Chelsea

I hate Wenger's face *SO* much.

My disdain does often subside, but then it comes back with a flourish when he doesn't see something or moans about something else. Again. And again.

Idiot. Yup, I said that in a French accent.

I honestly don't think he's ever bothered me that much. Compare him to say, Ferguson and his minions and it's just not in the same league.

Oh, I agree about Ferguson - he's on another level. But I have differing levels of rage of which, Ferguson sits pretty at the top. It's the next tier where Wenger comes in (alongside Mourinho, Warnock, Hughes et al).

I can understand people not being bothered by him and there are instances where I forget my rants about him, but then he'll come out and say or do something stupid and the rage comes back in waves.

Haha - literally just seen this on twitter:

Paul Hayward @_PaulHayward

Seems a good time to say Wenger is one of the best things to have happened to our football. Great body of work deserves respect at all times

Then again it's Paul Hayward, so maybe you've all got a point after all.

Or maybe you're a thoroughly good egg, Dom and it's me and Chris who have anger issues.

Who can tell? Who can tell? Certainly not me.

the reason i say it softened my view on him was that it showed many of the 'arrogant' interviews but extended them such that you saw him smiling and joking with the intervewer.

like rafa/rodgers/suarez, if the media want to highlight something, they'll twist words, cut quotes short etc to prove their point. seeing more of what jose actually is like is an eye opener.

im sure he can be a ******* but frankly, i dont believe any top class manager is matey matey with all and sundry. Simply have to be a bit of a crafty ****er to win. simple as that. He'll be the most successful manager in history by the time he's done I'm sure of it. he's won half of what fergie has in 1/3 of the time. pretty extraordinary.

I always thought i'd probably not have much of an issue with him as our boss. Now I would want him ahead of rafa if rodgers were to move on. and im as much in the rcdnw bridage as anyone. I'd be miffed if utd get him after fergie's gone.

Loved the way they showed Rafa get the better of him twice in his biggest matches in charge of Chelsea.

What a mini golden era that was for us, wish I appreciated it more now.

Mourinho to Chelsea buzz getting louder. two very different people with CFC connections insist "it's a done deal"

one source an agent, the other a commercial partner of the club

Urgh. Him coming back will be really annoying for 2 reasons, he's one of the biggest scumbags professional sport will ever witness and they'll be better.

[dom9]

Top 4 will be a lot harder with a Chelsea squad not riven by politics and division.

[RichC]

Aye, he will take them up a level that is for sure. Could mean that there is only one place in the top 4 to play for.

[Chazza]

Indeed.

He will get them united and playing together as a driven team again and they will be up there challenging again.

They will spend a bit of money no doubt.

[dom9]

Might as well just sack Rodgers, his successor, and the one after that now really.
