    Oh dear, just seen all the "Rafa Out" signs being held up.

    They'll soon change their minds if they win. Not that I hope they do.

    "F*** off Benitez, you're not wanted here,"

    An odd mixture of the vulgar insult and the polite insult

    It's a bit of a weird one. If Powell was unreasonably sacked after bringing us success my gripe would be with the man that did the sacking, not the caretaker who came in afterwards

    That's what happens when the majority of your support is from Surrey

    Hilarious, the Chelsea fans haven't got the guts to have a go at the real villain of the piece - Abrahmovich - and so have a go at the hired help.

    I think that's called having your cake and eating it.

    I think they hate him because of all the derogatory things he said about Chelsea whilst Liverpool manager, not just because he replaced di matteo
  • But he was mean about them when he was another club! How could he?!

    You've got the residue of sympathy for Di Matteo, plus Benitez has previous with them. It's a bit like if CAFC had outed Curbishley in 2000 and appointed Joe Royle instead. Or dumped SCP last year and got Megson in.

    Nice to see Mr Geoff "Suttle" Shreeves was back on top form after the game speaking to Benitez.

  • Don't get the whole Pep thing. He's available now, so why would he lurk about in the background waiting for Rafa to wreak havoc with the club.

    He's obviously only there until Roman gets his UEFA pro licence.

    Or buys it (allegedly)

    Chelsea are just Millwall with a bit of dough anyway. Scummy club.

    Interesting article by our fellow CAFC supporter in yesterdays Mail. He suggests that Guardiola is far too serious and intelligent to take part in Abromovich's shenanigans, 7 managers in 7 years. Roman shows that having a gross amount of money pushes you to behave crazily at times, with Mourinho there still, things would have been very different.
  • Any idea what they were chanting when Balotelli came on?

    Another cracking result for Benitez and Chelsea tonight. Would they have only got two points under their previous management?...

    He's really got Torres firing on all cylinders now.

    Chelsea's, sorry, Roman's insistence on playing Torres is what will cost them any chance of silverware this year!

    Heard that if Chelsea lose tonight he'll be gone by the weekend. Well a very poor first half by all accounts. Not sure why this is not on TV tonight? Maybe only so many ties from each round can be broadcast....

    He's just lost it BIG TIME live on 5Live. Slagged off the fans, the club and indirectly Roman.
    Don't expect him to be in charge at the weekend.
