BBC Sport - Chelsea dismiss talk of rift between Villas-Boas and Abramovich

 

He will be gone soon enough now

 

Abramovich: Why did you not start Torres and Meireles?

AVB: I'm the Manager. I pick the team.

Abramovich(into microphone hidden in sleeve): Sniper, acquire target.

[Champ]

Fan fooking tastic. I just love beating them. After so many disappointing results. What a buzz.....

[Iceman]

Abramovich: Why did you not start Torres and Meireles?

AVB: I'm the Manager. I pick the team.

Abramovich(into microphone hidden in sleeve): Sniper, acquire target.

 

Spetsnaz engage.

 

[brucespanner]

Well done Glen you've made Eva upset, you heartless swine!

 

[Barzini]

Bloody hell, that was great.

 

I thought we were going to lose it in the second half, we couldn't get to grips with them after they scored but we dug in and nicked it.

 

Great result for us and I'd like to see Maxi starting more games, his passing with Bellamy and Suarez was fantastic to see, he tired late on but we should be looking to play more like this and less hoofing it aimlessly into the box for Carroll.

Hello.

Abramovich: Why did you not start Torres and Meireles?

AVB: I'm the Manager. I pick the team.

Abramovich(into microphone hidden in sleeve): Sniper, acquire target.

 

Ive always had abramavich down as more of a giant lever to open a trapdoor in the floor kind of guy.

 

[Pliskken]

Carrol treating us all to his Norman wisdom medley, just to rub it into the chelsea scum. Made up with this.

 

Been laughing at this for the last five minutes...

[Faustus]

I would happily shag Glen Johnson up the arse right now.

 

Quit the moaning for one night at least, lads. Kenny got it spot on with his tram selection and subs. One in the eye for those dickheads who think he's dome kind of tactical dinosaur.

[Frankenhooker]

Anybody think that the new 'special one' could get the boot soon ? With Hiddink out of work he's going to be under pressure.

He'll get a bit more time. We were all writing the Arse off a couple of months back.

The difference is the respective boards. Chelsea aren't particularly patient when it comes to managers.

[therevivalist]

Great result, with lady luck smiling on us for a change no doubt. We need to sort out that midfield, Chelsea were sailing through like we're not there. We need a maestro in midfield in January...a creative box to box ideally. It's a no-brainer now the Bellamy-Maxi combo is unplayable.

Yeh I know and AVB will be gone sooner rather than later but probably not just yet. I would take finishing 1 place above the Chavs this season all the same

[Mathewbet1]

We were great in the first half and worthy of at least a 1 goal lead. They stepped it up when mata moved into the centre. It was awful defending for chelseas first goal, malouda was allowed to run without getting tackled. Lets not forget Reina's world class save, as had that gone in we would have probably lost. Johnson had a tough time in the second half and was left exposed time and time again. Nice to see him score at the end with a wonderful goal. Im sure john terrys still crying right now, the cheating racist.

[KopOut]

Wont see the game until wed-thurs, but fantastic result-I don't care how we played we got the badly needed 3 points, which I wasn't expecting.

 

Love to see Johnson at RM with Kelly back.

I think suarez played for the cause today, but if he was on top form that game wouldve been over long before the final whistle. He was very wasteful by his standards today.

[William_Ulsterman]

I took alot of pleasure out of that. Nervous game though and unpleasant to watch for about 20 mins in the second half. Sturridge always seems to make them change up a gear when he comes on.

[zigackly]

Good player magic Johnson, very pleased for one of the most obviously talented fullbacks in the league

 

I bet Code could list ten premier league right backs who could never have scored that goal.

[Red '84]

get in!!

 

we needed that big time, great all round, chelsea were always going have there time on top and we were well worth the three points.

 

same again next week and we will throw this league open!

[king7]

Brilliiant from Kenny to start Maxi today. We've been struggeling to put our chances away, and he's a great finisher.

[xerxes]

A great result

 

Respect to Kenny for getting it right. Playing Maxi and Dirk was a masterstroke.

 

Lucas was back to his very best, Adam looked comfortable.

 

Johnson was a star and highlighted once again where you play him. Right midfield has to be his position.

[BatChainPuller]

Brilliant win, with most credit going to Kenny for the line-up and plan. We faded badly for a while but Henderson and Downing freshened us up well.

 

Fantastic.

 

This.

 

Made up for Kenny - great response to some of the criticism he has been subject to recently. Good to see we had the character to dig out a win after being under the cosh for the previous 30 minutes.

 

Great to see Glen Johnson getting back to the level he should be - we now have two top class attacking full backs (with another three in the wings).

[usernameunknown]

Quality performance that but expected it, think we have a better team and manager than them, would like to see that 11 starting a few games for a while now.

Jesus wept.

 

If he was playing right midfield he'd have been the one tucking in to allow the full back space to run in to.
