The Mak

Screw the players, Laurent Blanc is one of the worst top flight coaches in the world. Unbelieve how that man is in the job. As long as he is there I'll be fairly confident. I'd be there same even if he was managing Real Madrid or Munich. Horrendous coach.

Was about to say this. What a bunch of disgusting creatures. I've never seen the likes of it, the backroom staff are now targets for the DM. Unbelieveable. Would they do that to Fergie's staff? Would they fuck. The DM's campaign is blatantly clear at least, they should be banned from all Chelsea press conferences. They can't go a day without writing something negative about us. They have some sort of sick fascination with us, similar to some opposition fans. It's fine though; they must all look at the table and weep inside.

I came here to comment on this article and you beat me to it; I try to never comment specifically on that filthy rag, but this one has crossed the line. DM are nothing but a bunch of filthy animals who will say anything to sell a newspaper; even though they secretly love Mourinho because they'd have nothing to write about otherwise. In September they were all teary eyed about his return and now Aston is insinuating (with his 1-1 with Reading reference) that Jose should be sacked if he doesn't stop celebrating, being passionate and defending his team? Honestly, fuck right off Neil Ashton you absolute cunt. Brainless diatribe that makes their hate for all things Chelsea so transparent, while also making the 'campaign' not such a fantasy after all. This is honestly the worst Aston article ever (and that says A LOT), I'd love nothing more than to meet this man to tell him what an absolute fool he is. I hope José bans this fucking mong from the press conferences or at least just gives him simple yes/no answers to every possible question. What an absolute wanker. Don't worry lads, all of this is going to make it so much sweeter when we win the league. Fuck the haters. C'mon Chelsea!

What I always said about Willian is that it seems almost impossible to get the ball off him and today was no exception. From memory, I think he may have made just a single wrong pass. Oscar may have more goals and assists, but Willian is never played as no. 10 as often as Oscar is; an argument that was easily thrown around during the 'Mata Vs. Oscar' debate. Well, he's played as the no. 10 tonight and got his goal. He's also shown that not only can he win the ball like Oscar, but he is miles ahead of Oscar at keeping possession of the ball - one of the big reasons why we won tonight. I really hope he keeps his place for PSG.

As good as Willian and Matic were, I have to give it to Cech - a save of the season! If you told me we'd get 7 points from those 3 games without Costa (and Fabregas mainly as well), I would've snapped your hand off. Well done lads!!

Can we just agree that if PSG come in for him again that we sell up for the big bucks and move for someone like Koké or even Isco (who will inevitably be pushed out if Reus arrives)? I wasn't convinced by him last season, particularly because he seemed to 'save himself' for the WC, but I was all for him having one more season to show improvement. So far, he hasn't shown much. His inconsistency in particular has been absolutely infuriating. I mean, why make the argument that he is needed for 'pressing and winning the ball back' if he continues to give the ball away himself while under no pressure? He has been taken off at half time a few times already this season, but he should've been taken off even more than that.

Both running full speed for a loose ball, neither backing out, annnnnnd.....

It wasn't directed at you in particular mate, it's just those subsequent people that seemed to think Skip directly said he is a 'flop' or was writing him off when he actually said nothing of the sort. I think yours was a simple misunderstanding, but others seem to love making mountains out of molehills!

Eh, I believe that was Skipper's point? LOL, Skipper points out that he didn't do much (which he didn't, because he couldn't) and he may need to adapt (which 95% of players need to do) and people start to lose their minds thinking Skipper called him a 'flop'?! Jesus Christ, this forum is laughable sometimes. Pack mentality or what. Calm down everyone.

He was great today, but it was only the one game to be fair. I'm struggling to remember a recent game where he played as well as he did today. Hoping he can find some consistency now and stop giving me mini-heart attacks during every game.

Not necessarily, no. Especially if the definition is someone who just tanks through everything and just gets on with it. Didier is more of a leader than a warrior. Besides, we ourselves booed Didier when he was diving in the early stages of his Chelsea career. The same needs to be done to Brana if he keeps at it (though he has gone quiet on that front since being criticised I'll admit).

José told him that Cahill will start the next game as well.

Kompany: 'Chelsea's 5-point lead is no big deal' How's a 7-point lead for you Kompany, you fat headed w**ker. Always keep your mind on your next game, arrogant bunch of twats!

Suck on that one Skeletor.

Listen here, I got the last one right! I'm actually very surprised. Willian has been our best player, as well as defensively in many ways, and he knows the system. Cuadrado on the other hand is new and we're only leading by the one goal. I didn't think José would risk it defensively just to appease the fans. P.S. Cuadrado just been beaten with ease, that's what José does not want.

If people are surprised that Mikel is on and not Cuadrado, then they don't know Mourinho very well...I doubt we'll see him at all now. He will not risk the current defensive set-up. Willian is certainly not coming off anyway.

Let's hope only 50% of my prediction comes true... Sending Mikel on is like waving the white flag to the opposition in terms of attacking.

LOL, CALLED IT.

City still losing, c'mon lads, keep the head, don't let them get back on top. Saying that, I'm waiting inevitably for Mikel to come one for Oscar and to probably sit back until we concede...

GET IN!!!

Well done Willian. He seems to be the only one who is keeping his head. Excellent today.

PLEASE TAKE OSCAR OFF.

I'm assuming José was a bit arrogant playing Didier, because he's only effective when we have plenty of the ball and, conversely, he absolutely murders all counter-attacks with his severe lack of pace. Either that or nostalgia took hold of him. Neither sign is good.

WTF, Hazard gets grappled to the ground and NOTHING?!

Replay is shown, Agbonlahor knocks the ball out of Courtois' hands with his own hand. Secondary commentator: 'Courtois lucky to get away with that, Agbonlahor didn't do anything wrong.' My hate for that commentator is unbelieveable. Do they even look at something before opening their mouth?! Absolute IDIOT. How these people get paid money is beyond me.
