John Terry is happy again at Chelsea, says José Mourinho

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/12/john-terry-chelsea-jose-mourinho Didn't know he's operating without an agent right now..

*bump*

Every now and then, we get 'FIFA agents' coming out and say things like this, which is complete BS most of the time, if not all.

Which is why it's probably he quit football altogether, unless he's willing to play in the lower leagues... On another note, AC Milan play Napoli tomorrow and I'm hoping, for the fun of it, Torres scores the winner against them. Benitez's reaction would probably be funny.

FIFA agent?

Those Mickey Mouse websites have linked Torres with Liverpool.

From my understanding, no. Instead, it will benefit another team from another association/country based on the UEFA country coefficients. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_UEFA_Champions_League#Distribution

It won't. What's the point of trying something different if he can't even get the basics right?

No. It just means England, in this case, will have 5 teams in the Champions League next season. http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2137611.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2329601/Europa-League-winners-given-Champions-League-place-UEFA.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2778224/Boost-Tottenham-Everton-UEFA-confirm-FIVE-Premier-League-clubs-feature-Champions-League.html

Gotta like how people think Torres can cut it as a winger just because of a few (FEW!) moments like the one you mentioned there. He may be able to run past people or even put in decent crosses from time to time but doesn't mean he'll be successful as a wide player and not to mention, it takes a lot more than that to flourish on the flanks. The fact of the matter is, he's just a washed up footballer, who doesn't seem to have the brain to even get the basics right.

No kidding. Now that they can't ask him questions about going the season unbeaten anymore, they asked him if we could do the quadruple this campaign.

Guess when you said Basel were the first team to beat Mourinho at the Bridge, you meant the first home defeat last season, right? They beat us twice because (1) we weren't even in any kind of form when we played them at home and (2) the defeat at Basel was, partly, due to Mourinho's negative approach. Couldn't believe how insipid and negative we were that night - we had Ramires on the RW for goodness sake! Made Basel look like Barcelona. Yes, I know Basel are a bogey side for English teams and they have a good squad but think people are being overly paranoid and overestimating them. Of the English teams to have played them in recent years, we have the best record against them. No offence but that's rather ignorant if you are just judging a team based on results.

Anything wrong with that?

English Premier League to play on Friday nights From 2016/17 season onwards...

NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

Cannot believe one of the journalists asked Mourinho an extremely moronic question - asked if we have gained that aura that puts fear into opponents at the Bridge like United do at Old Trafford. :doh: Clearly, he has been living in the cave for the past 10 years!

+ he also said no one from Milan has contacted him. So, screw those Mickey Mouse websites!

Notice a trend here? Luiz and PSG to come in last 16??

http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/12/date-set-for-watford-fa-cup-tie.html We'll be playing Watford on January 4, three days after facing Spurs at the Lane.

That may be true but no thanks. He's not worth the trouble. Wouldn't want a miserable, sulking and useless bitch(!) at the club and disrupt the (perfect) harmony within the squad right now.

The funny thing about this story is that Daily Mail isn't even reporting it.

So what? The Sporting Lisbon game was effectively a dead rubber and it was a chance for Mourinho to rest key players and play the fringe/youngsters but he didn't. Had someone like Matic or Fabregas picked up an injury on Wednesday, Mourinho would have had a lot to answer for. He's been saying that we have a lot of games coming up over the Christmas/New Year period (for the record, we'll have 5 games in 14 days!) and it will be tough but yet, he's like trying to flog them to death. Should be giving them as much rest as possible now given there's an opportunity. The tiredness/fatigue would eventually accumulate and it won't be a surprise if someone suffers a burnt-out next month.

Costa may not have scored in the last few matches but I'm not even concerned, not yet anyway I guess. Like I said before, it's normal for strikers to suffer some small goal drought after starting brightly at the start of the season. Besides, we have seen worse goal drought than this with that Flop-res blondie, haven't we? Nothing to panic about, especially when Costa is still at least contributing to the team in other ways.
