It's a waste of time watching anything with Mourinho in it.

A very good piece on Conte this. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/apr/15/antonio-conte-chelsea-managerial-maestro

OH MY GOD, PIZY! STOP TRYING TO STEAL MY 'THE PESSIMIST ONE' MANTLE!!

Expected Spurs to win anyway but thanks for being rubbish, Bournemouth...

It's hardly secret but good read this... How Antonio Conte ripped up the Jose Mourinho blueprint at Chelsea

Eden Hazard and José Mourinho: anatomy of a rollercoaster relationship

Think Conte will be cautious but I doubt he'll take a more defensive approach on Sunday. United don't play the same way and scare teams like Liverpool do and can.

It's hardly earth shattering but Mourinho must be one of the very few managers, and he's supposed to be a top one, who actually doesn't improve players at his disposal. Looking at his career, it's hard to name players who's actually improved under him, mentally, tactically, technically etc (compare him to others like Conte, Guardiola, Pochettino, Klopp - managers who manage and actually coach players too). Like you said, he always somehow convinces people that his players aren't good enough and then go out to buy players who has been developed by others clubs, approaching their peak or at their peak and buy his way to success. He's just a man interested in success and not bothered about developing players to the max.

Indeed and there's quite a few notable Chelsea fans like him on Twitter that seem to think they're above the others.

And the United fans are pissed after drawing with Anderlecht. http://www.redcafe.net/threads/post-match-vs-anderlecht.428132/

Indeed, said the same thing last night and had Arsenal won, Palace wouldn't be safe from relegation just yet and they'll have motivation when they play Spurs. But now? They might not even bother when that game comes around.

That Arsenal game at the Lane will be a cakewalk for Spurs.

Stupid much, Jose? Loftus Cheek played a total of only 212 minutes (5 games) in all comps under Mourinho last year, compared to 336 minutes (10 games) under Conte. As for Zouma, of course he's played less than season. He only returned from an ACL injury in December! And with the team doing well with settled starting XI, why would Conte upset the balance? Would Mourinho have changed a settled starting XI that's performing well and brought Zouma back in? I highly doubt it!

Mostly likely in the games after next week. Doubt they'll do so against Bournemouth.

Not helping my nerves here...
