kingcav Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 christ, that spurs side. and drogba is king. we lose so much when he's not playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcav Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 oh and re: ballack. I really liked the idea of playing him at dmc. ideal as we don't really need a mikel at home to man city with their awful away record. ballack has a great range of passing and is in his latter years. good work guus. it's kinda like when england played beckham in that role against the minnows at home. they can both ping balls about and get moves going. I approve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanyi Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The reserves lost that game 4-0 apparently, Paul Clement saying on the official site that some of the young players "thought [they] had lost when they saw the team sheet" which is a terrible attitude to have. If anyone saw the game, how did Mancienne, van Aanholt, Mellis, Di Santo and Stoch play, since they're widely considered the most talented players of that XI? Be interesting to hear how well (or badly) they did against such an experienced Spurs side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Stuck the ressies on start of the second half but only watched a few minutes before switching to the West Ham game. Just in those few minutes Spurs looked a level up all over the pitch, as is to be expected. On an unrelated note, what are peoples views on the booing of Robinho? Was discussing it with a mate who said he was all for it. Didn't understand it myself. This is a lad who spent all summer looking to join us and in doing so burnt his bridges with Real. For whatever reason he ended up at City, be that our fault or not. If the booing has killed any chances of seeing him in a Chelsea shirt then it's a real shame imo. As poor as he was on Sunday, the lad obviously has some real quality and is clearly a class above our current wing options. Can only think people are a little bitter (not quite the right word) over him joining City and not us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoolblowsme Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 bridgekings how reliable is that pre-season list? Sorry for asking again, but I was really curious if anyone knew how to get tickets for any of those games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Sorry, missed that question before. Erm it's not officially been announced but it seems pretty certain. Think the Seattle game may have been confirmed, can't quite remember. Think it's safe to say we wouldn't be making the trip Stateside for just the one game. No idea with regards to tickets though. Nothing would have been annnounced yet anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoolblowsme Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Oh ok. I'm definitely going to get tickets for the Chelsea Inter game. Maybe the Club America Inter game as well. DIdn't know where to start for tickets though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poyplemonkeys Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't care about the badge kissing, which you evidently do, I care about the treatment I saw towards Drogba from our fans both online and at the ground. Now fine, his attitude may have been questionable at times, but it seems to have been revealed that it was due to Scolari - this from interviews with the both of them, and manifesting in the turnaround back to the Drogba of good form with Scolari gone. I mentioned the badge kissing because a few pages back you brought it up when he ran to the fans and kissed the badge and pointed to the ground as if it was his home, and wondering if it was genuine. For what it's worth I think it probably is genuine, just it won't last. Again I realise it was down to Scolari, but I take issue with someone playing with the attitude he was, regardless of the situation. Chelsea pay his wages, not Scolari, and he should want to perform for Chelsea regardless of his and Scolari's falling out, which clearly wasn't the case.

Care Free Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah had no idea why Robinho was getting booed tbh. The only person who should be booed is Kenyon, who messed the deal up. Robinho admitted several times where he wanted to play, became severley disliked at Madrid, so felt he had to join City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Charging a £4.45 booking fee for Semi Final tickets, swindling bastards! And tickets have to be signed on delivery, that could cause a few problems. Still, opportunity to shush a few Arsenal fans will be lovely. Getting rather nervous ahead of the draw tomorrow. Would like to avoid the English clubs. Wouldn't mind Munchen or Porto. + Lee Sawyer has gone out on loan to Wycombe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted March 19, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2009 Eesh. On top of £44 tickets (which is what's being encouraged by the atmosphere folks, since the CC Final was a shambles). I've got enough loyalty points to get me one on ST first day next Tuesday.

bridgekings Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Haven't announced what members will need yet. They'll be waiting to see how the tickets sell to ST holders.
