I wanted it to work out so much, put my heart into it. No one can deny that Jose Mourinho is a special person for this club, so a lot of people cut him more slack than others, it hasn't always been the most rational discussions, but that's love, at least for some of the fans. It's already been said but it's like a get together with your favorite ex and for some time both of you have a great time, after it especially one part tries to get back to it but impossible, it only gets worse. Most likely not rational thinking but you don't fuckin' care till the end. I have seen it all before... It was the first game after Mourinho's sacking, so very emotional for some fans. But we all go to matches because we want to see our team play, nowadays we don't pay to have Jose Mourinho around, but we're still going, so priorities are clear, imo. Chanting the name of our most successful manager ever is a class act, he's our legend, imo. But that's the legend, we come to see our team and appreciate the beautiful game, sticking it to some Spuds or Goonettes is nice too... Cheers, mate.

He is just a wind up merchant, too much enjoing the whole situation and sadness. Put him on your ignore list, someday he will get bored, at least one can hope.

Keyboard-warriors, look at his social media sides, mate. But otherwise you're right, Ronaldo got some harsh treatments from madridistas, but Hazard has been treated well in public, imo.

What a comeback story that would be, our rivals would be left fuming, especially the Mancs... Truly a dream come true, Mourinho match fit again, we would clean our house and rise again to the very top, absolutely loving every piece of it. One thing no one can destroy is hope; i would go every fuckin' day to church and pray all day long if we could pull this one off. Whatever it takes! There has to be a football god, bring home the lost son, please Roman. Roman Abramovich's tactical M.A.S.T.E.R.C.L.A.S.S. #AManCanDream

No surprise: They both like each other very much, he will come for him, i think Courtois would like to work with Jose again. Will be a very bad loss for Chelsea, but that's what Roman wanted.

Come on is that all you have got? I had some good dicussions with didier, sometimes he is too aggressive, i think, but overall he has got good knowledge and it's nice having a chat with him, imo. Why are you trying to get personal? If you can't beat them in a discussion, get a ban??? What are your intentions? You clearly aren't looking for a dicussion, only here to provoke? Our team just won, but that doesn't interest you. This dude styles is acting the same, Henrique sometimes too. Very sad, why can't we be united? We had our different views, but now Mourinho is gone, you moan about the support, how some players had been coached wrongly. It all leads to one thing: Jose Mourinho, obsessed??? Back to topic: We played a lot better, hope we can continue like this. For me, very nice way to say thank you to our old coach.

They spent their hard earned money on tickets to see their own team play. Our manager lost his job but the players are untouchable and play better. The players took Mourinho out, imo. The Fans have every right to boo, not very nice what happened. Calling us a disgrace, go to matches and say it into our faces!

Only here to provoke some good guys just because they liked their former Boss? Nothing more to say? Feel sad to share a community with you, but whatever makes you sleep at night.

3:1 we got this.

We want more we want more

Great chants, loud and clear. Great way to say thanks to one of us.

Mate, i condemn their behaviour and I disagree with Roman's decision. We have to wait and look how it goes, but i think a guy like Hazard won't make that kind of trouble ever again. Hazard had a problem with Mourinho, imo, but with others he didn't and so far he has seen a lot. It's sad, but if you are a specialist, you live in your own world and can demand a lot more, imo. Don't like it, but loosing both Mourinho and guys like Hazard would be very difficult to recover from. Personally speaking, a very good coach like Mourinho is worth more than some players, but big Rom made his choice, we all have to live with it.

I disagree with you. For me it was either them or Jose Mourinho. Roman stood by his players, selling both parties would hurt us lot. I don't like their behaviour but their footballing skills are exceptional. They will stay imo. They have to turn it on, but they are doing it now.

He won us three league titles.It's the first game and we appreciate his work. It's a goodbye... When you win us titles, i personally sing your name

I'm not upset. Don't put words in my mouth.

Jose Mourinho Jose Mourinho Jose Mourinho absolutely loving it.

Now the Boys play football...

Fuckin love the Mourinho chants. Class!!!

