I don't care if you like Lampard or not, but why you call him fat is beyond me.

I'd have to agree. Absolutely fantastic.

> Hitzfeld/German national team He suggested himself various times for that job as a 'logical consequence'. That's why everyone was quite surprised that he declined the offer, when Völler stepped down. He still draws his salary - actually more money than the current Bayern coach Magath earns - so, why should he be bothered to work.

I want the football team to win - and not the ball artists.

I've always liked him. Whilst I don't support cheating, his behaviour on the field can also be seen as cleverness or gamemanship at times. The Dutch people (and many players) are lovable anyway.

Hitzfeld doesn't know what he wants. He enjoys coquetting with some job offers now and then - but he finally prefers to give his (former) colleagues good advice. I'm fed up with his condescending comments.

It makes no sense to discuss that. You don't like him, he is Chelsea's CEO and so he must be a fool, right? I read - and heard - some interviews with Bayern's general manager Hoeneß the other day. Strangely enough, he was full of praise. And he is not the only one who rates Kenyon highly. Impartiality is based on objective criteria. I don't know why I am so obsessed with it.

Nonsense. Kenyon is a proven expert - whether you like him or not. He should only stick to his trade.

0 - 3 against Middlesbrough, I certainly did not expect that. Even if I'm not that surprised at the defeat itself. Three goals are a bit much, though. However what really worries me is the lack of will at times. And you can't win matches just because you are the defending champions and physically present. Then again, these games and results belong to (professional) football. The laugh is always on the loser - and if the loser is Chelsea, the league is highly amused. Today the gloating is justified.

Whilst I do appreciate Peter Kenyon, it's sort of laughable to talk about certain things via media - and this is not the first time that I'm irritated at some of his comments. An image campaign can only be successful if it happens without being announced (or publicly planned) in advance. Anything else is only a farce and somehow a contradiction in terms. Image is largely based upon sincerity.

Terribly sad. The youngest fan would be only 39 today - the oldest person only 65. May they rest in peace.
