Whoever succeded in making this a legitimate rumour deserves a promotion.

It's actually quite funny to see people predicting Mourinho's last games here. What's funnier is seeing their faces after each day Mourinho stays here In the start of the season we were like 40% good performance wise, and 30% good results wise. We got those percentages to say 50% and 100% on our run against Maccabi Arsenal and co. Got it back to 30% and say 10% in our defeats at Porto, Southampton etc. Since Aston Villa, I'd say we're up to 60% performance wise, and 40% results wise. Expect us to get those performance numbers up to around 80% in the next 4-5 weeks, I think we will play brilliantly against Liverpool, because we are improving game by game, I don't know if we'll win, football is so unpredictable, but I'm delighted the players and coach aren't letting me down anymore as a fan ( although I don't think they were at the start of the season, the general feeling is that they didn't give enough... ), just a few things Mourinho should sort out in his communication ( which he already did for me with his calmness today and his spot on comments post-game ). Up The Chels ! We can see the end of the tunnel !

Amigos, chillax. What I saw today is a team fighting till the last moments of the game to get an equalizer, tearing apart Stoke for 45 minutes with only a bit of luck in the final third left. What I saw today is a more relaxed José, who could have easily contested all of the referee's decisions, as there was some really doubtful ones, but chose to stay composed and in control instead ( which subsequently translated into our players on the field ). It's a less useless trophy for us to worry about, especially with the way our season is going, I wouldn't mind getting out of the FA Cup as well actually, the last thing we need is extra games like the 120 minutes we had to play today. We definitely played better in the last 4 games, cliché or not, that's reality, we should aknowledge that. Onto the next one, up the blues !

Slamming the media and defending his players right now in the post match conference. Absolutely spot on.

They're playing tomorrow, we have one more recovery day, which is actually better than 30 less minutes of competition, especially as we have an early kick off on Saturday.

FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. i HAVE NEVER CHEERED THIS MUCH FOR A COC GOAL !!

Cahill, what have you done... We are just unlucky aren't we ? Give Walters the same occasion 99 times, he won't score it again, like ever..

1 fucking mistake ? All Stoke actions have been from his side, the guy is just a liability defensively, sorry. To start with , Zouma is a way better option.

Everyone understanding why Baba isn't a regular starter now ? Sorry José for ever doubting that...

Mikel is pure class...

Stop blaming Ramires, he was running at full speed, hard to put that one in, he makes an extra touch unvolontarily which makes it harder for him. Ref should start booking those Stoke wankers.

Hazard just activated the god mode.

Excellent start. I don't want Oscar out of the starting eleven ever again !

But..but... He is a selfish pr*ck who doesn't care about the club But... He is destroying this football club

Because he didn't get proper physical preparation like they did, according to the normal schedule, Lamps would be hitting his peak starting this period of the season, unlucky, the MLS is already over, he had to take a break from his season with City and thus missed the preparation. I'm quite convined that him training with us for 1 or 2 months would absolutely boost the confidence of the players. Bring Drogba too and the spirits are 100% high in no time, that generation had some unique stuff about them, the only ones I can compare them to mentally from this one might be Willian and Azpi ( surely Begovic but he isn't an outfield player ).

Given his physical condition at 37, I would like to believe he would walk in the team for a super sub role, playing the last 15-20 minutes of every game as he did with City ( although playing full games there from time to time ), his intelligent runs, shooting ability and spirit are still intact, in fact, his trademark late runs with a few goals here and there might help us a lot in scoring...

Any chance of that happening with the MNC-NYC afficilation ? If so, we shouldn't hesitate, we obvisouly need leaders and big guys with strong characters, him and Drogba would do wonders to our spirit as a group, the latter might be on the play-offs but Frank is available now, and I would be absolutely fine with him at least training with the group and being around them 24/7. However as I said, pretty compromised with the big part Manchester City must be playing in NYC decisions now, I doubt they would allow them to send him on loan, after all, we're still competition rivals for them ( although one might suggest the opposite )

Exactly my thought, that article is spot on.

Absolutely delighted at the ascending common sense in here, the spirits are a bit higher than previously. Just a bad phase, we'll come back eventually.

This post should be pinned in the Home Talk Chelsea Forums page, absolutely spot on mate Players and manager are perfoming awfully atm, stand by them, they deserve a chance, it's their first big fuck up as a group That's what I said post Southampton, and unlike what people like to believe here, we did improve, not dramatically enough to turn the whole season around, yesterday was one of those games where we could have fielded Messi-Ronaldo in front of Modric* and still lost the game, but I can see the end of the tunnel if the players and manager stay together. KTBFFH, forever and always ! *Holy Fuck

Mourinho took off Fabregas again. All his criticizers can shut their mouth. We are absolutely unlucky today..

No, normally he can't.

Happens with all the moaning posts, that's one of the reasons why I stopped trying personnally

People often forget that Mata is more dispossesed than Fabregas, and is physically, really, really weak. This kind of players need protection to succeed, or team tactics built around them and only for them to shine, like Benitez did with Mata. I'd rather see José give Hazard the freedom he did in the last two seasons ( relative freedom, we have to admit ), than build all our game around Mata and make players like Hazard and Oscar defend for him ( like Benitez did ). Because simply put, Hazard is 10 times a better footballer than Mata, and we can only have one of that kind of players with freedom with out ageing and slow defense. José is dealing with what he inherited, deal with it yourself now...
