Why are you taking this seriously? My post was also a joke.

Bosingwa I'll give to you but you call seven years 'starting well'?

Just for the future reference it was Bridge's ex-girlfriend.

You seem unaware of the irony in this post. Bravo, Henrique. I see you've decided to ignore the entire dialogue between the staff and users concerning taking digs at people and unnecessary bickering.

Get Rodgers in la. He is proper Chels.

They are silly if they think they can get Klopp. He is on holiday.

And yet...he spent over €130,000,000 this season and another €100,000,000 the season before. I suggest you actually look things up before talking out your arse. The league win of 13/14 was an anomaly. http://www.transfermarkt.com/atletico-madrid/transfers/verein/13/saison_id/2015

@Gilvorak,Another note should be made about that Arsenal team 97-98 - Winner 98-99 - Lost by 1 point 01-02 - Winner 02-03 - Lost by 5 points 03-04 - Winner 04-05 - Lost by 12 points Aside from the 04-05 season, they could have very easily gone back to back. That is just hypotheticals though, they didn't at the end of the day. Just perspective. But isn't just about counter-atacking. That is just one facet of play. All those teams can counter-attack and will score a goal from few passes, but they can retain possession when necessary. This Chelsea team looks limp in attack, especially on the counter. I'm not saying that the entirety of the game should be countering but it is something that is needed. Being able to punish teams quickly from a single error is vital. Being flexible is the most important thing, I believe. Also, it should be appreciated that the Bayern team that dominated their way through the 12-13 season under Heynckes played counter football.

They were up against an equally strong United team and Italy, Germany Spain in the 90s. United were a counter-attacking team, they won several back to back titles.

Wenger's approach to the game changed. I think he foresaw a change in football with the 4-4-2 dying out, especially since Mourinho came in and destroyed the league. He adapted but it wasn't that successful. His team played amazing football at times but lacked the extra funds to push him teams to the limit. If the new stadium wasn't built and the funds were given to the first team, I fully believe that with the youth Wenger had, he would have built a dynasty with some of the extra players he could have brought in. Now. Chelsea is in this same boat as Wenger and Arsenal in 2004. Mourinho tactics from that time have passed and are now a relic of that era. He needs to adapt to the changing environment. Football comes in cycles, when the 4-4-2 went out, defensive tactics came in. When the defensive mindset went out, tiki-taka replaced it. Now that tiki-taka is dying a new style is coming back in. It almost seems the old 4-4-2 is coming back into vogue.

TBH (to be honest) the players I don't particularly care for are: Ivanovic Mikel Ramires Falcao Remy Wilian That is just me though. On another personal note, the type of approach to the game I like is the approach made by Arsenal from about 98-03. Win the ball, pass up the field the in three or four passes, shoot. Some of you may remember Henry stating that the moment Viera (or anyone) won the ball, they would immediately think of how they can get the ball up to an attacking player, wether it be Anelka, Henry, Pires or Ljungberg. There was no ball retention nonsense, they attacked the moment they had possession. No player takes responsibility in this team, they are passive jackasses. That is just the style I like. Kinda like how West Ham play right now (yes that bloody team).

Technically speaking, isn't this his second chance? Considering he has been sacked before.

I can't do anything about them. I'm not an admin. You have to take that up with either; Alex or Jason. They are two leaders here. I'm am just moderator, I have no authority over other moderators or administrators.

It should be noted that every member is allowed an opinion. Whether it be that they want Jose Mourinho to be sacked or if they want him to stay. Both opinions are allowed for this is an open forum. What isn't allowed is insulting people, claims of 'glory-hunter', petty bickering and just plain nonsense. Most of you are adults, accept the fact other people think differently and learn from the point of view. There isn't always a need to challenge someone's opinion. They will change their mind if you can offer a thoughtful and polite point of view on any matter, which many of you do but others do not. We the staff have reiterated this point of view so many times. Why do you need to be constantly reminded?

This is what I posted in the match thread and it is honestly how I feel: At the end of the day it doesn't bother me. I just like watching the team play, whether it is a loss or a win; I'll watch it because Chelsea is the team I support. When a team is down, the next win is always sweeter

Chelsea blown the fuck out by the saviours of football. Be right back, buying Soton season ticket.

You better not delete my post about vaca frita, you bastard.

People that are boycotting the game tomorrow because of Ivanovic clearly don't remember a player named: 'Fernando Torres'.

Co-ownerships for the most part, don't exist anymore.

Because you a fucking hobbit.
