From top of the world, to top of the Premiership! he's bound to come

Fat Boy

He should be able to cope with the inevitable rapid descent too

loz_dormer1988

So Tottenham tomorrow at The Lane, predictions on the score? I think it'll be 2-1 Chelsea!

pauld37

So JT has been reprimanded by the club, but they're not disclosing the details. If the captaincy isn't taken away ( I don't think it should be ) the press will jump on it no doubt .

Be a tough one today, Spurs on a high after the United game, Villas Boas connection, I'd take a draw

pauld37

The only way is down, not too many of us can say that

Funkii Munkii

Why dont you think he should lose it ? on what grounds, serious question for once Paul, most people believe he should have lost it based on the racist comments element as well as dragging his employers name through the mud and I include Chelsea fans I work with and a whole load more on 5Live and Talk Sport.


To be honest this whole sorry saga has cast a shadow over the game for 12 months and I have little sympathy for CFC because if they hadn't requested the original court hearing be moved for their own needs then this would have been done and dusted months ago.

How much did he pay his legal team to write that statement btw

pauld37

Because he's innocent, as proved in a court of law?

If kung fu kicking a fan doesn't lose you the captaincy, then being guilty of nothing shouldn't

pauld37

......and players not supporting the "kick it out campaign" will cast a shadow for bit longer

yellowvanman

3 black players don't think the kick it out campaign is doing enough, and protest by not wearing the t-shirt (1 seriously embarrassing his manager!, but then his brother was recently racially abused).

Hardly going to set the racism issue back is it. Not like using racist language like Terry and Suarez.

RDM has said that this has tainted the Chelsea image, as well the FA saying it has put the cause back in England. So yes it is surprising to most that he is still the figurehead for CFC.

Funkii Munkii

It's pointless asking you a serious question, typical 5hite response

Funkii Munkii

I wonder why he didn't, you reckon you could work it out on your own

pauld37

I answered your "serious" question, now answer mine. Shyte response because you don't like it? oh dear

yellowvanman

Love the way you completely ignore the FA findings, the lack of appeal/admission of guilt. FFS it so so blatant, one quick look at the video made it very clear.

Is he a racist , probably not.
Did he use racist language, 100% yes.

2 charges, prob the right outcome in both.

Only question, is why the ban was less than Suarez's.

If Steve Bruce 'had' kung fu kicked a fan then I'm sure SAF would have stripped it from him

I think we need to put things into perspective here.I'm not saying that racist language is OK because it not in football or socially but is Ferdinand or Evra career over because of what was said to them....No.

You can do a two footed tackle and end a players career and you only get a 3 match ban,headbutt or punch a opposite player and get 3/4 match ban,swear at a ref 1 match ban.

Shout some stupid words you get a 4 or 8 match ban.

Funkii Munkii

Laughing at you, not crying Paulie


You're more blinkered than addi if your response is he was found not guilty by a court of law (just ignore everything else) the guy has even apologised for using racist language .

The only reason certain players weren't wearing Kick it out T-shirts (which I don't agree with) were because of one person and one person only he's the same person casting the shadow.

I think Aaron has answered your "5hite" question already, and lets be fair it wasn't a question, hence I wasn't sucked in, it was just a fumble in the dark trying to detract from the big issue once again.

pauld37

Cantona did kung fu kick a fan, and was given the captaincy the next season

pauld37

Right as ever Spankii ya Munkii

yellowvanman

pmsl. Ok then, that makes it perfectly OK for Chelsea to be represented by the Racial abusing, team mates wife ******** tosser! Hope it makes you proud.

FM, didn't think it possible that Addi could be out blinkered

Funkii Munkii

I never saw that one coming, he crept under the radar

Aaron1978

iTrader: (12)

I'm well aware that he did kick a fan. He also wasn't given the captaincy the next season. He was severely punished by both the club and the FA, he then led by example and was given the captaincy over a season and a half later.

so again

Man city doing well

Fat Boy

The kick didn't even really connect - just sort of grazed through the shirt as Cantona was by then already falling backwards as you can see on any clip, although the intent was there, I grant you.

However...., the punch that Cantona threw straight after was a peach I know because I was there a few rows behind. You could see the head of Palace thug (convicted armed robber by the way - a real angel) snap backwards as it landed and, strangely, all the abuse that he had run down from the back of the stand to give Cantona stopped as he cowered away from him. Quality moment was the Palace steward half way to the tunnel then throwing a cup of tea over Cantona as he walked off.

I'm with Cantona - Ferdinand minor should have decked Terry - it's the only thing the racist, charity abusing, mate's girlfriend ********, moron would understand.

Chelsea have reported Clattenburg...not sure what was said.

yellowvanman

And investigating one of their officials being struck by a missile thrown by their supporters, aimed at the Utd players.

Haven't hear that but i do know something happened.


Life is never dull when your a Chelsea fan...

Surely Clattenburg was just repeating what he thought the player had said?



They showed the steward being treated on Sky, here is the BBC report;

Allegedly charging £10k to show punters around Stamford Bridge on the grounds that it would be going to Charidee, but, ummm, forgetting to pass it on to said charity...

If Mark Clattenburg did indeed make a racist remark then Chelsea will be left with no option but to make him captain.
