How many times have they went on for weeks before a game about what they were going to do to us and then been humped? Assuming we're still trading of course?

Cade Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Last time we played them in the Big Cup, it was during a transfer window and they sold their best players just before the game.

redm Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Very good point. I was excited to hear that we'd drawn them but the fact that winning would be euphoric while losing would be soul destroying means that there's no room for misplaced bravado. There's no middle ground here. It's a big game and while I'd like to think that we'd be okay on current form, there's absolutely no guarantees of what will happen in the run up to Christmas...or even what could happen on the day. A hibby friend of mine is feeling better about this fixture because we're being cocky about it. I'd probably feel the same if it was the other way around...so I'm going for the quietly optimistic approach. It worked a treat on Saturday.

January 10th - keep it tidy until we have won. best way to shut up this over confidence is to organise a "read-in" at the Signet Library on George IV Bridge. That will provide us with a better perspective on how supporters should behave and everyone passing the set test, will be provided with a tight little zipper to fit on their gobs. FFS given the history of Hearts, often the only time to be big and confident is before the event. don't worry, how you behave has ZERO statistical impact on Hearts performance on the park. so you should enjoy yourself and not become some respectful super polite and superstitious jerk.

Therapist Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 What are your thoughts on the growing suspicion that Chelsea have run out of money It's utter nonsense. We are "suffering" in second place with a massively superior goal difference to everyone else. All championship contenders have a sticky spell during the season; ours is happening at the moment. On Sunday we suffered from an outrageous refereeing decision and, at least as importantly, the unavailability of some absolutely key players; Joe Cole, Didier Drogba, Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Essien. I can assure you that by the end of the season blue will indeed be the colour - in the EPL and Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo27_22 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I would love to win both games but if we are still on some sort of league run then I could live with losing in the cup if we hump them silly the week before. A win in the cup at their own ground would prove nothing - we still have won more games in derbies at their ground after all. That said, if we win the week before then maybe they will not have had time to recover. Would make for a fantastic season if we were to end their interest by the 2nd week in Jan!!

I still think blue will probably be the colour in the EPL; I don't and never have done in the Champions League. My mounting sense, though, is of a club about to head onto the slippery slope - which has the capacity to extract one last title from hardened professionals, but is going to be back where it was under Ranieri before long.

I was reading an article on the 1985/6 season the other day: Chelsea's league form collapsed following your famous 5-4 win over Man City in the Full Members Cup Final. Do you think the FMC might've cost Chelsea the title that year? My first memories of CFC were of the Dixon/Nevin team - but that seems to have been its best campaign.

I didn't know that, I must admit. And Webb scored with his ear, of course: I thought he was treated rather strangely by Ken Bates 23 years later, but that's another story. It's strange: that side was feted in a way the 1955 Champions never were - though it was good to see Mourinho give them their due when Chelsea were about to end the long wait for a title in 2005.

I didn't think Scolari's rant was really about the ref at all; I think he's frustrated, and feels misled when he took the job. shaun - i think its time to get a grip, mate. Looking at Chelsea's current squad - if a manager can **** things up with the likes of Terry, Lampard, Malouda, Anelka, Drogba, Ballack, Deco, Essien and on and on and on........... he should throw in the towel right away. If Chelsea don't have the raw material to win trophies, nobody else in Europe has. Chelsea's problem is that they have stood still and other teams have worked out how to play and win against them. As much as I like the "french" contingent, Malouda, Anelka, Essien - it gives me great pleasure to watch the rest of them suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
