The Mourinho Thread

[Adnane 1,101]

Anyway, I'm predicting a proper thrashing of Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Also, after we seal the title, we will surely play way more attacking football against Liverpool, that game is going to be one to watch, especially if we put in guys like RLC, Luis, Zouma.

[iseah100 5,612]

Should let the guys loose vs Palace. A 4-0 win will do.

"Unfortunately looks like we'll have to change the thread title here."

"his tactics yesterday was cowardly. he has the audacity to call us boring. In between chelsea's 1st and second title, there was one princess called Diana who born and died in freak accident. two generations have passed by." ??

"Chelsea is a world class bodybuilder with a 1 inch cock and a pair of pea sized balls."

"

It's grating how he takes a pop at our club, manager and history every chance he gets. Last season Arsene was a specialist in failure and this season 10 years without a league title is boring.

If 10 years without a title is boring, what about 50 years? Because that's how long Chelsea 'fans' had to wait before Abramovic's billions came into play.

It's difficult to figure out who I hate more, Chelsea or Mourinho.

Click to expand...

He's just taking the piss and throwing out bait to get attention. It's amazing to me how people can still get riled up about the comments he make. It's so obvious that he's just doing it to keep the focus on him instead of his team, and people bite again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

To the point where the guy even has is own thread on an Arsenal board, so it's clearly working."

"New Karma is a bitch.

Mourinho will get his comeuppance, whether it's on or off the pitch.

Not holding my breath on the English media calling this disrespectful, odious **** out any time soon."

Listening to media saying how adaptive we are, i had a thought.....

well more of a dream team to be honest, it would be the greatest team of chelsea's history, really more fun to think about than expect to happen!

But, could you imagine Jose building a team which could play in a similar way to all of his great teams?

the machine like efficiency an direct ruthlessness of his chelsea 2004-06

the unbeatable defence of Inter with a midfield of counter attacking prowess.

the glitz and aesthetic of his madrid title winning team.

Thing is, im not so sure you have to really sacrifice one for the other (within reason)?

i think your defence needs to be able to play both deep and high pressing?

your midfield needs to be athletic and powerful (chelsea midfield) have the defensive screening of cambiasso (matic?) and have someone to control possession and be good at starting counterattacks (dont think thats cesc, but i do think Koke)

Hazard gives the spark, the magic in attack. Costa can be dynamite and ignite a game that much more through confrontation, but we need another attacking theat. i think we need a winger/striker. someone who can play the role malouda/anelka did for us, etoo did for inter and ronaldo for madrid. ?

such a team would win the league three times in a row

very unlikely to happen though, i think we'd still have to redo at least half the team?

what would be your dream mourinho team?

Netherlands World Cup '74 and '78, Brazil World Cup '82, Eusebio's Benfica (in Europe) come to mind. I'm not much of a football historian though.

Personally, I will always remember Jorge Jesus' Benfica, even though they've been quite 'unfortunate' in Europe. Same for Villarreal CL 05/06, Bayern 11/12, Dortmund 12/13, Argentina & Ghana World Cup 2006, Netherlands Euro 2008, Chili World Cup 2010 just to quickly name a few losers.

Your memory is insane, I can barely remember a match from 2 weeks ago...

[OhForAGreavsie 6,091]

Those two things are the greatest myths in football history.

The best football we played under Roman was in fact under Scolari, under Carlo our squad was so strong that we trashed teams without necessarily playing beautiful, we were excellent but not "beautiful as you want to describe it", we were just scoring way too much for everyone.

Under Scolari we were playing "beautiful" football yeah.

But the best football we've played in my opinion is the one which suits all kind of opposition, allows us to face anyone with the weapons we need, and this is wat we're doing atm.

And no one's ever gonna convince me that Ancelloti said "no don't give the best striker in the world Roman, no thanks"

Butch Wilkins has confirmed that it was Carlo, not Roman, who instigated the Torres deal. I see no reason to call Butch a liar, so Carlo is the man to blame for that £100m disaster.

Torres was never the greatest striker in the world by the way. Had I been the owner and Carlo walked in telling me he wanted to spend £100m on Torres, I'd have sacked him on the spot and tried to find someone who put more effort into their work. I refuse to believe that Carlo would have failed to notice how poor Torres was if he'd actually watched him as carefully as would have been required to justify such a huge deal. I'd have had to conclude therefore that Carlo was being lazy and had not done his homework so I'd have sacked him. I'm serious.

