Yeah I'm sure Jose will convince him that he is going to be an "important part of the team" next year. Then be shipped in January. Don't think he is the kind of person to stay just because he likes London culinary, rain, Big Ben or whatever.

Our team is full of false players. Maybe we are looking to invent new positions? Ivanovic is a false-back, Willian is a false-winger, Azpi is a false-leftback, Oscar is a false-ten, Cahill is just false. We are often branded the most complete team, but a team full of so many false positives can't be very complete.

After the PSG game Carragher made an interesting point imo, even though he got an avalanche of shit at him from us and Mourinho. He said that he had seen Mourinho teams being outplayed plenty of times, this is something we all have seen and know why it happens, but he also added that he didn't remember the last time a Mourinho team was straight-up outmuscled and bullied, and I agree. There were literally no redeeming qualities in the PSG game and 1st half against Soton, we were not only outplayed but outfought.

You are lucky to see that line-up once a season in a League Cup game against a semi-pro or amateur side if we draw one. Either Ivanovic or Azpilicueta leaves, or Filipe goes. He has no business rotting on the bench here unfortunately. Judging by last season and this season, Bran and Azpi will be our untouchable full-backs for years to come. We better get used to it.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes he is “special” because he is able to rise above all the criticism he receives, but is concerned that the media spending too much time talking about him. "I think people worry about me too much, (more) than they should. They don't know what my happiness is,"he told ESPN. Mourinho went onto explain what exactly makes him happy and also revealed why he considers himself as a “special” manager. "My happiness first of all is when I compare myself with the others, I see just a few that are with me in terms of success and the others I see a huge difference, a huge distance," he explained. "I have lots of respect for all of them, but in the Premier League, who is European champion? Me and (Manchester United boss Louis) van Gaal. "In the Premier League how many won the Premier League twice or more than twice? [Arsenal boss Arsene] Wenger and myself. "How many won every competition in this country? Community Shield, (League) Cup, FA Cup, Premier League? How many? "You go to Europe, how many won seven league titles? How many won two Champions Leagues? Ancelotti won three. Van Gaal, two. And Pep (Guardiola, the Bayern Munich boss), two. "I'm not content with that, but you are too much worried about myself. "What makes me feel special is that I am above all of this. You think I care about some bullsh*t I read? Do you think I care? I don't care. I don't care." Chelsea failed to beat Southampton on Sunday at Stamford Bridge but still lead Manchester City by six points with one game in hand in the Premier League.

He needs to get his shit together, because like some players, he seems to be out of form as well.

JT why couldn't you sink that double chance you had from the corner His face looked sad as hell after that.

Okay so what do you think had suddenly changed since December that we look like squeaking on the pitch? Compared to the "best team in europe" that we were before.

It is. Nobody can convince me that Oscar and Fabregas have become shadows of themselves because they have suddenly lost their quality. I don't think so, they are simply too weak to be on the pitch both at the same time. It should be either one or the other, or get bullied. Though I must agree second half so far is an improvement in terms of intensity.

It's gone on long enough now to say with certainty, that our ongoing awful performances are a result of our players not being up to it fitness wise. December took most of our steam and we are running on fumes now. Hope to fuck we grind out a goal today and pray to Courtois that we don't concede.

Matic you asshole calm the fuck down

Well this is what Mourinho calls "complex biomechanical training" or smth like that.

We have 11 games to play, 2 games in hand over City, and we are leading by 5 pts. We can afford to lose three times and draw once in worst case scenario for it to go to goal difference. I can't help but be really confident right now.

Have noticed this slight design glitch a long time ago, never bothered to report it though.... until now! Click on spoiler if you dare

Can somebody kindly link to the full presser so I can watch it when I get home from work? Thanks

We lost on an away goal, nothing else separated us. Ivanovic lost Luiz for the first goal, Silva scored a monstrous unsaveable header for the second and I think it was JT who should have done better. I can understand all the philosophical discussions over Mourinho's approach, but yesterday's elimination is hard to blame on him.

Chelsea’s Diego Costa reveals he turned down move to Liverpool HE HATES SCUM

It would be interesting to compare those stats to one of his peak seasons (2004-2009). Is it possible?

Somebody needs to remind them that they should be worried about their 2nd place, because they're closer to 3rd than us. And if we win our game in hand we'll be out of reach in comparison.

Southampton because they are underdogs and in general a likeable team. Arsenal because then they will hopefully keep hold of Wenger + they have become almost irrelevant to me. Liverpool can go down the Leeds road for all I care. Care too little about Spurs to wish them ill or well, they will always be a small mosquito buzzing at night in bedroom until it gets inevitably squashed. I also enjoy seeing United squirm in chaos and uncertainty, long may that continue.

That's what I'äm talking about. Lose the black-white stripes on sleeves and let the three white stripes run all the way down, and we're good to go.

I doubt Adidas ever considered using this shirt even with TA. Aliexpress sold it before anything was official, it was probably mocked up in some random sweatshop to con football fans and they used some old ass template. Our shirt has the potential to look bloody awesome with Yokohama, surely adidas and the club can see that. The ones you showed look like pure crap, even the wrong colour imo.

Those look so bad that no way a professional company, let alone a pioneer in its field, could have designed it.

But do you realistically think that De Gea as second keeper could happen/work?
