@ bluedrog, can't hack that i spit the truth? The fact that you got battered all over the place by bayern and barcelona but they couldn't finish proved it was a fluke. Atletico madrid finished there chances after once again getting battered but this time the score reflected you're team and performance unlike the champions league. Di matteo is not a good manager, he just has a lot of luck on his side and is part of the chelsea boys, nothing flawed about my argument, it's just the truth

Don

What about the wins he masterminded over Tottenham and Liverpool - The 5-1 and 2-1 in the Cup final. What was that? Luck? Or good management? If you're gna use one game to call RDM a crap manager, then I'm gna do the same with AVB and call him a crap manager for that shambles of a performance against Arsenal when we lost 5-3 at home.

Don seriously mate, what more could you have wanted RDM to do as Chelsea manager who came in 2/3'rds of the way through the season when we were losing left right and centre, on the way out from the CL & FA Cup? What more could have he done apart from steady the ship and go for the cups. We knew our players werent very good for the league but we gave it a go in the cups which we did and we had to beat two of the best sides in Europe to win the CL. So what more could have RDM done when he came into the job back in March? Did you expect him to magically start making Chelsea into a freeflowing Barcelona type team whilst winning every single match? Imo RDM did the maximum he could have done at the back end of last season. He couldnt have done much more.

In those games we paid the ref.

Mr chelsea, i am not saying he did a bad job mate. Of course you have to give him credit for what he achieved. But the fact remains that he did half a job with the champions league, he didn't win the whole thing by himself because he took over when you were right end of the group stages. All i am saying is that as great of an achievement as you're champions league win was, it was a bloody fluke mate and i don't think it will ever be won like that again. Fair play to you but De matteo has a lot of luck on his side for this and you're performances proved it. I am just pointing out that the champions league win is a false perception of Di matteo because i don't actually think he's that good of a manager. I just think you tried playing that way against Atletico madrid and finally the opposition knew where the new was and you got battered.

Knew where the net was *

Don we got bloody hammered against by A Madrid Not gna even defend that performance mate. Yeh Rdm did have luck. I'm not gna sit here and say it all went to plan but all the bad or questionable luck we've had in the CL over the years was on our side in 2012. Everything just went our way. Missed penalties, shots off target,

Don't forget we had to go to Barcelona and we scored 2 goals there! Then we had a man sent off!

Also we had to go to Bayern's home and beat them there. We had to take penalties at Bayerns end and we lost the coin toss for who takes pens first. We had it all to do aswell mate. Wouldn't swap it for the world. You will only see my point of view if you win it

==================
Well thank god he did a magnificent "half a job" because if it had been left to that waste of food AVB we'd have been out after the Napoli 2nd leg.

Let's just see if you're all blowing smoke up his R's come January

Waste of food


AVB

Mr chelsea Like i say, i certainly wouldn't be complaining if my club won something like that but i'm just giving you my reasoning for giving matteo some stick
