Carlo Ancelotti Gone!

[Royal Rother]

Oh. What should the over 50s wear as casual shoes then?

[exileinleeds]

Casual shoes.

[Royal Rother]

That's what trainers are. They're really not for running in and stuff like that!

first page of Google search "casual mens shoes"- none of the first couple of rows at least are trainers, but, subject to taste, are mens casual shoes. They are not white trainers.

[Royal Rother]

Don't trainers come in other colours these days?

What a shame Kes has been tucked in already, he could have been a big help here.

[roadrunner]

stop deflecting from the fact that you have sacked yet another manager for being in second place of the "worlds best league"

pathetic

Why does it bother you so much, when you have a play off final to look forward to?

That YOU have posted about having a ticket for I see...

Chelsea are a nothing average club owned by a very rich man who has bought you trophies. Thats why most football fans share so little respect for Chelsea, and the same will be with Man City.

Van Basten the favourite according to Hansen.

Ancelotti was always going to be sacked, even if they had won the league/cup - abramovich wants the champions league.

Thing is, Chelsea will never be in the same league as Man Utd - purely due to the fact Utd have the history and infrastructure to win major trophies - there is that belief they can do it, every year. You would never see Fergie being sacked for coming 2nd in the league.......purely cos the board have faith in his ability. Chelsea just need to find their "fergie"

[Jackson Corner]

Who ever takes over will have to re build an ageing side. That will take 2-3 seasons will he be sacked if they don't win anything next year?

[FiNeRaIn]

better to support a crap team I can be proud of than an advert for everything that is wrong with football. I'd be genuinely ashamed if I was unfortunate enough to be a Chelsea fan.

Have a good day out at Wembley sitting near to people that never go and watch Reading wont you

When Rangers took two million fans to Manchester then undoubtedly there were people sitting next to each other who didn't know one another. That's just how it goes on the big occasions.

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

Should have stayed and been told to bring through the youth.

Didn't it take about 3 years of squad building before he won the FA cup? Iirc they were not far off relegation at one point- and plenty of their fans wanted him gone.

To be successful, you don't only need excellent players, you need a formation they can all work together in. A really good team is better than the sum of it's parts, hence the MU team this season being perceived as "weak" (by their standards)- yet so successful. The undoubted management skill of SAF in getting the selection/ motivation/ rest/tactics right.

Had Ancelotti been allowed to build a team, he would undoubtedly have won the CL, Abramovich doing his Veruca Salt impression has just guaranteed another couple of years of relative failure.

The man is a clueless classless cretin. One can see why Kes is a fan.

[Royal Rother]

A lovely close there!!

[soggy biscuit]

At least Kes now has his 'transition period' excuse back again

lol, just lol

[No Fixed Abode]

Kes/Harold/NFA actually lives in a Chelsea basement bedsit I'm sure

....and fair play to him or supporting his local team



..........................

Dont be silly, he lives at home with mummy and daddy- and tries to convince people that he "has his own wing". Still I am sure one day he will grow up enough to be independent.

A sad pathetic little man who still wears trainers as casual shoes despite being well over 30! Bless.

^^Issues^^

No need to say anything else on this post.

[PlasticRoyale]

Do you two have 'history'?

The thing is - Arsenal found their 'Fergie' and they haven't won anything for 6 years. Wenger has had success, but not for a prolonged period. This is what makes football interesting. Clubs do things differently - what works for one - doesn't work for another. People can criticise all they like about Chelsea - we know we're successful and that comes with the territory.

To get out of your pram about it like EIL and try and get personal is pathetic. It just shows she lacks guile and intellect in her responses that she attempts these personal insults.

It depends what you class as success though - to Arsenal, the club, all they need/want is to qualify for the Champions League year in year out........they are running a business. Abramovich on the other hand is like a supporter and see's not winning a trophy as a failure......the fact is, Chelsea have qualified for the CL and will net shit loads of money for it, but abramovich is playing real life Football Manager and wants silverware.

[Terminal Boardom]

7 managers in 8 years? Laughable. Just think what they could have achieved with some stability. Man City appear to be taking the same path.

How many clubs have stability these days? It's not just Chelsea.

So Arsenal didn't want to win the league, the league cup or the FA Cup this year? I don't believe that at all.
