The much anticipated reaction from the Chelsea superstars did arrive. The ex-hammers ensured that West Ham was finished off before the second half started. The Chelsea team absolutely owed this to the fans after what had been dished out for some weeks. Meanwhile, Man Utd roll on with no Ronaldo and Rooney in the starting eleven while Arsenal held Villa at home in a match they should have lost comprehensively.
A good convincing league win after several weeks. The last one that comes to mind was against the Spurs at the Bridge. Happens to be the biggest league win of this season behind the Man City win. After a turbulent week, the wounded Chelsea players had to show a strong reaction. Luckily for us, we didn’t have to play a top team.
Avram started with a good first eleven. He learnt from his mistake of not playing both Drogba and Anelka in a 4-3-3. If I had to involve Kalou, I’d have dropped Anelka instead of Drogba but that’s fine as we have a crucial match against Olympiakos next week. We played 4-3-3 again but I’m still not convinced if that’s our ideal formation for now. Both Joe Cole and Kalou are not really pace dribblers as such. A good quality defence might pose us problems. Paulo Ferrier started which meant that Belletti could be resting ahead of the champions league match. Avram started with both Lampard and Ballack, which is what I had also preferred. They have played well and can play well together. Makelele’s presence did allow Ballack and Lampard to move forward.
The first quarter of an hour did not give any promises of a high scoring match. Anelka had a fair goal ruled offside within 5 minutes. Luckily, it did not make too much of an impact as we were going to hammer them. The first goal came at a moment of madness from Ferdinand. When the ball was heading for a goal kick, Ferdinand fouled Kalou inside the box for a penalty. Lampard score his #103 with a cool penalty. The second goal was completely Joe Cole’s. Firstly, for seeing a shooting opportunity from that angle when he had about half a dozen people to the goal and for the angle. Secondly for the quality of the finish. The third goal was made of a cross and finish oozing quality. If Lampard’s cross to an unmarked Ballack was fantastic, Ballack’s finish was absolutely world class. I wish we had played Joe Cole and Ballack in the league cup final!
Then came the red card incident. For many seasons now, Chelsea has been the recipient of undeserved red cards. Thankfully in this match, it was hardly consequential. Once in a while, the club makes a representation to the FA but this continues and nothing makes me believe that it would change. Boa Morte should have got a red card and Lampard at worst, should have got a yellow. Ballack got himself a deserved yellow amidst these confusions. The positive side for Grant is, Lampard would not be available for matches against Barnsley, Derby County and Sunderland. We have all the personnel and more. Lampard can come back for the league match against Tottenham. So, that’s one decision less for Grant to make. That’s why I’m not sure if Grant would push for an appeal to the FA against this red card.
After Lampard was sent off, West Ham saw more of the ball, at one point in the second half, had 65% possession in the match. We were simply chasing the ball and the hammers but the party was not over. Ashley Cole had to score his first goal for Chelsea. I’ve been waiting for his first goal for many many months. I badly wanted him to score at the Emigrants. He had a tough week with all his personal issues. It’s a great moment for him to get himself a goal. I’m very happy for him that I put up his picture above than Joe, Ballack or Lampard. And boy, he brought a smile to Grant’s face. The celebration with Drogba was all very cinematic and PR-driven. I was reminded of Henry, who was being ‘rested’ against his wishes last season and was running onto the pitch to celebrate goals with Adebayor and co. In few months, he left Arsenal. It tells me something.
After the fourth goal, the attacks we made in the second half were piss-poor – missin few yard passes, crossing straight to a Hammer who has no Chelsea player in a 3 yard radius and the like. But by that time, we had scored enough that I didn’t have to be bothered by these things.
Ballack, Joe Cole and Ashley Cole were all dropped for the league cup final by Grant. All three scored today and sent a strong message to Grant. Lampard and Terry were reportedly upset ahead of the cup final about their possible benching. Both of them had a great game today. That goal line clearance in the second half was a JT special. That’s their personal score. The players as a group had to absolutely win this match. One is to keep the title challenge alive and another is to face Olympiakos with good morale and confidence. This is a very important win in various aspects but has it answered all the questions? I don’t think so.
