Villas Boas (EX) Chelsea manager

[Alex]

Seems to write about a broader range of football topics now. Which is nice.

Don't think Chelsea's downfall is down to AVB. They have a lot of players in very dramatic decline. Drogba, Lampard and Terry used to be the heart of that team, none of them look anything like their old selves. The only player they have that you could build around is Mata. I thought they had it in them to stay strong one more season but their spine just fell apart. Especially Lampard, ****ing hell, he is BAD.

Is this the start of one of two 'powerful' players in the Chav dressing room briefing against AVB?

It'll be interesting to see if this plays out. If AVB is still in charge at the start of next season then i doubt Terry and possibly Fwank will be in the starting XI

Also, Cech is not the keeper he used to be. I actually think he's a bit of a liability. He makes some really strange decisions sometimes.

He's more machine now than man. His mind is twisted and evil.

Yes, this too. Massive regression there.

At the moment only Mata looks a good signing. Though on paper there are some good players there. We need to be careful, they could come good, look at Man City, last year we were taking the piss out of a number of their signings, but quite a few of them have come good this season...

That's a good point.

However I don't really think they're much better than us, if at all.

Completely forgot about the amount of signings they've made this year. You'd want to see an improvement after spending that amount of poke.

Don't forget Essien. I think they miss him terribly.

Also, Mikel hasn't really developed. Gone backwards even. He was a better player when the rest of the team was playing better. That kinda makes him a passenger.

I think that Alex should be starting ahead of Terry and Luiz. They look more solid with him in.

Maybe this is being unfair on Alex but I reckon you could probably say the same about any of us.

Picking him instead of both of them is a bold move though, I salute your courage.

Terry and Luiz - suburban-set Seventies sitcom drives off the edge of a cliff.

I dont, Im terrible.

I'm starting to think that Spurs are a far more sure bet for 3rd. If we finish 4th then it's going to be tight which of Chelsea or Arsenal miss out on Europe. Then they can see what it's like
