Absolute domination by Juve, they showed how teamwork is actually done. Our individuals' brilliance isn't gonna save our asses every time, obviously. Anyway, totally deserved win.

Our destiny is completely in the hands of the Ukrainians now, they have to win.

Roberto Di Matteo just got sacked Goddammit abramovich!!! we will never get our managerial stability, will we?!

lmao 10 managers in 10 years now?

Wow, I actually can't believe this. When I saw the title on WAGNH "Roberto di Matteo Sacked." I actually thought it was a joke for a split second before I checked Chelsea's website.

All the best di Matteo. You're a legend. 19th May will never be forgotten, and I thank you for everything you've done whilst here at Chelsea.

Abramovich.. who have we got lined up? Surely the board must have a manager in mind for them to be so trigger happy with RdM.

[Fleka]

Benitez is next.

Benitez is next.

I have a feeling he'll be the new manager. I hope he's not.

Obviously Guardiola would be the ideal appointment given the players we've signed and the style of football we're trying to play. I highly doubt we'll get him though.

[dR3]

Ridiculous, can't believe it...

[SajN]

Wow, firing a manager just because some results lately has been bad? Fucking pathetic.

[Trimss]

Thanks for your hospitality Lello, I was definitely shitting myself on every counter attack today and you guys were unlucky to not score when Buffon saved it with his inner thigh and mostly unlucky for the second deflected goal (at least the first one, Quagliarella pivoted his body towards the net and improvised perfectly).

Absolutely disgraceful Adriano, that made me so angry. Like...of course that IS legal but fuck...it shows no sportsmanship and how often do you ever see that happen? Astonishingly abysmal attitude and I wish he'd get a ban but sadly he didn't do anything wrong. I just hope players don't end up doing that.

For some reason this was funny.

[Innovation]

It's a long shot, but we might be seeing Drogba back in Chelsea blue.

[MikeNUFC]

Hardly a surprise, he only got the job because Robben & Messi missed two penalties. Wasn't a great manager.

[SajN]

Probably, but still... it's still a bit ridiculous to do this just because of few matches, and that they may not go further in CL.

Most managers in Chelsea since 2003 have been sacked every 7-8 months, exception being Mourinho.

[SajN]

Agree with the second paragraph.


Lots of people saying Pep might go to Chelsea. I really hope not he will be the next manager. It's gonna hurt, tbh.

[SajN]

Well, it's either Man City, Chelsea or maybe Inter or Milan.

Where would you rather see him?

Any of those except Chelsea, lol.

Preferably one of the Italian teams.

Benitez is going to be our manager. Let's hope he's only going to be here until we can talk with Pep. Other than Mourinho, Pep is pretty much the only manager I want to see take up the role next year.