Here is Avram Grant, after the match:
I think we played very good, we used our chances in the first half, and made some more. Again, many goals from combinations, so I like it. In the second half, we played with one man short but were very clever and controlled the game. They created not even one chance. We needed to play a little bit differently on the tactical side and I think we did it very well. I cannot judge the players only from one game, good or bad, but I can see in the last five or six months the players gave more than 90 percent good performances. Also, [there have been] a lot of wins, so this makes me happy.
He’s back, with his references to ‘goals from combinations’ and how different tactics helped. Never misses a chance! I won’t care about these micros. Get us memorable victories and trophies. That’s all we need and he knows it.
When asked about Drogba, he says:
I will not speak about the players that are not playing. Didier is a great striker, but it can’t be a question of those who are not playing. I give my respect to all the squad, and he has been very good for us in the past, and he will be in the future. My reason for the team that played was that it could win the game. I am thinking of more than one game.
He says he won’t speak and ends up speaking. He still needs to be careful with the press. He knows that but he has to work on it.
Elsewhere, Man Utd progressed with a regulation 3-0 win over Fulham while Arsenal made a meal of their lead. Throughout the season, I’ve had this feeling that Arsenal will not win the league. It’s only between Man Utd and Chelsea. In pure footballing terms, Man Utd would be more deserving champions than Chelsea and Arsenal, just like the last season.
The next two premier league fixtures are against Derby County and Sunderland. Six points should be in the bag. Then the real deal starts in the middle of March, with crucial fixtures in the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League. Job on hand is despatching Olympiakos. Let’s do it without too much fuss.

where can i se higlights. didnt se the game.
however , chelsea still needing piza !!!
I think this roaring performance shld shut a few blabbermouths….bt thn they wl find more trash to spout…..
Well the exception only confirms the rulle
against poor opposition we are good,
the WH the lack of WH consistency once again proved
lethal, lets face a team with good players would take
advantage of chelsea with 10, not WH they are pathetic
as I predicted.
Nope even the next 2 games are not to change my opinion
about AG, against poor opposition we are brill, lets wait and get the ManU and Arse in SB.
Still believe AVRAM GRANT “the monkfish aka brutus” MUST GO.
Mr RA dont get all excited about this winn, a team that can not score and still suffers one goal against 10, hmmmmmm
Mr RA dont think that AG turned the corner he is unable,incableable of keeping a top team in the top positions, keep looking for a next manager
BRB
Jokerblue is back after a missing in action for some time. Once JM left, you mission was completed and you started supporting Arsenal as they were leading the table comfortably. Now that they are losing ground you’re back here in chelsea blog. may be you should have registered in the man utd blogs too.
I’m surprised that you’re supporting Chelsea. You always claimed to be a fan but never supported Chelsea. When were in better position same time last season, you were fuming and now suddenly you think all’s well and this will shut some ‘blabbering mouths’. there is worse blabbering mouth than you.
why have you come back? have you learnt football in the last few months?
A fine step in the right direction! As in my previous post, I’m holding Grant to 12 April to either keep the club in the hunt or he ought to be sent to Krygstan. Joeblue, for the sake of Chelsea, I hope I do get shut up. But this one victory (and a heck of one at that)over a mid table marauder does NOT make a whole season nor put a trophy in the case.
Well a good result and response to our critics.
BUT we tend to play well against poor opposition I feel under Grant and less well when we meet tougher teams as the stats seem to suggest posted elsewhere.
West Ham were lacking upfront and poor. The game was dead and buried in 15 minutes from the whistle.
This result does not change my views on Avram’s credentials in that I have always felt that he is more a caretaker manager than one for the long term.
However, I am pleased Grant made changes and applaud his politeness with the press under great pressure.
If he can beat the likes of Arsenal, Man Utd or a Barca comprehensively like this then I’ll sit up and take notice.
West Ham were poor today and we took advantage accordingly, we played them off the park last year too I can recall.
Losing Lampard actually made no difference, West Ham could still conjure up nothing much of note and we are so disciplined defensively that the extra man West Ham had made little impact and I was not surprised at all when we scored again in the second half.
So good result but I’m not going overboard about it and predicting we are suddenly brilliant and Grant is a tactical genius.
