Seriously guys, stop derailing the thread any further with all this pathetic bickering, petty and trivial argument. Continue doing so will result in those involved getting punished. If you don't like what others are saying, just put them in your ignore list or ignore them altogether completely! All this nonsensical verbal war will get you guys nowhere!

Very surreal watching that Mourinho interview on Chelsea TV. He's back for real! Just referred us 'we we we' all the way. He's one of us! Was good to hear Jose saying he wants stability in his career, a different project and developing the young players here. Unless something goes horribly wrong, hope Roman doesn't press the panic button when something goes wrong. Need stability right now!

Concerning Schurrle...

Kudos to WHS for 'breaking' this news ages now.

Don't need two threads that serve the same purpose, do we? We all know what's going on.

Was that really your reaction? So subtle..

BEST MOMENT EVER SINCE MUNICH!!! :getin: :getin:

http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3199099/title/mourinho-appointed HE'S BACK!!!!

That I think is the Madrid's security chief. Mourinho has done something similar before to him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsdu-K7rKWE

And probably Van Persie as well..

Not necessarily. His system was about getting the best out of Torres (and Gerrard for that matter if you like) by playing quick and direct passes into space for him. Doesn't always play in counter attacking mode.

That was just a counter attacking approach setup for that game alone, regardless of the formation used. And Benitez isn't known to be a counter attacking manager.

So, Jose himself has confirmed he will be returning. That has certainly destroyed all the fun, if it hasn't already. And don't think when he said 'return by end of the week' will make most people here happy. Few more days to suffer for those impatient ones.

If anything, Luiz will be a starter at CB and that means we have to get a new CB to partner with him. Terry isn't getting any younger and I doubt he's suited to play Mourinho's aggressive approach. Cahill is a tad error prone and same goes with Ivanovic (also need at RB with Azpi).

With Benitez at the helm, think we can stop associating Napoli with counter attacks. They certainly aren't going to play the same way they did under Walter Mazzarri.

3 more days to wait if you believe the Telegraph. The furore till then will be unbereable!

Asking Alex for a like is like asking for a ban.

I'm the mod. I don't care.

Not sure how true but...

I'm sorry. Wembley is better.
