It does not need a Jose Mourinho’s team to ‘kill Chelsea’. Barnsley just did it. A very strong Chelsea team were beaten by a team that is 33 places below them. Simple as that. We were just three matches away from defending our trophy. In a matter of few weeks, we are out of both domestic cups. Barnsley thoroughly deserved their win. Full credit to their players and their manager. I wish them all the luck to go on to win the trophy.

We started with a very very strong team. The intention was very clear by the team selection. This game was not taken lightly. Grant wanted to win this game. There were no reserve players in the starting line-up as such. There were no youngsters either. We are the defending champions and we need this trophy back. That was the message I got from the team selection for this FA Cup quarter final.

We played our typical 4-3-3 with a confused Anelka as the centre forward, right winger and the left winger. It took just a few minutes to realise that Barnsley could well be a headache. As the game progressed, I realised that they were more than a headache. They wanted to win this game and they did not think of sitting back defending Chelsea attacks. They came at us boldly and played with absolutely no fear.

I would put the blame on the coach more than the players because the buck simply stops at the manager, doesn’t it? I don’t think our players played poorly, some of them were but not all. To be honest, the spirited Barnsley bunch made us look poor. Grant was once again slow to read the game and unable to influence the game with this live match decisions and involvements.

We were very predictable in the way we played. I don’t think Barnsley were mentally stretched to undo the Chelsea attacks. Sure we had a good number of shots but most of them were simply poops, easily blocked and calmly saved. The Barnsley keeper did not even have to make a good save. We did not even test him for all the number of shots. Poops.

The funny thing to say is, Barnsley attacked better, with more imagination and variety. They dribbled with ease and confidence that we were completely taken aback. I wonder if the Chelsea coaching team watched the previous matches of Barnsley in this competition and in the coca cola championship. It did not look like we had a plan. It looked like the Chelsea players were unpleasantly surprised by the quality of play of Barnsley.

I’m not going over the individual player performances. It now looks like such a waste of time. When Portsmouth defeated Man Utd this evening, I was completely convinced that this FA Cup belongs to Chelsea. There would be no Arsenal, Liverpool or Man Utd. It would have been a relatively easy route to winning the trophy. Now, we’ve made a mess of the domestic competitions.

I would accept losing in domestic competitions if:

(i) we are playing youth and reserves
(ii) we lose at the earlier stages of the competition
(iii) we dominate the opponent and we simply unlucky not to win
(iv) we are not serious about this competition
(v) we have better chances of winning something else in the season

I too strongly believe Roman wants to win everything on sight. I wonder what happens after this defeat. Will Avram Grant be given the boot? Are we going to go through another round of players infighting, coach-player quarrels, Roman’s stabilisation visit etc. How would he be feeling? We have a fully fit squad but for Petr Cech, we are playing better as per Avram Grant, we had just scored 7 goals in two matches and suddenly we can’t find the net against a championship team? And it wasn’t even a stoppage time heart stopper like they scored against Liverpool. They scored at the 66th minute and there were about 25 minuted to weave attacks and score one goal. We couldn’t even take the match to a replay at Stamford Bridge.

After the match Avram Grant said:

It is a big disappointment, a quarter-final we lost. I think first I need to congratulate Barnsley. They played very well today, and showed a good spirit. For us it was not a pitch we can play quality football on. In the first half we played not good, second half we started very well, very quick, and created chances, but then conceded a goal and we couldn’t score so they won. [A long ball game] is not my idea, we tried to play. In the second half we played good until we conceded a goal, which was their first attack of the half, but again I give a lot of credit to Barnsley.

These things happen. Man United lost at home to Portsmouth, and we played away against a team that beat Liverpool away. I don’t know but I’m very disappointed. I wanted them to play but they are injured so they didn’t play, but we played with a team good enough to win this game. We lost the Carling Cup and then we played two great games, 4-0 and 3-0. We lost the game today, we are not happy from this but it has happened to all four big teams this year. Maybe this year the Cup is not for the big teams. We move on and look forward, we have two competitions to fight for. You can say it yes, since I came to Chelsea this is my most disappointing day, [but] we have a good team and look to the future.

