26 Nov 2012 21:40:43
hey guys, wake up call for you. Please stop listing every player in long-winded posts and asking the eds what interest Chelsea have in them. They have to answer the same question day in, day out because some people can't read the posts or use the search function. Eventually, the same thing that happened before the summer window and ed002 will stop answering our posts. Me and the other regulars get bored of it and it is just pointless to subject any ed to it.
Read the posts people and use some common sense.
To every editor on the site, we all appreciate your amazing work you all do and we all apologise for the thick skinned persons who are rude to you or can't read the posts, we really appreciate the work.
COYB!

Get behind rafa. I personally hate him, however, I'd back any manager who come to Chelsea. No need for the booing. Hope we do well. Roman usually gets it right and gets us silverware. Here's hoping. Rafa aint the first manager to slate the opposition. jose was great at that and in my eyes hes a legend. We should pump Fulham. mon the blues!

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Really great to see the real Chelsea fans coming out in force and supporting Rafa and your club. This is what loyal and genuine football people do. Good luck to you and Rafa for the rest of the season.YNWA

Hey Eds do we have intrest in Mesut Ozil? he is not getting so much playing time lately since Modric joined. {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He has been playing! I'm guessing u saw the man city v Madrid game and saw that he wasn't, so that has made u guess that he's been struggling to get in.

It's modric who has been struggling performance wise.

Are u now going to ask if we're interested in modric.

Ppl on this site make me laugh with some of the players they ask if we're interested in.

Everybody is talking about Rafa changing Torres around but from what I've seen he's gotten David Luiz back in line which the 3 managers before couldn't. Also he has started getting mata and hazard to help defensively and have more positional dicipline about staying on the line. Maybe Roman had some idea what he wa doing.....

Hello ED,

Can you confirm interest from chelsea in any of the following players

1. Mamadou Sakho - PSG

2. Vladimir Weiss - Manchester City

3. Gojko Kacar - Hertha Berlin

4. Adam Hlousek - Slavia Prague

5. Franck Tabanou - Toulouse

6. Dominic Adiyiah - AC Milan

7. Davide Santon - Newcastle

8. Naoki Yamada - Urawa Red Diamonds

these are good young prospects ... so wanted to know the level on interest that chelsea has in persuing these talents ... Thank you.

Derek {Ed002's Note - I assume this is a list from some old fantasy football game - I am afraid I cannot answer such questions with long lists. I can see at least one that has already moved clubs.}

am really peed off at the so called chelsea fans yesterday holding up their stupid banners and booing! get behind rafa for god sake the past is the past move the hell on! its not helping the team one bit! i wish these so called fans could get banned as we dnt need them. Total shambles yesterday! and put shame on the true fans! A true fan wouldnt boo and hold up a stupid sign a true fan would cheer on the team no matter wot! kevinCFC

Believable13 Unbelievable4

I agree with your comments, Rafa may not be the fans choice but I thought the mindless brainless persons who chanted abuse and held up their pathetic banners were grotesque. No class in my opinion and will only drag your club through the mire. Not true Chelsea fans or football fans for that matter. If he fails and he won`t then you have a right to shout and throw your toys out the pram, but for gods sake the man has taken on this poisoned chalice and hadn`t even managed for one game.
How can you hate someone just because he managed LFC. He is a great human being, a great man and will always give his all to the club team and your fans. All those who acted in such a cringe worthy way should consider just what sort of people are you to berate a genuine and talented coach and manager that is Rafa.YNWA

I have posted on this site a few times now.i have to say that i agree with what melbourne cfc has to say most of the time,but when he says opinions welcome and hope it isnt to long winded for the muppets that are appearing on here lately.
Who are you refering to and peoples opinions are welcome as you stated,if they dont agree with you or there opinion is different does that make them a muppet.
I check this site on a daily basis and melbourne you are becoming incresingly irritating your opinion is most of the time spot on,but its your arrogance as if you run this sight and kiss eds balls{not the mp}.
Just relax mate you are like that irratating prefect at school everyone pretends to like.
everyones comments are welcome if you agree or not as the site would be pretty boring if we all agreed with your lordship,i like the fact that there is people on here with completly different views,that is why it is called chelsea banter page
Banter {NOUN} the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks.
IF i wanted to post on the melbourne cfc agreement page i would do so.
i hope i havent offended just i think all fans are welcome on here thats what makes it a laugh and that includes
the likes of puzzled and cozinoz its a laugh.

