You still have a decent squad otherwise you wouldn't top of the league with 3 games left! It's Suarez and Sturridge that have done it for you really. You've just outscored lots of opponents.
It's actually pure comedy how much he gets under your skin. You literally hang on his every word you complete MELT.
It's all a bit of a non issue for me. With 2 champions league games either side of the Liverpool game there will always be issues of recovery, prep time etc. Just glad we are still in the hunt at this time of year. We got the benefit of the 8 day gap this time so not as much of a factor as 2012 where it was a 6 day gap. Getting a little bored of hearing all the excuses. We've had a few decisions go against us in recent weeks, disallowed goals, pen decisions etc but ultimately we should have beaten these sides (Villa, Palace and Sunderland) regardless of the odd decision here or there. These are the main reasons we wont win the title and ultimately we only have ourselves to blame. When you are scraping past teams rather than putting them to the sword, it is inevitable you'll get caught out now and then. Looks like Ramires is going to get another ban. This is another one who needs to learn how to lose a game without losing his head - achieves nothing. 1-2 key signings and we have a great shot next year and hopefully we can get the C.L this year too
Can't stand Liverpool but fair play, what you are about to achieve (even without European football) is nothing short of miraculous in the modern era. Ditto Atletico if they hold on.
"and hopefully we can get the C.L this year too" I certainly wouldn't put it past you We know Jose is desperate to match Paisley's CV of 3 European cups
Just how completely **** is your team and manager that they spend so much money assembling a squad that can't compete on all fronts....? Seriously, if I was the Russian gangster and my multi million pound manager told me he was going to throw a game using a team of 11 costing over £150 million and likely more expensive than the team they face, none of whom need to play in the CL later that week, frankly I'd sack him.....again. If I were you Chelsea fans, frankly I'd be embarrassed that such a pathetic cowardly excuse was being used to cover up the fact that such an expensive dog turd had been presented as entertainment. Mind you, reading some of the scum bags posts on this Board suggests it would have been easier if the Russian gangster had just sent some snuff dvds to each of you since that's what you seem to get off on. And for all you utter morons claiming we had an easy ride this year: how many of you predicted us for the title in August? No, October maybe? What about start of January then? No? Didn't think so....sad little boys crying because their toy was actually made of crap ran by a sociopath. Suits you lot down to the ground if the most vocal of this Board are representative...
Frank, what on earth are you prattling on about? It makes perfect sense to focus more on a competition we have every chance of winning than one we don't. Why risk key players when we have suspensions and injuries to others which could leave us extremely thin on the ground for the 2nd leg and STILL lose against you lot? Get a grip ffs.
Drogs, he has obviously forgotten the team Rafa played against Fulham when they were going for the CL. Talk about hypocrite.
Ha, I'm fairly certain that had we beaten Sunderland we'd be playing a full strength line up this Sunday!
Drogs, you're the only decent poster on this Board so I'll respond to you, its the whining about everything as an excuse. He could just do it. If his boss agrees there's no reason to make such a fuss is there?. As I said his "b" team is still one of the most expensive teams in the league so why the melodramatics? Smacks of getting an excuse out before failure. Poor attitude for a "top" manager. So making a point of stating it's a weakened team as a "so there!" To the league is unprofessional and has no class. Are you honestly happy with the crap he has spouted and how he and his management team have conducted themselves this past month? Is it how you want your club viewed? And let's say he's not playing games or looking for excuse, after all that money is spent you find it acceptable that you have to prioritise between two of the major trophies I'm suprised. very suprised. It's not like you haven't been competing on various fronts for a while now. As to the rest of you, your opinions are worth bollox as they amount to "I know you are so what am I" just about the right mental age if you combined yours. Beneath my contempt. I wouldn't waste my spit on you.
Funny that you didn't address Rafa doing the very same thing before a CL game. I wonder why that is? Maybe because you're a hypocrite. You came on here calling us morons and expect us to answer you in a civil way? Go **** yourself.
And here in lies the problem. You are so filled with hate for us there is very little objectivity in anything you post. I imagine you posting all this lack of class stuff whilst wearing your 'support Suarez' t-shirt. #anotherscousehypocrite.
