Rhino's Skin

So what was his job desciption again?

oh great...yet another blogger claiming to know the inner workings of Chelsea. There seems to be so many of them, that Mourinho and Abramovich must have a hundred or so each following them around, hanging onto their every word and claiming to know their thought process.But not to worry, I expect posters like yourself to hijack sentences from it and copy/paste on here as if your own ;-)

Singing RdM name on the 16th min is not being toxic and neither was the Rafa song in my above post.That was sung as a united front that Chelsea comes first

Falling on the hip and upper thigh bone/ball joint is no laughing matter. They are susceptible to jarring, dislocation and breaking. Suffered a break and dislocation myself when falling the same way but on ice. The doctors told me that even if I hadn't had the injuries, I would have been in serious discomfort for a few hours minimum with the jarring. Now obviously Hazard only fell on a well manicured piece of grass which softened the impact but it is obvious he suffered a shock to that area. Was noticible that when he tried to exert serious pressure on his foot after wanting to come back on, it wasn't happening. Either that or he is a good actor when it comes to symptoms of pain. ;-) in which case he needs to hung, drawn and quartered at the Tower of London

What "toxic' atmosphere was that?There were a few banners and voices for 1 home game and a couple of nasty things said on a couple of away matches but the atmosphere was never toxic. Infact is was mainly jovial and united the support "We don't care about Rafa, he don't care about us, all we care about is Chelsea F C"

Suppose they are guessing on whether he took the supposed wage increase when he renewed his contract of which the salary hasn't been made public as yet

What has he done or not done to make you have such a view? Do you actually know what his role at the club entails? I.e. his job description not his job title. I am not saying he has done good or bad but Mourinho or whoever the manager is needs to work with him as they would any member of staff

and every player would be outstanding ;-)

All the media outlets have a different take on that.......no one knows for sure whether there actually was a meeting and if there was, what it was about.

so what???We are always making history. ;-)

Bring Harry out of retirement......we could end up signing top top players ;-)

The Spurs manager, Pochettino also has a decent record ;-)

We were specifically talking about the January transfer window.

but as I pointed out in reply to post saying we should pay out 40m for Stones or other defenders.......Mourinho now has nothing to lose by bringing back players such as Ake who are already Chelsea

Watford and Bournemouth players were playing in a lower league last season and seem to be doing alright.But you cant say promote youth in that case because U21, U19 is way below championship level

I see some posters are touting Bielsa as a possible replacement. Bollix to that.....would rather have old 'arry for a few months than him edit. just seen that Swansea might be in for Bielsa - bullet dodged in the long run

or recall Ake, get Hector in, etc etc and pay loan fees back to clubs.Mourinho has nothing to lose ( well, except his job but we will brush over trivial matters like that ). Teams are getting at us with pace and we need pace to combat them

lets get this right....you only joined so you could mug off the manager.Welcome and thanks for showing your support for the club first ;-) Good grief man....whats the world coming to

thanks muzzie.The old adage springs to mind with some of these jerks "if you can't support us when we are down then we don't need your support when we are winning"

by all means have a dig at Mourinho, certain players or staff etc but you can phuck right off by having a pop at match going supporters. Some of them invest a lot of time and money following the club all over and actually cannot be bothered with online forums, but still have opinions ......getting likes for vitriol like that just shows the mentality of certain posters

Yup....if something is worked on in training and not carried out on the pitch loads of managers say SIMILAR things....if that's the right word ;-) Read full post instead of concentrating on one word #readhisfullquote

My old man will be rolling around in his grave with laughter and poking fun at me at the situation we are in with him being a staunch die hard Fulham supporter

C'mon....if you are going to use Mourinho's quotes to have a pop at him, at least have the respect and honesty to do it in full."Q: Is it hard for you watching some of those players, knowing they are champion players, knowing how good they can be and they're almost unrecognisable? Mourinho: It's hard. All last season I did phenomenal work and brought them to a level that's not their level, which is more than they really are, OR this season we are doing so bad that some of the players - of course I am not saying all of them, I don't want to put them all in the same basket - but clearly for some of them, it is so difficult." Although he or his supporters on here haven't much to defend, let's at least get quotes right before slating someone The same goes for the 'betrayal" issue where he was even unsure if he had used the right word "Question: Jose, some fight towards the end but overall obviously a difficult night, but what are your thoughts on it? Mourinho: They deserved to win because they were better than us during a longer period of time. I think we were the best team for 20 to 25 minutes, maximum 30 minutes. They were the best team for one hour. They were very consistent and focused. They didn't make any mistakes. They were aggressive with everybody playing high intensity, high tempo and with a great mentality. It was difficult for us and then we conceded two goals that are unacceptable to me because I know one of my best qualities is to read the game for my players. It's to read the opponent and identify every detail about the opponent. These two goals, the movement of Vardy between the two central defenders, the cross with the left foot. Then Mahrez in the box one against one - I want one against two because I want the midfield player to close the best foot. The two goals are very difficult to accept. It's a big frustration to accept because I feel like my work was betrayed, if that's the right word."

Might have to share with Fulham or Brentford at this rate.....providing the rebuild isn't shelved

Kin Ipswich....bunch of inbreds ;-)
