Closed Chelsea 1-3 Southampton

[Jokesy 53]

We were still well coordinated until Ramires was subbed albeit tactically.

[robsblubot 3,595]

Terrible performance - difficult to watch really.

1st goal is down to the lack of a midfielder following the scorer.

2nd was down to Gary Cahill poor touch and losing the ball in a dangerous area - the enlglsh see terry not stoping the atracker, but that was a difficult challenge since we were not positioned to defend.

3rd goal giving the ball away cheaply and then a counter - not bego's fault by courtois might have kept us in the game.

Not much else to say but that all players were pretty poor.

At this point I am not sure they really want Jose to stay bc they are not running for him.

Bunker speech.

He oughta answer this:
In what sport are those players in blue competing ?

[zakhov 253]

I seem to recall someone making a wager that we would win the Southampton game or he would donate to TC, was it from this thread?

Jamie efffing Rednapp is loving this

He's been waiting for a moment like this for so long. That comment Mourinho made about him a being a football genius really stung.

Tbf, I thought it was funny.

[Tomo 21,751]

Stop embarassing yourself defending Mourinho, Tomo. Costa was very good vs Porto and we still sucked.

He was very good vs West Brom and Arsenal and they were our two best displays off the season, at Porto Cassilas made two saves early on.

The point is when Costa is on song we have a better chance, what on this earth has that got to do with defending Mourinho.

If you can't support us when we lose 3-1

don't support us when we lose 2-1.

[zolayes 14,489]

If you can't support us when we lose 3-1

don't support us when we lose 2-1.

And DONT tell genuine fans TO FUCK OFF

This is the longest Mourinho interview I've seen...

An interview? Where were the questions? A hell of a monologue!

Iago eat your heart out...

[cosmicway 1,333]

Top 4 13 times in the last 15 years.

This time we relegate.

It's just not normal.

Was everyone hoodwinked ?

Has the team been abandoned ?
Something else ?

[Parky 739]

Zero shots on target in the 2nd half by us at home.

[empire of emotions 247]

Now he's saying Top 4 finish is possible

Nobody with our points has finished higher than 5th

Now he's saying he can't be sacked as it will be bad on the club!

Jesus this guy has no shame

if pl loses 4th spot, then it's totally useless to be 4th.

it's better to not play europe than playing europa league.

Never mind the pts.

We are barely good enough to finish top 4000th.

Blah blah blah

[nullabletype 987]

I'm normally not one to call for more kids in the squad, I think the inherent inexperience is risky, but at this point there's nothing to lose. Players don't seem bothered and Mourinho's monologue on Sky Sports more than alluded to the fact that the players are not on his side. We can sack him or the club can take a stance and support the manager. Allow him to field the youth and let whoever isn't interested leave when the windows open. That said, it's up to José to actually play the kids and I don't know that he will. At this point he might as well though. I'd sooner accept results like today if they guys wearing the kit looked like they cared and put a bit of effort in.

[Fernando 6,585]

It's bad when I'm dreading to watch a Chelsea match!

I just want some joy back!

Go watch the 2014/15 season review DVD.

On a completely different note, we, Chelsea fans, need our own Claude. Need someone to moan all the sensible things!

[empire of emotions 247]

The 4th spot will always be there for this season. Next season though is a different story and that's *when* we lose it or not and we'll know before the next season begins.

yea, youre right, stupid me.

[Jase 43,479]

Well, we don't have our own Claude but this is a Claude-esque rant. Entertaining stuff.
