Dunny, you are so biased against Chelsea and anything associated with the club that is just not funny anymore.Originally posted by Dunny View Post
OK, let us get something straight. When was the last time Arsene Wenger land a trophy? OK, he has a chance to win the FA Cup so you can talk big this season.
When Benitez was installed as manager at Chelsea, he was as an interim manager. The club did not decide to make him a permanent manager, so they did not offer him a permanent contract. It is the club's prerogative if they decide that Rafa was not he person they want.
Next, when you look at the tables, don't be fooled into thinking Chelsea is third best. The final table may indicate that, but hope you do not forget that the two teams who are ahead of them in the tables, Chelsea beat them in both home and away games. They also put six pass your "big club pretender" side.
Anyway, I think Chelsea could have finished top of the league if it were not for them drawing and losing some matches in which they should have won. Had they beaten Norwich in the match last week and not have lost to Sunderland and Villa, they it would be a totally different story. But I guess the manager should take all the blame for those losses. . .
In life there are many near misses. We should not only celebrate the victories, but the near misses as well. This season was a near miss for Mourinho and Chelsea. Look how close the league was and all three teams were in it right down to the final two games. If that is what you call failure, then, I will say you have no concept of failure. Wenger not landing a trophy in 9 seasons is failure.
I think Chelsea will retool in the areas where the team needs it and you should see a team turning near wins into victories next season, which in the final analysis is what counts in most people's books.Leave a comment:

The special one doesn't seem so special anymore. That is 2 seasons without a trophy. He won zero trophies with a star studded Madrid last year and this year he has won nothing after spending Abromovich's loot. Lets see what happen next season if he doesn't get the sack by then.Originally posted by Peter R View PostLeave a comment:

Tilla do you see.....
this season as an improvement to last? The fans couldn't wait to get rid of Rafa who finished third won a trophy and had the team playing some decent football.
Herald the Special one, played some dire football, won no trophies spent 110 million and transformed the third best team in England to the third best team in England
