Great artcile from Mathew Syed in the Times today about the Criminal who owns Chelsea

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/football/article4597865.ece

Have you Sperms managed to get round Son's requirement to begin National Service by the time he's 28?

It is indeed a great article. I wonder Martynski would make of it?

(I'm being rhetorical; he'd applaud the criticism of Yeltsin, but be scathing about the criticism of St Pootin and thinly-veiled accusations of Pootin's own corruption & scumbaggery)

Agreed that was a good article that explains some of the smoke and mirrors at Chelsea.

Re Chelsea, I must admit that I've never been a fan of Mourinho. Despite his undisputed skills and record as a manager, he has always come across to me as something of a conceited individual who has too high an opinion of himself. The way he treated the club's doctor at the start of the season was bang out of order, IMO.

In some ways, I think it'll be payback for Mourinho for that incident if Chelsea do have a rotten season..

When he first joined, he was a breath of fresh air, and I thought most of the 'I'm great' stuff was tongue in cheek. Then he started believing his own hype, began with the snide stuff, and developed his obsessive hatred of Liverpool & Benitez  (that CL semi-final? it was a goal, get over it )

His second stint at Chavski is just daft. He's a parody of himself and he's acting like a spoilt baby half the time.

Another lot of dross at Old Trafford last night

That wont upset many at OT, its a cup comp not many are keen on, at least they got out of it injury free

Although the core of the first choice XI did get taken to extra time 3 days before a game away to Palace

C'mon, Palace!!!

Funnily enough, a "breath of fresh air" is how I would describe Liverpool's new boss. Although I don't profess to know a great deal about Jurgen Klopp other than the success he had at Dortmund, for me he has more personality in his little finger than Mourinho has ever had and he seems like a genuinely decent guy. Nothing remotely snobbish or uppish and not full of his own ego, unlike "Maureen".

you did better than us ..................full bloody stop John

I'd like to see Liverpool get 3 points today , probably not alone in that

I'd prefer a draw, on the assumption we beat Villa on Monday and the Chavs; Dippers end up losing more ground.

Hopefully the current scoreline stays as is.

A poor game featuring two poor teams.

It is poor yes

Amazing how bad Chelsea have become over the Summer

LOL, is this the end of Maureen?

It could well be

Oh dear

Tim Sherwood's available. Chelsea have never sacked him.

Oh dear now 3-1

OK, Mourinho's gone now. Chelsea have given up.

Conceding three goals to a mediocre team without a recognised striker for much of the game is beyond the pale.

Good grief, this is comedy. I just wish Randalf The W.ank wasn't banned.

I'm not sure JM will be sacked though

If they carry on playing like they did today against a poor Dippers side (given their injuries) he is going to go.

The team is shot, they're now looking at teams below them, but not the usual suspects such as Sh.iteh and Asenal. More like Villa and Blunderland.