Now Grant makes us believe that this is just another result. He takes shield under the fact that none of the big four teams are not there in the cups. This is a very cheap defeatist mentality. I don’t want my Chelsea coach to sound like this! Also he simply can’t say this because the other teams in big four did not have friendly owners with deep pockets. When Grant has all the support and the money, he should deliver. No excuses. He got all the players he wanted to buy in January. I don’t think many teams spent like we did in January. He got all his players fit and ready. He even had the luxury of not having to play two of his January signings. And here is a team that we should beat with our second team with ease. In a difficult pitch, we should have played much more in the air, that’s sensible smart tactics. It’s much better than losing to Barnsley. I don’t understand why Grant considers the playing in the air so bloody inferior?

Why does he have to talk about the 4-0 against West Ham and 3-0 against Olympiakos here? Why is he saying ‘but it happened to all four big teams’? What does he mean? We will play another couple of great games and lose when it matters? This defeat was the very reason why I did not weigh those big wins so heavily. I always felt that, on the whole, we are slowly losing our resilience and our collective character. The killer instinct that was a mark of Chelsea has been waning. Such a defeat was always coming. You need to lose only two matches to go out the two domestic competitions and we’ve lost those.

From Guardian, Trizia Fiorellino, Chair, Chelsea Supporters’ Group had said this:

It was awful. Grant has changed a team of winners into 11 strangers. It shows our desperation that when we needed a goal we had to bring on Pizarro. Did their keeper have a save to make? You have to be worried now - the players have a huge lack of confidence. The West Ham result was papering over the cracks - they were woeful, whereas Barnsley, like Spurs, were up for it and beat us. Abramovich is going to have to face up to the fact that he has made a big mistake with Grant and get in someone new to salvage our season.

Finally, something to cheer about. The BC Shout thingy is a roaring success. Thanks to the guys who turned up and livened up the BC Shout - live match chat today. It was fun and interesting. And you don’t need to login or anything. Just click the BC Shout banner on the top of the sidebar and you’re in (ok Moyo?). Also please allow it a second or two to load. You can still go there and read the live match chat, just for fun!

I await the champions league draw. Let’s stop kidding ourselves about still being in the premier league and champions league. I want Chelsea to be handed out the most difficult draw of the lot and I want to see what we’re made of. No more easy draw and premature undeserved celebrations. If we win the tie against the toughest opponent, it will surely improve our confidence and belief. If we lose, we can’t complain if we aren’t good enough. Finally, one positive feeling is that at least we did not lose to Barnsley at Stamford Bridge!

Is it time to take up the petition again?

@Barnsley : they deserved a win…. and right now its time to CHANGE OUR MANAGER!!! Give BACK OUR SPECIAL ONE!!

A day when we deserve to have a manager not an idiot.

The players are to be held responsible for sucha shit result
and not Avram Grant
grant isnt to be blamed here…the guys on the pitch just didnt perform…joe cole ..bridge and ballack were the only guys who were good..even bridges crosses sometimes were bad…swp,malouda and anelka were terrible..essien wasnt to be seen much..i dnt remember swp having a single shot on the goal and he was playing upfront…anelka was looking like some old man …and malouda always reminds me of the villain in 300!!i cant think what grant could have done better…he brought in kalou who was not upto the mark either..and pizzaro was well pizzaro!!

just only one thing to say …. sack the f***er
now we are not only losing to big teams and in big games but we also lose to teams from lower leagues
we wasted our chance to wine another trophy while we could have been the only team from the big four to be left in the competition…!!!!!
now is he going to say that we have two other trophies to win as if he is capable of winning shit
this season is officially OVER

why grant couldnt use one unused sub?

anyways very poor performance… as i said earlier was expecting it but thought wll win

last season when we defeated arsenal at league cup final next 1 month showed them out of every competition they were playing.. looks the same story is gonna repeat just that now we are at the receiving end.

I’m so mad, not even upset at the way we played this game. You say Avram isn’t to blame, however it is his job to fire up the players before the game and at half time. He just isn’t cut out to be manager and this is the nail in the coffin for me. The sooner he walks or gets sacked, the better. We are playing rubbish football with no real flair and grinding out results.

I’m glad Barnsley won in the end… had we scored it would of been such an injustice to a team who showed real spirit and fighting desire.

new records are bein made!!

Chelsea had lost to lower division opposition in the FA Cup for the first time since 1995, and the first time since 1992 without a penalty shoot-out.

A poor poor performance. Cech would have saved that goal but that doesn’t change the fact that the team had absolutely no drive up front. Frank is probably kicking himself for not playing. SWP has been given one chance too many…at best, he deserves to be a late-game sub. Send him off to Derby County and let him help them lose.

Who can you blame but Roman for this mess…it’s his team to destroy I suppose.

