2012 - 2013 Football Thread

[The Liberal Media]

Benitez - far too classy for Chelsea...think he's seeing this appointment as a shop-window to show what he can do for half a season, hopefully leading to landing a position at a club where his dignity and talent will be appreciated. Sacking him after one bad season was the worst decision by the board in LFC's history.

Off to see the mighty reds in Swansea tomorrow...should be a great atmosphere considering the circumstances...hoping for a win but predicting a 2-2 draw,.

Classy, lol, the guys top class off the field , I will admit that, the way he donated $$ to the Hillsborough thing when he was fired from LIVERPOOL was class.

But as a person the guy is a complete cunt, then again thats modern footy, I still find it hard to get over this ....


"Chelsea is a big club with fantastic players, every manager wants to coach a such a big team. But I would never take that job, in respect for my former team at Liverpool, no matter what. For me there is only one club in England, and that's Liverpool." (2007)

"If Chelsea are naive and pure then I'm Little Red Riding Hood." (2007)

"We don't need to give away flags for our fans to wave - our supporters are always there with their hearts, and that is all we need. It's the passion of the fans that helps to win matches - not flags." (in regards to the 2007 Champions League semi-final between the sides. The quote has been immortalised in a plaque at Liverpool's training ground)

"I'm sure Chelsea do not like playing Liverpool. When they are talking and talking and talking before the game it means they are worried. Maybe they're afraid?" (on the same tie)

"We were good friends until Liverpool started winning, then he started changing his mind." (on then Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho)

"After the game, Sheila, who was sitting right in line in the main stand, said to me that the ball had crossed the line. She is a very honest person and that was good enough for me. It was a goal." (on taking his secretary's word that Luis Garcia's so-called 'ghost goal' had crossed the line in the 2005 Champions League semi-final between the sides)

"To me, Arsenal played much better football two or three years ago. They won matches and were exciting to watch. Barcelona and Milan too. They create excitement so how can you say Chelsea are the best in the world?" (after Chelsea's first Premier League title win)

The top quote is a little iffy but the rest are what you'd expect from a passionate manager, no?

It all looks ok to me....Chelsea do have embarrasing plastic flags, they have never been the best team in the world, etc. Hardly reason to call the guy a cunt, lol.

Oddly enough most LFC fans aren't bothered about him managing Chelsea, even given the top quote. Circumstances are different now. Rafa's no fool, he's well aware that it's just for this season, it's a shop window.

One thing I would never forgive him for however is if he comes in for Lucas with Roman's wonga in January, exactly the player Chelsea need imo. He wont though, as I'm guessing he will have no say in the transfers anyway.

Your joking right?

Are we the only team that gives out flags? ever been to a Boca or River plate or Racing game? all 3 of those teams give out flags to their teams.
Banfield do it as well

In Rosario" Newells old Boys" also give out plastic flags, but seems only Chelsea are blamed.

Also Brazils 3 biggest teams Flamengo, Internacional and Cruziero also give out flags, I have been to games with all 3 of those teams, but that doesnt matter, all that matters is a dig at Chelsea right ?

Not joking, and not having a dig - you do have plastic flags! Did I say you were the only ones? No. I haven't been to any games abroad though, but it's irrelevent. You are avoiding the point, which is that you are calling your manager a 'cunt' for no real reason. There's nothing remotely cuntish about the quotes you have provided.

It's you who is having a dig, at your own manager...before your team has even kicked a ball for him. i highly doubt you will be calling him a 'cunt' in afew months, but we'll see I guess

If you think that is the case then its you who knows nothing about the strength of feeling we have about Rafa.
Might want to go to the chelsea website and click the chat section to get a decent view of what we feel about him.

http://shed.chelseafc.com/chat/forum_chelsea.shtml

I realise managers are hired guns, but no chance in hell he will be accepted by the very vast majority of Chelsea fans, even if he wins the Europa league, the league and the FA cup

He can fuck off, we are all waiting for Pep anyways, its the worst kept secret in football.
Roman spunked 50 million on Torres, and already spunked another 18 million in wages on him to date, so what does he care if he can hire this guy for 3-4 million to try and get the best from his striker?

Thats a decent insurance policy it seems, end of the day RDM was not happy playing Romans attacking football with Mata/Oscar/Hazard, his game was always about parking the bus as proven by his results last year.

Rafa was hired for one reason only, to make Torres work or at least try for the next 6 weeks till Roman buys Falcao as a replacement
In reality its just a 4 million punt on wages for Rafa to save 50 million ( or any resale value) for Torres.
Thats the bottom line

The flag comment doesnt bother most, its that fat bastards hypocrisy that does

 

[Infinite Jest]

Honest question for you: do you think Pep actually wants to go to Chelsea? Would you want to go there, knowing how quickly managers get sacked? What makes you think he won't go to United or City, or PSG, or to Italy? Chelsea can't be the only club that want him....

 

[maxalfie]

A draw for Ipswich Town today, after the results we have had lately I am more than happy to look upon todays result as a win.

