As if Chelsea will go to Arsenal and win.
Just to throw a few things into perspective, Chelsea have scored one goal in their last 7 games, drawing one and losing six.
They've been beat by worse teams than Arsenal, anyone thinking they'll turn up tonight are tripping.

If anything Chelsea are relegation fodder the way they are playing and they are lucky that there isn't more games left as they'd be in a scrap to stay up.

I think you're maybe getting a little confused with the association between Mourinho and the PTB phrase.

Mourinho first used the term 'park the bus' in the Prem (19 Sep 2004 after a 0-0 draw with Spuds) to describe how many teams played against Chelsea. He didn't win three Prem titles by doing the same.

The PTB phrase was previously used more widely in Portugal, so I don't think Jose lays a claim to inventing it overall, but certainly brought it to England.

Also,and sorry to have to break this here, but it isn't Chelsea's objective to play for a point and therefore secure City the title. We never play for a draw. Ever.
Iv seen you play for a draw so many times at the Etihad
 
Playing a low block in the hope of countering does not constitute playing for a draw.

At the moment of the game you refer to City were something like 18 points clear and destroying teams.

Are you suggesting we should have turned up at the Etiad with our guard down just to give the City punters a good day out?

Also, you say you've seen us play for a draw 'loads of times'. You've gone back five years to dig out one game that proves we lost that day and were outclassed but doesn't prove anything else. Any more?
