Good idea. Buy Falcao for Liverpool. Then nick Chelsea's main striker and throw him away. I like your thinking.

Until you change your name to GavBlueKing there will be doubts about ya. The Liverpool/Cork thing is not going away. :pac:
Liverpool - funny accent to some
Cork - Funny accent to some
Liverpool - Hates the capital city
Cork - Hate the capital city
Liverpool - most successful sports team from area wears red
Cork - Most successful sports team from area wears red. (can use Rugby or GAA as example :P)
Kess - Liverpool
GavRedKing - Cork
Kess = LFC supporter
Gav + Cork = LFC supporter.
I am not trying to convert anyone bar the Corkonians.

Gold star for you Kess. :cool:
Maybe I'm just confused about who I support.:o
Of course you may be adopted and are really from Dublin blood, in which case you are not wanted as part of the LFC support.
And that's how I alienate all of Dublin with one sentence. 0 -

Good call ^ that will anger the Dubs, not sure if any of the lads on here are Dubs though.
The 4 generations I know of, on both sides have no Dublin blood anyway, well apart from an aunt that married into the family a good few years ago, a blow in * really.
So I'm well on my way to been accepted, yaaay.
*No sexual jokes :pac:0 -

You will only be accepted when you turn on the Chelsea support in a manner you cannot come back from, along with finding some way to make a comment that offends most that read it.
Funnily enough Chelsea supporters have never been a bugbear of mine over the years. I think I have grown up knowing too many long term Chelsea supporters to regard the Chelsea support as plastic flag blow ins. Plus one of my best match going memories happened at Stamford Bridge when I was in with the away support on the day that Kenny scored the goal that wrapped up the title for us in 1986 so I don't think I will ever have the disdain that some supporters have for Chelsea. You lot had a right good team that season but bottled the title challenge in style, something you made up for over the past near decade.
The money thing never bothered me either because I know deep down that if a billionaire had taken over Liverpool rather than H&G and that billionaire was willing to invest heavily in the team that I would have loved similar league success to what Chelsea have had since Roman came in. The days of clubs winning the title without massive backers one way or the other are gone, so to mock a team that has a willing backer seems churlish to me when I know I would not be unhappy to see one at my club.
Think I had my knife in Chelsea during the Gullit years though as I despised him and I had no love for the man he replaced either.:mad:0 -

I could come back under a new re-reg and troll Boards for awhile then.........actually thats not a bad plan.Funnily enough Chelsea supporters have never been a bugbear of mine over the years.

86?? :eek: I was only about 10 months old at that stage.

TBF to Roman he, unlike a lot of Billionaire owners that have gone before or after him seems to genuinely love the club and its fans, now that could also be the fact because hes pumped in and around £1 Billion fo his own money into the club to get us to where we are today and he has to but I think hes done good by not changing things to radically, well except for managers, he changes them every 18 months. :pac:Think I had my knife in Chelsea during the Gullit years though as I despised him and I had no love for the man he replaced either.:mad:
I liked Gullit, well more so as a player but he tried to change things around the club and the setup when he took over from Hoddle, who I dont like, but the man is fairly knowledgeable .0 -

I was 12 at that time with my 13 birthday to follow in a few months. It is still as fond a match day memory for me as Istanbul in 2005 is.
And speaking of 2005, another one of my most fond LFC memories came from that year and involved Chelsea. The Anfield leg of the semi final was one of the loudest football matches I have been at, and certainly the loudest I was at in England.
As for Gullit. I just could not take to him as a manager and thought he was a spoofer. Hoddle I can admit was a pretty decent manager but as a person I disliked him.
I think Chelsea have had quite a few likeable, from a rival supporter's pov, managers over the years. I know that I can think of many that I regarded as good sorts over the past 20 to 25 years. I realy do believe that the public's perception of Chelsea has been badly skewed since Roman came in with even a lot of older supporters either forgetting or chosing to forget what Chelsea FC was like as an old first and second division club.
Any mention of Chelsea FC usually has me thinking back to the teams of John Neal, John Collins, and Bob Campbell and then fast forwarding to the eras of Vialli, Ranieri, and Jose.
As for your turnover of managers that people love to point at, and make out to be some kind of new(ish) occurrence. Well it is hardly new and I think that it is almost traditional at Chelsea for managers to have shortish reigns. Pretty sure that during my lifetime (born August 1973) that no Chelsea manager has managed the club for more than 3 full seasons. So it is hardly something that came about under Roman and having two or three managers in a calendar year is also something that did not come in under Roman.
Edit: John Neal managed for four full seasons, so that means Chelsea have only had one manager that managed the club for four seasons during my life time, and you have to go back to the 1960s* to find Chelsea managers who matched or bettered that.
*when their managerial reigns began.0 -
Stamford Bridge in the away end as a 12 year old must have been an excellent experience. One you're likely not to forgot anytime soon.
Ya the turnover of Chelsea managers as you mentioned is something that we've been famous for. It can be a revoliving door at times but we're used to it at this stage I reckon.
I think every fan has a player from a rival club they have a soft spot, for me it would have been Stevie McManaman he was such an elegant player and in the era of Giggs and Becks he went somewhat under the radar. An excellent player though. Same goes for Fowler, he was lethal.0 -
What's with all this Liverpool Love In? :eek:
STOP IT, STOP IT NOW I SAY!
I'm going to work now and fully expect normal service to be resumed on my return.
To start you off The U21's played a 'friendly' against Arsenal yesterday, featuring JT and Azpillicueta, winning 2-0......Which was nice
From CFC Site.......A space in the fixture calendar for the Chelsea Under-21 squad over the international break was filled on Wednesday with a friendly against Arsenal, played at the Gunners' training ground.
The match was an opportunity for John Terry and Cesar Azpilicueta to gain 45 minutes of game time during the gap between first team fixtures as well. They played the first half.
Arsenal gave games to Jack Wilshere and Bacary Sagna who are returning from injury.
The Chelsea team was predominantly selected from our Under-21 squad and the result was a 2-0 win in our favour. Billy Clifford (pictured) scored a very good goal in the first half, finding the top corner with a shot after a cross was not fully cleared.
In the second half Islam Feruz, fresh from his hat-trick for Scotland Under-19s, doubled the advantage with a header from an Aziz Deen-Conteh cross.
Under-21 manager Dermot Drummy reports: 'It is great that it can beneficial for players like John Terry and Cesar Azpilicueta to come and play 45 minutes for the Under 21s. For the young players, when they have a player like John Terry talking to them they listen and they see how he prepares and how seriously he takes every game.
'That hopefully will rub off on the players and is something that they can only get from a player of John's magnitude.
'Unfortunately Danny Pappoe got a hamstring injury before the end but Rohan Ince made a return and got 45 minutes and it is good to have more players in contention for our next game.'
The Under-21s next league fixture is away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday, the venue Telford United FC with a 7pm kick-off.0 -

Ah now, it's always nice to read a rival fan with a few good words to write about Chelsea, and lets face it, it beats the oul wind up malarkey any day of the week in fairness!
JT's getting himself ready for Spurs, that's the stuff.
Damn that's where I was going wrong. I forgot to spout off some of the plastic flag/No history/buying silverware rubbish.
Don't worry though, come the 11th Nov I will have my knife in Chelsea for the day.0 -
