Top four is gone, we have a battle for the top six.

I don't think it's hyperbole - at the minute, I genuinely can't see us winning the EL, have to be honest, mate!

As far as I'm aware, yep.

I'd rather have gotten Sparta Prague, Rubin Kazan, S. Bucharest and Basel than any of those five. True. Can't believe we're even talking about this

Nevermind the result, the way the players perform will be the biggest indicator of what's going on behind the scenes.

You're assuming we'd even get that far. We were lucky that we drew shit teams in each round up to the final in 2013.

That isn't what I'm saying, and they do have an obligation to the manager as they are part of his backroom staff. Eva didn't understand the game situation. By going onto the pitch to give treatment, it meant we'd be reduced to nine men. She misread the game situation. There is a difference to being aware of anaphylactic shock, cardic failure, etc., and realising someone has gone down to con the referee into giving a cheap free-kick.

And now we're calling the players "cunts" as well. What a time to be alive.

She doesn't seem to realise that football is a business. Bayern's doctor of 40 years was sacked by Pep and took it with good grace. Have we heard Jon Fearn pipe up at all? Nope. Eva rhymes with diva, afterall. She has a right to complain for her demotion but Mourinho totally has a point: there is a game situation which physios must be aware of.

Just like Victor Moses in 2014 :blue scalf:

By league record alone he is more qualified to do so than Ancelotti, so at this moment in time, I wouldn't swap for an inferior manager.

No improvement in three and a half years. Sorry José, you got this one wrong.

Whatever the question is, Ancelotti is not the answer.

When you have dissident players, it is easier to fire one person than to sell and replace an entire squad. Hence why player power is so prevalent in the bigger clubs on the European circuit. I don't believe Mourinho is an angel, make no mistake, but he, and certainly not us, the fans, deserves better from the players. It is clear, for whatever reason, that they don't want to play for him. Well, in that case, perhaps it would be prudent to remind them they're not playing for Mourinho. They're playing for the 41,000 packed into Stamford Bridge, and the millions more around the world that crowd around radios and watch abysmal-quality illegal streams online. We're the ones being let down and it is about time that a senior player - Terry, I'm looking at you - takes control and takes some responsibility. This is not just Mourinho's fault.

Very hard to do as we'd need to do up to 14 polls....

I don't think Aké will be a "revelation" as until a couple of weeks ago he wasn't even starting for Watford. The last two/three games, he has been good and it's good to see him taking a chance.

Not saying that at all. Don't be so defensive. The point I made is that there is some truth in that supposedly "funny" picture - he hasn't even been as good as his brother has this season, and that worries me.

The boy was class. Last season. This year - not good enough. There is truth and nothing but truth in that.

United were in an identical position and decided not to sack Sir Alex Ferguson. I hope we follow suit.

You don't need to find it funny, but the truth rings all the same. He's been very poor this season. He's just lucky moreorless everyone else has, too.

He has two options: 1) pull his finger out and work for the shirt 2) put in a transfer request and fuck off elsewhere. Sick of him being given a free pass. Just as, or even more, culpable than Ivanovic or Fabregas this season.

I'm struggling to post any objective comment at the minute so I'll share these thoughts briefly: Nobody except Willian, Azpilicueta and Ramires even give a toss. Apart from those three, none of them are fit to wear the shirt. We deserved to lose. Liverpool were nothing special; we were very poor.We have absolutely no luck. Two deflections and a goal scored after added time elapsed? Mignolet turning into Superman to save Oscar's shot. You can't legislate for that.José won't be here on Monday, which I have mixed thoughts about. I think it's time for a change. Fuck em all. Love Chelsea. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I honestly have no words.