Very bad news. But according to Styles and others we already have a legend: Emenalo. Maybe he can man up and coach the team. That would be very interesting, no more hiding. I heard Abramovich will kick him out if he doesn't find the right man next time, big pressure. But i have to support our legend and hope he succeds...

Very sad news, but good to see that most of you don't lack class and wish him well. I was a bit surprised, i must say. Now the pro-Mourinho group has done their all, the bigger group who thought it was better to part ways, they have to bring their shit now I expect the likes of Loftus-Cheek, Baba, Traore, Kenedy, Aina, Musonda and so on to see more and more because their lack of playing time was on Jose, right? I read Mourinho cried after the sacking, very very upsetting. "One of us" wasn't just a phrase, imo. We'll see how it goes long-term, i have decided to come back, because i think the dicussions won't be so one-sided anymore (no harm meant). Hope no one has a problem with that, at some of you, i don't intend to open a bookstore. @Zolayes looking forward to speaking with you, bring it, no more Jose around the house, can only get better?

Sorry mate, don't quote me again, please. You already made it crystal clear to me that you don't like my "weird arguments" and you are done having a proper discussion on TC, at least with me. So what good can come out of such a "discussion"? Maybe you didn't see it, but i'm taking some time off as an active member of this community, i have my personal reasons. Back to topic: Yes, you made valid points, i give you that. One could discuss, or better not. So long!

Last page Don't read it or just laugh at it @Henrique, @Killer, @Rmpr and others, it's just "a book without any valid points and full of weird arguments", my time has come to an end, my last page on here, don't worry! I'm fed up by this bullies, don't need that in my free time anymore. About the game: It was a very bad game, we didn't stand a chance in the first half. No shots on goal and no play whatsoever. Second half was slightly better, some chances were there for the taking (for example Ivanovic or Remy) but it shouldn't happen. Maybe Jose Mourinho's time at Chelsea will end within the next hours. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion about that. We were that bad, no fuckin' clue. Some people had been sacked for less. I expected a win, how wrong could i be?! Au revoir: What i can't stand is calling a member of "our" team cunt or worse, lack of respect and manners. But most of the members don't give a fuck. Some members have fun taking sentences out of context and laughing at a very sad fellow Blue. Schadenfreude is already on a new level, sky-high i might say, it's a big fun laughing other members down. Best thing to do is writing an one-liner about how much you want some people out of the club. Put in as much disrespect as you can! Some people don't want to have a discussion; if you don't comply, you missed the point, explaining it properly is just beneath their dignity. I started to be more active in the summer, back then it seemed like a special place where some guys could share a beer. D.O.P.E Well, that has changed over the last months, the atmosphere is getting more and more toxic, just nasty. Thanks @stroey, @Johnny, @blue_fox, @Barbara, @stats, @CMS, @iceboy, @DYC, @Fulham_Broadway, @supporter for some good debates. Wish you guys all the best for the future. We had some good discussions, but this isn't okay. You're better than is. Take a look at Muzchap. Didierforever is as aggressive as you are, at least he has manners. In the future you can discredit our people as much as you like, i'm done, therefore quoting is useless. Heartbroken and crying in the corner, but this decision is taken. I should have done it some days ago, but after some nice messages i reconsidered. But it's hopeless. Feel free to delete my account, @ModTeam. Goodbye!