@2, Why is Grant not to be blamed? Any manager who cannot motivate and inculcate the spirit of togetherness and determination into his team - especially against a lower side - is not fit to be a manager. Chelsea has not lost to a lower league opposition since 1982 but now that’s all over. I remember mourinho almost getting sacked last season in the fa cup because we drew against wycombe. If Avram doesn’t get sacked this time around for losing to barnsley, then something is wrong with roman and the board. Barnsley played better, attacked better, defended better and had a better manager. Their coach can win the fa cup with chelsea…of course he can…. he’s already doing that with barnsley. This could have been the easiest fa cup ever for us with man utd arsenal and liverpool all out; even mourinho never had it as easy as this but this old israelite illiterate we have as a coach has messed it all up.
He got his formation wrong. Where was lampard or mikel…. mikel….mikel…mikel. Mikel hasn’t been playing in over 3 matches now. Mourinho never did that, that young boy is the future of our midfield. When did mourinho bench for more than a match since that carling cup final, he holds the ball and passes and tackles and gives us possession. He sent makelele to the second team, but this stupid buffoon can’t see all that. I would have played mikel for malouda, sidwell for essien, lampard for swp, with bllack and j cole still on and we could have easily won this game.
Mourinho would have won with only di santo up front. Di santo won’t have to score coz the midfield will. Who remembers last season in the fa cup when we were striking with sahar and sinclair against macclesfield and we won… it was either 6-1 or 5-1… even mikel scored a stunner in that match. That’s how mourinho would have played today to ‘disgrace liverpool.’

The sooner Grant is sacked, the better it will be for us. We need to start preparing for the next season; get a new manager who will take us place and restore our former glory and as i said some weeks earlier, our season is over. We are not winning anything this season.

What if we face barcelona in the champios league….lol

2 gone
2 to go

i think its a loss creditted to ten cate and steve clark as grants job is to just announce the first 11 isnt it? get lost grant!! and take SWP with u

SACK GRANT ALREADY ROMAN!!! Watch it we are not going to win nothing this year….

we have to get rid of this joker next season we might fall to a top 8 team poor performance i am ashamed i to say i support Chelsea and it hurts to say that

Hi guys,

The game wasnt shown live here in UAE..its being shown recorded tomorrow..anyway i am happy i didnt see the game..it would have been too depressing seeing a full strength Chelsea team lose to lower league opposition

We had the chance to easily defend the CC n the FA cup..but we screwed up big time..

RA..please take notice…We are going DOWN the hill..not UP

That was embarrassing. Just when Grant seemed to have done something right, he goes and fowls it up. There’s not turning back now; he must be sacked.

Where do I start criticizing? The team selection… Malouda, Joe Cole, and SWP all playing in this game. How can you play three wingers in a 4-3-3??? Ferreira has played very well as well of late, and Belletti this match wasted cross after cross. Makelele would have controlled this game like he did against Olympiakos, yet he was nowhere to be seen. And worst of all, the substitutions!! Kalou should have started, first of all, and bringing Pizarro in was like red-carding Belletti…

All I could think of when they scored was, this is a sad day for Chelsea. With AG I really didn’t believe my team could come back and win. With JM we could always believe, and we rarely, if ever, lost this sort of match, even being a goal down.

Even sadder, there are no managers available that can take us to the next step. There really aren’t.

No JM, no trophies. It’s a sad thing!

GRANT YOU CANNOT SMILE YOU CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH GO HOME LEAVE THE BLUES BEFORE THEY END.UP A CHEAP RUBBISH SIDE
GRANT GO AWAY FOR GOD GOD GOD SAKE

I finally return to see a match and Grant serves up this rubbish. What a bloody fat fool.

I just cant shed tears. I believe Chelsea board will have a close look at this result and decide in favour of the loyal fans. The best team and a good coach won. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE QUICKLY.

Very unfortunate. We just couldn’t break them down. They put 11 players in front of the goal and it looked like a damn pinball machine in their five-yard box.s

It’s a sad day when we seem to have screwed up a perfect chance (see: ManU loss). But if there’s anything positive to be taken from today, it’s the fact that we can devote more time and energy to the EPL and the CL. United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all in the same boat. Well, maybe not Liverpool…

It scares me that Chelsea are only in contention for two trophies this year, and neither are likely to end up in our cabinet. Not a single piece of silverware for Grant? Roman would never imagine it.

