Christ I'm happy that Liverpool have beaten Norwich such a weird feeling. Oh well back to more pain and misery tomorrow.

Sampaoli quits Chile and then hires Mendes as his agent. Mendes has a lot of links to Chelsea. The Guardian implicated Mendes and Kenyon over third party ownership which Chelsea have declined to comment on apparently. But the main reason and this is just my own opinion but I've got a couple of mates who work for bookies one an online firm who say a lot of dosh has gone on Sampaoli in the last few days. Sky bet have him as evens and the best I've seen is 2-1. Speculation of course but I think it could happen.

Mourinho leaves a little surprise for his successor in the dugout

Sampaoli has just got a new agent one Jorge Mendes. That's all I need to convince me to go to Ladbrokes in the morning to put a few quid on Sampaoli being our manager in the Summer.

Superb post my son in a nutshell the the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

We are a complete and utter shambles on and off the pitch. Whoever takes over in the Summer well good luck to them because the malaise in and around the club will continue. The team how the fuck this lot ever won anything is a miracle the turn around in form and confidence is totally alarming. Case for the prosecution Matic you can see why we got rid of him in the first place the bloke is utterly useless he's just not a premier league player although he will shine if we get relegated and before anyone says that's a knee jerk reaction I'm afraid it's not we really are in big trouble. The quality of the Premier League is the worse in memory and yet we sit just four points above the drop zone if Swansea win it's a fucking nightmare. Anyone who's deluded enough to think we'll make the top half never mind the top four or six well I admire your confidence but it's just misguided loyalty.

For any of overseas members The One Show is like the worst kind of dentist waiting room magazines in 30 minutes of bland insipid shit telly.

Yes it is. The B.B.C. paid a shit load of money for the rights so by putting the draw on The One Show there guaranteed a bigger audience.

I was at the home leg another painful night of which there were many in those days. That season when the Shed reopened we beat Plymouth 5-0 after the game there was about 50 of us in the White Hart having a sing song still one of the best laughs I've had as a Chelsea fan. The old bill came in about 8.30 not because we were being out of order but the governor of the boozer had booked a band and thought if he didn't get rid of us we'd end up singing all night.

Fucking hell mate it's 2016. I'm surprised you've evolved from the crayon to the laptop.

So you honestly think someone who may or as far as I know hasn't had any bad publicity should have her professional integrity questioned by bullshit and hearsay?. The bottom line is she was called on to the pitch by the ref she done her job to be met by a middle aged man acting like a truculent teenager. As for bad medical decisions Tottenham's medical staff while helped by an expert in the crowd saved Muamba's life and then a couple of months later are being called unprofessional because they let Lloris play while concussed. I really can't understand the ''she was bringing bad publicity that no other doctors have brought to their clubs in the meanwhile''. .

Semantics

No your right Jose had no influence in Eva getting sacked the man who wields the axe at the Bridge is Paco Blosca A geezer who I and I would imagine the majority of Chelsea fans have never heard of. He's so anonymous he isn't even a household name in his own household

Splitting hairs son

Without getting bogged down with the legalities of the case what is undeniable is Mourinho's petulant schoolboy just found out he's going to Darlington rather then Disneyland for his summer holidays is all the evidence the prosecution need that Eva's boss was to say the least prone to the occasional tantrum and overreaction.

Yes Michael Hector will be a prospect for Vittesse Arnhem and we have even less chance of getting Stones now then we had in the Summer

Well if Barca or Madrid come calling no player is not going to have his head turned at the very least. As for who would come in if we get 100 million quid there's the problem. The very best players are taken and then the next tier will only come if we pay shit loads of money for them. If Hazard stays who will we be able to attract? It's not like 2003 and with our recent piss poor record who comes in the Summer is crucial. If the likes of Pappy Unpronounceable and Michael Hector are the sort of quality we can attract then we are in the muck and the mire.

Well with no European football next year we are going to have to make up the deficit somehow. The days of Chelsea buying the best players are over. Better get used to the Cuadrado, Salah type players coming we are not dining at the top table at least for a season. There is no way we would turn down 100 million quid for Hazard the same as Man City wouldn't turn down the same for Aguero.

Hazard is at a crossroads in his career. Either he starts reproducing last years form or he could be put in the category of not fulfilling his potential. Just hasn't been the same player this season which is not surprising seeing as he virtually carried us to the title. So our best player is off form and we are struggling badly coincidence?. If we were offered £100 million for him it's a no brainer we have to take it. It's investing it wisely that's the problem that Spurs and Liverpool have found out to their cost.

I am not a fan of the bloke by any means he's certainly someone who it's hard to warm to but this is from the Guardian's daily email the fiver. Rafa Benítez won two La Liga titles and a Euro Vase at Valencia; orchestrated the most astonishing Big Cup win in history for the benefit of Liverpool; triumphed in the most exciting FA Cup final of the modern era; knocked Barcelona out of Big Cup on their own patch using players primarily interested in battering seven shades out of each other with golf clubs; became a world champion; and most impressively of all won a European trophy for Chelsea, a feat wholly beyond the ken of a certain other Iberian tactician who didn’t have to cope with the added pressure of 41,798 punters screaming eff, cee and effing cee at him every 12 seconds while he was trying to concentrate on his job. But despite it all, poor old Rafa never seems to get any respect. As well as having to put up with 41,798 punters screaming eff, cee and effing cee at him every 12 seconds while he was trying to concentrate on his job, he’s also repeatedly got it in the neck as a result of being a bit defensive; for not being very good at media patter; for once coming second best in the old mind games with Lord Ferg, a failure which puts him in an exclusive club known as Everyone; for looking at Him in a funny way; and for not having a similar body mass index to Keith Richards that time the Rolling Stones guitarist stayed awake for the entirety of 1972. It’s not much of a rap sheet, when you look at it dispassionately. But it’s been enough to get him the heave-ho from Real Madrid, who are burning through managers at such a rate that Sam Allardyce is statistically almost certain to be offered the chance he’s been dreaming of in March 2017, just after Leicester City put the Spanish giants out of Big Cup quarter-finals 5-0 on aggregate

Agreed. I bet if Andy Murray was a member he wouldn't be happy !

What's happened to the go to top of page tab ? (or whatever it's called !)

11 geezers on the pitch looking like they actually give a shit how refreshing.

And we had none of Costa's petulance today. Hiddink probably told him to calm it down your not doing yourself and the team any favours. Mourinho on the other hand was more then likely encouraging him to practice the dark arts.