Gareth go on the rumour site and read the replies regarding Hummels. You will see why I said what I did. I meant no offence to the regularly readers/posters on the site. I'm just fed up with the posters giving me grief over stuff, when they are obviously just here for a wind up.

Once again meant no offence to anyone.

Wheelycfc

Agree0 Disagree3

I love reading Melbournes posts, they're always intriguing and an easy read. I often print them off and take them to bed as my light read before I fall asleep. I love nothing more than to settle down at night with a hot cocoa, lights dimmed, candles on, Mr Tibbles on my lap, my silk dressing gown on, and a fresh A4 piece of paper with paragraphs followed by 'Melbourne CFC' at the end. Its what I call 'Osgoods Special Time'.

Anyway, enough about me. Let's talk about Chris on the X Factor. What an annoying hu**et he is.

Comments always welcome, just not the trolls who want to wind people up, me and Melbourne do not appreciate it.

OsgoodIsKing

Agree4 Disagree3

Haha osgood

Agree2 Disagree2

If you read what i wrote properly, it says i agree with what melbourne writes its just the manner in which he calls people a muppet and osgoodisking proves what im saying banter is a slanging match of different opinions osgoodisking says that trolls wind him and melbourne up and you dont appreciate it.SO, if you get wound up on here you might consider that you might be taking it a bit to seriously.i just think we all support the great CFC with different opinions and that is what makes it a great page.

Thought david luiz played his best game of the season yesterday!

I hope us fans get behind rafa cos he was only defending his liverpool team! look what jose used to do! always in the media saying things!kevinCFC

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I'm very pleased you won't be buying that shocking rag again Kevin. I agree, the 'pundits' go into games having preconceptions of players, and no matter how they play, they get accessed accordingly.

All the matters is we, as supporters, get behind the team and the club. As long as Rafa is manager he is part of the club. We must rise above the pettiness that is tribal rivalries and give him our support.

I'm not a Chelsea or a liverpool supporter but was reading your page and nice to see that PR and a couple of other guys were taking the right stance for Rafa, genuine honest guys making a real sensible point.
As I said I don't support Chelsea but it was embarrassing to hear you boo him, it totally let your team down. Just the 16th minute applause would have been your perfect response to thank RDM.
Rafa is a football man and seems like a genuine guy and has said the right things and I believe he will do his best for you.
You have a great squad, it's was sad to see Torres so far from what he once was, with a proper goal scorer you will be in with a massive shout for trophies again.
Totally appreciate as one of the guys so honestly put it, you can't bite the hand that feeds you, but you can be honest enough to know that and why.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

falcao, I don't see him leaving Athletico Madrid in jan why would he? just look how well Athletico Madrid are doing, 8 points in front of madrid and right up there with barca.

you might get him in the summer but i cant see it in jan.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

I dont think he want too either, but he may be forced too if the club needs the money but if they manage to reach CL they dont.

Agree1 Disagree0

Reaching the CL will certainly not solve Athleticos money problems. As far as I know, Athletico still owe Porto money for Falcao. Is that correct Ed002?

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - No it is not.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Athletico don't owe any money to Porto because Falcao was bought with the help of a third party. {Ed002's Note - Right - and more than one third party is involved.}

Agree1 Disagree1

Ok thanks Ed002. When did they make the final payments of the transfer fee?

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - The issue was not the transfer fee but the method of financing and then refinancing with two significant third party owners in addition to the club.}

Agree0 Disagree0

So the money owed by Athletico is to the third parties, or were they given a percentage of the rights to the player?

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - There is no money owed. He has third party ownership. I really think it is best to steer clear of anything to do with the finances.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Fair enough Ed002, I know you generally like to steer clear as you view most posters unable to grasp finances. But my original point is still valid. Whether or not Athletico reach CL football, they are still in a bad financial position, no?

Also what percentage of Falcao does Athletico own?

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - Atletico's financial position is not too bad. They own around 60% of the player.)

Agree1 Disagree0

So would CL football mean they would be strong financially, or do they still have debt well over 100m euros owing to the tax department in Spain?