He will be gone soon enough. Pizarro late in the game? Sigh.

barnsley beat us hands down. did i think we are not being feared. fecking hell, we’re being ripped apart. what will happen if we play barcelona or even man utd in the champs league?

grant’s excuses ran out in the end of january. he got the players he wanted. he got all players fit and available. he got his bosses supporting him. he loses two cups in two weeks to weaker opponents.

when JM won the domestic cups with us, we beat liverpool, man utd, arsenal the three finals. looks like a long time back. bring back jose. please for gods sake.

hahahaha!!!! Barnsley is it???

lets move on boys, whats the next match? just sit back and endure!!!

I did say that if Chelsea remain in the running for the last three trophies by 12 April then Grant should stay on as the manager. The win against West Ham was great. But, I did warn that the win did not put any silverware in the box. Whipping Olympiakos was cool. But they were a fairly weak side so I said nothing. This was a cup loss to a team that we should have also beaten 4-0. A loss to Man U, Gooners, Spurs, or even Anfield would have been bad. But BARNSLEY?
Roman Abromovich owes an appology to every Chelsea fan for this season. Had Jose Mourinho been that rotten of an apple (for winning two prems, two carlings, an FA cup and shield), he should have either been fired last summer or held on for this season and then fired. If Abromovich wanted another manager, he should have taken the time to select a quality, qualified man for the job. No, I don’t expect JM to come back. But, Grant is simply not the man to lead this team.
Other than the fact that we have to face the likes of Derby, Sunderland, and a couple of other weaker teams, is there any reason to believe Chelsea can sneak up on Arsenal and Man U and take the prem? With the teams left in the Champions League, who can we look at as being a soft competitor? Indeed, it isn’t impossible for Chelsea to fall from the top four.
Grant has to do a lot of convincing for anyone to belive that silverware is possible this season. 12 April may be too late for the team. Clark as caretaker manager is starting to sound really good to me.

this stupid grant’s post match comments really make my blood boil. either he wants to justify that this defeat what we exactly wanted at this stage or tries to say that manu, liv and arse lost so we can also lose. such a loser he is.

he is not the man to leaf chelsea. he is a disgrace. he is slowly making us a bloody laughing stock.

under JM, we were a european power rivalling barcelona. and today, we are a big joke. we are going downhill. players would soon like to leave. new players may not want to join. it could be a disaster if grant is not sacked soon.

can someone call john terry about this? i won’t speak so much when i know i have waste of space like this toad as the manager.

I have never seem them perform. SWP is just too awful. In the end, he was unable to run also. Can’t see a team full of stars failing against a championship side. If Man U lost, at least I felt bad for them because the referee was very bad . They made a zillion chances .

Today I did even find one good chelsea effort on goal . And our 15 million signing , this winter , he was playing a role of winger .

I just can’t blame Grant alone.

I pray to God, please give us Man U , Arsenal , Liverpool or Barcelona for the champions league. Want to see us trashed so that R.A knows where we stand.

Barnsley was definitely a better side tonight. There’s no doubt about it. Starting kalou would have been better, but still the starting lineup was pretty strong. Anelka looked clueless throughout the game, Malouda lacked the zeal, defensively we were quite weak though we had everyone and I expected to see ivanovic in the right back position and anelka and sheva up front.

It looked like we were just defending because they were attacking us most of the time and if we continue to play the same way we won’t make it through the CL or the EPL.

Everybody were quite optimistic about this match and thought that we would be thrashing them at least 2-0 but instead they thrashed us. At first it was a quadruple every chelsea fan wanted and later it became a treble and now it’s only a double and that too is doubtful.

If Mourinho was sacked for not winning the EPL and for getting knocked from CL then Roman should go for Grant’s head and sack him as soon as possible. I have been against him since day 1. Its quite disgusting to watch him on the stands and his substitutions are insanely mind blowing, even a 15 yr old would know whom to substitute. I still don’t understand how Roman could replace TSO with Grant. What’s great about this guy anyways ? Ofcourse his track record is good but he is quite poor tactically.

People thought we were back to form as soon as we beat West ham and olympiacos, both teams were mediocre opponents and olympiacos were without their top players. If Chelsea continues this way I doubt whether we would finish in the top four this season and I hope this guy doesn’t ruin our home record because we would be facing ManU and Arsenal soon.

