Fortunately.......

.... when Chelsea play their next League game against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Tuesday 2 Jan 2007, Michael Ballack will NOT be playing as he will be suspended after collecting five yellow cards (the fifth being collected on Boxing Day against Reading).

Why do I say fortunately?? Well if Jose (Our Special One) won't drop him, the only way out of the team for Ballack is either suspension or injury!!!

Although Ballack has scored a Champions League goal (albeit from a penalty) and the odd goal or two or three in the Premiership, what has the man contributed to the team?

Well apart from conceding needless free-kicks, which have generated goals for the opposition (Reading and Fulham) spring to mind - I would say absolutely nothing!!

I have said in a previous post that Ballack strolls around like someone taking their dog for a walk in the park, now (courtesy of my son) I say that Ballack strolls around the football pitch like he owns it and has the divine right to be on it.

Maybe he has a case if he was playing for Germany or his old club Bayern Munich, but this is Chelsea and this is the Premiership and Chelsea are the CHAMPIONS!!!

Ballack HAS NO comprehension of the Blue shirt, the history, the Blue badge and the fans (plastic or not) that support and follow the club, the badge, the shirt. For a man of his supposed class and calibre, his performances in the Chelsea shirt have been nothing short of disgraceful.

I can name a whole list of players that were rubbish playing for Chelsea FC down the years, but rubbish or not, these players gave their all for the shirt, the club, the badge and the fans which pales Ballack's contribution completely into oblivion.

Not so long ago Jose said that Ballack was one of his untouchables. Now unless Jose can see something different from the rest of us - did Jose mean that the ball doesn't touch Ballack? Somehow I doubt it!!!

So what does Jose mean exactly???

I don't know, you tell me!!

REMEMBER - I WAS THERE WHEN WE WERE SHIT!!!!!!

    I WAS THERE WHEN WE WERE SHIT

    I am watching Chelsea TV as I write this entry and what you read below is a copy of an email that I have sent to Chelsea TV tonight, in particular to the presenter Neil Barnett who thinks he is the dogs bollocks, but in reality is nothing but a four-eyed bald-headed twit.

    Here comes the copy:

    -------------------------------

    Dear Neil

    I don't expect a reply or this email to be read out because all my previous emails have been ignored in the past.... but man you are priceless

    First the good news about JT - seeing him run at Cobham on Chelsea TV was extremely encouraging.

    Now down to you - as I say you are priceless!!!!

    You said that Steve Clarke said "If we get outsung by Fulham tomorrow we might as well shut Stamford Bridge down."

    You said "there you go a challenge for you Chelsea supporters."

    You claim that you have been writing, reporting for Chelsea for the last 20 years. Even you must realise that 'your hardcore' singers can't afford to go to games anymore and that they have been replaced by the greencoated, corduroy trouser, brown shoe wearing brigade with more money than sense, that do not have a clue how to support the team they are watching.

    So please do not patronise the remaining hardcore fans that can afford to get into Stamford Bridge and do their best not to get outsung by the visiting fans and please do something about the hierachy that really seems to want to distance themselves from the 'REAL' Chelsea fan who nowadays has to do their singing from the pub or from indoors.


    Regards
    41 Years A Blue

    Proud Season ticket holder and singer in the MHL Stand


    ---------------------------------------------

    There you go. I don't expect a reply and I don't expect my opinions to be broadcasted - well they haven't before, perhaps the hierachy are afraid of the 'real' fans telling the truth!!!

    John Terry Has Back Surgery

    Captain marvel John Terry, underwent keyhole surgery on his back in France yesterday, and if you believe everything that has been reported, JT could be out for as little as EIGHT DAYS to as much as THREE MONTHS.

    Whatever length of time JT is out, Chelsea are already missing him - conceding six goals in three Premiership matches and with the draw against Reading on Boxing Day the gap at the top of the Premiership is now four points.

    General opinion is that JT will be back in four weeks, but for me his return cannot come quick enough.

    The following is a list of games that JT will miss (should his absence be four weeks):

    Fulham (H)
    Aston Villa (A)
    Macclesfield Town (H)
    Wycombe (A)
    Wigan (H)
    Liverpool (A)
    Wycombe (H)

    Chelsea's owner Mr Abramovich, spoke last week about the 'days of Chelsea's spending being over,' and that he wanted to see more players from the Reserves and Academy forcing their way through to the first team in years to come.

    Tomorrow against Fulham, Jose has a great opportunity to do just that. With Boulahrouz suspended, Jose can call up reserve team defender Adrian Pettigrew to make his first team debut.

    I watch alot of Reserve team football and I know that Pettigrew won't let the team down. He is big, strong, good in the air and has a fair amount of pace.

    Whatever happens, its squeaky bum time, starting tomorrow against Fulham at Stamford Bridge.
