The Chels

Some very dubious inferencing. How have you managed to draw that conclusion? I simply disproved your 'old quote' rant. Buh-bye.

Ok you can choose to believe that he lied about speaking to Frank. Where do you see me clinging onto his every words? I was just proving you wrong

If he wasn't reliable why would the BBC quote him? And well it negates everything you just said.

You'd still have to fly within the US though.

It's a straw man argument: 'I'm disappointed in Frank and against the move.' (Only a minority are going further than this) 'WHAT?! How dare you say he's not a legend anymore after all he's done....'

Here's another interview with him: http://talksport.com/football/exclusive-former-chelsea-ace-lampard-must-be-respected-man-city-move-140803105478 Such a classy guy and was a great defender. He's also still respectful towards 'Mr Mourinho' even though Jose forced him out of Madrid.

Someone asked him, probably hoping he'd mock Chelsea/Mourinho.

Look at the first goal United scored against Real Madrid. Would they have done that under Moyes? No way. The manager does make a difference by practising these attacking movements in training. This is Jose's weakness.

Oh right, thanks. My point still stands though

The Bundesliga actually starts on 22 August (6 days after PL start).

Quote me one of my 'insults' to Lampard please.

All those pills making you mad grandpa?

What happened to that petition to rename Chelsea FC to Hazard FC? I can certainly see why it was proposed. In other news listening to Hazard give this (unintentional) backhanded compliment to Bremen on Chelsea TV was hilarious. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2714981/Jose-Mourinho-fears-World-Cup-stars-not-fit-start-Premier-League-season.html#ixzz39Mz1N9l6

How polite of you.

To be fair to Luis very few of his mistakes are technical ones. It's mostly breakdowns in communication as he hasn't really developed many on-pitch relations and understandings with the other attacking players yet. Hopefully that will change and his performances will pick up as he plays with Hazard more.

Has the Russel Brand v Fox News dispute been posted yet? Sean Hannity is such an ignorant idiot Part 1: Part 2:

http://www1.skysports.com/gameoftheseason How is the Man City 0-1 Chelsea match not there? That was such an emphatic performance.

Eto'o is/was apparently negotiating with West Ham FFS. He would surely have stayed here had Mourinho asked him to but I reckon Jose has made an emotional decision here in that he prefers Drogba. Like you say Eto'o is much better and has just had a season to acclimatise to the PL (even if he didn't do too well).

...especially as he's said: "Nando will always be a choice and a very useful player for us. When you look at your three strikers on paper, its a hell of a strike force. They have different qualities which is very important.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11008260/Jose-Mourinho-poised-to-select-Thibaut-Courtois-as-his-first-choice-goalkeeper-ahead-of-new-season.html I don't understand why he's talking about how the strikeforce looks on paper (that's something fans do, not managers). In reality Torres and Drogba are not good enough anymore.

Probably because Torres hasn't hurt Mourinho personally like Casillas did.

I think it's important that he and Hazard play a good number of minutes together in the final pre-season matches.

It's only 1 more game (Burnley).
