There had been loads of news circulating in tabloids, internet & TV programmes on the downfall of the Chelsea empire. The 'Special One' has left Stamford Bridge, and rumors of disputes between the owner & administrators mushroomed at a tremendous rate. Everyone seemed to be talking about Chelsea!
Those whom only give their support to Chelsea within the period of Mourinho's service should be pitied. Poor them.
Chelsea has been playing great football so far. They might not put a fancy and creative play on the field as what Arsenal does, but they've been showed a lot of powerful, enthralling performances. With Lampard's amazing strikes, Drogba's strong built, Joe Cole's agility, Makelele's confidence, Essien's calm composure, I believe that Chelsea have proven to be one of the most exciting team to watch over in the English Premier League!
Recently, there was a problem. Mourinho left. Avram Grant (who's he?!) took over. 1st Game:
Man Utd 2 - 0 Chelsea
Despite the 4-0 win in the Carling Cup action against Hull, Chelsea was hold back 0-0 to Fulham.
Oh yes, there was also this fact that since the manager is a Jew/Israeli, "i'm not going to support Chelsea anymore".
Now, here are my arguments:
- The name in front of the shirt is more important the one at the back. Club's first, individual later. People come people go, mate, but the club will always be there.
- For goodness sake, give Grant a chance! He's just about to practice his authority in the club.
- The club has a great history, great supporters, great players and fantastic play of football.
- To condemn the act of the Israeli government in causing a series of massacre in Palestine is an issue. But to relate Grant to the issue mentioned is unfair. It's not like Arsenal in promoting 'Think Israel' in one of their adverts!
- Managing crises.
- Scouting the right people to be installed at the right position.
- Handling the press.
- Dealing with possible interests from outsiders/agents/managers/coaches etc.
- Struggling to maintain the team's morale & composure in difficult times, and win games at the same time!

assalamualaikum, ha, jumpe pun! :P
I would have to agree on some things here.
avram grant being an israeli, does not necessarily mean that we muslim cannot support chelsea. That is an individual nationality, and we dont know whether he is pro/anti zionism.
however, arsenal as a club, to support israel state is simply an act of pro zionism. hence, i dont think muslim should support arsenal. at least, drop a letter to the management saying you disagree for the club to support such cruel oppression.
And roman abramovich is jewish too.. but let's not get too emotional over this. they dont have option, born to be jewish, just like some people, born into malay, chinese etc.
* The name in front of the shirt is more important the one at the back. Club's first, individual later. People come people go, mate, but the club will always be there...
- to some extend i agree.. but then, to think about it, if ur serious about Islam, u shud stay away, even if its just a tiny little small things yg bersangkut paut. yes, bukan salah dia nk lahir sebagai Jew..
but then, will u die if u stay away from being a fan? adakah iman akan berkurang? bak kata Syaid Abu 'Ala al-Maududi, kalau benda tak membantu menaikkan iman, tak payah pedulikan..
juga kata2 imam ini, sepatutnya duit digunakan utk gather ppl to BE part of the game, merasa ukhwah dan teamwork.. bukan spt yg dilakukan oleh musuh2 islam (tanpa kita sedari) mereka wujudkan games2 sebegini, hanyalah berjaya mengumpulkan umat Islam d depan TV, mencuri masa mereka barang sejam dua, utk menonton mereka bermain bola; tak tutup aurat pulak tu..
Jika Muslim faham tanggungjwabnya, (kenali 10 wasiat Hassan Al-Banna yg ke 10), t/jawab muslim lbh byk dr masa.. Jadi, why waste ur 90 min utk menonton bola?
Ingat kata2 seorang revert "Jika saya mati tanpa mengenali Islam, saya akan salahkan semua org Islam yang pernah sy kenali sbb tdk memberitahu sy ttg Islam!"
Kerja kita masih bertimbun...
(im not arguing in terms on Chelsea or Arsenal, its the whole football stuffs..)
remember last season arsenal was sucked big time?!! cant even tab the ball into the goal?? 20 shots on goal still goaless??
FYI the "think ISRAEL" is no longer can be found in the Emirates, arsenal.com nor the official sponsors list. so i assume that Arsenal is no longer sponsored by them...
n that might be (MIGHT BE) the reason Arsenal is doing very well this year without significant changes to the game play and players (thierry who?)
btw... the dutch guy is already on his way to stamford bridge...
org main bola x tutup aurat?? silelah check balik statement nih... xpon tny kpd azad or zacharias. mungkin ko perlu bace tulisan selain maududi n hasan al banna. sbb ko x pnh tgk bola sure ko xtau how people from arabic countries celebrate their goals...
penat2 nurse tolong tuliskan surat beranak utk ko mase kecik, besa2 jadik anonymous... haih

