Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Chelsea play with absolutely no confidence or creativeness, what the fuck has happened to this team?!?
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat What a fucking disaster, Ancelotti better be gone. I just hope we can hold on in Europe. That was the worst game Chelsea have played in a long time. 0 creativity. 0 finishing. Just pure shit.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat what is the current stretch now, 1 win iin 9 games or something? worst epl run in 10+ years?
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Roman should force him to adjust the lineup then. I hate owners getting involved with game day stuff and Roman doesn't, but there has to be a change. Lineup or Carlo.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat go back to the diamond. I hate this 2 winger shit. No more ferreira. no mikel and essien in the same lineup. cech bosingwa ivanovic terry cole essien ramires malouda lampard anelka drogba
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat He has been the worst player on the team since he got there.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat No more Malouda or Anelka either, Bosingwa working his way into that category as well
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat I dont know whats wrong with Malouda. I hate Anelka but I dont know who else I would put up top next to Drogba.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat need to keep Kalou off the fucking field too guy blows as many chances as Anelka does
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat I know it's Ipswich but the team needed something like this today. Might be a springboard to a decent run of form...
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat switched my allegiance to Chelsea. I'm all about big money.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Should probably be a citeh fan then. Chelsea doesn't spend like they used to.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Solid victory yesterday. Hopefully getting Luiz will help us down the stretch. I bet whoever we give Benfica for him turns out to be a beast though.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat We had an immediate need for a CB and got one for both this season and the next 5 or 6. Thrilled with the buy. Hoping we can get a striker but it doesn't sound like we're going to get the funds.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Can't believe I woke up for that shit-sandwich this morning. Kalou saved our asses and I think we roll them at the Bridge in a couple weeks. Unfortunately it just adds one more match to an already congested fixture list. As far as transfers go, I could do without Luiz but, depending on Alex's injury status we are in desperate need of a Central defender. I'm more interested in a Striker and would love to get the Tranny. They want a ton of cash and I don't want to give up Sturridge but he's a fantastic talent, that's still young and is Premier League tested.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Sorry you guys got caught in our Vortex of Mediocrity. We see that shit every single week, you guys are just the latest victim.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Is it just missing Cahill? I've always kinda liked Everton (Blue colors + hatred of Liverpool) and have been disappointed in their form this year...
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat We have ZERO threats up top. None of our strikers are worth a damn. Cahill being gone just exaggerates that problem. We can play well enough or bad enough to draw each and every week depending on our level of competition.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat enjoy his 8-10 (healthy) games a season. the rest will be marred by pulling up lame, the other 20 will be sat out.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge joins Bolton on loan until the end of the season, he will link up with Johan Elmander, who stays!
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Whole lotta other teams are extremely butthurt today...
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Wait till he gets injured playing for Spain, then the club rehabs him in time for the next Fifa date for him to get hurt playing for Spain again. It's like clockwork.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Really glad these deals got done in January since they won't count against the new financial rules.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat We tried to spend over 100 million in January Chelsea failed in Lukaku bid
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat That's fucking absurd. We already overpaid for Luiz.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat We overpaid for one player on Monday and it wasn't David Luiz.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Chelsea's annual wage bill has soared to £172.5 million - almost £40 million more than the next highest payers Manchester City. The figure for the year ending June 2010 is revealed in Chelsea's full annual accounts lodged with Companies House on Friday and shows a significant increase on the previous year. In 2009, the club spent £165.6 million on wages but that sum included pay-offs worth £12.6 million to sacked manager Luiz Felipe Scolari and his assistants. Excluding the pay-offs, the rise in wages is £19.5 million and represents a 12.7% increase. Manchester City's wage bill is £133.3 million, Manchester United's £131.7 million and Arsenal are fourth with £110 million spent annually on salaries, according to their most recent accounts. Chelsea's wages are 82% of their turnover - more healthy than City's 106% - but way off United's level of 46% and Arsenal's of 49%. The figures also confirm that Chelsea reported losses of £70.9 million compared to £44.4 million the previous year. The club indicated earlier this week that they believe they will halve their losses in the next financial year. The latest accounts also reveal that Chelsea will be liable for £3.8 million extra in National Insurance contributions if HM Revenue and Customs succeeds in its legal case that image rights payments should be taxed as income. If that is proved, the players themselves would be liable to pay any tax individually in relation to image rights.
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Huge day for Chelsea with both United losing and the Gooners dropping points (in hilarious fashion might I add). With a win tomorrow, I could see us getting back into the title race with a relatively easy back 9. United Home and Away Home against Spurs and Citeh After that our next toughest games are either @ Everton or @ Fulham
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Thought this article was pretty interesting as it applied to Chelsea and FFP. http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2011/02/01/revealed-why-chelsea-dont-fear-uefas-ffp-rules-wages-dont-count-for-first-two-years-010205/
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat Wolves did us a favor, but the only we way we are back in the title race is if we take all 6 points from United
Re: *Official Chelsea Thread*--Get ready for the repeat United still have Citeh Us @ Us @ Pool @ Arsenal If we take 4 points out of 2 games I think we have a great shot.
