Let's be honest here - Chelsea's brand of football is just boring. Thet have talented players, but they're not allowed to play the game properly. I think the objective of Mourinho and now Grant is to destroy English football by showing how profitable boring and arrogant can be. They certainly have no allegiance to the English game. They already ruined SWP, a brilliant player when he started, Ashley Cole likewise.
Time to move on, Chelsea. Your players deserve much better.

I think the attitude was summed up for me before a ball was even kicked. Watching the interview given by John Obi Mikel ahead of the game the interviewer asked him about Steve Bruce's belief that they could get 3 points or even something from the game. He came across as completely arrogant practically laughing at the thought. His sheer arrogance made my blood boil - as if come on this is Chelsea, look at our home record blah blah blah. Then I saw the Chelsea team sheet and blinked in surprise. Drogba wasn't starting nor even on the subs bench and even more surprising there was no defender on the subs' bench either. It doesn't matter who you are playing you just cannot legislate for what might happen. It was clear to me there was a general belief they only had to turn up to roll Wigan over.

As a Manchester Utd fan I was delighted with the result. We've also learned that you never ever take the opposition for granted no matter where they are in the table.

Gen, London,

goalkeeper rolls ball to fullback. five passes within own half ends with ball back to goalkeeper. Goalkeeper kicks ball upfield, Why not kick it upfield to begin with ? At least its in the opponents half where believe it or not is where you have a chance of scoring goals which actualy win games !!!

Subs bench last night Hilario,Joe Cole,Pizzaro,SWP and Sheva. Good job we had no defensive injuries or sendings off. Essien was only option. May explain why Grant did not bring on another defender when Wigan put a third central forward on! The reason we conceded an equaliser. Act of a genius or a mad man. QED. Bye Bye Mr Grant. Don't be fooled Avram the boos were for your ineptitude. Please take your seat upstairs in Roman's luxury box and study for your pro-licence. Leave the bench to a proper manager. p.s. Take Ten Kate with you. Another pretender who is upsetting the applecart.

Typical of fans who come on board to support a winning team, when the winning stops they blame their own team and /or manager. Booing your own team off the park is an absolute disgrace and demonstrates that these fans were never there through the years of Ken Bates. I've still got my second division programmes from the '74/'75 season and also from the Nou Camp in '99, proud of my team through thick and thin and it is the fans who keep the likes of Man Utd up where they belong. Perhaps Abramovich will now realise you cannot buy success in English football, it is earnt over many, many years.

Avram Garant would possibly deserve a little sympathy, but for the fact that he probably helped to undermine Jose Mourinho at the start of the season. And okay, it's not him in the penalty area to prevent a goal being conceded. But i simply cannot believe that he manages to instil belief in the players.

Whining about the Monday/Thursday games doesn't really help either, quite honestly. It's like playing on Saturday and Tuesday, which isn't that unusual.

Am i NOT looking forward to the CL games against Liverpool. They will, almost certainly, end in defeat. Likewise the home game against ManU, when the unbeaten record goes for a burton. Thanks, Avram, it's been really real.

The title race is closer than it looks: let's suppose Chelsea beat Everton and United lose to Blackburn. Both very possible results. If Chelsea then beat United at Stamford Bridge they would have a point lead and could/would easily win the title from there. Second, Chelsea might actually win the European Cup. What will all those ungrateful Chelsea fans say about Avram then?

Tim, London,

I fully expect Avram to be promoted to "Director of Football" in the summer. Who are chelsea going to get as their next manager? Hiddink wont leave Russia, Riijkard has shown he cant handle big players/pressure and Ancelotti is pathetic in the league. He also doesnt realise its time to sell a player if he gets a birthday card from the queen. Joe Cole is not a winger he should be played in a midfield 3 alongside either Lampard or Ballack. They cant play together because they are too similair, neither has real pace, tricks or can beat a man. Drogba will almost certainly follow Mourinho to Milan so they have to overhaul their squad. They need a right back (Alves) 2 outstanding wingers (Quaresma,Messi) and a centre back with real pace to partner Terry (Ramos). Chelsea have a problem of choking in big european games because in 3 semis they lost. They will lose to Liverpoool because since last year they signed Torres and Babel while chelsea have lost a superb manager and leak too many goals

To Dave in Oxford: Chelsea spent a few hundred million pounds so far. If they spend a few hundred million more they might become champions again.

Chelsea are copying what Utd are doing. They bought Essien and Ballack, although Utd were first and nicked Utd's chief executive. They can keep all 3 of them. They will not be enough. They need someone like Ferguson to win them championships.

I think the truth is, Chelsea have a big squad, but not that many really good players. I think Malouda and Pizarro (to name but two) could play for weeks on end and never score a goal between them and I'm not totally convinced about Kalou either. Chelsea have the numbers, but not the quality in depth. They have bought some very mediocre players for very big money
