AVFCforever1991 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I think its quite obvious a couple of players have a big influence on the dressing room and even the fans. Edited February 28, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 28, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2013 Terry got criticised for that. I thought it was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Defeat for them at Steaua tonight. Certainly won't help the animosity towards Benitez one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted March 31, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Gary Lineker @GaryLineker7m Rafa Benitez said to have been dismissed by Chelsea. Interim manager being fired, a first, even for Chelsea surely! Edited March 31, 2013 by NurembergVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 FA Cup definitely the priority for Benitez now. IMO it shouldn't be, finishing at least 4th should, but another cup will look a hell of a lot better on his CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 might be Rafa priority but not Roman. If Chelsea dont get Champions League I dont see José going back to Chelsea as rumoured. doubt he up for that job. Other high profile managers be the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Not just Jose, without CL football they'll struggle to tempt any top manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think most top managers would be looking passed one season out of the champions league and would back themselves to return Chelsea to the top 4 (and a title challange) next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think most top managers would be looking passed one season out of the champions league and would back themselves to return Chelsea to the top 4 (and a title challange) next year. Including Mourinho. It's a shame we'll never see him cement his legacy with an upper mid table club, a fringe team with a bit of cash like a Spurs or a Shalke. An Aston Villa 'back in the day'. He has won everything there is to win, aside from the three champions league titles what more is there? By going to Chelsea he is taking the easy option in my opinion.

I think its unlikely that Chelsea will go from a potential 5th place to title challengers in 1 year. The 2 Manchester clubs aren't going anywhere for a while. Then there's Arsenal and Spurs they need to overhaul... plus of course... next year is going to be Liverpool's year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 FA Cup definitely the priority for Benitez now. IMO it shouldn't be, finishing at least 4th should, but another cup will look a hell of a lot better on his CV. Rafa is trolling Chelsea by resting players in the league. I can just see him leaving on the last day of the season saying "I'm out bitches." over his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Chelsea. I just hate them. Not in a passionate way, it's more of a resigned hate. They're like a guy who drives a Hummer and waxes his bum hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 If I was Rafa I'd put all my eggs in the FA Cup basket. That will look far better on his CV than 4th in the league. Plus he isn't going to be around to 'enjoy' CL qualification anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he isn't going to be around to 'enjoy' CL qualification anyway. Yeah exactly. In 10 years time people will only remember the cup wins anyway. Not whether you finished 4th that year or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 There is also a reasonable chance that Rafa will get a job at a competing Champions League club next season. It would be bloody typical if he finished 4th with Chelsea and then they knocked his new team out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 haha Chelsea fans on one forum think he is conspiring against them by going for 2 trophies and not caring about the league just to boost his own reputation. they are quite stupid, are tehy not going to celebrate if win these trophies?
