Chelsea Thread 2014/15

Mourinho is a world class c**t. He should never be named with the greats. Dull as fuck tactics and a world class hypocrite. Wanker.

Disagree with you on just one point there, he is a great. You can't win what he has without being a great . But I agree with everything else and why does he have such a bug chip on his shoulder, he's won everything so who cares what others say. Smacks of the mans insecurity.

You are of course right but it still pains me. I can't remember a team of champions I couldn't watch and enjoy ( filth excluded ) but these I would literally rather watch Coronation Street, in fact make that Eastenders.

This league has been handed to them on a plate. Who knows what might have happened,
IF the rest of us had stepped up a bit more. Chelsea might have stepped up another gear.
We don't know. What we do know is, they are virtually champions and will have deserved it
for being the best team over 38 games.

Pre new year. They were battering some teams, they had a blip, we started firing and caught them.
This blip they had, i think, caused Mourihno to lock down and go for the cautious approach.
He adapted to the teams in the current league. Now i hate the bastard as much as anyone,
but history will prove he got it right.

They have played some fantastic football this season. Mourinho's philosophy is simple. Put together a team that can beat the middle/lower teams 90% of the time, and play not to lose against the top teams. If any team can do better against the middle/lower teams, they would be worthy champions.

It is a shame though, you would think that the team he has could play more exciting football against the top teams as well. Sometimes it's like he does it to make a point. The recent Arsenal game, for example.

Our problem is that we lost too many games to teams we should be beating. Nothing at all to do with Chelsea.

They will take some beating next season simply because of their consistency.

Only losing 2 games so far this season is astonishing really.

What gets me is that despite us scoring two more goals than them albeit conceding 9 more, that difference is 13 points, quite astonishing really in my opinion.

I wouldn't want their style of football at City though and I think we do have a better long term plan in place.

Mourinho claiming its all the sweeter given his club have won it despite having to deal with FFP lol.

No mention of winning whilst your direct rival had their hands and feet tied behind their backs with it eh?

Ruud Gullit saying his ex-club does indeed play boring football

A lot of pissed off chavs as you can imagine after the revelation. Truth hurts.

Oh come on, we can't complain about FFP, having spunked away money on the likes of Willy and Ferando.

If you are a Chelsea fan there is no issue with the way the team plays but there is a bigger picture. Football is an entertainment business whatever the purists say. Mourhinho is ultimately bad for the game. He has a destructive and negative philosophy. His teams do not lift the spirits. The end result of this sort of negative style is what you see in Italy. Dire, negative, matches in half empty stadiums which no one in the rest of the world wants to watch. It is ironic that City (who scored more goals in all competitions last season than any team in history) have been accused of "ruining football." Chelsea, like the Leeds side of the 60s and 70s, will be hated by everyone else and will damage the game we all love. I have no doubt that Mourhinho is a great manager with a technically excellent team but Chelsea are bad for the soul.

From 5Live: 3 defeats in 50 games this season. Not bad!

I think it's at Stamford Bridge. The BBC had to apologise last week because they had it out on the pitch for some photoshoots and it was seen prematurely by a tourist group.
