Saw it on SSN this morning. Totally over-rated and no different if Mourinho had still been there.
The fact is while Jose was the coach I played most of the games and people who know me know that I would not have come here to be a reserve.
LMAO, and remind us again, who was injured during this time? :roll:

Funny as well how he's saying this on the day he's been put on the transfer list. Bitter much?

He's made an absolute cock of himself here has old TBH. Bearing in mind that Grant was his coach at international level one might have thought that he'd perhaps have been looked on favourably if anything. I think what he meant was "Had I known that the required level at Chelsea was beyond the limit of my capabilities then I wouldn't have bothered". Mind you, that simply dismisses the cash on offer too, and from what I've read TBH is one almighty cash-grabbing, tight-arse and would have sold his soul to the highest bidder in any case.

That he is!

Though I have heard he actually took out a Cech a couple of weeks back.

And yet many reckoned TBH was going to sign for Portsmouth because Grant was there (prior to him becoming Chelsea manager.) I've no animosity toward Ben Haim. He played out his contract for us (on not much money) and then chose to move on, as he's perfectly entitled to do.

If we survive, I'd take him back in place of Meite, who is sure to go. If he agreed to take a slash in pay; because I personaly don't think he could get infront of O'Brien or Cahill. Seeing as he'd be taking a cut in pay to sit on another bench, I highly doubt he'd come.

Nor have I, except for when he foolishly thinks that he can insult our intelligence.

Agree with that, he's no better than either of them.

With you on this one Warty. think he conducted himself fine with us. Don't blame him for wanting to try and play at a "higher level".

Aye agreed, especially when he was on the peanuts we paid him. I personally thought, bar not wanting to get cup-tied (if it was him) he was a model pro from saying he was leaving until going.

Probably the only premiership footballer to drive one of these I'd guess

So may as well go somewhere for the cash

Thing that did for me about TBH was that at first he looked good and promising, then his game changed, he got dirtier and crapper but actually believed he was better than he was, oh and the fact a lot of our fans thought he was soooo talented we should of lined up to kiss his ass!