So, another 8-0 would be great

Glorious sunny morning today, and it feels even better because we're going to win the league :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

[Fernando 6,591]

Didn't we lose to Tottenham in January?

[DYC. 7,542]

Invincibles not even up there. Not to discredit them in anyway, but I'd take that 1 L for more W's. It's a shame they didn't go unbeaten in 04/05. Can you imagine going unbeaten and not winning the league...

Would be nice to reach 90+ again. It's definitely possible.

How Arsenal can snatch the title from Chelsea’s grasp

18 April 2015 – Chelsea v Manchester United

Chelsea lose only their third league match of the season at Stamford Bridge as Louis van Gaal’s side leap-frog Arsenal to move up to second and within five-points of Jose Mourinho’s side.Pts Chelsea 73, Man Utd 68, Arsenal 66

26 April 2015 – Arsenal v Chelsea

Eight days after booking their place in the FA Cup final, Arsene Wenger’s side inflict a second successive defeat on the west London club. It’s also their first league win over their rivals at the Emirates since 2011. Pts Chelsea 73, Arsenal 69

29 April 2015 – Leicester v Chelsea

Diego Costa returns from injury as Chelsea pile further misery on soon to be soon-to-be-relegated Leicester with a comfortable win and stretch lead at top back to seven points. Pts Chelsea 76, Arsenal 69

3 May 2015 – Chelsea v Crystal Palace

Alan Pardew’s in-form Palace side give Mourinho’s boys a run for their money and leave the Bridge with a much-deserved point. Pts Chelsea 77, Arsenal 69

4 May 2015 – Hull City v Arsenal

Wenger’s side stretch their unbeaten run to 10 straight wins with a comfortable win and cut the deficit down to five points. Pts Chelsea 77, Arsenal 72

10 May 2015 – Chelsea v Liverpool

Chelsea suffer their first league defeat to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge since Feb 2011 as the nerves set in. Pts Chelsea 77, Arsenal 72

11 May 2015 – Arsenal v Swansea

An 11th straight win for THE in-form Premier League side takes Arsenal to within two points of Chelsea. Pts Chelsea 77, Arsenal 75

17 May 2015 – Manchester United v Arsenal

Wenger’s side grab a late equaliser to deny United of three points and move to within a point of Chelsea. Pts Chelsea 77, Arsenal 76

18 May 2015 – West Brom v Chelsea

Cesc Fabregas puts through his own net with a minute to go to hand West Brom three vital points in their battle to beat the drop. Pts Chelsea 77, Arsenal 76

20 May 2015 – Arsenal v Sunderland

Wenger’s side move to the top of the table for the first time since the start of the season, ending Chelsea’s record-breaking stint at the summit in the process and take a two-point lead into the final day of the season. Pts Chelsea 77, Arsenal 79

24 May 2015 – Arsenal v West Brom and Chelsea v Sunderland

Knowing only a win and Chelsea draw or defeat will guarantee them the title, Arsenal destroy West Brom 5-0.Sunderland head into the final day needing a point and results elsewhere go their way to avoid the drop. They score a last-gasp equaliser to secure the draw and in the process deny Chelsea of a first league title since 2010. Final pts Chelsea 78, Arsenal 82

So in the space of five weeks the 'Journalist' expected us to lose to United, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Brom, and to draw against Palace and Sunderland. He only had us winning 1 game and that was against Leicester. I have to give it to the Journalist, it's a funny read.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Ancelotti was given an ageing squad, but yet managed to produce the best football of any manager in the Abramovich era and win the league and cup double. Abramovich and the board didn't rejuvenate the squad in his second season and it cost us. Instead Torres was forced down his throat.

Actually, Ancelotti himself pushed for Torres.

[The Skipper 20,609]

I'm not even trying to defend Ancelotti, but it's ridiculous for some to lay all the blame on him for that 2nd season. He had his problems as a manger. My point is, the board simply didn't back him in the summer. EVERYBODY knew we had an ageing squad. When things started to go south, we then wasted over 80 million pounds on Luiz and Torres in January. Both panic buys.

I just googled that 2010-2011 squad. It was a 70ish point sort of team. Nothing more. I remember there was a time even McEachran looked our best midfielder.

Ancelotti did the best he could with what was an ageing squad. Mourinho is doing what he's supposed to do with the best team in the league and with no competition from his rivals. But it's Ancelotti who gets blamed?

Also, Luiz was incredible that season, JT even said he'd be our next captain at the time...

Torres was pushed through by Ancelotti and Luiz actually helped us when he came in. Can't use that as a stick to beat the board with.