I still don’t understand why we need so many players in a team and also why he still uses the 4-3-3 formation when he has a good choice of fit players and TSO didn’t have the liberty, the situation was quite bad last season with many injured players during christmas. Also Drogba, Sheva, Sidwell, Ben-Haim should be sold next season especially Drogba (talking crap about Chelsea all the time. We don’t need a player who does not like Chelsea and states it publicly) his form is also diminishing and his market value would decrease if this goes on. If you have noticed Sheva never publicly states that he does not like Chelsea though he rarely starts and he is a world class player and once feared striker. He’s humble and tries to fight for a starting place(many still think he does not like chelsea but the thing here is he doesn’t state this publicly unlike Drogba).

I strongly believe Sheva, Ballack, Lampard and Anelka can play together. Hope to see a better Chelsea in the coming weeks.

another embarassment not gd enough with exception of j cole the only cunt that was bothered swp tried but aint gd enough get a fkin manager and some fkin pride i will face the second ribbin in weeks nogd without lampard n drogs n thay wiil prob fug off shame on these 100 k a week prats well played barnsley u deserved it

This season we will be without Silverware, first time in the last 4 years.
If I was Roman , I would sell of Droba, Maluda, SWP. Don’t want people who cry every fifteen days or who simply don’t perform. 16 MM for Maluda could have been spend on a Nani or Anderson or even Ryan Babel. Maluda has no pace at all.

even if I don’t get any silverware, I would invest in kids probably sinclair, di santos by playing them regularly and buying young ones like lulinha .

Next season, he is prepared to spend 100 MM.I wish he invest these in our youth academies instead of buying Villa’s, Amauri , who will again find difficult to play. At one point, he might get feed up and stop this funding and probably sell Chelsea. Even the blackburn and fulham match was better than the Chelsea one.

Pathetic is just one word.

I dunno why we all blaming Grant, he is actually innocent yu know. Did this guy ever said I wanna to be/become a Chelsea manager in my life time. Man he was doing some xyz dummy role @ Portsmouth ‘n’ living peacefully. Its all our brain-stormy, honourable owner Roman who had chosen this guy considers it as a master-stroke. Temme when some billionaire gives yu arnd 2-3 million pounds as wages juss to read his transcripts in the media and to name da starting 11 randomly, would yu deny that honestly? dats what Grant also did and dat wat any human would do. So stop blaming Grant, he himself knew dis role is beyond his capabilities, instead blame Chelsea Management and our owner Roman for all disasters dat all happening to us!

i dun understand what da fuk Chelsea management thinking? Give some respect to this league (which many say best league in da world including me) dat it deserves, EPL is not yur fekin Play-Station piece. In my honest opinion according to Grant’s CV, he is not even deserved to lead League-II relegation zone team. or Chelsea giving some top level mgmt training to Grant? I dunno but I dun blame Grant for all the scenes dat happening wid Chelsea. I beg yu Roman, please consider/respect Chelsea is a honourable football club @ Fulham road and so many Generations lived and living as its their soul, as their joy, as their culture, as their breath. So pls dun destroy their soul just for yur fun!

j cole only one 2 try swp not gd enough with lamps and drog gone nxt season what will appen new mnger reqd i cant go ouy 4 ribbins again twice in 2 weeks u scum players should give barnsley a months wages each they av pride wp u tykes

Our campain will be done by April 8th . On March 23, Arsenal will kill us at Stamford Bridge ..

I am sure we will get Liverpool or Man U or Arsenal in Champions League and our hopes will be done by April 8.

We will be fighting for a Champions league spot with Liverpool & Everton.

Grant is soo gone at the end of the season
Us chelsea fans + abramovich need to get on our knees and beg joe to come back.
Today’s loss could have been easily sorted by playing a diamond formation, taking off swp and playing drogba instead. Look at all those chances swp had to bring the ball down in the box, make a break, have the shot. Drogba would have made something out of those chances. Malouda was in good form in lyon but is struggling somewhat. I think the defence was alright but lampard and drogba should have played instead of malouda and swp.

Midfield_Decider, Joe Blue, and all other Mourinho haters; was it worth getting rid of Mourinho for this? I know, your arguements against Jose’s tactics and lack of a mind for attacking football. Yes, you all described Chelsea under him as playing “boring” football. But, is this type of “beauty” any better than what we had?
Okay, y’all might be thinking that if Chelsea wins the CL and Prem, then I’ll have my foot in my mouth. But tell me why should I have any reason to believe either trophy is a possibility?
In time, Roman may hire a top manager and the team will play and win trophies with a sexy sleek style. But, admit it, sacking mourinho in exchange for grant was the worst thing to happen to the club.

