      Peggy… yeap, I guess that one went over certain peoples heads! (Unlike Goose’s thong which is normally round his ankles, the little tart!) As for loyalty, call me a romantic (or an idiot!) but I do like to think there is more in the game than we possibly give them credit for.

      Goldie… granted, apart from Harry they were all bought (as are about 98% of players in the Prem) but rather than spend top whack on a ready-made replacement like certain clubs, how many of the team you mentioned above, were bought dare I say out the bargain bucket and “moulded” to a degree? Sure, before you say, that might be due to not having/willing to spend the money on top door players, but I think Spuds have shown throwing serious amounts of money at players isn’t the only way to go.

        Yeth… a thong… 🙂

        Interesting comments about motivation above, for what’s it worth, I’m guessing the vast majority of Chelski players are easily in the 100k plus bracket when it comes to wages, some considerably higher, and they’ll get that regardless. And as we saw last night, the risk of losing Top4 wasn’t much of a motivation anyway. Chelski do have a seriously tough run of matches after the WBA next week (away to both Manc Clubs and then the Spuds!), with the small matter of a double header with Barca thrown in. If they can’t motivate themselves against Watford…

        And as for wanting CL next year, I wonder exactly how loyal these players are to Chelsea… it’s not as though many of them didn’t jump ship quick enough to sign on to HMS Chelsea…

          Spell check is a wonderful thong…

            I’d certainly give your left bollock for all that! 🙂

            Dunno Peggy, don’t want to think that to be honest, it would ruin the game even more for me…

              Peggy.. in my defense it was kinda coming across like net spend doesn’t count if you buy rubbish… 🙂

              And yes, paying players over the odds to make your club possibly look more attractive than it is, is going to attract a few players with one eye on their bank account. At least at my Spuds you kinda know the players want to be there, it isn’t about the cash as such. I mean, Sanchez is a prime example, everybody and his dog thought he was going to your mob but 600k a week later, he’s suddenly a YooUtd fan! 🙂

              Reminds of that Mrs. Merton/Debbie MacGhee interview… “So, tell me Ms. Macghee, what first attracted you to multi-millionaire Paul Daniels?

                Goldie… firstly, porridge is the devil’s spawn, secondly, try as you might, you’ve got more chance dating Marilyn Manson than you have in getting sympathy for Chelski’s plight! 🙂

                Peggy… sorry chumster, are yuou trying to say us paupers should feel sorry for teams who’ve spent 500million on rubbish and forgot where they put the receipts? Good one.. The fact they bought rubbish doesn’t distract from the fact they still went out and bought a coach load of players and by hook or by crook should be streets ahead of teams that didn’t…

                And as much as it comes to blowing my own trumpet, dare I suggest you all look no further than the mighty Spuds for an indication on how to put the “team” in “team”, won sod all mind you (thought I’d say it first! 🙂 )

                  Do we really have to have the net spend argument again? It’s about as relevant as what I had for breakfast (pancakes btw!).

                  Team A spends 500m on players, but sold 480 million, net = 20

                  Team B spends 100, on players, but sold 50 million, net = 50

                  Team A should still be fooking streets ahead of TEAM B as they BOUGHT 500 million worth of players!! 🙂

                    Got to disagree Wasplicker, it’s not Roman who needs to support the manager, it’s the players. They’ve down tools (again) and thrown their toys out the pram. There’s certainly a pattern showing at Chelsea, when the going gets tough, the players give-up and take the rest of the season off, while waiting for a new manager…. this isn’t the first time..

                      I know my 6-0 to Spuds was a bit optimistic…. 🙂

                              And we have another crazy 10-minute ending… got to love the Prem!

                              And to be fair, that was a pretty decent goal too.

                                    Peggy… absolutely, but the “kid” in me, who remembers jumpers for goalposts and the sheer thrill of scoring a goal, hates it when the attacker has made “zero” effort to even try and stay on his feet. He was already “launched” before contact was made. The attacker was basically playing the numbers, playing the rules, playing the percentages… playing everything except the bloody game!

                                    If I was MIB, those attempts at blatantly winning a penalty would be ignored…

                                    And as for your second longish post, he does look like the Chelski lads just don’t care… the talk was Conte had until the Barca games and the outcome there, but I’m starting to wonder if he could last that long…

                                        Bloody hell… that looked a bit harsh on the replay… barely touched him, a bit of the Oscars from Richahdlsklskddisison.

                                          Peggy… this is the worst Chelski performance I’ve seen for yonks mate, and it seems a “weak” team Conte has put out to me, do you think Conte is playing silly bullocks here?