Grant made changes that he needed to, we met a team in West Ham who we could outclass, we had the press criticism to feed off and the result bearing in mind our inherent quality was obvious.
We did the job we needed to do and we have to keep doing it.
Ballack and Lampard still don’t really play together because now the ref makes sure they are kept apart!
Good Reaction from chelsea player’s,but still we r very bad against bigger team.
Lampard’s red card was the only negative point on a fantastic day today. It’s a shame Arsenal scored in the 94th minute, but the two dropped points is a gift anyway.
According to the official site, Lampard will be missing the games against Derby, Sunderland and Tottenham, being back in time for Arsenal. If so, I doubt we will appeal the red card. After Aliadiere’s unfortunate confrontation with the FA last week, it would be better for us to accept the injustice and carry on than make a fuss and have him suspended for such a crucial game. He’s already apparently missing one.
The period of his suspension is confusing however. If suspensions usually start a week after they are received, shouldn’t he be missing Barnsley, Derby and Sunderland? I would much rather he be back in time to face Tottenham, and I expect the team to be able to beat such inferior opposition even without his influence. Let’s see what happens. On to Olympiakos.
For God’s sake, there’s no reason to be too happy. It’s only westham. It’s matches like these that Grant wins. When we start winning big matches against tougher oppositions, we can be happy. Let’s see what happens when we face arsenal and manchester utd at the bridge.
hammers are not bad..they might pull somethin off against liverpool..its only default that we beat em though..im nervous about olympiakos..hope grant dosent screw the tactics again..
cheers..
be aware of olympiakos..we are strong team and we will fight!
we did not play in yellow! looks like a big change in management approach, after all…
It’s about time for a good relaxing game with an early goal (very important)
And keep attacking after to get a 2ed and 3ed goal.
Nice to see your here Bella.
Moyo: only smart ass like you can say today’s game was easy
i think Man U lost there .
Any ways you and your kind don’t need to be wasting my time.
And for BC
here are some real fair stats ,not manipulated !!!
BC
When you give stats you need to be very carefull not to manipulate the figures
It takes an honest Pearson to cut the stats so it would be fair to both sides you want to compare,
like a politician style you can play with the numbers and cut it as you wish.
As I see it you are wrong in 2 ways
1-the way and things you compare (part of a season compeered to full seasons)
Not taking to consideration the terms of which there is a huge deference of what you chose to compare
Like who built the team?
Like injuries along the way?
Like the other top teams shape?
Your parameters as goal scored per game are good but goal scored rank is nothing to do with stats, just like goal conceded per game is good stats to know but not the rank (it means that if you’re on top in scoring or less conceded your opposition teams are bad)
I hope I make my point
2-your absolute numbers are wrong – I call you to double check
One thing that is clear, JM was going down from his first season to the point he left very consistently!!!
Any ways if you really want to compeer JM and AG you can only do it at the short time AG is running the club and that is the 20 league games that he is the manager with all the games that came between (15 more), compared to JM last 20 games as the manager and all the games that came between (13 more)
I think that this kind of compeer is very very premature but I think you need to see the numbers to understand that it was childish of you to give this blunt manipulated data at this time, by looking at the numbers your theory just fall apart.

The lose to Man U 2 days after JM was sacked is not either of them, even I think it should be under JM list ,but if you put it under AG it won’t do any deference ,
The reason for that is,
in that case I would need to add another league game to JM stats and that would be the lose to Liverpool at Jan 20 2006( to make it 21 league game to compeer.)
So once again CHELSEA jealousy strikes! would you believe it not only have we got the media against us – again! all man u and liv fans anyway. but we now have the worst red card ratio in the premier league. all pretty pathetic red cards also! if a referee sees a chelsea player commit a foul he goes for the red straight away. whereas arsenal and man u get away with everything!! and are allowed 11 men on the pitch. look at man u today 2-0 up at fulham and no referee giving bias decisions. we have got everyone against us. funny how it all starts when we get our strongest team back. WE DESERVE RESPECT!! GO AVRAM!!!!!!!
Top stuff, lads. I’m delighted with that. Fair play to Avram, too.
