Jose At his mind games again 

Mourinho is one narcissistic, sad old man.

[Chelsea? 892]

This isn't so much him taking a dig at us as  it's a coach setting up an excuse for a loss

What kind of bullshit attitude is that? If you are a Chelsea fan than surely every cup competition should hold some significance. 

Whatever. Sorry, but if we win it "yay," nice to add another trophy. If we don't it's not like the PL or CL or even a CL place where I'd be super disappointed.

If you're Arsenal or Spuds who haven't won shit in ages or United last season who went years and years without winning an FA Cup then it's a huge deal, but I'm personally pretty indifferent to the competition. The "magic" of the FA Cup is lost on me I suppose.

Guess what I'm saying is the only two competition that matter to me are the PL and CL. FA Cup is nice and League Cup is meaningless.

"Chelsea can only think about that [the FA Cup] because they are champions and they have nothing else to fight for"

Like the PL was handed to us at the beginning of the season and somehow we "only" have to fight for the FA Cup, plus his comment about "very defensive"  makes we want to engage in an involuntary personal protein spill.

Remember this José ? replace 10 by 12 and Arsenal by Man United.

Tough draw. Hope we show the spirit we showed in the thrashing we gave them earlier.

This all depends on Jose. He could field a weak side knowing we'll win either way or field a strong side, park the bus and try grind out a result. We will play like we usually do, hopefully not get caught out on the counter. Chelsea 2-1

You do realise what a glory hunter that makes you look ?. The F.A. cup is nice fucking hell it's the oldest cup competition in the world and you make it sound like it's meaningless but I suppose to people from outside England it is.

Every individual can decide to support, or to follow, whichever club they choose and do so for whatever reason they want. They can express that decision in whichever way they like and they'll get no criticism from me. I would however be very, very critical of this club if it was to share your point of view.

I love Chelsea football club. I could not feel any other way even if I wanted to, but the attitude it has displayed throughout its history, an attitude which charges coaches and players with the duty to make maximum effort in every competition we enter, is something which makes me very proud.

I have never felt it was my right to claim to be a better Chelsea fan than anyone else, or to prescribe for others what is the correct, or the incorrect, way to be a fan. Clearly I do not have that right, but I wouldn't use it even if I did. I must say however that I would take a very great deal less pride in my club if it shared your point of view about the Football Association Challenge Cup. Fortunately, for me anyway, I think the club sees the FA cup differently to the way you do. I expect Antonio to demonstrate that difference by fielding a full strength side and insisting that the players give everything in pursuit of victory against Manchester United in round six.
