After City, most games for Chelsea should be straight forward...given Conte's standards. I still don't know if Chelsea will be title challengers this year....my heart says yes but brain says a no.

What a unbelievable performance from the lads. Today's display rightfully reminded me of the true Chelsea, the one we were all used to seeing before last season. Conte is our new Mourinho. We are looking great for top 4, if Tottenham capitulate, we should be on track for top 4, given we don't throw away easy games. Next three games are against Middlesborough (A), Tottenham (H) and City (A). Middlesborough and Tottenham should be easy 6 points, given our momentum. With Man City away, I am not too sure but 1 point, if we manage it, I'll be happy with. I am loving the three at the back system....5 clean sheets in a row!

Those are some interesting facts. It mentions "Iberian" but I didn't know Iberian could mean an ancient Georgian Kingdom, as I always thought Iberia meant Spain and Portugal. With Georgians, most of them look identical to a Southern Spanish look. Maybe some centuries ago, the Georgians and the Spanish exchanged genes and hence their similarity in looks. They seem to be lacking the genes to make them good at football, something Spain has

Do Georgians share common genetics with Spanish people? Looking at their football team, most of them have very similar similar features to a Spanish footballer/person.

Absolutely saddened to hear one of our own, going to United. I am still respectful for all he has done for Chelsea FC. He is our best ever manager. The fact that some Chelsea fans have starting to call Mourinho "scum" and "traitor", shouldn't really be our fans. This man, Mourinho, built our club. He won us 75% of all league titles, won post Roman takeover. How can we give someone like him stick? I am indeed agitated by him. But aren't Chelsea FC in the wrong here? We sacked him TWICE, and both times being undeserved. Did we seriously expect him to stay so loyal to us, where we have treated him so bad recently? Mourinho has never spoken bad about our club either. Mourinho is simply dying for a job in the Premier League, it seems. Currently, only United were interested in taking him. I don't blame him for wanting to work in the Premier League.

Check this fight out.

If you thought Leicester City are the only ones this year to emulate such a magical run, well think again. This year, as it currently stands, it appears last season relegation side Rostov in Russia, are now top of the Russian league with only few more games to go. Next season we could have Rostov and Leicester in pot 1 of the Champions league, all from being relegation survivors in their respective leagues....

Here are some interesting facts. Leicester's magical run, which started this time last year, began after beating West Ham 2-1 at home. Today, West Ham end Leicester's winning streak. Liverpool's 13/14 title challenge collapsed after beating Norwich away, securing top 4 finish. This year, Leicester after beating Sunderland away to secure top 4, drop points in a very long time to West Ham and are heading towards a difficult run of fixtures.

Why can't we make HIDDINK our permanent manager?

Will Pato be ready for this game?

There's a difference between poverty and starving. Lol.

Read my latest post.

There's this common misconception with China or Russia. These two nations have their prosperous regions but also their not so prosperous, where you would find poverty. China and Russia are both multi-ethnic states. China isn't just China or Russia isn't just Russia, it's just other autonomous regions such as Tibet, Xinjiang, but with huge populations. Western and Southern China mostly major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou are prosperous, almost like Japan, Korea. Most Han Chinese places are not "poor". But since China has MASSIVE Eastern provinces such as Xinjiang, TIbet, Qinghai, and some poor Northern provinces, which have little industry and people there are "poor", and it's mostly populations of these provinces that fall under poverty. Same goes for Russia. It's got rich places such as Moscow, St Petersburg but also poor places like Chechnya and other places in the North Caucasus, where poverty is rife.

Russian people starving? WTF did I read??

We should rather sign someone like Artem Dzyuba of Zenit, someone proven at the highest club level football. Not sure what to say on Pato. Chelsea do love signing hasbeen strikers.

Look what Ranieri has done with the players in Leicester.

Saddest moment for Chelsea fans, who wanted long term stability.

People always love to bring up Mourinho selling Lukaku, Mata, Luiz this season, in such a convenient time when we are doing awful. Last season, Lukaku Mata Luiz were not part of the team but I barely heard any mention of them when we were top of the league. Bringing them up at this moment of time is irrelevant.

No point sacking Mourinho but there is a point sacking the players that do not want to play for the club. Mourinho isn't the problem here, people have to realise.

We will be getting AVB back, I can just feel it happening.

Mourinho has done everything to please the fans, he's started to play Baba Rahman, he has dropped Terry and he is playing Hazard up front, everything the fans wanted. Today's game, all our players were absolutely wasteful, we were denied a penalty too and on top of all this, their goal was offside. In Mourinho's whole lifetime, this is the absolute worst he is doing. He has never been even a quarter as bad as he is now. With this being said, what does this tell you? Shouldn't this indicate most of our players are on their way out and it's not actually the manager? For the time being, Mourinho needs to guarantee we stay in Europe, whether it is Champions League or Europa until February. Then hopefully in January, we are able to spend big, we need 2-3 great players come January. Then hopefully our squad is well enough to win Europa/CL from February onwards. Hopefully we can win the FA cup as well.

Mourinho is not the one to blame for today's result, not at all.

He has been linked with Arsenal a lot recently. I'd like to know how these Russian players would perform outside of Russia, but their wages in Russia mean they would never leave Russia. Another striker in Russia would be Dzyuba, second top scorer in CL behind Ronaldo currently.

Well you're a French Belgian so it makes sense for you. For majority of the people in the world, this isn't "home" to everyone. The issue with everyone changing profile pictures on Facebook, is why wasn't there a feature of changing your PP to a Turkish flag when the Ankara bombings took place for example. Or the Russian plane crash? Why weren't buildings lighting up Russian flags? There needs to be some consistency and balance in the reporting. You can't be reporting the Paris Bombing if you are not even gonna mention a second of the Beirut bombing. Both huge tragedies. At least Aljazeera are good at professional reporting.
