Sven Goran-Eriksson reveals he told Roman Abramovich to buy Chelsea over Spurs if he wanted trophy success:
Sven Goran Eriksson urged Roman Abramovich to snub Tottenham and buy Chelsea if he wanted a fast track to Premier League success
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2487622/Sven-Goran-Eriksson-advised-Roman-Abramovich-buy-Chelsea-Spurs.html

'In 2003 Roman wanted to buy a club in Russia. I went with him to Moscow to see the facilities at two or three other clubs.'

'But then he changed his mind and said he wanted to buy a club in London. He was thinking Chelsea or Tottenham.'

'He phoned me and said, "Who shall I buy?"'

'I said if you want to win the league then Chelsea - because you only have to change half the team.'

'At that time with Tottenham maybe you would have had to change the whole team.'

And now Shitty are 1-0 down to hopeless Sunderland. Fully expect them to win in the end however, mind. Though will still be hoping for a miracle just the same The Blue Box - Page 38 Fingerscrossed

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL rofl

And it does end 1-0 to Sunderland Laughing

And now Arsenal lose as well. This day couldn't possibly have gone any better in light of yesterday's fiasco.

by Shed Sun 10 Nov 2013, 19:23

So in a weird twist, we've actually gained a point on Spurs and City, and shortened the gap between us and the top from 5 points to 4...

Even still, with so many rivals dropping points today, it just makes our failure to secure 3 ourselves yesterday all the more frustrating.

What started out as a horrible weekend turned into a decent one.

We gotta start winning games though.

by Shed Mon 11 Nov 2013, 02:42

Just think, if we'd beaten Newcastle and West Brom, we'd be top of the League right now :facepalm:

by Kick Mon 11 Nov 2013, 02:45

I know. There is still time though, we've gotta start winning those types of games.

Once we've done that, beat Arsenal and Liverpool and we'll be smooth sailing. *Dreaming*

by Shed Mon 11 Nov 2013, 02:51

West Ham away next. Southampton after. Certainly doesn't get any easier...

by Kick Mon 11 Nov 2013, 02:58

And we'll feel a whole lot better if we get the points in both matches.

Right. This is why I don't like rating "big" games like the one against Man City any higher than our other games. We beat City, but then lost points to Newcastle and West Brom. Ultimately, beating City is worth the same as beating Crystal Palace. Every game is an "acid test." Sometimes beating big teams is easier than beating lower sides.

by Kick Mon 11 Nov 2013, 03:17

Mostly because the smaller teams often park the bus against us and unlike last year, we're not playing Mata who was, by all accounts, excellent at breaking down the parked bus.

I can't believe I managed to stay away from football for so long. I had no clue we were fighting in the Europa League.

Forced myself not to follow football. It was a reactionary thing to something that happened to me.

That's why knee-jerk reactions are bad.

Well it's good to have you back, mate.

Planning on hanging around?

Yes. I usually don't get to watch the games live. I do get to watch the full matches later though. I hope ya'll know how to do that...That said, I'm off to watch the West Brom match.
