Serious question. How do you use the "ignore list" feature? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

- Click your profile dropdown up in the top right next to the message icon.

- Click 'Manage Ignore Prefs' at the bottom

- Type in 'The only place to be'

- Have a happier life

Madrid act 2?

I love how the media used to celebrate Fergie's hairdryer treatment of players yet when Jose gives the players a richly-deserved bollocking it becomes some form of meltdown.

Carrot and stick.

I'm shocked that the rest of the rags haven't picked up on this story and blown in way out of proportion like they did the Hazard one. Since it's only the Daily Fail who are the biggest anti-Chelsea site out there I'm paying it no attention.

That dailymirror story knocked my socks off. Now, I am barefooted.

actually the same article has been posted by 5 different posters now.

I mean other papers and journalists on twitter. I haven't seen any of the popular journo's crying and bitching about it like they were the Hazard non-story.

I have a hard time believing it myself. This is the sort of thing that he'd say a few weeks back when the title was still very much on, but I can't see José embarrassing a couple of players yesterday. Normal Daily Fail bullshit.

[bushman 2,043]

Well, basically, it is expected by the UK media. There are many haters in England, envious of Chelsea´s success.

However, Jose´s drivels do not help much either.

[Fernando 6,743]

People were always going to be a little frustrated after yesterday's performance and tomo nailed it. I shouldn't have reacted perhaps as I did but if people like lionsden and excalibur want to keep shitting on the team then I have no problem with giving them the chance to put their money where their mouth is.

I agree and that was partly my fault, although I still think there are a few cunts on here who seem to revel in moaning about the team at any opportunity. It's almost like it's more important for them to be proven right in a small way than it is for the club to do well. I'm quite happy to admit Jose has proven me wrong as have a few of the players (thanks to dee's efforts I was reminded that there was a time when players like Azpi and Cahill had question marks about them).

But that's what he does. That's what we as a club do. It's why I put that bet up because I see the problems in the club like others do but I don't harp on about them constantly or glory in them. I look at the guy on the bench and I have faith in him, but faith requires patience and support and I think that's what a few members on here lack.

If I come off as sanctimonious in criticising them then that's kinda tough but I've got very little time for people who constantly look for the negatives and don't celebrate the positives. And there are a fuckload of positives about this club at the moment.

Yes it gets a bit boring sometimes all this back and forth but there's no problem you defending what you believe in. As well there's no problem with those that defend their idea when they criticized Mourinho.

It was actually a comedy show going through the last few pages. :-)

What I don't agree on is you having a go at people because they don't go to games.

Totally uncool and uncalled for.

Mourinho fan boys wont accept he had a worse season that Benitez who not only had a terrible squad, but did not spend 100 million and was constantly under pressure from the fans. Playing style wise we have even regressed. Dont tell me Benitez did not win game becasue he won against Man Utd, Arsenal, Drew at Liverpool, Tottenham who had Bale, won the europa league with an injured Hazard and no bench cover, played on the counter just as Mou seems to play and overall his football was much better on the eye compared to this rubbish Mourinho has had us endure all season. I honestly wish we still had Carlo, he was not a drama queen, played good football and promoted the youth players too.

09-10 yes, but you can't seriously be suggesting what he served up in 10-11 was anything close to good football, surely?. It was static, lethargic and devoid of anything positive, worse than anything we saw under Mou, Benitez, Scolari or AVB.

Like it or not, the first season was a success. We're in a great position to evolve and get further. Yes the UCL Semi and defeats to Palace, Villa and Sunderland hurt, especially Sunderland and Atletico but the players will learn from that. We know what we need and we know what to do. It's all about the summer now and i reckon the club have already secured deals and earmarked who they want anyway.

Anyone calling for Mourinho's head are mad. Our record against the top 7 has been phenomenal. Next season will be slightly transitional but better.Tthe year after we could win the lot.

This day keeps getting weirder. Martin Lipton with a very good level headed article about Jose which I completely agree with!

The Danish National coach Morten Olsen is a mug. He is inept of getting results, and the Danish NT style of play is not particularly interesting either, so he comes across like a complete hypocrite. People have been calling for his head in ages, but the Danish FA are so stubborn.

That story is exactly what most of us have said here. Manures were ready for beating, Atletico´s game was too defensive, so was the game against the goons, I feel.

There won't be a season after for Jose if we are close to the title again but not winning it, especially with current style of football. He needs to get the title+ slightly improving our style or he will be sacked by Roman.
