Only a reaction to so called fans wanting to sell our 2x POTY because Mourinho got sacked.

Dude, stop with the bs of "firing" some of the players. Do you even know how unintelligent that sounds?

You speak of passion for the club but Mourinho's claims of having passion for the club are more evident in words than they are in action. Is blaming the referees going to help the club given the horrible situation we're in? Shifting the blame towards everybody else? What about putting yourself above the club? Let's not forget the game against West Ham where the team needed a leader most and he got himself sent off.
Hazard has shown passion for the club on so many instances, one of them being the away game at Tottenham where he gave one of the best performances I've ever seen from a Chelsea player despite the fact we got thrashed.
Some need to realize Mourinho has created a toxic and volatile atmosphere within the club and as a player, you can only shine in the environment for so long.

Mourinho embarrasses the club week in week out whether it's through his tactics and team selection or his atrocious post-match interviews. He even goes to the extent of putting himself above the club: "If the club sack me, they have sacked the best manager they have ever had." What is the result? Jose Mourinho chants.
A player like Hazard who last season gave it his all in a system that prevented him from expressing his best abilities. Only after 4 months of poor form, people who barely know how to spell his name call him a rat without any type of concrete evidence that proves he had anything to do with all this.
The irony here is a disgrace. I'll give it to Mourinho though, he has managed to create a cult by brainwashing so many fans by making himself the victim and the players the rats. They ignore whatever he does and have a go at the players at the slightest chance.
The Manipulator One.

It's as if some people here are suffering from some weird form of Stockholm syndrome. Being exposed to cruel and horrible football and yet believing in these mind-manipulating phrases, bonding with a person who has destroyed one's joy in football, and completely submitting to a us-against-them mentality while completely abandoning reason, speaking in clichés, and spitting proofless myths.
The king is dead, long live the king.

United would be crazy if they get Mourinho. The man is not worth the trouble, and his best belongs to 5 or 6 years ago. If I was Mourinho I would leave Preamier League behind, specially if Guardiola is around next season, and perhaps Simeone. He will be fully exposed as a pretty outdated manager.
I really hope he gets the Red's job, that will be another reason to stay in front of them next season.

Oh boy, people really do swallow what the media shovels into the feeding through. I never read football 'news'; poor sources, indirect quotes, sensationalism, bias, convenient half-truths, and 'opinion' pieces. The football media and punditry is truly the bottom-of-the-barrel tripe that is hocked out to the lowest common denominator for page views and sales.
What I do like is watching pundits like Gary Neville discuss the actual games, non of the 'backroom' nonsense. I don't care about the backroom, I care about the game.

Ordinarily - I would be apopletic with rage.
But - the source is a friend of a dudes cat heard an owl whisper that a player said this!
Also it depends entirely when the comment was made - how many people make throw-away comments daily that they don't mean. It could have been immediately after a loss!
Yes - it's bad - but I don't mind a bit of honesty from the players. WE have been shit for a while and I would imagine Jose isn't a shining bundle of laughs on a good day, so things have probably been pretty shit for the players.
If the manager is free to throw people under the bus - he has to expect the sword cuts both ways.
MOURINHO is simply reaping what he himself has sown - and for that I have little sympathy.
He IS NOT fired yet - he could still change this situation around - but he won't - you know that and I know that - that's the most frustrating thing about this situation...
Grab the players in a room - you WANT attacking football - come on then show me how you would defeat 'opponent' - let the players do the talking, then he can use his tactical brain (which he does have in abundance - it's just stuck on ultra defence) - to pick holes and then between them come up with something more realistic. Then TRY IT!!!
There's literally nothing to lose at this point!
But I just know it won't happen and that's the biggest tradegy...

Yeah he's a cunt for saying we play shit unimaginative football?
Yeah he's a really big cunt for that ain't he. The TRUTH normally fucking hurts thats why most people don't like it
OUR FOOTBALL IS SHIT!!!
And he's right - sitting back against shit teams - is like having a Ferrari and not going past 3rd gear - ultimately it will fuck the engine up - sound familiar?
Mou is just a bellend - too micro management based. His abrasive personality eventually pisses everyone off

i remember a counter of him when willian and hazard played some 1-2s and then the ball came to costa. he just stopped running, let lucas and can get back, all momentim lost.
another incident in the first half when willian played a good ball to him, changing the flank. tried to do something stupid with it and the ball went for a goal kick. spent the next 5 minutes trying to show the ref that skrtel apparently hurt his tooth.
again, hopeleslly por in air, poor on the ball and off it. i mean, poor. nothing more to say.

Dude, that means absolutely nothing. Its just a simplistic way to win over people who are purely run by emotions. Mourinho's heart only beats for himself (no shit) and while I have no doubt that he likes CFC, I also have no doubt that he would leave us the moment a better opportunity came.

