Here is Mourinhos comments on Madrids defeat yesterday. Compare it with Rafas bullshit:

Yup - nice comments...

Man just come back from the mountain climb with the dog and missus - all the way up and down (despite the amazing views and fresh snow) I had a nice warm feeling that RB would be gone....

Back now and nothing's happened - WBA vs Spurs, both changed to 4-4-2 well Spuds 4-4-1-1 - I look at Spuds and would only have Dembele and Bale out of the starting line-up... WTF has happened to our club!!! If that shower of shite finish above us, something needs to happen...

Just so pissed off - arse and spuds really close - we're in free fall at the min...

I don't care about our reputation - I would rather be in the CL than respected

Please, please bring in Rikjard or Hiddink or someone and QUICK!!!!

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Both Spurs and Arsenal have been so shite..we've just joined them and going worse! You cant even look at a fixture and think thats a defo 3 points..its a case of if we get it we'll be lucky!

Dreading Europa starting another comp to be shit in..yay....

Was giving Rafa a chance but enough is enough now.Nothing has changed,we havent gelled and become a team to fear or improved in anyway!We are just shite

Roman needs to tale a look at what hes done. He also by the look of things needs back, sack (Rafa) and crack done

Our Back room staff.......

Under Jose:-

Steve Clarke

Brendan Rodgers

Andre Villas Boas

Under Rafa:-

Bolo Zenden (still doesn't even have a coaching badge)

Michael Emanalo

Steve Holland

Speaks volumes really, you can trace our clubs decline all the way
back to when Jose's backroom staff were replaced by Grant and his mate
Emanalo. Even under Carlo, Wilkins was pulled from under his feet.

Should stay with Avb. The main reason he was not sucessful was because of old guard. But they are not our future are they? If Avb is good at something its motivating young talents. We have plenty of them nowdays...

[Stingray 9,441]

Repost from another thread because I thought it fits here even better :-)

I cannot help but think players pick up things that are unsaid. Even the old guard. Our team can play, but it's in the head stuff isn't computng anymore. And I can relate to it. Whe you thin of it, it is quite simple!

Suppose you are all a talented bunch of players. Some new and talented with a lot to prove and some older with a pedigree that just got a CL title attached to it.

In comes a transition year in which you start to feel something is wrong or strange. We buy a LOT of youngsters and we seem to loan out even more. No matter how thin our squad gets, we keep stalling very talented guys elsewhere to get experience (think Chalobah, Courtois, Lukaku, KDB, Josh, Piazon). Some of the older ones get loaned out to (Essien) or sold (Meireles), maybe bexause in the long run they can gives us nothing extra anymore in the eyes of our board. All this only makes sense if this is a very deliberate strategic choice of our board. But what decision?

Well, Let's do the best we can with the old guard (in the process we don't disappoint our fans too much), we buy some real young hot shots designed for greatness because we would simply miss out on them otherwise (Oscar, Hazard). We also decide to play our failing 50 m striker till he at least is worth some values for money when we sell him again. We get all our prospects in teams where they pick up the experience they need (like planting seeds everywhere - in business this is a sure and guaranteed wa to be able to harvest in a very insecure environment. Salespeople call this 'filling your pipeline').

Then we wait patiently, confident we will get a CL place and next year when we get rid of Lampard, JT and all those other oldies (except Cech - but we will replace shitty Turnbull and qhilarious with a hot new star on the firmament Courtois).

During the season, we keep RDM aboard - perhaps waiting for Pep in the year to come. Suddenly we see our performances (CL especially) stutter a little and our board panicks. We sack RDM because our entire strategy stands or falls with a CL place (remember FFP is coming up)

Enter a manager - though hated - with a pedigree. One of the few or maybe the only ne that was available at the time.

Result: a team void of direction. Too thin, in some areas too unexperienced (we depend on Mata who joined last year, Hazard and Oscar - both u22 players even though they do a great job considering)

Result: a team that is now in danger of sliding away from a CL spot. Why else have we only bought BA. Did the oard think this would be just enough to get us that number 4 spot after all?

Now everything is gong downhill a bit, a slippery slope we don't seem to be able to get out of and Rafa is left with nothing. No new players, no Charisma, no leadership, no fan support and .... If my analyses is correct: no board support since the last couple of matches.

Ergo: what happened this season so far: we overplayed our hand. Bluffed a little too hard and hoped for he best. Unfortunatley that's when Murphy (the guy from the law, you know) came along.

And now we are here ..... and there is only one thing left to do. Buckle up and bite the bullet. Maybe JT comes along as a player manager or Eddie even -just for the psychological effect!

We will have to sit this year out and NOT forget our team like our board see's to have done a bit by playing high stakes with them. After the CL win, they actually deserved much better

'Nough said.

Ps! Sorry for the typos. Frantically writing on ipad is hell :-)

Well, thats me awake. First thing I do, while I scrub the molars is check online to see if slim has been sacked yet..............and nothing. Roman must be shagging his daughter.

Yup Rafas still here like a nappy -hanging round and full of shit.

Yesterday when Demba Ba was ko'd on the deck with blood pouring from his face,

Torres didn't move from the dug out for a good 5 mins and that was only when Rafa told him to warm up! He should have been straight up, sprinting up and down that touchline, ready to go looking fired up.

His attitude, commitment and confidence, is fucking rank. Getting paid god knows what, yet we stick with his shit for more

than 2 years, because hes Romans toy, yet we won't even offer Frank a contract.

Absolute muppets run CFC.

[Kezza 1,965]

SACK RAFA!

Lucious bead of hair from his chest pubes down to his ball fro!

[Blue Armour 4,436]

Sigh...the sight of Rafa on the touchline when we concede...I should be crying, but more often end up laughing...

Nothing Chelsea does makes sense these days....

[klopfzeichen 78]

SACK RAFA!

Roman is a bear!!!

[Rmpr 8,977]

SACK RAFA!

IS HE LUNCHING WITH RAFA?
