    For the record, i believe we are capable of spending like City and United. but what happens is that there is a mistrust between the board and the management at the club. we had been champions and pocketed £150m, and not to add our sponsorship deals. we can keep u with them if we use the right methods. because if at the end of the day FIFA/ UEFA hit us with a ban we can point to both PSG and City. i think the board is preparing for Conte’s exit or they are fed up with negative and boring tactics, and are not sure if he can improve.

    But to their credit United have made a stunning come back, and that is the kind of attitude that you need when you are chasing top 4.

    Lucky, I expected nothing from yesterday because of what you say above all I was hoping for was a performance but even that was missing like you I was wondering how we could be by comparison so much more offensive v Barca v how we were against City.

    I certainly wouldn’t bet against City winning the CL on current form. Cheers 999

    You have truly excelled yourself with your last post and without doubt the funniest and also the most gifted and knowledgeable poster and we are so lucky (ha now I get your title) you share as such on this forum, crying shame you don’t provide us more in depth analysis it’s truly amazing, can I please request you share it more often and it will make whatever comes next far easier to endure.
    Thank you.

    Wise fan, I want you be right mate but our financial results alongside FFP and the cost of building the new Stadium would suggest that’s not possible.

    Having said that I do think we’ll spend more next Summer firstly because we will have up to £300m from the sales of Hazard and probably Courtois and secondly because Roman will want to show he’s backing the new Manager however losing Hazard will be massive for us.

    But medium to long term if we continue as a club to adhere to the current FFP rules and have to fund the Stadium it will be difficult. FFP 2 would be advantageous to us though with club’s limited to 100m Euros of net transfer spending. Cheers 999

    In my humble opinion, you are one of the good posters. let the frustrations not get the better of you mate. i think 999 is the moderator of this site whether we like it or not. and as we know its always difficult to please everyone. as in every place leaders won’t satisfy all of the people they serve for. i still believe respect is a good thing. and that said i respect your views 100%. i do understand sometimes the heat of the moment can get the better of us at a times. but my belief is that 999 is doing a tremendous job in this forum, under a very difficult circumstance.

    Thanks mate but myself and nine are beyond niceties it won’t happen.
    I stick to football debates end of, but now LD has decided to climb from wherever he has been hiding to have a pop and get gobby, yet without doubt if I had taken to that childish sniping then it would probably been deleted by now.
    That mate causes frustration, but eh according to those guys
    I’m aggressive, big mouth, impolite, negative, whereas others seem to think otherwise and contibute in a good manner
    But eh, you can please some people some of the time some of the time but never all of the people all of the time, ha think that’s right.

    Anyway move one Plyon. i don’t if 999 has any malice at heart. so let us focus our upcoming games. both of you are good guys. and more importantly you share the blue sky and Chelsea. we can ill afford a sibling rivalry in this forum after the last few difficult games. we need comforting.

    BP, can you highlight what I have posted today that would have been deleted if posted by yourself? Thats what you just said to cm there while playing the victim. You can not do so because you are talking absolute nonsense.

    Pylon, re yours post @10:49pm for the very last time:

    ” If you have any issues with a moderator’s decision, e-mail us at editor@teamtalk.com, but DO NOT use the forum to complain.”

    The above is one of the rules of the forum which you constantly disregard.

    It’s not an easy job being Moderator and I will hold my hand up and say that I haven’t got everything 100% right but hand on heart I think I’ve got it mostly right.

    My only objective is to keep this site in the best place it can be for everyone.

    I don’t want to edit anyone’s posts , I don’t want to delete anyone’s posts and I don’t want to see anyone banned from the site and I certainly don’t enjoy seeing any of the above applied to Chelsea posters inc yourself.

    But you don’t have the right to continuously call into question my integrity as a Moderator as per what you’re insinuating in your post above and if you you have a complaint about how I moderate this site then please feel free to email mail the Editor and complain but don’t keep doing it on here!

    Slept on it
    Makes no odds 9 we ain’t gonna get on and let’s leave at that and I will continue to focus on football debates and leave so called snide remarks out of it perhaps a tad immature and for that will apologise as you views are well balanced on here.
    But sorry LD is probably the biggest pillock that graces this site.
    Good day all.

    There is no getting away from the fact that the tactics employed by Conte at the weekend were absolutely terrible and totally negative. No matter what kind of spin he tries to put on it, he was far to negative in his approach. Not saying we would have won but with the attacking array of talent we have I am sure that we would have caused them problems in the same way as we did against Barca

    All pundits, press and TV have been vocal in the negativity and even on MNF, Neville could provide statistics to show up Conte for what he was trying to say was inaccurate

    Enough said so we need to move on and hope that Conte will take on board the comments plus those from people like Hazard as well and we can take a much more positive approach against Palace at the weekend. KTBFFH

    The word negative isn’t the only word that i could describe what we have witnessed on Sunday. it was more than negative. it was unprecedented for the champions to not even try and set foot in to the City half? and we think it was not bad?

    Wise fan, there is a significant majority view on here that what we saw on Sunday wasn’t good enough but in the words of one our wisest of posters 1905. “Enough said so we need to move on and hope that Conte will take on board the comments ( from the pundits) plus those from people like Hazard as well and we can take a much more positive approach against Palace at the weekend. KTBFH”. Cheers 999

    lol bp you continue to persist you only debate football while continuing to throw insults, I think that makes you a bit of a tosser your self. continue to play the victim if you like but don’t give it out like you do if you can not take it.

    I responded to your arsenal fan tv like conte out agenda. I think anyone with intelligence can see the issues are far greater than the manager and while I can understand any ones disgust at seeing us play so pathetically negative, I think calling for conte’s p45 when you can not explain how we could have done better is pathetic too.

    If nine posted conte should be sacked on basis of sundays performance I would argue with him also, its not about cliques or agenda’s for any one else except you and wise fan on here.

    Given the opportunity that we had a decent replacement available then I would support the immediate sacking of Conte

    IMO, there is no excuse to put out a team of our calibre with the intent to sit back and not even try to score. For me, there is no possible excuse whatsoever and we clearly showed against Barca and ManU that we are very capable of taking games to the opposition

    What I cannot fathom, and for me Conte’s attempt at an explanation is not acceptable, is why the reigning Champions of England would stoop to such pathetic standards and not try to win a game of football…?

    Maybe it is just me but I would rather lose 10-0 but at least have tried to play a game of football than to perform like we did on Sunday. Simply inexcusable in my book. KTBFFH

    That’s fair enough 1905, but I disagree with you, I would change my mind if you or bp could explain how we could have done better, where we mainly disagree I think is I would not have preferred us to get battered trying to play to losing 1 nil and moving on to the winnable battles with the players out of the firing line and all the heat on conte. when I take emotions out of it I do not find it hard to forgive conte for this.

    we took it to utd, and to a lesser degree barca because they were winnable games, city are far superior to both those sides imo and we could not get enough numbers forward without leaving cesc and danny exposed, I think its best they were protected and we can move on