sebenarnya, banyak elemen dalam bola sepak ni, kita boleh relate kepada islam.
people come, people go, but the club stays. Sama macam islam, orang datang dan pergi, tetapi agama itu kekal, dan kitalah yang meneruskan perjuangan.
stay away, just sebab benda tu sangkut paut? apa awak cuba cakap ni? Ini RACISM, assabiyyah, dan nabi tak mengaku ummat beb. tahukah anda, ada orang YAHUDI, ya, orang yahudi yang kena belasah dengan tentera israel, kerana mengecam penubuhan ISRAEL? anda tidak tahu, kerana anda hanya baca albanna dan maududi.
tahukah anda, ada orang YAHUDI, ya, orang yahudi yang berdemonstrasi di jalan-jalan amerika dan eropah mengecam penubuhan ISRAEL? anda tidak tahu, kerana anda hanya baca albanna dan maududi.
tahukah anda, ada orang YAHUDI, ya, orang yahudi yang tidak sekali-kali akan mengibarkan bendera ISRAEL? anda tidak tahu, kerana anda hanya baca albanna dan maududi.
anda berfikir begini, kerana fikiran anda dipengaruhi ZIONIS. andalah produk ZIONIS. ZIONIS mengajar kita kononnya islam dan yahudi tidak boleh hidup aman, sedangkan lebih seribu tahun muslim dan yahudi hidup dengan aman.
Tahukah anda, ramai pemain barcelona, dan juga pemain di EPL beragama islam? Dan mereka ini, berjaya membuatkan orang barat rasa 'it is normal being muslim' dan mereka rasa nak dekat. Muslim bukan alien, dan mereka boleh menjadi muslim.
Adakah bola sepak tak mengajar teamwork? tidak menutup aurat? tahukah anda, ada riwayat mengatakan sahabat nampak peha nabi ketika pulang dari khaybar? saya tak mengatakan peha bukan aurat, tetapi adakah awak faham betul-betul isu aurat ni?
bagaimana anda tahu kami menghabiskan 90 minit menonton bola sepak, tidak 5 minit atau 3 jam? tahukah anda, berapa banyak masa azad habiskan buat kerja islam, covering johor sampai perlis, habis berapa ribu ringgit? you are very judgmental.
ya, dan banyak pemain bola sepak yang memberitahu orang barat tentang islam, tanpa ada sedari. dalam interview tv baru-baru ni, mereka ceritakan pengalaman berpuasa ketika 'matchday' dan sebagainya. adakah ini bukan 'dakwah islam'?
Saya setuju kerja kita masih bertimbun, tapi tahukah anda, berapa ramai kawan saya yang sudah mula solat sejak saya mula berbaik2, bermain bola sepak dan bersembang bola sepak dengan mereka?
there's more than black and white in this world mate. semoga anda membesar dan matang dengan jayanya
owh.. sungguh meriah post ini.. nak join gaduh gak.. chelsea lg azad??? ala.. tukar la.. season ni sokong kelab lain plak.. tehee~
oh eh bilanya nk tukar ke wordpress.. ke tak jd dh?

Encik/Cik Anonymous,
saya bersetuju dengan Zacharias. Sama-sama lah kita fikirkan ye. Antara fantasi & realiti. Terimalah realiti bahawa Islam itu untuk semua, dan Islam itu mudah.
adekah kelab yg berasaskan syaitan merah sebagai simbol kelab mendorong penyokong2 kelab tersebut menjadi ahli neraka?.. Wallahua'lam..
