Lot of people are convinced Cole will be leaving in January. Obviously it's rumours but they seem very certain
I think after the AVB fiasco, Ambramovich had finally decided to knuckle down on everyone. It's clear to see that he blamed the players for AVB's sacking and his stance seemingly has not changed. Lampard is definitely going to be released after this season. Perhaps Cole too. Terry is gone in 2014 when his contract expires. Seems like their is a radical change of club image taking place both on and off the pitch. As Ambramovich said after we won the CL.... This is just 'the beginning' and not the end

Terry won't be gone in 2014. He won't be a starter week in week out, but he will be there.
I'm happy we have a Bertrand ready to step in once Ashley's gone.
He will be. Chelsea have already shown that they are not going to be retaining old players on massive wages in the FFP era and this is further strengthened by the fact that we capable replacements to step into Terry's shoes. Chelsea actually have a solid plan to deal with the FFP. Whether it works or not we will have to see
Have high hopes for Cahill to improve myself. Always thought he's an excellent CB
Has never put in a bad shift for us so far and he has played in big games such as against Barcelona and the CL final. Great all-round CB

Brilliant performance today but was helped by Norwich not sitting back on their lead. But when we did have the ball in tight spaces and had the trio of Oscar-Hazard-Mata playing triangles they made it look so easy. Would love to see the so called experts now which said they wouldn't be able to play together as they are all similar. Maybe it is just me and my negative attitude but i am trying not to get carried away but i must say things are looking very impressive at the moment for us.
Now to change the subject to the Cole Tweet and something i thought of. The FA fined Rio Ferdinand 40k for a racist Tweet so i am interested to see what they hand to Cole. Why do i get the feeling they will come down harder on Cole? Also anyone questioning our club in general the fact we will take action against Cole when Utd never did with Rio says it all.
Now lets start off with a post i done last week shall we and read the highlighted part.
And i wonder why my feelings where that they would come down harder on Cole for ***** sake!!!!!! Now i have been away from internet for a week so bare with me people because this could be long. So the FA are basically saying calling them twats is more harmful and wrong than racism. This is the same FA who will push the Serbian FA to take action on their fans and push Fifa to make sure they are punished to the maximum. I was working all day yesterday so didn't learn the news until around 8 last night and for the first time in my life for a split second i thought what is the point of this, i mean football in general when you have such poor inconsistancies and slating towards the club you love and it's supporters. Then after that thought passed i thought **** it! I am Chelsea F.C media hate us, opposition fans hate us and now its pretty **** obvious the FA hate us. All this will do is make the club stronger and unite our supporters and as we know as a club when the knifes are out it drives our side on.
Continuing with this absolute bullshit the things which annoy me goes as followed.
Rant over
- People accusing Terry of being a racist when neither the court of law or the FA deemed him a racist but it's still ok for journo's and some black players to label him as one.
- Journo's having an agenda against our football club because they have not much access to the top. Before anyone dis-agrees with me Neil Ashton (not sure who he writes for) said as much on a podcast last year.
- Some media sources branding our club and our supports racist because we backed John Terry and continue to do so.
- People slating Chelsea for not stripping Terry of his captaincy but fail to point out we actually fined him unlike Utd with with Rio
I've been saying this for so long. The simple truth is, that its easier to sack a new manager than sell off Lampard and Terry, of course you cant have him telling everyone that's pretty much now it went down, hence a non disclosure form.
Just wait and see how people will come here and call you pathetic and deluded for what you just said.
Not the case the FA hates Chelsea. They're just incredibly useless and as much use as a chocolate fireguard
The amount of times they have tried to break Terry and Cole is unreal. They fined Cole more money for speaking to Chelsea while being an Arsenal player than they fine people for racist remarks. They stripped JT of the captaincy more than once, it's a farce.
You don't have to sell them off thought, plenty of managers have come in and dealt with them brilliantly. Everyone paints these players as villans and everytime something happens which they may dislike they go ring uncle roman to help them fix it. Di Matteo has shown the way you handle the likes of Lampard and Terry and how to leave them out and when. These are two of the most decorated players in the history of this football club, a football club which has never known glory like it so you can see why fans will be drawn to them. Is that period over, yes i believe it is but in time it will be changed for a new bunch of players to make their mark and it has started already.
Wrong and wrong.
They could have done much much worse to Terry, on a number of occasions. as for Cole, seems I was right about teh code of conduct, he's been hit harder because he was in the side. again they could have been much harder on him.
The havent dealt with them, they had to work with them, never actually been able to sideline either. Only reason its happening now is because they are hugely creaking and its one club legend doing to two others.
On what occasions could we have done worse to Terry? I don't care what code is what, can you seriously tell me the fines are fair?
Well if they are so bad when they get dropped and go crying to Roman then it's surely never a situation that will go away unless they do so yes we have dealt with it.
You know they could have immediately stopped him from playing for England, once he was charged pending the outcome of the court right? They were 100% entitled to do this, and usually they do. They actually made an exception to let him continue playing for England. Even if he hadn't retired, they also had recourse to say he could never play for england again. Again they never had that in mind.
Well yes it is fair, if those are the rules set down and the players agree to : If you screw up in England colours we will throw the book at you. If it wasn't for that, then I would say its very unfair. But since it apparently is, and the players knew about the code, since its been about since January, he hasn't got much recourse. The code is saying: If you play for your country we will hold you to a higher standard.
It didnt go away, not till it was arguably the straw that broke Romans back, as Alcaraz points out.
