Jose won the league for Chelsea on two occasions with a team that grafted and worked for one another, they were not flash but got the job done. Do you think the Chelsea fans moaned when they won league twice on the bounce??


i don't mind a lack of flash if we win confidently. Looks like we'll do that today maybe, but the first 38 minutes or so didn't have me convinced. I should keep the faith, huh?

regardless, we looked like we couldn't buy three points against Sunderland and Blackburn, don't you think? I want the points, end of. I don't care about style vs points, but if the style isn't getting the points at least Mancini needs to show me he's going for it. Know what i mean?

cheers

Is Adebayor malingering?

It seems suspicious that he 'acquired' this latest injury so soon after his last whinge-interview

Mike we battered both them teams and on any other day we would have been 3 or 4 up. Sometimes the ball just don't go your way. People go into panic mode when they don't need to IMO, we have around 8 players out injured and are still doing ok. We sit nicely in 4th at the moment with what people have descibed as a shaky start!

We have stopped conceding goals and actually look pretty solid. This team will only get better as time goes on IMO. I'm happy with our start to the season, our plays not as fluent as I have seen us in the past but in the past we had a soft underbelly. Patients is key, I'm sure we will be playing like Brazil in no time....:-)
