HE WAS FAKING IT! Clearly hid a razor behind his buck teeth, i think he wanted to get home to watch the Hollyoaks omnibus.
And yes, we are in the shit. Its all Levys fault for wanting to get a new manager and increase the share price so he could sell up. Im fast thinking Usmanov was gonna buy Spurs til he realised we were in the shit this season. I might be wrong.

Well that would be a second lucky escape for you. If it weren't for Roman Abramovich flying over Stamford Bridge by chance, you could be owned by him right now.

Steer clear of Russian oligarchs, that's my advice.

Thanks i'll tell the board

PAULYBEE2656 · 10.03.2007, 10:58 AM

but why are we shit. we have great players collectivly just as a team it doesnt seem to work. typical spurs moan i know but if we dont bag at least 4 goals on thursday night, we are shit and we could face the prospect of not getting to europe next year, and perhaps battling for premiership survival as well.

the ikara cult · 10.03.2007, 11:41 AM

Whats that team we're playing? Aronthosis Famgusta?
They sound like some kind of tropical disease.

I dunno, you undermine a manager so publicly its bound to affect him. We HAVE also been very unlucky, against Sunderland we were shit but lost in the last minute, the whole fiasco of the Fulham game, Should have had a penalty/goal against Man U.
Only times i think we deserved to lose is Everton and Arsenal.

Henk Ten Cate's agent claims the Ajax coach has agreed to join Chelsea as assistant to new boss Avram Grant.

Ten Cate's representative Sigi Lens told The Sun: "It's true we have an agreement with Chelsea. It's an opportunity for him, a challenge for him to work with a big team and work with Avram Grant to build a new team. Chelsea have spoken to Henk about the matter. There was a conversation and both the manager and Henk are on the same wavelength. They invited Henk to a meeting to talk about technical matters and ask how he sees things and how he wants to play and that was good."

Ten Cate had a glowing reputation for his work as Frank Rikkaard's assistant at Barcelona - and it appears this is the role Chelsea want him to perform at Stamford Bridge.

Lens said: "Henk knows what he's doing. He did it in Barcelona", and he hinted the appointment could be made swiftly if Chelsea can reach an agreement with Ajax. "Chelsea want to take the coach now, so if there is an agreement between the two clubs everything will be clear. The will is there from both parties for Henk to start straight away. Henk does not want to wait until the end of the season, he wants to come now but it depends on how Ajax react."

Lens explained that the 52-year-old's work at Ajax made him the ideal candidate for Chelsea. He said: "You can see how he plays the game tactically. Look at Ajax last year. The season before they finished fifth and with Henk they were joint top and only just lost out on the title by one goal."

Ten Cate, who has a reputation for producing attacking football and being a hard task-master on the training ground, was formerly number two at Barcelona and helped the Catalan giants to Champions League glory in 2006.

In his first season as Ajax manager, the club missed out on the Dutch title on goal difference, though he has won a Dutch Cup and two Dutch Super Cups in his time at the Amsterdam Arena.

Ajax refused to comment on stories linking Ten Cate with the role.

Can any of the Dutch boardies tell me if this is something worth me getting excited about? Have Ajax played entertaining football with this guy as coach?

nick2767 · 10.05.2007, 08:13 AM

don't get too excited. five live reported at lunch time that he's not going to chelsea. he wants to stay with ajax. also reported on sky sports.

sonicl · 10.05.2007, 08:22 AM

Oh well. All the time that Chelsea are playing uninspiring football it's saving me £50+ for each game that I don't go to.

nick2767 · 10.05.2007, 08:31 AM

£50!! I knew chelsea was pricey.
I've just this minute picked up an england/croatia ticket for less than that.

sonicl · 10.05.2007, 08:44 AM

Fifty quid's the cheap tickets.

When I were a lad (15 years ago) it used to cost me £7 (I think) to stand in the Shed End. I wouldn't want to trade the last few years trophies, but I'd love to be able to watch Chelsea again and feel as passionate about them as I did at that time.

Yes, for everyone supporting Feyenoord it has all been really entertaining, especially that last couple of months... although I have a feeling that's not what you meant. Anyway, I reckon he'll probably do well as a field trainer at Chelsea.

Russia 2 - England 1

Bugger! We're reliant on Russia messing up if we're going to qualify.

PAULYBEE2656 · 10.18.2007, 06:51 AM

ha. we are reliant on a collapse of germany and the czech rep eceonmy and geographical location to qualify. last night was the worst performance ive ever seen by the irish team. awful absolutely awful. people in high places should be sacked for what they have done to the team. ok steve staunton aint doing a great managerial job but he shouldnt have been given te post in the first place. and furthermore he is here for another 2 years at least to get us into the world cup.. irish football is screwed! as one famous pundit in ireland put it " poor poor soccer..." ive never seen a campaign that started off bad and get progressivly worse, also ive never seen an irish team get booed off the pitch in dublin before.......

You're still way better than the crippled Slovakians.

A Thousand Threads · 10.18.2007, 07:19 AM

We won, hooray.

Austria 3 - Cote d'Ivoire 2

Our team is still a fucking wreck. The EM is going to be such a disgrace for us + we're host!!!!

I bet you'd kick the shit of our "masters" easily, Christoph.

A Thousand Threads · 10.18.2007, 08:04 AM

^I don't think so, we've played so bad over the last few years it's not even funny anymore.

look at the FIFA ranking list:
slovakia is 46, we're at 85!

_slavo_ · 10.18.2007, 08:06 AM

Yeah, but Slovakians are cheating. We were actually at 146th position initially, but someone erased the "1".
