The Chels

One is much more replaceable than the other.

The Barca game is going to be fun. Don't think we'll even leave our penalty area.

In captain Lee Mason we trust.

Instead of screaming pointlessly, how about encouraging the players to press, Conte?

Never mind.

Hopefully we can settle the tie tonight.

Isn't that chant offensive to Barkley, you know, a scouser himself?

Damn lmao, never a good idea to get into a war of words with Jose, although Mourinho has now played his trump card. Conte still has the eye-gouging, 16th place in the table, and tax evasion arguments to use

Chelsea matchgoers seem quite apathetic towards Hazard anyway. They're not particularly vocally supportive of him, in comparison to someone like Willian, say. Our most talented ever player, hardly treated like such by the home crowd.

Woah just read that this guy is 25 years old, genuinely thought he was bordering on 30. Sell ASAP, might still be able to get some of our money back.

We had 61/66 points in the 05/06 season. Then as is virtually always the case with fast-starters we dropped off in the second half of the season. Won't be surprised if (when) that happens with City too, although they'll still win the league of course.

Just saw this on RedCafe about the points record: we had a crazy 61 points out of a possible 66 after 22 games in 05/06. Still didn't manage to beat our record total from the season before.

Spurs away at WHL is never easy. Though they did it away to a Mourinho team, which is also extremely difficult.

Most talented player in the history of this football club. It saddens me to think he will probably leave in his peak.

2 in 3, or alternatively 2 in 8

Thought he was excellent today. Problem is if you miss a chance as important/big as that, that's all anyone will remember.

Truly embarrassing. When will we start a big game by pressing high and taking the game to the opposition, instead of passively sitting deep and just waiting to concede? I long for the day.

A lack of pace just limits him too much. It's a pity because he's an otherwise good player, a bit like Cesc in that regard.

Shame. We looked promising whilst he was on the pitch.

Never mind, seems like he just prefers Spurs.

Hence "beyond what is known of his injury". Could be more serious problems.

Barkley saga reeks of medical issues (beyond what is already known of his injury). Remember Mourinho saying you don't publicly say a player has failed a medical so as not to ruin his career?

Funny how everyone wants to overlook this. We've shown we have no defensive stability whatsoever when we're down to 10 men, not even when playing at home against a small team. Conte is as much to blame as anyone else.

Never a dull moment supporting this club.

Doubt it. Conte is much more similar to Mourinho than people want to believe.
