Ooh and lasses

Nah chin up lads - we can win this

Milner is annoying glad he's gone 90th minute winner

The problems are many at the moment - we all know Jose likes a small squad - but with so many players struggling he's having to play more people. Zouma is not a RB and this will hurt us - he doesn't have the instinct to overlap and offer width in attacking play. Nobody can question his heart or desire though. I know you don't rate Baba - but I would have preferred him on the left and Dave on the right. It will help us generate more width and allow us to attack as a team - rather than expecting miracles from the front three. IMHO if Mou would have used Luis properly last year he would still be here and we wouldn't be having this problem right now - again, it just highlights Mou's inability to see the bigger picture. He's great at the micro management level but very poor on foresight. Oh well - the die is cast now - let's see what today and Lady Luck brings

Never let facts spoil a love story

At least you can eat the eggs

Yet another story about the 'dressing room not being lost' There seems to be a lot of those recently Maybe they doth protesteth too much... Losing the dressing room would certainly account for some of the poor form. It's probably not irrecoverable - if anybody could recover it - chances are it would be Mourinho. He just needs to find something else to focus their anger on - instead of him. Liverpool could be that catalyst

Yes and other gold digging women are also partly to blame. As uncouth as it sounds - those cry Wolf women - really do ruin it. Rape is a very serious thing and I have seen firsthand how it affects someone for the rest of their lives (ex-gf) - she like many others didn't press charges for many reasons - mainly fear. So when I have seen it and been through the emotional roller-coaster with a person I love - to hear of women deliberately claiming 'rape' against 'rich' people for a payday makes my blood boil. If he's guilty - he should hit prison If she's lying - she should hit prison

That's why it's called a 'forum' you express ideas. I was Jose's biggest defender last season and defended him against people saying we play shit football - my reasoning was that he needed the PL title to get the monkey of Madrid off his back and then unleash us into an unstoppable force. Sadly my hopes and dreams, as so often in life have disappeared like a fart in the wind. So with some healthy balance of perspective (because I took on the negativity surrounding our play, lack of rotation etc) I started this season with plenty of hope, but my eyes firmly open. What has happened thus far is way above my worst case scenario - but shit happens. I think Jose is a good manager for a couple of seasons. I don't believe he can sustain his management style for longer. The craziness is strong in him at the moment - maybe the extra stress of his Dad has pushed him too far? Who knows? However - he is an employee of Chelsea - the team I support - through thick and thin. Nobody enjoys our current predicament - despite the churlish comments pertaining to this. The need to vocalise frustrations stems from hurt and annoyance (sure @Stingray can eloquently cover this part) But to blindly state 'in Jose we trust' without accepting any modicum of the fair, levelled criticism - is just frankly delusional. The cracks are clear to see. The situation does not look as simple to resolve, the same tired excuses are rolled out week by week, until they form a mantra. Am I happy to apologise to each and every one on this forum if we go on an unstoppable run and pick up a CL place and even a trophy - HELL YES - because you see for me it's a no lose situation - if Jose recovers and does well - Chelsea benefit. I don't mind apologising for being wrong - you won't find me blaming other people. But until I DO need to apologise - I shall be vocal (unless banned) against what I see as the unnecessary implosion of MY football club, due to one man and his EGO. Happy Halloween ?

Mate that is TORRES - he was actually aiming for the boot

Kut men Peren ? Pussy with pears? Not sure what pattetekop is - shithead?

I think our November curse has switched - we will now probably win ALL games in November and then be utter shite and inconsistent for the other months Does Yokohama mean 'play like shit' in Japanese? We need 'Samsung' back and fast...

I would say that the emphasis on defence rather than attack fucks them up a bit. You sign attacking players, because of their attacking strengths - not their defensive efforts. It's kinda like buying a Ferrari then only using it to drive to the shop 100m away - ultimately pointless and something a moped could have done better... Just hope we have spent the last few days watching games from the start of last season and remembering that attacking football can also win matches

Yeah but no wingers seem to do well for us - it's weird - they are good, come here and are shit. I think the lack of attacking full backs doesn't help - or maybe they focus on defending too much? Either way - we soon ruin em

Lol ? yeah definitely not Mou's fault Maybe you could apply for a job writing his press conferences?

No worries - I'm just proper anti-mou at the min! I have no doubt that our team motivated and playing well would be nearer the top of the table and that's what I cannot accept

Just wow! Well I guess this forum should be changed to Talkmourinho - as that's all people are bothered about supporting. Chelsea existed long before and will exist long after. Call me unstable, call me whatever you want - but I support Chelsea. I have seen through our Manager - if you haven't, well, some people are slower than others in life right... The guy is NOT Chelsea, has never been Chelsea - the guy is only ever about Mourinho. And yes - Pep is the same and a load of other managers - difference is they don't pretend otherwise to manipulate the fickle gullible fans. He needs to go - nothing will improve if he stays and we will end up in a worse position the longer he is here. Shit football, shit transfers and continual public spats with the FA, Press and anybody else he can blame losing on...

OMG people are still defending Jose's youth integration My God it's indefensible - HE DOES NOT INTEGRATE YOUTH The guy is just full of shit As for stability - yeah stable at the bottom of the table - no thanks!!! He is NOT a long term manager a two season wonder and then get rid of him. He cannot build a legacy - he's not a good enough manager, short termist approach only. Get rid ASAP

Just get him out We're 15th in the table - playing atrocious football The January transfer thread is hilarious - what player in their right fucking mind would come here with no CL football and to play for a team as shit as ours currently is. The manager is losing the plot every 5 minutes People need to wake up and smell the coffee - all this romantic bollocks that Jose is one of us blah blah is reserved exclusively for children's magazines - it counts for fuck all on the pitch His refusal to integrate youth is yet another continual problem. You might all be happy to sit around whilsy this guy destroys our club - because he's the special one - but I'm not - I want him gone now and literally any half decent manager to come in and take over as an interim I don't give a fuck if it costs £30 million to kick him out - that's cheap compared to the long term damage History has happened - he did well - but football is volatile like the stock market - past performance is no indication of future performance and he has run his course. We are an absolute laughing stock

And what players will want to come if we have no Champions League? We're 15th in the table and not looking like moving up any time soon. Our chance to sign these players was in the summer - now it's gone It's good we need to rely on our Youth players now until such time as we can move into CL position. I don't think people are fully comprehending our current situation!

Azpi? Is the only other player IMHO

Amen - to be fair he's a relocated Scouser and he's not too bad - normally! But Wife training is nearly as frustrating as watching Chelsea - one day I will crack it

I don't remember seeing UTD in 15th? And I do remember a lot more success from Fergie prior to that The problem I have is that Jose appears so outdated - like football has moved on and he's stood still saying 'this used to work' Then his arrogance to blame everything except himself - how does that work I honestly believe he doesn't give a fuck about anything except himself and those of you that believe he is Chelsea through and through have been sold a lie

Now that would get my Halloween ? party started all right - especially with some scousers being invited (missus did that before you blame me!)
