Term-X

In regards to City, Liverpool the obvious one, Southampton.. 'a possible banana skin' and of course Everton away in May. I can't see anything other than a win elsewhere.

Reporter: Can you win the title? Jose: Can we play Aston Villa again..? ^ That says it all for me, and put a downer on the spectacle yesterday, It might all be for nothing, and we could end up looking back at that fixture.

Considering Jose's love affair with Ivanovic + Azpilicueta pretty much nailed on at left back for the next 5/6 years, signing Shaw would be pretty superfluous. Shame really, in regards to the english core we'll be losing, right player/wrong time.

I'll start the season a week from now, same format, the cup can wait for another season. If anyone else wants to be admin.. let me know.

It has a prestige/tradition now (regardless of how that prestige came to be). Hence why players like Adebayor & Wilshere gravitate towards it. As a kid, playing for grass root sunday league teams, everyone wants it. It's football romanticism, passion, soul, it's a symbol.

'On a side note', since we're talking about number politics.. Gallas left the club because Peter Kenyon gave Ballack the number 13 shirt without his permission. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/5240410.stm

Well, it does actually matter, that's objective.. and universal across all football clubs and national teams. There is no.. 'point' to detract, only my facts.

^ It's already been explained to you how it's about prestige, tradition, culture, yet here you are still making sarcastic remarks.

Nah, he's not on that level yet, might never be. Mourinho is the king, he has the most marketability, the most sponsorships (Braun, Porsche, Yahoo etc). Jose is the symbol of the club now, only two players in world football have more 'star power' than our manager.

If you don't care, don't post in the thread about it. Numbers are positions.. so of course they have meaning, why do you think national teams are 1-11, and change depending on who gets selected. It's also about tradition & culture, Chelsea are accused of having none and people like you are the problem.

Lmao, you have to love the language the Daily Mail have used for that heading, Inter are.. 'plotting', as if managing to pry Torres from us is the equivalent to a bank heist.

Football is commercial now, Chelsea is a brand, like Pepsi.. the colour of the shorts are just as important as the shirt. If we ever switch to communism, you might see white shorts and black socks, until then.. no.

Go outside, get a hobby/job/girl, do something.

Gotta give it to Gilvorak who's found a niche on the forum for being bitter towards Mourinho, what a shit niche to have!, lmao. At least Tommy10 has all that ladyboy shit.. When Mata was sold Gilvorak was actually advocating Rafa (of all people, just to attack Jose). Yet here is 'pointing fingers' at Jose for supposedly not praising Terry, a player who was marginalised by that very manager.

So if you have a broken arm, not being able to lift weights is an.. 'excuse'. Lukaku realised it was a World Cup year and asked to be loaned out, as he and Jose have confirmed in various interviews.

Classic.

BT sport haven't got enough time to air Mourinho's interview, they wasted it all talking to David-fucking-James.

Indeed, the officials were on their side today, odd considering it was at the bridge. The 5mins added on were actually not enough.

One save in particular today was World Class. *That deflected shot from Osman I believe.*

Everton were taking half an hour to take GK kicks, faked injuries and were even laying on the ball, stop-start/stop-start.. Should have been 10mins added on, but it all worked out in the end.

Ref and Everton tried their best to kill the tempo and flow of the game.. I can't even articulate how important this victory was, MASSIVE.

If we don't get 10mins added on, this refs been paid by the arabs at City.

Cheats.
