Fair enough.
Lamps will always be loved at Chelsea, regardless of this period. I think it took a loyal Chelsea man to agree to take the reins at this point.

So you’re saying it took him one week to learn the job and turn into a shining example of ownership? I’ll take thatHe appointed a complete arsehole to run the club early doors. Put it right in about a week.

Who's going to score for them? One flukey deflected goal in their last 7 games. That's rivalling THAT season under Pearce.Surely they're overdue a decent result? Maybe they can accidentally score tomorrow and hope for the best
It's clear that the whole club is in such a negative state psychologically at this point that it's hard to see how we compete against one of this season's best teams.
However, we hate Arsenal, and we play better against sides who come at us.
It's not impossible that we get something, unless Frank, again plays a defensive midfield system with no attackers.
Unlikely that we get something, but not impossible. Plus, we have a decent knack of killing off London rivals' title bids - see Battle of the Bridge, 2016: https://www.skysports.com/football/...elsea-and-tottenhams-infamous-match-revisited

You’ve had a shit season lads, but what a way to get a bit of feel good factor back by ending your London rivals title challenge.
I think you're maybe getting a little confused with the association between Mourinho and the PTB phrase.Don’t why chelsea just don’t park the bus! Lampard played under Mourinho long enough to pick up some of Mourinhos bus numbers
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.
Exactly that. I expect a big effort.You’ve had a shit season lads, but what a way to get a bit of feel good factor back by ending your London rivals title challenge.

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.

Iv seen you play for a draw so many times at the EtihadI think you're maybe getting a little confused with the association between Mourinho and the PTB phrase.

Nah they weren't playing for a draw in that one, if they were they might have mounted an attack at a goal down.
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?
