    <laugh> i Guess so.

    I do agree with you a little bit anyway. Tevez has played much better since joining you. I suppose he's a bit like Forlan. Can't take the pressure of playing for the big team.

    Typical knee jerk reaction, Pele was better than Best for the very reason that he never pissed away his skill or let people down. Best may well have gone on to be the very Best but he did not because he was a hopeless drunk who exchanged his talent for a bottle. How John Terry comes into your mind over this just shows everybody what a complete arsehole you really are!

    John Terry cost Chelsea a European Cup. George Best actually scored a goal in a European Cup final win. See below:

    John Terry let you down very badly. His desire to be the big hero, "Mr Chelsea", winning the Champions League with the winning penalty, compromised your best chance of becoming part of Europe's elite. He should have let a more capable player take the kick, but he was too selfish.

    Didn't George Best score two goals in that win, overshadowing Eusebio in the process? And win the Ballon D'Or in 1968? Seems like potential pretty well fulfilled to me - just a shame he went off the rails soon after that.

    Well, one goal (Charlton got 2 and Kidd got 1), but yeah, he didn't exactly underachieve did he? Just burnt out too quickly.

    <doh> My bad - I knew it was one of Best and Charlton who scored a brace in that game. I wonder, would Ginge claim Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi failed to fulfil their potential if they retired tomorrow?

    John Terry didn't cost Chelsea winning the champions league at all! The penalty takers are elected before the kicks are taken making your banal comment "His desire to be a big hero, Mr Chelsea" Laughable. Terry elected to take a kick in the absence of other players who did not have the bottle. If anything he is to be commended in being large enough to take on the responsibility. Had Drogba not been sent off foolishly, Terry wouldn't have been anywhere near the penalty end game. Irrespective of what you say John Terry remains a hero and Mr Chelsea by all Chelsea fans.

    But as your intent as being as foolish as the other idiot John Terry & George Best are planets apart as one had the world at his feet but preferred the 'Bottle'. and the other has enjoyed a long & successful career by having 'Bottle'

    See You Next Tuesday <laugh>

    By the way did I mention that Chelsea won the double?

    He did! If he'd have taken his pen properly you'd be a proper club now!

    More fool you lot then <ok>

    And one won the European Footballer of the Year and the European Cup, the other led England to missing the Euros in 2008 and missed a penalty which will define his career.

    Domestic doubles are old hat now. Even Arsenal have done a couple! Unless the big prize is in there, you're pissing in the wind <ok>
