    Is that when they reorganise the season for the Winter World Cup in Qatar?

  3. Life for a Chelsea fan is bleak, at this point in time.

    However, one does have the feeling that they will still finish above 'Pool.

    Seriously (sorry!), there's something badly wrong at Chavski. You don't just go from runaway league champions to utter ****e unless there's a major internal problem.

    We can all speculate what that problem is, and we'd mostly be right, but there's some kind of massive internal conflict going on there!

    Maybe Abramovich has been playing the long game and he's got an absolutely enormous bet on them going down?
    You can still get 750/1 now, so the odds at the start of the season must've been massive.

    Why? Arsenal hamper season by adding games they won't win. Do Chelsea really need the distraction while fighting relegation? Could you do a Wigan, Cup success and the Championship the following years (the league pal, not the title).

    City are probably the only ones in a position to cope. The Europa might suit us at this stage. Give the kids the chance, gain experience, come back a year better off next year and retackle the CL.

    Indeed, it's actually all part of LVG's brilliant yet secret masterplan. Can't wait for the big reveal.

    Is it? If you say so Stan.

    Then again, you claim he has no plan. No consistency Stan.

    I think Yawnited should get in Schteeve McLaren in - at least their fans would see loads of goals being scored











    mainly against Yawnited

    Surely they'd just appreciate seeing a goal or two scored ?

    Not sure I said that. He has a plan, it's just not a very good one at the minute. In fact recently it's been a shambolic plan!

    Do you think you can win it this season? If you ride out your injuries you have a chance imo. City are obviously so inconsistent

    I think it's between us and city and if either of those teams can go on a run then they will be in pole position.

    Also we need to try and arrest our woeful injury record if we're going to maintain any consistency.

    Then again, there's always Leicester ....

  19. Arsenal will bottle it. They always do.

    They are goin to take a pasting off Barca in the CL, and I reckon it will completely shatter all the confidence that they've built up over the past couple of months. They will be a spent force, going into the final quarter of the season.
