We weren't a top club when he came here, we hadn't even won the league in 50 years, let alone being a top European club. Roman obviously saw Mourinho's talent and he had the money to lure him over. Mourinho understood he'd have massive resources at his disposal in addition to the chance to cement his reputation by moving to a much better league. Like I said, I give all the credit in the world to Mourinho for making excellent use of Roman's money, but it's useless pretending the money is not a major part of what got him here in the first place. It's a marriage of Roman's generosity and Mourinho's acumen that we won the stuff we did, so I don't see why people should be troubled by the idea of attributing our success to them both, and not Mourinho alone.

Stop stoking the fire

Of course it matters, Roman's money lured him to the club, but it's enitrely a credit to Mourinho that he utilized his resources as well as he did. And lmao, you've got to be fucking blind if you think I hate Mourinho. I've mentioned all the time that I respect him. And yes, I love Kalou, what's your fucking point? Why do I bother with you? Idiot.

Let's not pretend that Mourinho would have come to Chelsea even if he didn't have Roman's millions backing him ...

^ You forgot the 4 special sessions a week that focus on imaginary card waving.

Can't believe the season's gonna end in couple of weeks

Very tough choice I reckon. Henry gets my vote, Zola a very close second and Bergkamp third.

I'm not sure posting external links is allowed on this forum, we have our own in-house discussion topics and match reports.

I ain't here to amuse or entertain you. If stating exactly what's happened is 'degrading the quality of the argument', so be it.

Dream car ... .... the Bat-fucking-mobile

Nobody will believe you. If you dare to say anything against Mourinho, you will be shot down because this is a Chelsea forum and he's a Chelsea legend. He's above scrutiny or criticism. It doesn't matter if you repeatedly state that you have nothing but respect for him and his achievements here. Sigh.

Let's hope he doesn't give people an opportunity to blame him. Changing 433 would be a "d'oh!" moment of epic proportions.

We make our history :champions:

Isn't that racist?

Then that's a fucking disgrace

Tbh Coentrao would be better as a left winger. Wouldn't mind him in that role, seeing as Malouda and Zhirkov are shit, to put it mildly.

Who's hating Iniesta :unsure: We hate these people :

Same, which is why a move to Marseille is in everyone's best interests. A sulky Didi is no good to us.

In fact I would say it was the opposite. He was a bit of a taskmaster not afraid to let the players have one. And such behaviour doesn't go down well with the big egos of professional footballers.

He doesn't have to. He can be our own John O'Shea - bit part player having the ability to play in a couple of positions. Saves us from making bids for squad players like Benayoun and Pienaar. But the thing is Jack knows he is capable of being a starter every week for some teams in the league, and being a very good starter at that. He will move on, as much as I don't want him to.

There are 3 - Air India, ONGC FC, Mumbai FC - and they share the same ground. I follow Mumbai FC.

If Drogba wants to stay, he has to accept a role on the bench. Torres-Sturridge is Chelsea's future.

True that.

@Kez : Like I said, I was unaware. Apologies to GodZola then for that phrase, though I wasn't aware of it's meaning. I stand by whatever else I've said.

'Jog on' to me means 'Give me a break'. If it has some offensive connotation where you come from, I assure you I was unaware.
