They will miss

Begovic will stop at least one - trust #!! Believe

Begovic to save

Come on let's win on pens

I reckon Begovic will save at least one pen

Is it Extra Time then?

Well sadly history only cares about the actual goals scored - not how close or deserving our play was I just can't see him surviving this

1-0 to Stoke doesn't seem to bear that out! I know you love Mou - but seriously

Wow Mourinho - has lost the plot Sorry but he has to go - needs to resign

Is stream only thing available in UK?

Fuck that more like Left Back (in the dressing room)!!!!

I can just about stomach the shit football if we are winning - but it makes me sad inside. Now we are losing/drawing I cannot stand the football we play - it just lacks everything. If he could change (he can't) then I genuinely believe he has a shot at keeping his job. Let's be clear here - the only person responsible for the sacking (inevitable IMHO) of Mourinho is MOURINHO himself! The board have shown unprecedented levels of support - Jose is the one self destructing here - and in a way, it would probably be best if the Board done the decent thing and put him out of his misery - at least that way the Jose fanboys can still pretend he's the best manager in the world - rather than witness his ultimate demise as the season unfolds. As much as he annoys me - I'd rather he leave sooner rather than later. I guess the lineup tonight will give us some indications of what he is thinking.

A miracle before Xmas ?

Internet psychologist - as a large percentage of communication is non verbal or written - right :)

Joining is a time consuming process apparently

Guys - I respect you both so much - please don't get into a childish fight over this - it's not worth it

He needs to stay in the box and we need to play him in - not hit it up front and hope he does something. Feeding him scraps isn't going to cut it

For me it's because our manager is too arrogant and refusing to accept any blame, coupled with outdated tactics and a lack of rotation and youth integration, along with plenty of controversy on/off the pitch All of that takes its toll. It seems like the players no longer enjoy playing under Mou - rightly or wrongly - you need the players to want it. I have no doubt that an 'average' manager can get us winning again very quickly. It is a sad time - but Mou has brought this on himself - I honestly do believe that. Yes Matic was stupid to get sent off - but let's look at that situation, he was publicly condemned - had a good game and felt under pressure to perform - so he tried too hard and got sent off. Thats an example of Jose's mind games backfiring. I just wouldn't want to work with a manager like him - ever.

Nothing is ever 'not possible' with the bloody FA All ex UTD, Arsenal, Spuds etc - they love nothing more than fucking us over That's why Mou infuriates me so much - never give these fuckers ammunition - they always find the target They have already given him a suspended punishment this season - now they will be free to throw the book at him. It kills me knowing they are rubbing their hands together about this and 'we' let it happen

Let's not believe the lazy journos I think if Mou was gonna be gone - it would have happened already. Unless the club are waiting to see what the FA say. If Mou gets a stadium ban - I could well see a case for breach of contract, as he is not able to fulfil his managerial obligations - through disciplinary action It's like you work for a company, but get put on curfew - you can't go to work - so your employer terminates your employment for breach. You are not entitled to any recompense - except for any work already accrued. The same situation could (and probably should) be applied to Mourinho. Big call though for the club. Would be better if Mou just resigns. Such a shit situation all round - we have turned into the McLaren of Football

Dude - don't be hard on yourself. It's an admirable quality to remain loyal. I did for ages until something snapped inside me and I could no longer take it. It seems you are still a while away from this. What you describe is what I believe 99.99% of people feel when describing Mourinho - and there's some of us who believe it's time to change and others that hope Mou will change. I just hate to see somebody who should be held in the highest esteem by Chelsea and fans, slowly falling apart in public. Just how much further is he going to sink and the club with it? I said it a while ago - maybe a sabbatical would help him right now to regain focus - maybe a lengthy ban by the FA might just be that avenue.

I really don't think the club will let him go this side of December. Conceivably - they could give him one more window in the transfer market and then judge him at the end of the season. I guess the tricky part is who do you replace him with? I know the players have been shit - but I think he has caused that with his tantrums - players know one bad game and they are beaten up in the press and possibly dropped and sold. It's not a great environment and for all of Ferries faults - I don't remember a team ever under-performing like this. He seemed to be able to strike the right balance between putting the refs under pressure and not being charged, being a disciplinarian and not de-motivating the players I honestly believe Jose's demeanour and attitude is causing most of the problems. Maybe the Eva thing was more divisive in the club than first thought? Perhaps the players lost respect for Jose - it's hard to repair respect - much like trust. If the players are using player power to get rid of him - that is very poor from them!

Honestly - I don't think anybody can be happy at our position If I felt that people were deliberately happy that we were failing - I would call them out But these are posters I have read over 4 years + We have had good times and bad times but I have never questioned their loyalty to the team. I wish with every molecule - that Jose would do the simple things right and change his approach - but he is not and does not look like doing it - he's getting worse. That is the reason I don't want him here. Not because I hate Chelsea - but because I'm sick and tired of hearing about him! Chelsea is bigger than him. If he's not 'man' enough or doesn't have big enough 'balls' to change - then he's not the person I thought he was. It's like splitting up with your girlfriend - you suddenly realise that in the cold hard light of day - they are actually fucking idiots.

Mate - so what you are saying is Jose needs to manage like a different manager Isn't that what most of us are saying? But guess what he will not. That's the simple answer Hence me saying if Jose won't change - then he needs to be changed As soon as Zouma was announced as RB I knew today would be a clusterfuck and I decided to spend my well earned weekend doing something to make me happy - that used to be watching Chelsea on any stream I could get, but not today. I'm sick and tired of the ridiculous tactics and failure to address glaring issues that even Stevie fucking Wonder can see...
