*applauds*

Absolutely well said, i agree 100%!

And i know a lot of people still disagree, but i was happy Chelsea told us about Gallas, even if the tone of the statement was a bit over the top.

Yeah, anyway, don't know what else to say, cos you've summed it all up perfectly!

Thanks. I needed to get that out.

I wish there had been a way for the club to tell Chelsea fans without anyone else finding out, because I want to know but I hate that the club is getting crucified over this. :(

Word.

I think it's very sad that we're no longer shocked at the lack of integrity of many footballers these days; we're all blase about it now. Which says a lot about the increasing numbers of footballers who whinge, plead, throw tantrums and outright lie to move to other clubs.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who's suspicious of our backroom management. I actually think Jose wasn't too involved with the decision-making; it was more a financial matter in this case.

Yeah, let's just play some decent football and shut the hell up, eh? Way too much yapping so far this season.

Oh, and I forgot: I completely agree that Chelsea would never have dared to release a statement like that, unless the contents were the truth! At the risk of being sued, I don't think we'd be stupid enough to make false claims to the world which impunge Gallas' integrity.

Just watch. He says he's gonna sue, but, in the end? Not happening.

I wonder what the players themselves are feeling now, though. It's got to be hard to put aside all this crap and focus on training and matches.

The lack of integrity in the football world, from players to agents to boardrooms, is very disturbing, but you're right that we've all sort of got used to it by now. It's quite sad.

As for Chelsea, Jose has his antagonistic ways but I actually trust him and feel he's honest. Kenyon and co. are a totally different story. :(

From now on I'm going to cling to players like JT who are Chelsea for life.