£15 million a yr net says, yes he will go there.
AC Milan cant afford that in a month of Sundays.

Look at all the Barca type players Chelsea are lining up

Hazard
Mata
Oscar
Piazon

Its not out of the realm of possibility that Pep actually advised Roman a year ago as to what type of players he wanted roman to sign in the possibility that he would take over in Summer 2013

If Pep isnt in charge of Chelsea next year I will eat my hat

Worst kept secret in football, hence Rafa getting a 6 month contract

Neither Manchester team will pay him 15 million a year,
PSG are tied into Carlo

He will never go to Real Madrid.


Read some stat today that Roman has paid out £77 million in manager compensation so far
Peps coming, thats the bottom line.

The only reason Rafa got a 6 month contract ( with that optional 12 month payoff option) is that its nailed on that Pep has already agreed to take over in Summer

Good player but would much prefer if we got Ezequiel Cirigliano from River Plate in the winter window

Guy is quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUqhXnnSI8Q

Alas the antiquated work permit rules in England means we probably cant unless he has his Italian Passport lined up

 

[The Liberal Media]

Di Matteo has been sacked. Fucking hell Chelsea are a joke

Since Roman took over Chelsea have won one MORE Trophy than ManUre have with thier single manager.
How many titles do the Yankees win by firing managers year in year out.

And until Jose and Pep were managing in Spain, Barca and Real were averaging about a manager a year and winning everything in sight.
If it aint broke , fire it !!!

Like I mentioned before Jupp gave Real their first European Cup in 30 years and was reportedly fired on the team bus after the win

Just the way some clubs work.
Well unless your Arsenal and you charge the highest prices in the world to watch a game and your manager publically states that finishing 4th is as good as winning a trophy

 

[suburu]

And until Jose and Pep were managing in Spain, Barca and Real were averaging about a manager a year

Before Pep and Jose, Frank Rijkaard was managing Barcelona for 5 years with great success. Madrid had 9 managers in the same 5 years. Not really the same thing. And Manure have won one more trophy than Chelsea since Roman took over, not the other way round.

Roman is obsessed by Pep and wants to play the same style football as Barcelona. Except Roman runs his club almost identically to Real Madrid. He buys the players, just like Real do, and expects the manager to mould them into a team playing fantasy football and then he sacks the managers just like Real do. They spend fucktons of money and post record losses, like Real do.

Who says Pep is demanding £15 million anyway? And if he is, do you really think Man City wouldn't pay it? I think there's more chance of him going to Man City. Chelsea had their fair share of bad blood games with Barca. Tiki Begiristain, Pep's former European Cup winning teammate and the man who gave him the Barca job, is now Director of football at Citeh. Another former Barca vice president is the recently appointed CEO at Citeh, Ferran Soriano.

Maybe deep down Pep's a greedy cunt and will take the £15 million a year and private yacht with 72 dripping virgins onboard or whatever Roman's offering but I don't think he'd bother going to Chelsea and risk being fucked out the door in 6 months because he only won ONE trophy.

I hope that legend Winston Bogarde gets it.

so much of your post is so wrong its hard to know where to begin

Real fired jupp 30 mins after they won the cl
Chelsea fired Carlo 30 mins after the game at Everton


Bottom line is most clubs are jealous about how Chelsea is run

Rather an Arsenal fan who won nothing for last 7 years?
Or a Chelsea Fan with a fantastic Owner who has won in the last 9 years

Chelsea have spent approximately £86m since 2004 in compensation for managers – more than Everton’s entire net spend since the Premier League began.

Chelsea had eight managers in their first 70 years from 1905 to 1975, they are now going for a ninth in nine years.

Since failing to escape their Champions League group in 2005, Sir Alex Ferguson has won four Premier League titles, one Champions League and three League Cups with United.

Abramovich has now had as many managers in his nine-year reign as United have had since 1937.

Chelsea have sacked seven managers since 2005 and won seven trophies.

 

[The Liberal Media]

BOTTOM LINE

ABRAMOVICH HAS WON WON MORE SINCE HE TOOK OVER THAN Fergie has in the same time span

HE FIRES WHO HE WANTS !!!!

Period , and he wins what he wants, and bottom line lol and try this on for size ..... he has MORE success than lord fergie since he took over

Put that in your pipe and smoke it you cunts

Roman forever

 

[suburu]

so much of your post is so wrong its hard to know where to begin

lol chillout TLM. And what was wrong? You were saying Barcelona were firing managers every year before Pep. I put you right. Someone has to!


And why do you keep harping on about 2005? Roman took over in 2003.

Utd have won 10 trophies since then. Chelsea have won 9.

Why are you making me defend Utd. I hate baconface more than you do.

 

[bogman]

@ TLM could you list the trophies Chelsea won since 2003 then list the trophies UTD won since 2003 then we will count them.

i was thinking it was 9 and 16 but i might be wrong.

Why are you making me defend Utd.

have you come over to the red side my son
