http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1589370/theo-walcott-suffers-further-injury-setback?cc=4716 Walcott to miss this clash next Tuesday.

He trained today. We should know more in Mourinho's press conference later.

Blimey. Look at those ratings' description.

Scroll up? What is that?

As TOPTB has alluded to, I'm not sure if Azpilicueta's crossing is better than Ivanovic's, maybe marginally better but not much. Having said that, I do agree with the notion that Azpi is a much better RB than Ivanovic is. If anything, the latter is generally good defensively as FB like Cole on the other side BUT Azpi can match that, if not better it, and provide a much progressive attacking play than Ivanovic. As seen quite a lot of times last season, Azpi moves the ball quicker, links up better with the wide players in front (similar to Bertrand and Hazard for instance on the left flank) and certainly has more variation in his attacking play than Ivanovic. And not to mention, Azpi certainly gets to the byline more often and has a left foot to work with if can't do anything with the right!

Only a 20-second long interview..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRILvQ3d05Q

Wasn't actually Spurs were close to signing him before we came in and snatched him away at the last minute?

But you can always watch it when someone uploads the video on Youtube later on.

Schalke's European home record vs English teams - W3 D2 L2. They won the first three but have failed to win since then. There's no live coverage of the press conference in Europe. Can only get updates through Twitter, live blogs etc..

I'm sorry but Pique is really good?! He's an average CB that often makes mistakes but only got talked up because he played for United and is at Barcelona.

José Mourinho's Chelsea touchline tantrum may lead to warning from FA

Think Azpi will play against Arsenal. Ivanovic will play against City next Sunday and it's impossible that Mourinho will play him again just 2 days later at the Emirates.

He did? In which game(s)??

Bertrand on Mourinho's sending off yesterday.. Bertrand and Co are inspired by Mourinho passion play once again

THIS!!!

Knew that was coming. Jokes getting lame Choo Choo and doesn't change the fact that Juventus threw away a 2-0 lead and lost 4-2 and are 5 points behind Roma.

Agree and if we can beat City next Sunday, then it will keep our current winning run and momentum going especially when we have 1-2 tricky away league games in Newcastle and West Ham next month (along with a cold day at the Britannia in December ).

Just hope and pray that we don't suffer from our annual winter slump...

Crazy indeed... I don't think Mourinho is gonna forego the Champions League in any way and it would an embarrassment if we crash out of the group stage, again, for the second straight season especially when we are in an easier group this time around.

Choo Choo can justify all he wants but the fact is and regardless of Juve's dominance, his Juve collapsed in that 15 minutes and lost the game 4-2. And they are now 5 points behind Roma..
