Villas Boas (EX) Chelsea manager

[Vermilion]

He comes across as a superficial cunt.

Calling his manager 'Robbie' is a blatant power play. He is the ultimate modern footballing ******, an open example of everything that is wrong in the game.

Be a good fooballer, and your club will forgive you almost anything short of murder.

See the example of the young Chav player dimissed for setting off a smoke bomb, quite trivial compared to shooting someone with a gun you've brought into work.

John Terry is full of sh*t! He comes across as the nice guy in the media but we all know what he is like behind closed doors! ask wayne bridge!

John Terry insists Roberto Di Matteo is in charge at Chelsea and that he has no say in first-team affairs at Stamford Bridge.

John Terry insists Roberto Di Matteo is in charge at Chelsea and that he has no say in first-team affairs at Stamford Bridge.

Terry was seen giving instructions from the touchline after being substituted in the 4-1 victory over Napoli in the Champions League, leading to speculation that the Chelsea captain and other senior members of the playing staff were in control.

But Terry is shocked by the suggestions and says Di Matteodeserves all the credit for the Blues' upturn in form.

"In response to comments suggesting that I think I'm the manager, I'd like to say Robbie has stepped up and been immense," the 31-year-old told the Evening Standard.

"I am Chelsea through and through whether I am on the pitch or off it. Had I still be on the pitch (against Napoli) I would have been saying the same things that I was from the bench.

"That is my role as captain of this club.

"Just because I have come off the pitch, it doesn't mean to say my mentality changes. People might see it in the wrong way, but I care about this football club - we all do - and Robbie and his backroom staff deserve full credit."

Good lad, you stay right there.

Jose Mourinho has effectively ruled himself out of the race to manage either Chelsea or England by promising to sign a new deal at Real Madrid.

The 49-year-old revealed: ‘I am going to sign a new contract with Real Madrid. I would like to have a place in the club’s history.’

Mourinho, whose side are 10 points clear of Barcelona before Saturday night’s match at Real Betis, is on the brink of becoming the first manager to win a league title in four major countries.

He had dropped hints recently that he wanted to return to the Barclays Premier League and, after patching up his differences with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, was among the favourites to take charge at Stamford Bridge following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas

But he said: ‘Real Madrid and I share a project and we are going to carry on with it. Being part of this team is a fantastic and unforgettable experience for a manager like me.

'Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I feel happy here. I feel they trust me here and I feel I have the complete support of the directors and all the fans.

‘I see my future as achieving more things with Real Madrid and better results that lead to us winning trophies.’

The stats dont really tell the whole story anyway, City were improving allbeit with some criticism of Mancini's style whereas AVB has taken Chelsea's second place squad to fifth.

[Gingawaria]

Chelsea had fired Ancellotti as well though.

[The_weatherman]

They did stand by him, but they had no option, they had just fired Hughes

[Exiled_red]

Interesting... Who'd have thought City would be held up as an example of how to do things
