for fucks sake my heart cant take this

No, I think that's exactly what he wants. What I would guess he isn't too fond of, is giving out any guarantees on playing time, other than whoever performs the best plays.

Selling Lukaku would be such a waste. I know Mourinho wants the right mentality from his players but... He got so much quality.

Salah looked good, but it was Willian for me. The amount of balls he won and chances created of him winning those balls with his hard work, on the Stoke side of the pitch, was brilliant. Then also a really good goal.

Oh and before I forget. Another shocking performance from Ramires. Wow.

Many mistakes were made. Cech especially looked suspect on two of the goals. While Luiz probably could have cleared that OG, it was a freekick Cech should have had punched away, Terry should also have done much better on it (and on the first goal cleared it better). Third goal was typical Pastore and caught the whole defense sleeping, but still even with that, Cech and his poor near post skills... Next season must be time for Courtois to get a proper chance.

Guess we will get some update on his situation soon. He said on Danish television : "In one or two weeks there will be a deal. Either Chelsea or Atletico, there will be a decision made in a week or two."

It's amazing how bad the crosses from every single chelsea player are. Ivan had a few truly woeful ones today. But it was a bad match all around, for all players. Matic threw away way too many balls in the middle by doing dumb stuff (like shooting directly into a wall of Crystal Palace players), the midfield let Crystal Palace players run directly at the defense way too many times, Azpilicueta was often alone with two players on the left back, making it impossible to not let them get through, Hazard missing big chances, Oscar imitating Bentekes performance from today by not hitting the ball... It was just terrible, add to that Torres being Torres and there's a disaster waiting to happen. The problem is that no gameplan seems to work, when getting behind against a team like this, that are physically strong and can stand deep. Credit to Pulis, he has done well there and their counter attacks were deadly if they didn't have complete incompetent forwards.

Highly doubt that. He signed a new contract and can now look forward to CL football, at the very least he will want to stay for a season and Liverpool wont accept anything but ridiculous bids.

Eh it's a good choice, I think De Gea has been great really. He has saved Uniteds ass way more times than they deserve, and haven't really messed up. He's easily the best performer of the league this season imo, I love Cech but he hasn't been quite as stable.

"We're not like Chelsea calling for the head of our managers".

I would feel for him if he wasn't on his way out at the first sign of some competition. He's now paying for having no back bone and willingness to adapt.

That 37mil bargain is really doing wonders.. lol

The thought of selling him itself is making me annoyed enough, let alone to fucking Spurs.

Eh people said the same when they destroyed Madrid, with a team that had fucking Dossena and such trash on it. I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to knock out a few good teams, especially as they will strengthen with a CL season in mind. Matching a team like Bayern though? Yeah, no one will really do that currently with a massive amount of luck and skill, but that doesn't mean they can't do well in CL.

Willian sending off was typical Foy bullshit. Ramires challenge was a disgrace though, idiot.

It does but... New owner with more money than brain, you never know. Palacio could very well be done for at Inter, too old and it's doubtful if Icardi will ever come real good. If there's anything I've learnt from Serie A it's that the teams can pretty much swap, loan and buy a whole new team every season if they please.

Please I know it's dailymail... But man, it's a too big dream to not hope for. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2576006/Inter-Milan-ready-end-Fernando-Torres-Chelsea-nightmare-20m-summer-swoop.html

Decent result all things considered. The ref was terrible, Melo should have been sent off about 3 times. Also Cech yet again didn't look too good, I think it really is time for Courtois now.