Okay man, i think we have to differ between having an easier schedule around the big clashes and having other big clubs within the league. Two different arguments, imo. I think tweaking the schedule can help you, but does it make that huge of a difference? How often does the Spanish league (currently the top dog) change their schedule just because of some Champions-Leauge knockout games? As far as i'm aware of not so often, i think before a game against Bayern Munich there were changes for Real Madrid, but otherwise? How often does Barcelona get facilitations? I don't remeber any, sorry, can you back it up? The German Bundesliga sees it similar, i think. Back in the day, the Premier-Leauge destroyed Europa, no matter how the schedule was, they were just that good, imo. The quality of the top teams have regressed, imo. How many world-beaters are currently playing in England? Most of the very best don't even play in England anymore and some of the tactical systems went down the drain, imo. No more flexibility and the systems can easily be countered. Technical abilities> physical abilities (imo). Manchester City played often with 2 strikers in Europa, they payed the price, imo. Some years ago i read an article in a big German newspaper about the innovations in the Premier-League (~2008); quick passing, scouting system and so on, they fucked it all up, imo. Not so long ago Bayern Munich were nowhere near the level they currently possess. The Bundesliga lacked a consistent and aggressive competitor, then Dortmund showed up and gave Bayern a good run for their money. Overall the whole league has upped their game in the last years and look what has happened? Bayern has become a real Europan powerhouse. For me, because of the harder competition. The top ~8 clubs in Spain are really good, imo and they challenge each other for the championship. Yes, only the top 3 win it in the end, but Sevilla, Valencia, Villareal and others are able to beat the top dogs any day. Just rewatch yesterday's match: Real Madrid against Villarreal. But i don't think the Spanish clubs did too badly in Europa over the last years, did they? League 1 don't offer a good competition: there is only PSG and no one is able to keep up with them over a whole season, imo. How do you improve when you don't know exactly about your strengths and weaknesses? Final words: I hear you, mate. The English league is hard and one loses a lot of strength participating in it. But the clubs are able to have big squads around the house and should (have done) better. I think we can speak of a cocking pot; a lot of ingredients have been put in and they make one hell of a cocktail in the end of the day. There is a grain of truth in your thinking, i don't want to deny it, but your equations and are too simple. Agree to disagree.

Yes, PSG are steamrolling the league, again, good on them, but is that really an advantage? That means no real test and challenge till our boys are coming, i don't want to have that, honestly speaking. They can rest some players, but you need to be really up for it in one decisive moment, is that possible when tinkering? The resumes of Mourinho and Ancelotti in cup competitions don't exist without case. For me, you need maximum knowledge of your mates, where they will be at which times, that's learning by doing. Whatever happens, i don't see PSG favorites just because of these stated reasons, sorry. It's obvious, but we have to improve at defending set pieces, especially headers. Kompany already bossed us in that department in this season, we have seen it all before, sadly. Sometimes i think Mourinho overestimates the impact caused by aerial threats, but now we need it, who is gonna bail us out? Costa is not a beast in the air, Matic is off-limits, are Ivanovic, Cahill and Terry really up for it? Doubt it... I see one man, Zouma, but that won't be enough, just don't know yet what to do to solve the problem. Can anyone tell if Papy could do the job? Otherwise we need to buy as soon as possible! Don't want to see men against boys... We are in desperate need of leadership. PSG players are bullies, who is gonna stand up for us? Someone has to give Costa valerian tea, otherwise he will most likely be sent off, they will target him, Luiz and others are just nasty. We need to pass quickly, they will go after Hazard and Willian, tackle or simply cut them down, disgusting. More direct play instead of shifting the play from one side to another, no silly turnovers and as a result of devastating counter attacks with the likes of Lucas, Di Maria, Pastore Cavani and so on orchestrated by maestro Verratti. If than can't be executed, sweep it away. Keep it tight! Costa and Hazard are liabilities, imo, don't even want to think about Cesc and Ivanovic. Courtois, Zouma, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Willian, maybe Oscar, would be up for it today, imo, thank fuck there is still some time left. Since 2011, Guardiola, Heynckes, Simeone, Klopp, Blanc got the better of Mourinho. He is still one of the best coaches around, but the special aura of invincibility has been gone for quite some time, imo. Even if we lose, i still be in his corner, because for me it's not just about winning, but i think for a number of footie fans his reputation is on the line, Jose Mourinho really needs to pull off a masterclass and continue in this competition. No one can take away his achievements which were won in the past. Sometimes shit happens, but it can't happen over a number of years. I'm really pumped by this news, i wanted to play them badly, because i think they are beatable for us, but we need to bring our a-game. That's what Champions-League is all about, at least for me. Someone already said it: PSG are the new Liverpool. Bring your shit! Greetings.

We had the advantage twice and PSG's backs were up against the wall, we couldn't defend corners for quite some time, that was the problem, imo. Otherwise we would have knocked them down. So i don't think the match plan wasn't that bad. PSG have a great team, but you don't fuck with Mourinho in the knockout rounds. Tight game, we'll see how it goes, but i for one am quite hopeful, most likely we'll go for UCL glory this season.
