I'd like to see you try to speak Luxembourgish, Kes.

I'd like to see him attempt intelligent English.

If people actually want a serious discussion on this thread then what has happened to Chelsea?

Over confidence?
Poor tactics?
Opposition raising their game?
Mouriniho losing the plot?

I honestly still think they will be top 2 by the end of the season, however the title is Man Citys to lose. To me the players don't look fit enough, they seem sluggish and give away the ball too cheaply

To me, it looks like the players have lost the intensity in their game. Last season we were pressing the ball with high intensity. We've stopped that.

Sums up our season on Saturday thus far. Besic gets injured. Naismith comes on. Should have been sent off for a kick out on Ivanovic then had a blinder and scores a hat-trick.

True plus players like Ivanovic and Costa, when things aren't going their way seem to lose their head a bit which doesn't help. Also the creativity of Hazard and Fabregas has gone. I'm sure it will all come together but the way City have started, it will probably be too late.

I reckon the aim was to win the Champions League this season rather than the league and aimed for a slower start with the idea they'd be stronger after Xmas. Kind of like how S'Alex used to do with Man U. Problem is that some players just look totally out of form and a slower start can rapidly become a rubbish start when the players' confidence drops.

So spending your weekend trying to wind up a fan of a team that has no affect on your team. Good weekend m8?

Dear oh dear. If you include Friday then a weekend is around 72 hours, I probably spent about 1m 45 secs in CheLOLsea retweets m8.

Which is 1m 40secs more than tweeting about Reading.

Garth Crooks is a nob, but does he have a point with this?

City's response to the victory, and the celebrations that followed with their fans, was telling. To be four points clear at the top of the table at this stage of the season is one thing, but to be 11 points above Chelsea has almost certainly put the champions out of the title race, and that was clearly the point of their celebrations

Probably a whole host of reasons why they have gone from champions to absolute garbage but I think the two obvious ones to see from the outide are that John Terry previously held the back 4 together and age has caught up with him thus leaving the other defenders looking over their shoulder for half the game and not keeping their eye on their own game as much, and that Hazard can be a match winner on his day if the situation suits him, but when it doesnt suit him you may as well play with ten men for all the good he will do.

Personally I have always seen John Terry as one of those sportman who may lack the natural attibutes of most of his top level peers but by being more committed, brave, willing to sacrifice himself for the team etc he actually makes up for it and is able to go toe to toe with others at the top of the game. Its actually something to be admired I guess, making it through hard work rather than relying on pure ability. Problem with people like that is that once they are not able to throw in their additional hard work, bravery etc into the match then they are back to relying purely on their ability, which is limited in comparison to others.

I don't think it helps when he is taken off at half time v City, sent off v West Brom and thus missing from the Palace game....mentally he and the team take a bashing when your "leader" isn't around

"generally acceptable" I guess the Russian will have to grease a few more palms for an official rubber stamp.

The problem is the location. It's not a problem to build a soulless ground out of corrugated tin on a rubbish tip in the middle of nowhere.

[WoodleyRoyal]

so does this mean when you move stadium you will no longer be called Chelsea? isn't the name owned by the Chelsea pitch owners - move stadium lose the name?

That is correct
