Do you think Ryan Giggs would have stayed at Man u if they'd been relegated to League 1? Gerrard at Liverpool etc. Loyalty is easy in the top flight when they are printing money for you. A few years back Brian Tinnion was second in the `current players` list of appearances for the same club to Ryan Giggs which sort of proves your point.

And he supported Man united, once. Nonsense So you are suggesting that his loyalty was purely down to Chelsea constantly offering him the highest wages and ......living locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I wish JT still played for England . Very very good player . A leader of men . Colourful life off the pitch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I actually dont mind the guard of honour etc and they should remember a club legend same as liverpool did with Gerrard and united with Giggs but taking him off on 26 mins was pretty embarrassing.

yardy Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Great player, great captain but bit of a a***. I can imagine getting took of on 26mins was his doing, its the kind of thing the arrogant so and so would do. His mum must be very proud, lets hope she can keep her knickers on tonight...

If you were playing your last game for the club you've played for for years, you'd want to play at least the first half. He said in his post game interview that the manager wasn't going to play him but he wanted to play so they came to a compromise that he'd play but be subbed on 26 mins - his squad number...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Would it not have been a bit more classy though to bring him on for ten minutes at the end and all this could have been done on the final whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, maybe. But class isn't something that Chelsea are particularly rich in. In fact, I heard John Terry described as their "spiritual leader" which seems about right.

Disagree, they treat the Chelsea Pensioners with huge respect, looking after them and ensuring they get free entry to Stamford Bridge. In case anyone is unaware, Chelsea Pensioners is the term for ex British Army members who reside at the Royal Hospital nursing home in Chelsea. They get free entry to Chelsea games when they are able to attend, they were asked to form a guard of honour when Chelsea won the league in 2005 and Chelsea had red on their kit in the 2010-2011 season as a nod to the trademark scarlet coats worn by the Chelsea Pensioners. To me, all that is class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, all that is class... I agree that is a class touch, and the first I heard of it. It's good to hear of professional football clubs serving their communities, it should be a given. The false-idolism and self-worship generally experienced with pro-footballers and their clubs isn't classy, though. Not just Chelsea, we're guilty too.

I think we`re pretty good as a club. Those involved with CHSW for instance speak very highly of our support and the players when they visit don`t seem to be doing it because they have to. I`m sure other clubs do equally well, it understandably doesn`t get publicised outside of their local area which is fair enough.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
