What is wrong with Drogba?

What is wrong with Drogba?

A couple of weeks ago he made some very unprofessional statements saying that he wanted to leave Chelsea, that the club was broken and that something was wrong, and now i read that he said that he "felt disgusted when he joined Chelsea".

Even though Drogba was a diver i had respect for him, I thought/think he is a good footballer who has played some amazing games, but I've lost respect for him.

What is he trying to do? He already made it clear that he wants to leave Chelsea at the end of the season, so why come out with that statement?

Drogba in my opinion has shown how unprofessional he is and disrespect to the fans.

He owes it to the fans that pay to go the games, to the fans around the world that get up at whatever time to watch the games, he owes them some hope.

Drogba,

learn from David Beckham and shut your mouth, just shut up be a professional and play they best you can play. Make the best out of your last days at Chelsea.

Juande Ramos; good or bad for Tottenham?

I've been listening to 606 and a lot of Tottenham fans don't seem to be to happy with Juande Ramos being chosen as Martin Jol's replacement.

My question is this is he a good choice for Tottenham?

I think he is a great choice for Tottenham.

A lot of Spurs fans are disappointed that Jurgen Klinsman was not chosen as manager, but i think Junade Ramos is a better manager than Klinsman.

I'm not taking anything away from Klinsman, he is a good manager, but you can also argue that he didn't have to qualify Germany for The 2006 World Cup and that squad was just filled with talent, but Klinsman is not proven at club level and managing a club team and a national team is not the same its much harder to manage a club team, it takes more time and effort.

Juande Ramos is the type of manager that motivates players, he gets the best out of them, he can mold young talent, he is the type of manager that players respect, i know this because he did it with my spanish team Sevilla.

Give him two weeks in charge of Spurs and you will see a difference, don't expect them to win the title or finish 5th but do expect an improvement.

So in my opinion Ramos is a great choice for Tottenham and i am still devastated that he has left Sevilla.

So c'mon Spurs fans, give him a chance he is quality.

___________________________________

Everton vs Liverpool- The good old Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Liverpool will be lucky to get a draw, both teams have injuries and its a derby, Torres, Kuyt, Alonso, and Aurelio are very doubtful for Liverpool and Everton have Johnson, Gravesen and Cahill are also doubtful for saturday's game, both teams have good goalkeepers so I'm going with a 1-1 draw.

Blackburn Rovers vs Reading-at Ewood Park. It breaks my heart, but Reading will lose, they don't have it this season and it breaks my heart. Santa Cruz is injured for Blackburn but they will be fine there is a lot of talent on that team I'm going with a 3-1 win for Blackburn.

Arsenal vs Bolton Wanders- at Emirate Stadium. zzzzzzzzzz we all know Arsenal will dominate this game, they will probably play their B team because a lot of players are coming back from international duty, Bolton have a new manager, its at home for Arsenal (still at home! they finally leave London next week) this game is an easy 3 points for Arsenal. 3-0 to the Arsenal!

Fulham vs Derby County- at Craven Cottage, There is talent on the Fulham squad and they have to stop with the draws! Derby is probably the worst team to ever play in the premiership, I hope to see Feilhaber play and i hope for a couple of Dempsey goals, 3-1 to Fulham.

Middlesbrough vs Chelsea- at The Riverside Stadium. Chelsea have a couple of injuries, Essien, Cole, Terry and Ballack but they have a deep squad, Middlesbrough, you know i like Gareth Southgate, he seems like a nice guy but i don't think he has the experience to manage a Premiership club, he should go to another club and learn from a bigger manager and then come back. Middlesbrough should take advantage of the fact that Chelsea have a couple of players coming back from international duty, they can get a draw if they want to, but this game will be a bore with a 1-0 win for Chelsea.

Manchester City vs Birmingham City- at The City of Manchester Stadium. The ONLY team in Manchester (lol) are playing fantastic football, a couple of their players are coming back from international duty but it wont matter they will win this game. a 3-1 win to the ONLY team in Manchester.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United- at Villa Park. This seems like a good game Villa are a good team when they are up for it, Man U have a lot of players coming back from international duty and they are the team with the most injuries, i can see this going either way. 2-1 to Villa or 1-1 draw.

West Ham United vs Sunderland- at Upton Park. I thought that Sunderland would be doing better than they are, i still think Roy Keane is a good manager, give him some money and you will see some improvement, West Ham have a crazy squad with some talent on there so i do expect them to score. 2-2 draw.

Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur- at St. James' Park. I am so excited about this game! Paul Robinson is injured so this is great news for Spurs (i am not being sarcastic), Newcaslte have talent on that team but they don't seem to get their act together, Tottenham have a shitload of good players and before this season what i considered to be a pretty good manager, i cannot explain whats going on at Tottenham. 2-2 draw or 3-2 win for Tottenham

_____________________________________________You know I'm kinda starting to feel bad for Chelsea, i felt that they were just getting over Jose Mourinho leaving and then shit starts again, this team is slowly falling apart and with rumors that Jose wants to and might take over the England NT job what will players like Drogba, Lampard, A.Cole, and Essien do now that they can't go were Jose is going? by the way i do think Jose would be a great manager for England, but more on that later.

There have been reports allover the place that Drogba told a French Magazine that he wants to leave Chelsea... If this is true I've lost a lot of respect for Drogba.

If he wants to leave Chelsea, fine then leave, but he should shut up and tell the people at Chelsea, not go out there to the press and let everyone know that, there are severe problems at Chelsea here is what he said:

"I want to leave Chelsea, nothing can stop me from leaving now. Something is broken with Chelsea, the damage in the dressing room is big because we know now what happened and who caused Mourinho's departure,I've been so angry with what happened to Mourinho that I truly thought of leaving in this winter market, but I will do everything to defend my shirt loyally until the end of the season."

--Loyally? you are saying that you want to leave! and you are bashing people at the club secretly!

--I hate when players do things like this, i understand if they want a new challenge but the way he has come out and said this shows lack of professionalism, Drogba your shirt says Chelsea Football Club, not Jose Mourinho Football Club, you signed a contract for Chelsea and if you are unhappy there you shut your mouth and wait until you can leave.

--In an article with the Daily Mail he says he will win the title before leaving... give me a break.

--And of course Chelsea have already downplayed this. If he wants to go let him go why have a player who doesn't want to be there and will not play with his heart?

-John Terry and Ashley Cole have suffered injuries while on England duty.

Oh oh more trouble for Chelsea! they always struggle when Terry is out, this can be proven by what happened to them last season.

Terry will undergo knee surgery and will be out for 3 weeks.

Cole will be out for at least a month with ankle ligament damage, but i think it will be more.

I'm loving what's going on in Scottish football lately, I've always had a soft spot for Scottish football but its harder to watch it herein the US, i think the reason i like Scottish football is because the fans have so much passion, not that fans of other leagues don't, its just that there is something about the passion in Scottish fans.
Celtic beating AC Milan is in my opinion a fantastic win for them of course it came with its controversy with that crazy fan attacking Dida and it got worse with Dida being extremely unprofessional about it and giving an oscar worthy performance for which he should get banned for being a cheater.But its still a fantastic win for them, winning against the Champions League winners! (even though Liverpool were the better team on that night and AC Milan were kicked out for cheating...but i wont get into that today) Some people are saying that Celtic will be kicked out of the Champions League, I Don't think so, they will probably just have to play a couple of games closed doors.


I myself have always had more of a soft spot for Rangers,so when they beat Lyon 3-0 i could not have been more happy, they dominated that game and are proving that they might have what it takes to get out of difficult group. I can see them getting a draw against Barcelona
The Scottish national team is in Group B for Euro 2008 with, France, Italy, Ukraine,Lithuania, Georgia, and the Faroe Island, tough group the world champions, and the runners up and a team that was in the world cup, who would have though that Scotland would be first in that group, they have W-7, D-0 and L-2 and they are at 21 points, the group is still very tight, Italy are at 20 points and France are at20 points so France, Scotland and Italy will have to fight it out.

Will they go through? i don't know its just soo tight but the players must have confidence going in and that always helps, they don't have any world class players but they have the heart. Scottland for the cup!

I can see Scotland winning against Ukraine.Scotland for the cup!!! i refuse to support England in this Euro campaign so I've adopted Scotland.If Scotland qualify for Euro 2008 I will try my best to go to Euro 2008.

So my question is this, Why has Scottish football been somewhat ignored for about the last 10 years? Is it because the National team has not had success?Is it because the usually there is only 2 teams competing for the title? I think so its somewhat boring to watch a league were you know who's going to win and also they have the Premiership right next door and world class players tend to go more to the Prem?In case you didn't know Rangers is the team with the most Trophies ever, throughout their history they have one more trophies than any other team in the world...

I was talking to my friend and he asked me if Celtic and Rangers should be let into the Premiership, I'm curious to see what people think of this because i don't think they should, not because i don't think they are good enough but because the SPL would collapse.