Anyway, before I read the blogs, I must say this is the result of playing far too many games with under achievers teams.
I am absolutely disgusted at this result, speacially as the manager knew the result from manU v ports, this cup was made for cfc to keep.
Anyway, I rather stay short of analysing Avram Grant, for the simple reason you guys know my opinion about this monkfish, so called “manager”.
Again JM openedd his mouth, with precise “moment”, and wether u believe me or not he got an email from me.
The fact that we lost against weak teams, is the law of probabilities, you can only win so many, ok we had chances, but there is something I have been noticing the players do not play for the manager, recall the interview with kalou, he (AG) is different, so on and so on…. .
Ok I can not blame AG for not winning this game and for that matter to win a troffy, at least to bury the JM ghost, once and for all, after he had so many directly and indirectly digs at a winner, so for that matter I am going to be like him (AG). Speak my mind.
This most poor, an unachievable manager, biggest back stabbing (of the most despicable way), guys I am so annoyed that I cant even think, this cup was there for takings.
I no longer go on and blame AG, whats the point? anyone, fansd, directors,sub directors, ROMAN ABRAVONITCH, peter kenyon, buck etc etc , they all knowthis guy is like a rocket can go any where, however the PLAYERS do know , DO KNOW, he isa FAKE.
No doubht , when he (AG) speaks to RA, he will say you know Roman, I have not got the loyalty of the players, because they are JM players, however if you open your cheque book, as you didnt to JM last Xmas, I am sure I vcan deliver the type of football you want to see.
Yes bey Kaka, Robinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, all the other very top playersin the world, the type that do not need any motivation to win a game, and yes Roman I am your man.
….. I must carry on next page I think,I am furious guys allow me time

……. And so on, ok I believe an army, or for that matter any football team wishes to win, however you always need a specialist to direct and motivate the “workers”.
Unfortenatlely this guy maybe a “peacefull man” but I rather have a “war a man” and win troffies than a pathetic man that “believes” he is in the same league as AW, SAF, SE etc etc , not to mention the continental managers.
Ok I had enough, I have a ticket to sell for the FA cup final, thats I was confident to go there when JM was the manager.
I will have a message to RA next blog

Thisnis a message to the CFC directors , ot to the ones t hat rtead the blogs and confide to the directors.
It is time to take the fans’ opinions seriouly. RA took away the most successful manager in history of our beloved team, I know you are a Russian, and love to deffy the majority oppinion, I know Russians love chess, however you are playing with emotions with the “fan club” Mr RA it is time that you think, however much money you have invested,and WE ARE all gratefull for that, that next time you choose a MANAGER, have A POLL and ask the fans that buy the season tickets, wether you should change or replace the manager.
I understand that you are carrying the DEFICIT of cfc, and as a fan I am EXTREMELLY grateful for that, but for us fans the most important things is to WIN troffies.
You have replaced a WINNER, however liked or disliked , but a WINNER with a pathetic,unable,dispecable character individual, please TAKE notice that 95% of the fans know your mistake.
I do not want to bring back JM, as I do not believe 2nd returns are successful, but look at Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and why NOT Britain for managers, there are plenty with the NOUS to be successful, however consult the cfc fans, they know more about football when sleeping that you know about the next oil barrel price, so Mr RA be DECENT and HONEST, JM maybe was getting bigger than the club, howver DO NOT FOLLOW his example, just be the OWNER and opena department of synchronised swimming in chelsea and move YOUR GFRIEND there as a manager.
I had enough.
2 gone
2 to go
just wait.

sugar I am so annoyed that Im isspelled terribly

hahaha…

we need a playmaker so badly

playmaker???????????????
shit we need badly a decent manager
with the players in the team we need
a manager, just a manger not MONKFISH

What’s Up fans, We were Disgraced by Bansley today, Thanks to Avam Grant, We have never been humilated this way before. First it started with Hotspur then Bansley, Avam Grant is not worthy to be a Coach, We really need to replaced him as soon as possible. Avam Grant must Go !, We need a better Coach, Someone Like Jose M, He we always remain in my heart forever and for always, I miss him very much, Avam grant must Go, He is too doll.

We were disgraced today by Barnsley. Thanks to Avam Grant. Can someone Pls Kill Avam Grant for me before it’s to late. He Must Go or Die, We don’t want Avam Grant Anymore, He is very doll, He looks like a frog. We need a replacement Coach
