An open email to the Chelsea podcast

FYI
Subject was Chelsea 0 0 Liverpool - The Benny Hill show..

*****************
Hi - I'm not gonna pull any punches here so here goes..
I just watched the worst football match in my 17 years of watching the game.
Not only do Chelsea not deserve to win the league, they don't deserve to finish in the top 4 ,
in fact going on that match alone, they don't deserve to be in the premiership.

I think Scunthorpe could play better than that .. even Havant & W'looville can put 2 past Liverpool -- in Anfield.

Unlucky about the penalty .. but in a game where they had 0 (ZERO) shots on target .. I think there is a lot more
to worry about.


absolute rubbish of the highest order.. I have always stuck by Chelsea but after this
rubbish - It felt more like the Benny Hill Show then a premier league match - I'd nearly
just ignore all matches from now on.

Please read this on your podcast, It's easy to dismiss it as negative but believe me a lot more
chelsea fans feel the same way.

Regards

Unhappy fan!!

Was that written by you? It seems unclear. Either way it sounds like it was. I'm sick of your kneejerk threads every time Chelsea drop points anyway. Ridiculous.

Unearthly

Troll(and I hate that word) tbh

Only problem is that there is no Chelsea fans on here to wind up.

himarious the fact that chelsea fans are so **** and the fact that liverpool played better and didnt allow chelsea to play the way they usually do,chelsea didnt play to badly,liverpool didnt allow them to play,if anything pool deserved to win

Helix

i must agree tho, its one of the worst games of football ive ever seen

Unearthly

Chelsea and Liverpool have been borefests since 2004 so no surprise for me

~Rebel~

pretty scrappy game alright but in fairness jackdaw, this is the worst of your negative posts. dont deserve to be in th premiership? they're coming off the back of 9wins and a draw...and just carried on their incredible unbeaten home run. Utd lost today, should they be chucked out of the league too?

AnCapaillMor

It was better than any of champions league semi's.

Panthro

they dont deserve to be in the premiership?
four years unbeaten at home begs to differ

that would be great!! anyone ever do that in football manager, relegate united to the championship with the editor and watch all hell break loose!?

chelsea = boring, like old arsenal teams
liverpool = play for draw, come on draw, ITS A DRAW!!
united = while i dont like them, never have, never will, i'll gladly watch them play ahead of the above two!!

SPURS FOR THE CUP!!! just hope chelsea dont bore me to death...

equal after 30 games

Mr Alan

So then Jackdaw.... If Jose is so great, Grant is so ****e, why are their records the same? please explain. . . . . . .

AARRRGH

I find this open letter a bit puzzling considering its posted in a forum Chelsea staff definitely have no interest in.

On sky yesterday John Terry (chelseas 3rd best centreback) said grant has not brought in any new tactics, but has decided to keep everything a sit was under mourinho and to bring in his new tactics next year.

so basically he is saying carry on as the special one thought you.

Mr Alan

as the special one thought you?

were all these players groomed by Jose in the Chelsea reserves/youths over the years?

These players know exactly what they are doing. Jose "tactically" has been found wanting on more than one occassion in his life. And since leaving, Chelsea have been as good/better than they were under him.

Grant deserves a little respect from Chelsea fans.

Fratton Fred

Personally I think it is hilarious.

I wonder who all these life long (Well, four years anyway) Chelsea fans are going to support now. I hear the prawn sandwiches atVilla Park are nice these days:D

Grant isn't too bad, in fact he is one of the reasons why Pompey are where they are, he played a huge part in our transformation last season. His biggest problem is that he has inherited the same bunch of money grabbing primadonna players mourinho had, when he starts putting his mark on the team then I expect them to become a lot better.

get a grip jackdaw, at least you didn't have to sit and watch it live in the bloody cold :-)

terrible game, tactically inept, lampard unfit, ballack asleep, swp a lightweight, and a total inability to pass the ball to another blue shirt but at least liverpool were just as bad and happy to play for the draw.

Yeah, it was crap game but most of our recent encounters with the scousers have been , so no major surprises there, shame we couldn't capitalise on utd's slip up though.


you're not much of a fan if you're going to ignore chelsea from now on because of one poor game.... you should have seen how crap we were in the 80's :-)

I'll keep on supporting Chelsea thanks very much, as I have done for more than 20 years. Maybe hard to take but we did exist before Jose came!!!

As for jackdaw would you ever go somewhere else and grow up a little. Thats it. Unbeaten in how many games? Unbeaten at home in how long? We didn't win playing our worst game since I can remember and its lets relegate us and shut the club down. Sure why not eh?

I think the game spoke volumes more about Liverpool than it did about Chelsea. We played our worst game in possibly 20 years without a single shot on target at home. Now a team who have aspirations of winning the league come to town, watch us play as badly as that and are happy with a draw just begger belief. Cheslea are ashamed of themselves for that game and we acknowledge it. We are disappointed we didn't win, Liverpool are happy they got a draw!!!

Mr Alan

emmmm, no they're not. Rafa said after the game, a point at Chelsea aint bad usually but seeing how they played he was pissed off we didnt get 3.

please dont make **** up

iregk

I'm talking about the liverpool fans, not Rafa!!! Most people I work with in here are happy that they got a draw.

Mr Alan

well they are clowns. But at the same time, we were without Torres and have lost there most games over the last number of years, so at least we broke that trend!

Im just including it here, it was emailed to the podcast, I don't expect them to read it on boards.ie !

and in answer to "why is Grant not as good as Jose" .. we will see Grant's true colours as the season progresses, his test against the big 4 have been terrible,
2 losses to MANC and Ars and a 0-0 HOME draw against a Liverpool side that's in a slump..

SCULLY

In fairness to Grant he should get a full season with his own players and then be judged. When Jose left in the manner he did I all but wrote off Chelsea's season and yet they are still in all competions and looking in good shape (League Cup final - got a great chance obviously, league : we could sneak 2nd spot maybe, Champions league : got a kind draw so we could progress some ways there and the FA cup -who knows).

The Liverpool game was dire - Chelsea played very badly and apart from the penalty claim offered very little. But they have been on a great run until the Portsmouth game so I'm now unduly worried about 2 draws (pissed off at the missed oppertunities but not reaching for the panic button just yet).

Come back at the end of the next season and then judge Grant on his results(if he is still there of course!).

Would question the inclusion of Lampard though for the last game as he didn't seem match fit at all.

Still Essien and co will be back soon - am looking to see how (if) Anelka and Drogba play together.
