Shock sacking

As many of you will have heard, Roberto Di Matteo was sacked from the Chelsea job just earlier today. As a chelsea fan it is deeply concerning that a manager with less than 50 games under his belt has been fired even with the Champions league and FA cup in the trophy cabinet from last season. It's ridiculous, how can you expect anyone to do a good job when they are under such a stupid amount of pressure... 

He lost 2 games, we had a slight dip of form in the league (who doesn't), there is no acceptable reason for Abramovich to rid RDM.

It's literally an abuse of his power, I accept that he has brought us such a prosperous era but that doesn't mean he can treat such people what I feel is a total lack of respect. Think of Arsenal and Wenger; no trophy for many years yet he still has the full backing from the club, something Roman needs to think about with the long term future of the club in mind, we are in a transition period and the success of 2012 cannot be expected to just happen without the leadership of Terry, Lampard or Drogba. His poor excuse for patience is wearing thin on chelsea fans.

On another note, as we are looking for a new manager, I personally want Guardiola for the long term management to bring our team to the standard of play that we see in the likes of Barcelona or Real Madrid. Short term I have know idea who to put in, but please god let it not be the toad that is Avram Grant, and i'm also not keen on Benitez either. I can only hope things will sort out for the better.  

    

 

My club: Chelsea, Part 2.

Who isn't nervous, watching the final of the most important match in your clubs history? It was a truly memorable night for me and all the more sweeter as I sat next a spurs fan, I could barely believe what I was seeing as Drogba stepped up to the fifth and winning penalty, and being a moody teen it's not often that embrace my brother but as two chelsea fans we couldn't help it, overawed with joy and moments that I have watched over and over again, they still give me goosebumps.

Just a few more words from me, my favourite past chelsea players are Gianfranco Zola, Eider Gudjohnson and of course Didier Drogba, my idol and I believe one of the best strikers that the premier league or indeed the world has ever seen. On his day he was unstoppable, and an emotional end to his Chelsea career. My feelings are summed up perfectly in a quote from Gary Lineker: "Farewell Didier Drogba. You have enthralled us, occasionally enraged us, but always entertained us. A striking superstar." 

One last word; there has been good times, bad times, and brilliant times. I remain forever faithful to the mighty blues, and wouldn't change that for the world. I hope I have given you some sort of small, and slightly biased, view on what it has been like to support my club; Chelsea FC.

My Club: Chelsea

Haven't posted in a while, been pretty hectic for me at the moment so I thought i'd do a post about my thoughts and opinions on my club; Chelsea.

I'll be honest, I am often taunted or accused by friends and fellow football fans of being a 'glory hunter'. As I have tried to explain (mostly in vein), like many people, I followed in the footsteps of my dad in terms of football; he supports chelsea and has done for over 40 years so it's only natural that from the age of 6 or 7 I have been a faithful blue. The money of Abramovich and the "Chelski" era began in 2003, so a few years after I began as a true blue, just thought I would clear that up for everyone!
As for the "armchair fan" thing, I must admit that I don't get to go to many matches as I would like but being an 18 year old student, as well as jobless, my budget doesn't really stretch to the £500 or so that a season costs nowadays. It's something which I touched upon in my last post and something that affects all us passionate footy lovers, extortionate prices in todays world of sport, but enough about that.

Chelsea's recent history has been pretty good, I feel quite lucky that I have grown up in a very successful time for my club with our first Premier league title and first major league success since the 1950s in 2004 under Jose Mourinho, aka 'the special one'! Of course everyone will argue that it was all down to the money and yes it's obviously a factor but tell me a team to win the league that hasn't spent a hefty sum of money? I'd also like to remind anyone that we were consistently in the top 6 of the league for some years prior so it's not like we just turned up with the cash and boughtlly with the disappointing league position, but I still wasn't confident for Bayern Munich in their own back yard.
