Pellegrini on Mourinho -

'The celebration of the winning goal, I expect nothing but this from him. After the game I didn't shake hands with him because I didn't want to.'

Oooh someone can't take a defeat....

I can't with bitter people. They're the most unbearable kind of people... the worst!

but they never fail to make me laugh my arse off.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A RESULT.... atlast some luck... very much needed luck, and what a time to get it...

cech - poor by his standards to let that goal in. near post. one of those poor moments. but knowing cech, i expect 5 clean sheets in the next 5 games. 5/10

ivanovic - very good game. got well ahead and read the game brilliantly a couple of times. was very central in defence as both silva and nasri were pretty central. his moment against clichy when he nut-megged him was awesome. 7/10

cahill - same mistake. he is found out against good strikers. definitely not a WC defender but a pretty decent defender. his and JT's combo at the back is pretty solid and anything played into the D is dealt with brilliantly... 6/10

JT- another brilliant performance. he is showing that he is still our best defender and a WC defender at that. was beaten for pace once but cant think of anything other moment when he was in trouble. 8/10

cole - his best PL performance this season. was solid and supported hazard/schurrle brilliantly. he is slowly but steadily coming back to his own. 8/10

RAMBO - LIKE A FUCKING BOSS. what a performance. what a brilliant unbelievable performance!!! i have never seen yaya been subdued by another player , the way rambo did to him. just awesome. his ball to torres which he missed, his cross, his defendinf, running... i mean his EVERY-FUCKING-THING was brilliant. 10/10

lamps- played better than i and most here expected. was pretty decent compared to mikel who let silva and fernandinho run free. lamps put in hard tackles and complimented rambo well. 7/10

hazard - was good. took zabaleta/clichy on a few times. dint get as much purchase as i thought he would but a decent game nonetheles. 7/10

schurlle - pretty much the same as hazard. the only difference was, he got the all-important goal and tracked back way better than hazard. 8/10

oscar - very subdued. dint provide the link-up that was needed. but defensively was good. 7/10

torres - missed a sitter. went past clichy like he was not even there. hit the post like a shot so similar to the one that he scored against us with. (got on the wrong side of iva and curled it in, liverpool away, 2-0 defeat). he was direct, strong, pacy. his workrate was BRILLIANT and that is why he got his goal. to chase that ball down was like mou said "BELIEF". i have no idea what jose is doing to him, but god-damn, now he is looking like a 50mil striker. 9.5/10

subs -

willian - was really sparky since he came on. a direct sub for schurlle. decent 20 odd minutes. 7/10

mikel - poor. u r a DM and u cant tackle and not just that, he let fernandinho and navas run past him so easily that it seemed like a joke. he has to get his act together to have a chance playing for mou. 5/10

etoo - not much time to do anything. but for his clearance which hit zabaleta and earned us the thrown at the end, i ll say he was good. N/A

this has to be the result that will make us the favourites. arsenal will drop points in the coming weeks with the kind of fixtures they have, pool too and tottenham's luck will run-out sooner rather than later (how they keep getting those lucky calls for penalties is beyond me).

Extremely harsh on Mikel. Poor??? Sorry but I completely disagree. He done his job and I don't recall him looking like a weak link. Mourinho put him on for a reason. To help shore up the midfield and provide more cover for the defence and he done that. He kept possession and provided needed stability for the team.

i think mou had no option but to take out lamps. i remember a time in the 2nd half when lamps put in another of his hard-tackles and i realized he was already on a yellow. mikel was the most natural replacement from lamps.

i expected more of mikel. i expected him to play like a man possessed and who came out and played with a point to prove. but i was suprised it was the same old mikel and what was worse was there were about 2 instances when navas went past him with mikel not even fouling him and one instance where fernandinho ghosted past rambo and him. for me, he was poor. he could have and should have done better.

City hardly had a shot before 42 minutes, Chelsea should have been 3-0 up by the time they started playing.

Honestly anything other than 3 points would have been 2 points dropped considering how the game was going, thankfully Hart came to the rescue.

Well, what can one say here. Even though, Chelsea got lucky at the end, I thought Chelsea deserved to win it yesterday.

Several deals done by Jose I didn´t like, but one thing I must say, Jose is a genius.

I even think, he has gotten better since he was at Stamford Bridge last time. His tactical nuances, line-ups, substitutions are unbelievable. This Jose is in class by himself, I feel.

Fantastic performance by Ferda, even though he missed a sitter, was his best I have seen for months.

As I was looking at Chelsea´s schedule for November & December, I see plenty of winnable games for this club. If Chelsea can put in a 10 games winning streak, they are sitting on top of PL for the rest of this season, then.

It is a fantastic joy to wake up this morning, to read the newspapers, several football sites, & laugh at all ill-wishing a-holes.

Mind you United fans are even more deluded over RedCafe, saying Citeh and us were both not that good LMFAO!

LOOOL. Technically, physically and in terms of tempo, this was the best game in the EPL this season. Both teams put in an incredible performance, imo.
