I've just bought last season's Adidas white Accy away shirt for a quid from a charity shop. It's in very good condition. The only problem is it's a small child size. Ah well,all i need now is to find a small child i can give it to.

It's hard to know what a manager has to do to satisfy Abramovich. Maybe he should appoint himself as manager next?

We're not doing too shabbily though since RA came on board - 15 major trophies is not a bad haul.

Not disputing that in the slightest, but 10 managers in 15 years is mental.

It may well be but it's the way of the world though - take a look at Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern, Athletico, Dortmund, PSG, Juventus and even Spurs over a similar period.

Arsenal and Man Utd are much lower due to the obvious reasons but even Man Utd have started to get in on the act since Fergie left.

Since RA purchased Chelsea no English team has won as many major honours (15 us and 13 Man Utd - I totted this up in my head so I hope it's correct! ).

Even Phil McNulty has acknowledged today on the Beeb sport website that RA has disproved the theory that only stability brings success.

As I've stated before, it would never work, he'd be unable to sack himself....

Don't disagree with any of that.

I suppose the difference is that when the sums of money those clubs command stability isn't particularly necessary. And keeping things fresh does seem to work, though it can go badly wrong if you don't have the finances to back that model.

Funny old game!

Very apt article from the Beeb today:

I'll never call any football match dull again after watching today's TdF stage.

I'll delete this post if anything of worth happens in the last 7.8k.