Melbourne CFC {Ed002's Note - The debt is managed. I really have no interest in looking at the finances of Spanish football today. AM are looking at a number of players at the very high end of the market right now.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok, understandable. I won't push the issue any further. Thanks for the info

Ed - we saw Rafa Benitez substitute John Obi Mikel today, we didn't see that often under RDM, not in league matches anyways,

do you think Rafa prefers Mikel on the bench rather than on the piitch {Ed002's Note - How would you expect me to answer such a question?}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Well he started him so obviously not.. What a daft question

Agree2 Disagree0

Mikel tends to loose conventration in the latter parts of the game and rafa knew that,so thats why he brought on romeu so that we won't concede a stupid goal

Agree2 Disagree2

26 Nov 2012 01:06:59
Thought today defensively we looked good. Very good performances from ivanovic and cesar. Luiz was a lot better but im still not convinced he would be part of our best centre back pairing. I would like to see falcao or cavani come in either with torres staying or leaving. Maybe a change of formation would suit our players. 4-1-3-2 as our players are attack minded players.

Just watched a website ratings on players in our game vs City and i got a huge suprise.
They rated:
Azpilicueta 5/10
Luiz 5/5
Cech 6/10 (MOTM from the "experct panel in DK)

I tought they all had a very good game especially Azpilicueta, do they just hate Chelsea or ? Even Dzeko,Balotelli and Torres got 5/10 i just cant see any logic in it, all of them played a horrible game and did nothing for their team especially Torres.

25 Nov 2012 23:44:16
I don't see why Rafa Benitez is getting the stick for a issue that was created by the Board and the Owner. Look at it from Rafa's point of view, he's been out of work for two years, after a dodgy spell with Milan who were still he shock after Mourinho left, and before that he worked miracles with Liverpool, and he's Liverpool team were Mourinho's Chelsea's bogey team.

So he's a good manager, and 'yes' he has said stupid things about Chelsea in the past but what manager or general human being hasn't ever said something, that has comeback to bite them in the backside, so cut the guy some slack, he's been dragged into do a job(A very hard job) and will try his best to get good results. All this booing gets the team nowhere, and doesn't help the team at all and neither the manager, and to be blunt I was quite embarrassed at how the Chelsea fans reacted to Benitez coming out of the dugout, and I know i'm going to get stick for what I've said so far and it doesn't bother me in one bit. But you have to look at today's performance and recognise that we defended brilliant, something not seen since the Champions League run last year, and we played well against a good City team.

So I know I'm going to get hated upon by people on here, but I couldn't careless to be honest.

So give the man a chance.

PR!

Believable11 Unbelievable0

Good post. Can't blame Benitez for taking a job that was offered to him. Responsibility lies at the feet of the owner and the yes men he has surrounded himself with. But in all honesty, I dont think Roman will ever take flack from the fans...something about 'not biting the hand that feeds you' and all that. Unfortunately this sacking has upset a lot of fans (myself included) and today was about showing support for Robbie.

I dont like Benitez, and cant see that opinion changing regardless of how he does. That said, I didnt boo him, and the whole thing is being overplayed in the media. It was much better that I expected it to be, it was support for Di Matteo more than anything. Much worse things happened in the crowd at WHL today. Lets see how Hammers fans get painted in the papers tomorrow? Pretty sure it will be a side story to the fact a few people turned up at Chelsea with with 'Rafa Out' written on A4 pieces of paper.

Blue25

Agree7 Disagree0

Great Post PR, couldn't agree more.

Rafa is here now whether we like it or not, personally I didn't like it so much, now I actually really do like it. I know I feel a lot more confident with him at the reigns than RDM, and yesterday proved it, we looked solid, which is nice to see as that is what Chelsea is all about. He said some things in the past yes, but who hasn't? I use to hate Ashley Cole when he was at Arsenal, now I love him. People say stupid things, and like he said, he was defending his team going into a Champs League Semi Final. I wish him all the best. Whilst he's our manager, and whilst he's helping my team be as good as they can be and win trophies, then he's good with me.

OsgoodIsKing

Agree5 Disagree0

Well said PR, while he is our manager we must show support. The past is the past, by giving him stick, it will only effect our teams performance.

Bring on Fulham! We have a run of games now where we can get 3 points consistently for a while. Let's hope we stay solid at the back and can begin to look dangerous in attack.

Geoff shreves interview with rafa after the game on sky was appalling.
He said that all of the fans were booing him and everyone was singing we don't want you here.
Give the bloke a break.
If he fails to get us in the top 4 then slate him all you want.
And all the div's saying they hate rafa cuz of all what he use to say about us during his scouse days , most if this was said during our champs league encounters when tensions are high and any dig u can have at the oppo is always welcomed.
I like the bloke.