Exactly the response we needed – hopefully Mr Grant will build on this – don’t worry about hurting players’ feelings, play the best team. COME ON THE BLUES!!!!!
Please, let’s stop thinking that a different coach can take Chelsea to the promise land. You have a quality coach with the team. Give this man (Grant)his props as we say here in the USA, He needs time with the team before you start judging him on his record. Afterall Rome wasn’t built in a day. I for one is confident that he can achieve greater things with the crop of players he has at Chelsea. Let’s stop ranting about and looking for change of Coach in the summer. But who’s paying his salary. I am sure it’s not you or me. Quit caling for him to be changed. New coach would take time as well to put his styles on the team. Avram Grant, you have my support. May the force be with you
A cracking performance from the lads. Just what we needed after a below par performance last week. Praise needs to be given to Avram for showing the bottle to drop the likes of Drogba, Essien and Wright-Philips who were distinctly average last week. Would have been nice to see more of Ballack and Lampard together, but nothing suprises me with ref’s these days
Stop bashing Avram, yes I won’t lie I have said something along the lines of ‘any manager could beat most teams with our squad’ but I do regret it. I am firmly behind Avram Grant; despite the Carling final I don’t believe he’s doing our team any bad. Result today proves he has the nerve to get results and shake up the team when needed. Am expecting good from Wed’s match and my faith has been restored in at least giving Utd and Arsenal a good run for their money in the race for the title, even if we don’t win.. we will be close.
Avram is right. The english media are a disgrace. They always are and always hav been out to get grant ever since he got the job. They never give chelsea a chance, we’ve lost one game and suddenly according to them its the end of our season. Everyone has always had this negative attitude towards chelsea for no reason. also what was the ref thinkin for anelka’s goal and more importantly lampards sending off?
Well I’ll admit it.
I honestly dislike Grant.
But he has proved to me todays that after last weeks disaster he can take the dressing room by the scruff of the neck and choose HIS team. And thats what he did.
Last week Drogba was pathetic, apart from his free-kick he did nothing but roll over on the floor and moan to the offcials and his players.
Grant saw this a booted him out of the team.
Essien did give it his all last week. So in come Makalele.
Mikel was ineffective so Ballack comes in.
And these players today were effective however, you can never question makalele and Ballack scored Chelseas third goal.
we missed Ballack last week, he is key to our success and looks back to his best.
So for once i will say
Well done Grant.
stop being Mr.Nice Guy. get nasty. that is how to be succesful in this league
Great result today just what we needed for AG to answer some critics. He choose a good team and showed us he isnt tactically unaware. Roll on Olympiakos where we should get our Champ League trophy run off to a great start. COME ON THE LADS
Top those that still think this victory is an important victory.
Last season we also won 4-1, so what?? WHU was so poor as I predicted that even with 10 men chelsea went ahead and scored.
YES YES YES, ag must go, this is just a result that can delay the inevitable, if cfc stays with this clown.
Yes and Chelsea will get thru olympiakos, and will get thru Barnsley for the FA cup, so what?? this monkfish still an embarressing as a manager.
WE ALL know that against poor oposition we are tops, so nothing has changed.
How about that pass from Lampardinho for Ballack’s top draw finish??
Claaaaaaaaaass…
It’s not about Grant’s choice of suit or his horror show of a mug, the thing that gets me is that there just isn’t the same belief shining through the players. That rutlessness, tat edge.
This is a regulation win if we want to win titles. Westham are expected to be beaten by any team challenging for the title, so in the greater scheme of things, t isn’t anything to rave about.
It’s the bigger games we have to win, and we’ll end up dropping plenty of points against The Arse and the Mancs, something that would never have happened happen uder JM.
Draw from an out of sorts Livrpool team, Loss against Uited and Arsenal, plus a cup final. Struggling to create a half decent chance in the last four games before today.
He isn’t the man for te job so keep bashing him till he gets out.
He doesn’t have the edigree and doesn’t deserve to be managing us.
Bring in Guus Hiddink after the Euros, get him cmmitted to building Chelsea, revolutionizing the way we play, the academy, the whole mind set.
AGFriend, I hear you brother.
But shouldn’t it be ‘agfoe’?
