Rant Box: Chelsea v. Manchester City

I love how Man City fans are pointing to May and claiming we won't have any trophies or a manager.  This coming from the supporters of a club whose last major honour, aside from an FA cup last season, was winning Division 1 and getting promoted.  Have fun playing on Thursdays (which will likely make that league trophy a little more difficult)

Watching this game, I can't help but wonder "Can Man city get their shirt right?" -- Their Red jersey look like "fake AC Milan", their blue jersey look like "Chelsea-lite", their white shirt with red diagonal stripe is even worse, looking like "Forever South America underdog - Peru National Team". 1 billions Pound and couldn't get their shirt right. 

Fair result for Champions League Team against Europa League Team. 

How dare you call Peru Forever South American Underdogs. We've been to the World Cup, can Chelsea claim that?
Besides, that particular honor belongs to Bolivia.

To add to my previous post, those of you who haven't seen it - Andre's 15 minute Q&A (before he was appointed Chelsea manager).

Wanted to say this for a while now, and will do tonight. It's always so refreshing to hear Andre's post match interviews, be it rants or just thoughts on the game, his grasp of language is second to none, better than most English managers, dare I say it. And the things he says don't really sound like your typical cliched 'football management speak', as he always tries to let us in on technical details, as if we were on his seminar. You gotta love the guy! 

KTBFFH!

Feeling pretty good after that. Big chunk of credit to AVB for getting it right after that egregious start.

YES! Make my day. AVB, another slap on the face to the critics. Moreover, sending Tottenham to where they belong 5th & 6th.

May 2012 boys

0 in the cabinet & new manager

It's hard to take someone seriously when they lie about being an ex-pro buddy.

YES! YES! YES! ahh the feeling of taking a win over those bastards. Keep it goin Chels!

Well we'll see where you are...and with what - in May 2012
 
I suspect without a trophy (don't worry there's always the asian cup)....and with a new manager....when the real problem is at the top
 
mmmm....wonder how long before the idea of moving Chelsea to Moscow comes up...will you still support them ?

To Desailly - Everton in the glorious 80's

Who is this bum?

Andy Gray. 

Genius. Pure genius.

??? perhaps you should go back to playing professionally cuz you're making yourself look stupid by talking.

even at my age my friend.....I can still make you look stupid on & off the park

so far you are unsuccessful. 

So where do Roman's millions go? Apparently unaesthetically with that old-timer Drogba to the corner-flag against a 10-man side.

Arsenal rocks man!

lol it's called preserving the lead and ensuring a victory.

Well - as a complete natural and ex pro (UK) had to say this.....CONGRATULATIONS CHELSEA......only way to beat Man City...."dodgy penalty"....and against 10 men....and the ref is sitting in the crowd !

CONGRATULATIONS to a great act & performance from Frankie....I bet he'd do the same if he was at West Ham or any club !

You're kidding yourselves boys....a squad of PRIMA DONNA's....that will never play as a team of champions

Pretty sure we scored on them fair and square without a penalty and with 11 men, not our fault Clichy can't tackle. And dodgy pen? It hit his raised elbow bud, nothing dodgy about it.

Maybe you have no eyes, almost every single time a City player went down, it was theatrics and diving. I don't believe you are an ex-pro, if you were you'd realize how many times your precious City dove.

I used to be an ex pro like you until I took an arrow to the knee

FINISH THEM OFF

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

MR. FUCKING CHELSEA

holy. fuck. lool.

Come on, we have to take advantage of this!

HAHA WTF was danny doing?

here we go boys....city down to 10 men, clichy with his 2nd yellow

now we're talking. ramires and sturridge is going to have a field day. won't be ssurprised to see kompany get sent off too

Great start to this second half. 

Mata just had Kompany for breakfast.

Hey, I'll take it.

Chelsea fans should appreciate that not only City but also Arsenal and Barcelona were complicit in that goal.  Clichy has always been shite, and Toure has always been lazy.

I adore this kind of insightful commentary.

maybe it was really a heskey-type shot that mereiles capitalized on =) jkjk

Sturridge passes and look what happens, haha.

Sturridge with an assist?!?! hahaha Meireles justifies AVB's decision to bench Lampard. Let's go Blues!!!!!!! 1-1 baby

See danny what happens when u pass the ball?

o baby sturridge magic 

 subime effort by Drogba. sign this man to a fucking extension already.

he's the one rejecting the 1 year deal...=(

we should just give him what he wants..lock him up for 2 years. thats what hes looking for. hes a chelsea legend, no reason why we shouldn't give him what hes looking for

Toure, cunt.

wow just wow..lucky aguero mis hit that one...fucking shit man

Agreed.

let's just pull a barca and win it

are you fucking kidding me? fucking seriously? 1st minute???? fuck

Shit. Just shit.

we got  staight up raped on that goal

and there's the poor defending again.

Shots of Bob working his way through the ground. Throws up the sign of the beast. Rock on, sir.

this is going to be nuts.

I just saw something intresting on another blog, one guy suggested Ramires as a rightback covering for Boss, and Lampard in the middle.... never thought about it, but it makes me wonder. 

no.

Eh. I'd rather stick with a guy who knows the position. If Essien was fit, that would have been an option however.

Frank on the bench once again. Can't argue with the call, but I wonder what the old man is thinking right now.
