Villas Boas (EX) Chelsea manager

[dom9]

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Yes, this too. Massive regression there.

[Neil Young]

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

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

[Reece]

Yeah I like Rory. Shame he's no longer a Liverpool (area) correspondent.

[Alex]

That Rory Smith article is pretty good. Hes one of the few Journalists that I actually read his opinions.

[Roboklopp]

City's purchases look a lot more coherent than the Chavs of late.

[Alex]

If Villas Boas gets the sack before the end of the season, I dont think Chelsea will be winning the league for a fair few years. The will have been knocked down and rebuilt so many times without it being finished.

[Shaggy]

Was thinking that the other night.

Lost to United away, Arsenal at home, us at home twice

[Chris]

Their December is very tough aswell and given theyve not won one big match this season he could be getting a nice pay off for some xmas pressies.
