Chelsea Thread

[rmoxon]

This is just taking the piss. Is it too much to ask for a ****ing fraction of the luck Arsenal and Man U get?

Every game we've played for the last month you regularly hear "and some wonder saves from the keeper", We gift goals to teams, Ramieres is absolute **** and should never play for us again he completely stifles our attacking play, look at the difference when he was replaced. Acelotti: if you're not sacked by the next game, bench the twat. I don't care who you put on instead.

It's been a while since I've been so ****ing pissed off.

Yet another team with atrocious form who gave up against other teams playing out of their skin against us.

Chelsea had all the luck today and still couldnt win.

The penalty they got was soft, the second goal some how rolled in through 3 defenders after bouncing off two of them, and villa were on the receiving end of some very harsh yellow cards that meant they had to be careful for much of the game.

Chelsea had it handed to them today and they still couldnt hold on for 5 minutes at the end of the game after they scored, very poor defending for Villas third as the entire defense just stood around looking confused.

Sorry but they just wernt good enough.

Have to say Smurfy Chelsea do look very ordinary if that is the right word to use mate and for me out of all your players right now Drogba realy does look the least interested one bit,me and my lad counted 4 times when he was outside the box and could/should have busted a gut to get in the box but he never even moved more than a yard mate very sad to see.

How was the Chelsea penalty soft? jumped into the back of him, threw his arm around his front, made sure he went down with him.

Most of the yellow cards were Villa sliding in not caring about the ball when Chelsea were on the break. The villa players knew exactly what they were doing almost every time and didn't have too many complaints (aside from the dissent one).

They players were clearly 'using up' their yellows to stop Chelsea on the break. If it was just the ref being harsh about normal tackles, there would've been some second yellows. The ref didn't even have to give a "one more and you're off" warning to any of the 7 players.

Well its only my opinion of course but I belive he went for the ball and was backed into and thats why he didnt get the ball, Malouda just seemed to fall over on purpose after that and was lucky to get a penalty rather than a yellow card.

Villa had about 3 cards for dissent which were ridculous becuase they only complained as much as anyone does when you have a penalty givent against you, and they were actualy valid complaints for me.

There was also one foul, forgot who it was, where the villa player hardly made an effort to do anything as the chelsea player fell over in front of him and a yellow was given.

At the end of the day though Chelsea should have won the match, Villa did very little for me in the second half for most part besides scoring that early goal, then were then sat back for most part, when it was 3-2 I was convinced chelsea had won it but they went to sleep with only 5 minutes to go, and that has nothing to do with luck.

wtf is going on.

Ancelotti, if you don't turn this game around, sorry, you've got to go. This is completely unacceptable.

[Rossco]

Are Chelsea playin ****, whats going on!?

[Kongster]

It's quite baffling really but spectacular at the same time.

[abigsmurf]

Chelsea aren't playing well but we're not exceedingly awful. We just can't seem to catch any sort of break and we're not scoring enough.

An own goal a 5 minutes...

[abigsmurf]

Bye bye Ancelotti.

Maybe you'll be replaced by someone who has some idea of what to do when things are going badly and who recognises what wastes of space Kalou and Ramieres are. Hate the running joke that is our manager turnover but... This wouldn't be good enough for a relegation fighting side, let alone a title winner.

Still, at least the spurs result means 4th place is still a likely target.

The title is Man U's. Man City and Arsenal aren't displaying signs they're capable of taking it all the way.

So a manager who won you the double in his first year has to go after 8-9 bad matches

Doesn't exactly allay the feckless and classless view many have of the nouveau chelski fans does it ?

[abigsmurf]

Oh come off it.

8-9 bad matches? You say like that's a slight blip. I don't know the stats but I certainly can't remember a run of form this bad in all my years supporting Chelsea.

Yes he won the double but that only gets you so much good will. Where's there any hope for Chelsea fans at the moment? We've got 90% of our squad now and we're still playing unmotivated, lacklustre football, Ancelotti hasn't shown any signs he's going to shake things up.

[Kongster]

Roman will have to bring out the chequebook this window or the next one if wants some rebuilding work done.

[merf]

I just think he's earnt a bit more respect and time there off the back of what he's done and how this season started.

It's 1 win in 9, not great I agree but don't think it should get him binned

[EJG1980]

Agree with Merf, managers are got rid of too easily these days. The bloke did the double and has won multiple Champions Leagues at Milan, but he should go for 8-9 bad matches? Blimey. He's a winner going through a bad patch, he deserves a bit more respect.

[abigsmurf]

I was willing to give him a chance whilst the injuries crippled our squad but we're simply not improving at all.

He's had 3 games since we've got back to a 'strong' side and it's all been turgid stuff filled with absolutely shocking lapses. Good sides, bad sides, sides on awful runs of form... We've been poor against all of them. Last week was probably the angriest I've ever been at Chelsea (and not a ref), that was Ancelotti's written warning in my book. Tonight was his P45.

Even if we're not going to be title contenders, I want to go back to being able to enjoy games, even if results don't go our way I want to feel that we put up a decent fight.
