I'll give him that, one was one of the worst finals in the history of the competition and against a Juventus side without their best player. The other against us, fair play. He also blew a 3-0 lead at half time in some other important game.

[Craig_H]

I'm sure he'll sleep ok tonight, safe in the knowledge that you'll "give him that".