Thank god. We always play horribly in yellow.
has it occured to anyone since our Russian Owner Abrabi**h is jewish, he will not let Grant go who is also jewish?
I hope Drogba learns from Anelka’s show today…merely shooting,no matter whether u r in scoring position or not, doesn’t make a striker…Anelka is the sort of striker we need who can also contribute in build up in and around box…
im buying a white jersey… it looks amazing
@18. CFC4life
Thats why chelsea should sack AG NOW, so the new coach as got time to
prepare next season.
Yes a good win no doubt. Honestly I watch the match, didnt see anything tactically to change my mind about “the turtle”. I still wxpext AG to be replaced sooner than later, so the new manager can start preparing next season. Frank’s red card was a joke, Maka did worst and not even yellow, so much for the ref’s criteria.
Now wednesday chelsea has another easy game, then will play against Real Madrid, 1st in SB 2nd in Madrid, it is time that we play a top team, but with the AG’s luck we may draw Ferenc, the turkish champions if they go thru.
Lets wait for Wednesday.
@14. israeli
Are thoses stats doen by the Israel Institute of Statistics or by Mossad??
Because if they are israeli they are fake just like AG.
Come back to me lol.
@BC
“Here is Avram Grant, after the match:
I think we played very good, we used our chances in the first half, and made some more. Again, many goals from combinations, so I like it. In the second half, we played with one man short but were very clever and controlled the game. They created not even one chance. We needed to play a little bit differently on the tactical side and I think we did it very well. I cannot judge the players only from one game, good or bad, but I can see in the last five or six months the players gave more than 90 percent good performances. Also, [there have been] a lot of wins, so this makes me happy.
When asked about Drogba, he says:
I will not speak about the players that are not playing. Didier is a great striker, but it can’t be a question of those who are not playing. I give my respect to all the squad, and he has been very good for us in the past, and he will be in the future. My reason for the team that played was that it could win the game. I am thinking of more than one game.”
AG is craving for recognition, the man knows whats round the corner, back to director of football.
Goals from combinations LOL and tactical differences OMG, this guy is very very short sighted, which kind of game did he watch??? unbelievable, I am flabbergasted at his comments, well at least he didn’t say that “before” and the “past” etc etc.
The english press is the same as any other press, when they see a “clown” they take advantage of it. Strange though that “before” and in the “past”
SC sometimes used to give the interviews, since AG is there not once.
I would be interested to hear SC, not that he will rock the boat, but to listen between the lines.
One gone, three to go,AG !
Lots of people are starting to take his side but that means nothing to me,at least, cos he ain’t consistent and will continue to muddle thru season after season if he is to have the driver’s seat that long.
JM vs. AG stats like above ,don’t mean anything , won’t mean anything until Ag’s won a few himself either.
But anyways smashing victory yesterday, well done !
israeli @ 14
your way of comparing statistics is wrong. you can’t compare JM’s last few matches against AG’s first few. we all know JM had no support since AG infiltrated into this happy family like a cancer. when AG was busy backstabbing JM and swindle RA’s money, JM did not have any support and it showed up in the results a bit. Whereas AG has only zero contribution and negative contribution this chelsea team but still his close friend (the owner) supports him.
it’s so funny to see so many people suddenly feeling so positive. this is what we have been doing and we are supposed to do. beating west ham 4-0 at upton park is no big deal. the players were pissed off at the cup result adn showed us their quality yesterday.
grant made no contribution. i’m not going to believe that he did 1% in this result. the image that is etched in my mind is that of grant scratching his bald head looking clueless while terry handing out the team talk. such a fecking disgrace. how can i ever believe that this guys would have an influence in chelsea’s results?
“the players win the matches and AG loses the matches”
great goals by joe cole and ballack. bring on olympiakos!!!

I’m checking with BC whether to delete these comments or to let them remain.
BLUE DEVIL
i expect you to do so after all its quts and not mine but they are in AG favor
so im sure your going to delite them
lol
israeli – I can even publish the image where it shows the IP address is the same for all the comments and were posted in quick succession. You want me to prove that you impersonated and spammed. If you want me to prove it, I will. Be a big man and admit it instead.
KKI @ 13 – that was the best comment of the day! lol!
