So when you say Terry is a "disruptive influence with no integrity", what are you basing that on? Media reports? First hand experience? Yes, JT has made mistakes - but probably not half the mistakes we (or the media) assume he has. Read this account from Sam Tillen (former CFC youth player)...

AVB can be blamed for many things, but surely not for a lack of cojones... He felt - rightly or wrongly - that Anelka and Alex weren't worth hanging on to, and hasn't been afraid to put Lampard on the bench. He also refused to give Torres a game while Drogba was still there, as well as playing...

AVB has just fronted up and admitted that he screwed up with preparation for today's game. At least he got that right. However, credit to Everton, they deserved their win, and their win was more down to what they did right than what we did wrong. I want AVB to succeed, but I don't think he...

Well, since the game is over for us - barring a miracle - what's the answer? Sacking AVB and bringing in .... who? Capello? Jose? Hiddink? Part of the problem is that players are being bought for the manager - that wouldn't change under a new manager. Not even Jose. I'd be prepared to hope...

Chelsea fans chanted "You don't know what you're doing" after AVB took Mata off. Not good.

.....and of course 30 seconds later; 2-0. Only good news is that Liverpool lost, and Arsenal are 1-0 down. Come on The Toon!

Well that's it - all our problems are solved; Malouda's on. To be fair, there aren't really too many other options - Bison has looked leggy since he returned from his injury.

Personally, I blame Wayne Bridge. He was the one who started this whole not-shaking-your-hand business.

I don't know if I can blame Bosingwa alone for the way we're playing. Bos is nervous, which made him make the mistake, which led to the goal. It's either nervousness or complacency and it better not be the latter. Cole gave the ball away which nearly led to a goal, and Cech did the same - WTF is...

It looks to me as if the players are absolutely paranoid about the mistakes that our defenders will make. No confidence, we're back peddling whenever they have the ball and could easily be further behind. Cech, Cole, Bosingwa and Luiz have all made huge mistakes so far and it was Bosingwa's...

Cahill has not signed - officially or otherwise. If Mata is earning £55K, then agreeing to pay £80K for Cahill seems daft. I want players to WANT to play for Chelsea, and the longer this transfer drags on because of wages, the less I want to see him at the club - much less wearing the hallowed...
