Would be damn helpful in explaining our recent.. wait for it. Crisis. Yes it is a crisis. I said I would not use that word until we dropped to second. Well we are now in third and I am incandescently dissatisfied.

We literally went from the most powerful team in the country and possibly Europe to a team that is danger of languishing mid table if 9 points out 9 are not collected in three crucially decisive matches.

I refuse to blame injuries for the fact that Birmingham City and Everton were able to score goals that could have been avoided by elementary defending. Something much larger is at play here. Someone has hit the self-destruct button.

We were all sitting here praising the decisions to let Ballack, Deco and Belletti go. I for one think that Ballack would have been a welcome addition to a midfield that lacks the testicular fortitude to command a game. Deco's creativity would have also helped.

Chelsea's 2nd half against Everton was pathetic. I have never seen a Chelsea side in recent years have no motivation to open up the match and win it. Everton were pushing us to the edge for Christ sakes looking for the win. Yes, we saw dour dour, and three times dour matches during the Mourinho-era, but guess what - we won those matches.

This decline did not begin at Liverpool. I personally thought the way we accepted and almost played for away draws at places like Villa was a sign of a team in its last throes. Pardon my departure from the eloquence of the English language but F*** the opinion of anyone who thinks we do not need to dig deep into Roman's pockets. He has to buy and buy soon or he is sabotaging Ancelotti's regime.

Manchester United have not lost a match this season. If they do not concede against Valencia, they will be the first time in the history of the Champion's League to go through the group stages without conceding a goal. They have chased down every single match to earn a result, even if they have thrown away matches.

You tell me - who is playing with the attitude of champions? United & Arsenal or Chelsea? Even with our injuries our squad is stronger than Arsenals. But make no mistake, this is the weakest Abramovich-era Chelsea side ever assembled. Arnesen resigned because this season was suppose to be his hay day. His youth academy was suppose to take the reigns and serve as sufficient replacements for the big names.

Do not even ask me what politricks went down for Ray Wilkins to get fired and Michael Emanelo, who was coaching kids at a youth soccer camp in Arizona before that imposter/crony Avram Grant picked him up, to get his position. Have you seen the man's face on the bench? He doesn't have a clue. Whatever opposition scouting he was doing must've solely related to the name of the team and stadium we were playing.

I await your berating. But you know in your heart of hearts that whatever optimism you have is only being carried by the fact that we've pulled ourselves from worse before. But seriously, do you see that happening now?

Good Day fellow fans,