And israeli, you too are a cheap devilish underhand like your favourite Avram ‘backstadding head scratching’ Grant. i was wondering why people have started supporting clueless Avram BHS Grant? now i love reading those comments again israeli, to appreciate you imagination. lol!
BC can you see if all comments supporting Avram BHS Grant in this blog were done by Israeli in multiple names? Please check that. Quite possible.
why don’t you bring back the image system to prevent these cheaters??
Wod you’ve been busy with those stats Israeli, me and percentages never really got on back in school so I’ll leave it to an expert.
As for people posting under different names, I don’t know who does or does not but I wish they would not do so, I prefer to see the “regulars” posting under the name they usually use rather than switching names.
I see Avram is back to his old tricks talking about “playing with combinations” etc – I wish he wouldn’t! I have no idea what he is blabbering on about.
We beat West Ham last year 4-1 and we beat them this year 4-0 and I didn’t read much into it then and I don’t read much into this result for Grant, ASIDE from the fact it comes luckily for him at a critical juncture when he was under great pressure. Good job we were not facing Arsenal or Man Utd this weekend otherwise I have feeling things might have been very different.
I congratulate Grant on what is a run of the mill win with the gulf in class between these two teams – but it proves nothing. West Ham’s defence and midfield were lax and half asleep today.
I imagine Olympiakos will be brushed aside midweek.
Sorry meant “wow” not “wod” in my previous post – I’m not inventing a new language honest!
This blog is crap. You gus are all writing nonsense. @22, you wrote drogba and mikel played crap in the carling cup final and that essien gave “his all.” You must be blind because drogba was our best player and mikel was so strong in the midfield. He had 100% accurate passes. YAP I SAID IT….. 100% ACCURATE PASSES. how many midfielders in the world can achieve that kind of feat. He was the busy one while lampard and essien was sleeping. Plus that is Essien’s worst ever match for the blues
Moyo – Read the post #38 NOW. Israeli has been posting comments under different names. Impersonator. Who else can think like him lol! You should have made out Moyo!
Israeli – You’re a disgrace, just like the other Israeli at Chelsea (no it’s not Ben Haim or Ben Sahar – they’re are good hearted people).
Now Israeli will disappear for few days (just like he did few days after Avram was brutally exposed in the Carling Cup final). Mark my words.
Blue devil
as said befor its all for real and not mine ,go to this link and read for your self
well noted i should have put it defrently saying its a Quote

Ashton
I didn’t despaired last week (just look back and see)
I don’t think yesterday’s game was the best ever , just like I still think you took carling cup lose totally out of proportion,
My bed for being eager to show you some people think differently, but never the less you can’t take this fact that they are and delete it
Dear Bella
I was trying to read and see all AG interviews after the game and I really couldn’t find any digs or even any glorifications of the game
He said reputedly that he is very happy with the games and that he think the team played good for most of the games in the last 5 month, that’s really what he think
He never said anything about before and after or about combinations,
Please link me if you sow deferent.
i do not see how you can still defend your cheap impersonation. BC, this is unfair if you don’t ban israeli and delete those fake comments under his fake names above. you had banned CALIFORNICATION (remember) for a similar behaviour.
At comment #39, israeli says those comments are not his and at comment #47, he admits nonchalantly. What a CHEATER & LIAR, just like Avram ‘the backstabber’ Grant (i like this expression). Ban him BC.
32. AGfriend
These stats are for real you lowlife
If you know Microsoft excel you can sit on your fat ass and do the same as I did.
The numbers don’t lie

i am disappointed because i wanted to see lampard and ballack play together but lampard had to get sent off!(stupid ref) anyway who said lampard and ballack cant play together because they did amazing yesterday. It looked like baallack was the more attacking one while lampard stayed back and tryed to get the ball up or down the line with his pin point passing. Lampard also attacked when he had the chance to go up with the ball at his feet. Maka provided an amazing defensive cover which is why lampard and ballack had fun attacking together.
@38. Blue Devil
Well blue devil show us, I always thought anything coming from israel is fake lol, except the bird i am s*agging, she agrees with me AG is a backstabber.
I was under the impression that israeli was impersonating the manner of words and writting was very similar.