You still believe Jose's gospel I see, us vs the world mentality isn't it. Haha cannot believe you are even going to suggest conspiracy theories against TECHNOLOGY. Btw the technology isn't biased so even if the whole of the ball is 1mm over the line it will be given as a goal for or against us so I don't think you will be bringing that up ever unless technology stop working.

Thanks to Roman for the most part.

There's a fine line between Chelsea FC and Mourinho FC.
It's not that fans don't want to back Mourinho. We do but he's making it extremely difficult for people to do so with his actions.

Goodwill has to have a limit. Moruinho is damaging both the image of the club and its future.
We're 15th - let that sink in for a moment.
Think of all the football that has already been played this season and then look at where we sit in the table.
Enough is enough.

Mate, I will be loyal to someone who is loyal to my club. I will respect someone who shows respect to others. Who does not barge into the refs' room or try to bully the refs time and time again. Who respects players and treats them all equally instead of having a different set of rules for someone like cesc and a different set of rules forothers.

Something is rotten behind the scenes, but it's clear to see that he's the root of all our problems. His narcissistic tendencies have caught up with him and he's f**king the club over. The disgusting showings of his nauseating pride are subtle, yet ostentatious. Azpi at LB is so last year, he sacrificed two world class LBs in Cole and Filipe and the majority didn't bat an eye. What always sickened me was how much many Chelsea fans were loyal to his irrational ''innovative'' methods. He humiliated players like KdB, Schürrle, Mata, David Luiz by telling them in front of the whole world that they were not good enough, and now they're gone because of him. I never believed in that stupid BS of Mata not being fit for our team. I really hate him, f**k his past glory with us.
I'm not naive to believe that things are gonna get better, and by that, I would be numb to defeats against Stoke & Liverpool, but I would pop a champagne if he gets fired, knowing tht he's gone far away from the club and never having to do anything with the club anymore. How some people can even defend what he did to Eva is despicable. She didn't deserve it against this egomaniac turd. Him standing in the dugout insulting her while she was earnestly doing her job was so classless and a clear sign of his vile shadow self.

Appoint this man until the end of the season. After that, it's all up to the board.
What people need to realize here is that we do not need to have a Sir Alex sort of manager who is going to manage us for two and a half decades. We need identity.
The board has to decide which direction does the club want to go. The us vs world mentality and the conservative Football? Then they should appoint the likes of Simeone and after him managers who can incorporate the same style of Football.
A team with a calm atmosphere that plays good Football? Then go for Carlo as a short-term option, no more. Then you proceed with managers who can follow that identity.
Our problems in the past decade haven't been the consistent act of sacking managers. It is hiring managers that have nothing to do with each other. We're constantly on a roller coaster. That's not where we should be going. It means we shouldn't go for Pep Guardiola and after him turn to Diego Simeone. Those two are hugely contrasting in coaching styles.
The club has to build a footballing identity.

Chelsea should consider not scoring while Torres is suspended, don't wanna hurt his confidenc.

Neil Barnet: 'Some experts on TV said Oscar, Mata and Hazard wouldn't be able to play together.'
Fernando Torres: 'They're not experts.'

Lmao i knew thisd thread will be hot again. You guys are pathetic, really, really sad. He was on the pitch for about 20 minutes has had a few opportunities to score, he got the opportunities because he made great runs and his movement was good. The first one, Buffon stayed up and didn't sell himself, was good goalkeeping. The occasion when he wanted to pass back, he didn't do much wrong but the movement from the other guy was shit and gave him only that pass to play. Was never gonna get through and the 3rd occasion Buffon came out, the chip was just very unlucky. If he had played the whole game, he woulda had more chances and probably scored. Can't believe this thread get all active because he missed a chance. Unbelievable. He did a lot in those 20 minutes.

I wonder whether he can come back on loan for a few months, like Henry did... if we're playing Arsenal or Barca in knockout cup...

I edited my post heavily in meanwhile. I agree and don't agree that he is the greatest.. I just refuse to rank them in order, as it would disrespect the lower placed players, but in truth I don't feel any of them were less important than the other and I feel affection for all of them. They always complimented each other and said they couldn't have done it without them, so it's only natural to carve the whole group as "the best" ever.
Also Dids and Lamps perfected one another so well, they truly were the perfect partnership. If I'm going to name Drogba as the greatest, then I will take Lampsy up with him. In words of Term X, he is a phenomenon and so is Lampard.
About JT. He's an exceptional player 'cause he's the only one who is from youth academy. He's Chelsea since little boy. Him and Lampard were in the club when we weren't exactly in the bestest of positions. Drogba would never have come here if it wasn't for Roman's money and Mourinho, at first he was even disgusted for joining us. In that sense, Lampard's and Terry's roots extend longer and deeper. JT and Cech also almost literally died for the team, had it happened we'd be singing a different song. But in terms of gaming impact, Drogba is right up there with them and generally he's a big human being with his philanthropy.
