Elran

Got it spot on, once again, in a big game/cup final. This is what puts him miles apart from the Rodgers/Pelligrini/Wengers of the world.
He said after the game finals are not there to play, they are there to win. - exactly what zouma was in there for, not to play, but to help us win, by stopping the spurs threat, where they ripped us apart in the 5-3 at the lane.
Masterstroke, everyone spent all week trying to work out what players and formation we should play.
Trust in Jose.

Can't be arsed to find the posts to quote, but Barbara, I hope you're now ashamed of your pre-match words. And everybody else who beat down the team before we even kicked the ball.

Sorry but how is this ridiculous "The ref saw it to some extent so we can't retrospective ban him" rule not the fault of the FA? They make the damn rules and bend them whenever they like. The ref must have seen Costa's 'stamps' as the ball was right there next to the incident, what else would the ref be doing, looking at the birds? But he still got a retrospective ban.
The FA have no morals, shame and even though a rulebook does exist they only abide by it when it suits them or their agenda.
They're a corrupt, contemptible shower of shit.

Madridistas slating Mourinho as the ''semifinal one'' is such a disgrace, before Mourinho went to Real they were a complete joke in Europe.
They didn't qualify for the quarter finals for 7 years, eliminated by the likes of Lyon. After he came they reached it 3 years in a row.

- First year against a super Barca was difficult, I also remember the easy red cards given to Real.
- Bayern wasn't better at all, Real should have reached the final. Lost with penalties, but if Real was there, I am not sure we'd have won the CL , so better for us.
- Dortmund, it was his final year and at the time around April the atmosphere was already really bad, plus Pepe had his worst game in years.

With us in his first spell he had some bad luck too:

- 2005: Ghost goal of Garcia.
- 2007: Penalties again, lost against Liverpool.

So instead of slating him as the ''semifinal one'', people could also call him the specialist in the competition. He's been in the last 4 of this competition 8/10 seasons as a CL team manager, that's 80%. How many coaches have this percentage? He's won it twice too, papers like Dailymail should shut up about him and we as Chelsea fans should be proud to have this CL specialist.

I think the Madridistas are not a good example to follow.
Jose has won two Champions League with two different teams in two different countries. Jose is special.
Perhaps reach the semifinals it may seem a joke for Madridistas, but Real Madrid was seven years without reaching the quarterfinals in Champions League before the arrival of Jose.
But I do not support Mourinho for their titles. Yes, Jose has 2 Champions League, he won the league in 4 different countries, he has won all the cups in four different countries and Jose is a legend of football. But I support Jose because I believe in him. His mentality, his philosophy, all in Jose is perfect.
Sometimes is better win by losing than lose by winning




Regards.

Thank God none of you fickle fans is in charge of this club. By your logic, City should win the quadruple every year because they play fancy football. Oh wait, they can't even make it to the quarter finals in Champions League with their attacking minded setup.
Get a grip, you're embarassing yourselves.

I love the bit where JT realises that Lukaku has an open shot on goal and his shoulders slump in resignation, only to jump back into action in astonishment, clearly disbelieving of Petr's save.

why post this now?

But Chelsea fans will always complain. Always and forever

We only leave London THRICE from now till the end of the season. Hull, Leicester and WBA. Pretty incredible stat. I can't remember something similar happening, at least to us. We have 8 more home games and 6 more away games. Of those 6 away games, all of them except away to Arsenal and West Ham are vs the 3 bottom sides (Leicester, QPR and Hull) and to 15th placed West Brom. Yes, they're fighting for their lives, but I'll rather we face these teams than top 6 teams away from home. There's a reason why they are in the relegation zone, because they're crap. We face all top 10 sides at home, including Man United, Liverpool and Southampton. We're 7 points clear of our nearest rivals, who are closer to 4th placed Man United than they are to us. We have to lose two games and draw one for them to overtake us. Man City still have to go away to Stoke, Man United, Liverpool and a resurgent Tottenham. Even assuming they stop dropping points at home from now till May, that's a very very tough away schedule. We have the best squad of players and by far the best manager. Weirder things have happened, yes, but taking all those bullet points into consideration, it will be an absolute travesty if we don't win it from here now. On paper and in reality, the 1st half of the season with all those tough matches away from home we've had was much more difficult than this 2nd half. Unless we get dicked over by the refs, we really should be (deserving) Champions this time.

Sad to see him go, but probably best for his career. Hope he will be happy and successful at Wolfsburg.

Rumors are that he told SKY to basically fuck off from Cobham today.

I hope there are no press conferences till the end of the season. Bring on your bloody fines.

Agree with your whole post, except with the examples you give. I can understand why those aren't investigated afterwards (even think it's not possible?).
Better example imo was in the first leg:

I don't think one paper/pundit/tv station even adressed it. But with the 'stamp' (which wasn't one) they are all crying over themselves.
