How a real captain deals with a child.

[Roy Jones Jnr]

Its amazed me that Sakho has managed to turn it around a bit with the uncomfortable/crap footballer tag that surrounds him. When in truth it couldn't be any further away from reality! He is an exceptional footballer for a defender, his passing is quality and the reason why he'll give away a few from time to time is because of the difficulty of the passes. He attempts all sorts, a lot go forwards, zipped into feet and as a defender, he is very good also. Does he make mistakes? Yes. Don't they all? Does he look a bit awkward on the ball? Sometimes. But does that make him crap?

Far from it.

It happens.

Just look at John Stones yesterday, he's another who dares to play as a centre back. Lost the ball near his own box and ended up giving away a penalty and getting sent off because of it.

Will we now see accusations of Stones being poor on the ball by these daft commentators?

No we will not. Stones will continue to be regarded rightly so as a ball playing CB, you take risks every now and then you'll make a mistake but i'd rather that than the CB just booting it out every time.

As i said previously, Big Mama is the comfortably the best ball playing CB in the Premier League. If you watch him every game like i do you will see that, if you listen to commentators and your fellow ****y fans who have also heard a commentator tell them he's poor with the ball then you will not.

He has improved has Henderson.

But I would hope we produce a better player than him in his position but to be fair we haven't yet. I would pick Milner in central midfield for England as well. City obviously have better players than him there but England do not.

You know we're in the doldrums when Jack Colback and players of that ilk get call ups. Mark Noble is similar.

I am also miffed why Tom Huddlestone never got a crack. International footy is different. It is slow as sin. He would be in his element being able ping passes all over the gaff. He would rather give chances to hustle and bustle players like Colback who hasn't got a great deal of talent and would get shamed for his technical skill on the international stage.

Ruben Loftus Cheek could probably play for England now without having barely represented Chelsea. If he actually starts a few games he is in there.

I would say that the English players coming through will be technically superior to the ones we have now. We have known we were technically deficient for about a decade. Our players should have different attributes. They need chances though and the championship may not be the best place for them. It is probably the most physical league around and clubs habitually put 18 year olds in it? Harry Kane proved it doesn't work.

I'm willing to bet there's a very strong possibility that Woy Hodgson has never heard of Ruben Lofty Cheeks.

All the money in the world can't buy class. Chelsea will always be that pathetic irrelevant team they were prior to 2003.

I'd kick them out for a few years actually. Chelsea are a disgrace to England both on and off the field. Taking us back to the stone ages.

Truer words have not been stated in a very long time.

Their Champions League ''win'' was an embarrassment to our league.

As Dirk said, they're behaviour on the pitch and off the pitch is a disgrace, we can but hope UEFA kicks them out but we know it's not gonna happen, Sultan Ibragimovich or whatever the ****s name is has too much money stuck up Platini's ass.

Here's what would have happened if Balo dared step to Stevie

[rorymac]

I would clap up Mario Balotelli in a fucking heartbeat, son.

I'd leave him in a heap of broken bones.

[Sparked_26]

Why aren't moderate Chelsea fans coming forward to apologise for the extremists?

@mrdavidwhitley

[Cechmate]

Can't wait to tear into some Chelsea fans when they come to The Emirates.

Let's see them try and bully people round my manor. I'll leave all them racist neanderthals in a heap.

[Sparked_26]

Better than revelling in the fact that your club is racist

Sorry...what?

They should be thrown out of Europe

I would never defend my club if it was racist

Explain how Chelsea as a football club are racist.

[QUOTE=Dirk Diggler UK;15395975]Chelsea fans thrive on this sort of thing, The song is born out of the incident with John Terry and Anton Ferdinand.

Not really. Fans who go to games are ashamed. Your just a Herbert from Leeds who never goes to games.

But a European trip for a Chelsea fan is tainted now whether they are white or black. Another point - all our fans aren't white you ****** ****s. But with a trip carrying the threat of being tear gassed and being a target for violence from local police and just locals for the actions of complete strangers.

Try and put it into context.

I think you two are trolling.

[Cechmate]

When Chelsea didn't punish John Terry in any way, shape or form. That was sending a message to the world that they condone racism.

When their captain is shouting racial slurs at people on the football pitch, it's no wonder their fans behave the way they do. John Terry is a role model to these neanderthals.
