I've no idea what you are talking about.

Now that would depend on who Grandad was responding to. I read it as Grandad preferring Premiership Quality rather than Premiership Experience. You've read the opposite. Easy mistake that one of us has made.... not sure how that makes me a fool though. Nice of you to point it out though.

Someone like Benfica? For say about £25m?? With no Premiership experience??? I must be making this up or did they really sign David Luiz.

Grandad gets it. Shame Austria's finest and TCM can't quite grasp it.

Ahhhh nice, group hug

Thank you for your kind observation. You've also made it clear that the likes of Hazard and Oscar are thriving at Chelsea because they are surrounded by those with Premiership experience, even if the majority of those surrounding them did not have previous premiership experience. I was errant with my thoughts that it was because they were quality players and would improve any team they played in. Thank god Cahill was playing otherwise what buffoons Chelsea would be looking right now. Please carry on casting your expert eye on my posts, I'm learning so much here.

Cech and Terry didn't have previous Premiership experience. Lampard is a bit part player now in Chelsea's best team for quite a few seasons. But apart from that I take your point.

Daniel Fox and Kelvin Davis have previous premiership experience.

Loving this aggressive style Alpine. (Trying to keep this on track) From your stained chair in Austria, do you honestly believe Ramirez is sh*t? Do you not think the money spent on Nathaniel Clyne is money very well spent? Neither have previous Premiership experience, neither would look out of place in all bar the top 4 sides.

As much I'm naturally geared to PMA and as much as I'd love to agree with you I believe we need a minor miracle to stay up. We're just back from an international break where all our defence (bar Fox) would have been in training, plenty of time to sharpen things up and tighten it up at the back and yet we gifted West Ham 3 goals.

That's it, I've requested refractions for you. Insubordination such as this should not be tolerated. Kick it out!

Please stop ganging up on Alpine. Yes his point is flawed but don't expect him to stick to the original point and accept he was wrong.

So. my. point. is. clear.. Premiership. experience. does. not. equal. success.. Quality. equals. success..

And their best performance...

Oh please stop abusing me, nasty man. I laugh at your counter argument though. Chelsea's line up in their mauling of Spurs: Cech (no prem experience), ivanovich (no prem experience), cahil, luiz (no prem experience), cole, ramires (no prem experience),mata (no prem experience),oscar (no prem experience), mikel (no prem experience), hazard (no prem experience), torres (no prem experience before being a success at liverpool).

What's a desert spoon? Is it used for collecting and dispensing sand??

Yeah because the secret to any teams success is to sign Premiership players. Chelsea have been cr*p since signing all those non-premiership players. Who should we burn??

You can select any system you like, none will cope with the clown like defending we've shown at times.

Maybe you should ask the Mods to change the forum rules so that the respect you think you are due is paid in full. Or maybe you are getting what you deserve - not my call.

Ask Nixon or maybe our in-house "investigative" journo Peach could shed some light on it

haha this thread is hilarious - all the "I told you so's" coming out when the ship is sinking. Alpines "concerns" are a recurring, default position taken during each off season. Finally, he might be right

We were in for a top defender. The deal was bigger than the Ramirez one. The defender was ready to join us. His current employer bottled it at the last minute.

No doubt Nigel needs to learn quick and up his game, same can be said for some of our "supporters".

Just cos you've gone all mainstream with your much lauded (by main boarders I should point out) 50 Sheds review doesn't mean you can lord it over the "keepin' it real" Toe Key Oh on his superior Muppet thread. A jealous Bear, is an ugly Bear.
