Michael Essien

Anyone notice that the second Ghana exit the African Nations he's back fighting fit for Chelsea in todays game vs Liverpool.

Very convenient if you ask me, would have been nice to have Kolo Toure and Manu Eboue around at the moment, but thats life...

Sinister plot or paranoid delusions?....you decide

This is the tackle he got injured by on Jan. 2nd, I guess Reo-Coker was in on the conspiracy then?

It looks nasty but i've seen plenty of players walking away from tackles like that, he could easily have took a slight knock and exaggerated it to make it sound worse than it was.

But who knows....you could argue that chelsea put themselves in a position for people to doubt them after all their dodgy dealings in recent years.

You can argue all you want
Why would he miss the ANC (he wanted to go by the way) & just stay here not playing & training? Why would we bring in another player specifically as cover for him (Maniche) if his injury was fake? Why was Drogba allowed to go when we are sparse up front even with him? etc...

Well regarding the replacement, he wouldn't have been allowed to play even if he was fit or not, plus maniche is a mourinho man, i think it was a matter of time before he was brought in either way. If they knew essien was only going to be out for 2 weeks, then why bring in maniche as 'injury cover' for one game.

You could argue till kingdom come with this one, just saying it looks mightily suspicious when i hear words like 'special dispensation'.