@BC
please do not ban israeli, I like clowns to lift my spirits, if you can have 2 at the price of 1 let him be here.
52. israeli
LMAO, LOL LOL israeli at least you are improving your humour, I like you coz u r very impartial and your knowledge of football is impressive, BTW israeli make sure i do not get your IP#, we may need to buy a new h/d, it can be expensive.
Now go back to your desk and review those stats, coz they do not match mine, or are they made in Israel?
You see israeli cheat, backstabbers, fakes eventual are caught and exposed, OK i give you some cudos he took the moderator longer to realise you are a fake, than it took the cfc fans to realise the same about AG, even the players call him “the turtle”, now is that because he is slow at learning or because of his neck?
israeli answer me pls.
we= you
AG firend
The amusement is mutual, what was so funny in my post? But if it makes you smile that’s good with me
I don’t think you can handle the stats because of 2 reasons
One is they aren’t helping you hold your theory’s
The 2ed is I guess it would be too damn hard for you to add so many one+ one
Somewhere after 3 you’re going to lose it, lol
It’s very much known when you have nothing to argue you start with your filthy mouth
Any ways if I felt you really could check my numbers and see they are right or tell me where they are wrong I would seriously answer you.
Just read this article about chelsea “Grant snubbed by players” author Duncan Castles.
“There remains considerable discontent among the Chelsea squad about preparations for the final. Having witnessed Abramovich address Michael Essien about errors in his play after a Champions League group game this season, some players believe the owner influences team selection and strategy through his deputy Eugene Tenenbaum. Grant partially denied this on Friday, saying: ‘Roman Abramovich has never even seen me about one player that he needs to play, never said to me anything about picking the team.”
Well AG, RA may not tell you waht players to play, it is easier for RA to delegate his thoughts, so AG may be right when he says that RA never told him(directly) to include a player in the team.
If true, and i have no reason not to believe the article, after all it is something that the fans all know about, we have the reason for the 4-0 bashing of WH,even if 50% true this article reinforces that the players know that AG is a fake.
NOPE HE MUST GO the sooner the better, so the new manger have time to prepare next season with the players, the new manager chooses.
it is here.

AG firend
You’re back to your blla blla blla again?
What if I was posting here that your ugly as hell, you would say I never sow you to say you’re ugly
Then I will say I have the feeling you are (I sure do)
That’s about the same as 90% of your posts
No facts ,rumors after rumors
@ 56 the site dose not work. BC do u think u can find the highlights for me. its killing me.
bluefan nr:1 – Here it is, especially for you!. Enjoy!
All those who are under illusion that AG will be sacked should understand the following: RA is Russian, even though Jewish, but Russian one, and Russians love doing things that annoy everyone else, especially when they can afford it. The more people are annoyed with AG, the more RA will be determined to keep him as the Manager, even if he has to bring 10 other coaches to “help”… Those that dislike this perspective will have to accept it at the end. It is part of the way Russian’s manage their investments… Stop complaining and enjoy the game…
@66. KKI
In that case Roman will suffer himself by boring football and trophyless seasons. At least I’m sure that Grant will never win the Champions League – Roman’s only dream.
good performance by the men in blue!!
up the blues… cheers!!
My starting line-up for the Olympiakos game:
—————Chech—————-
Belletti—Terry—Carvalho—A.Cole
———————Essien———
————-Ballack—————-
—Joe Cole————–Lampard—-
————————————
————-Drogba——-Anelka—-
@Isreli
You think you are the only smart ass here trying to send AG support through different names and now comparing him with jose.You talking about manipulated stats to BC however your own comparision only you can validate.. not me.
These 13 games of jose include champions league 2nd round , quarter final and semi final (6 of 13 ) and FA cup final and semi finals however grants fa cup and carling cup initial round matches and CL league games. What a comparision !! reallly smart ass.
AG 20 league matches show only 1 defeat .wow !! It should be two against man utd and arsenal. CHEAT !!
League points should be 44 for AG else we would have been at par with man utd in points.
isreli grow up and leave these cheating habits . Be a man.
@66. KKI
in that case i save my season ticket money.
Thanx BC but this site dose not work either :S.
