Mourinho says he thinks Costa got injured by punching himself.... You couldn't make it up!

Can't be true...otherwise he'd have been complaining that no red card was given by the weak and naive ref

While all us non-Chelsea fans are enjoying Maureen getting a taste of his own medicine - and long may it continue - if he survives sacking (think he will), Chelsea are only 8 points behind 5th place so I still expect a top 5 finish. City barely played well in any games last season (and caught up 9 points in one run) and came 2nd, so I can easily see 5th or above for Chelsea...too much quality not to get it together at some stage.

Maureen could do with taking a page out of Pellegrini's book - say nothing meaningful, keep calm, while sorting out the mess behind closed doors.

I've never seen the FOC (copyright Alan Pardew, 2015) get in this much of a mess though.

You seem to have forgotten quickly the knifes were out for a good part of last season, especially after the April defeat at Old Trafford (top 4 place was in jeopardy), media was picking FOC's replacement from Klopp and others, but he turned the slump around. Chelsea/Maureen just have to ignore the media's crowing for blood, and quietly sort it out. Someone needs to tell Maureen to be the Quiet One, circle the wagons and sort it out.

Mourinho lurches from one crisis to another without any visible attempt to remedy the situation. It's as though he wants the flak to continue unabated but to what end is mystifying. It just might be that he's messed up because his dad is seriously ill back in Portugal.

Now that makes sense. He has been looking like he's on a knife's edge and distressed for some time.

No Stokmortem?

A couple of weeks away from the club could be the answer JD. While he's in this mood, he's a pain up the a*** to everyone at the club.

Maureen's body language analysed.

guess today is crunch time . a loss will possiblely see C/L place go out the window

very confident of the opposite,as our last three matchs,have shown a marked improvement

as for MY SPECIAL ONE,S tenure ,do hope roman keeps backing him for the rest of the season, irrespective of todays result

the special one is still arquably the best mngr in the world, sure this season he has made more blunders, then stealing the usual thunder

and the filthy brit tabaliods,have been asking for his blood,on his first wretched run in anywhere that he has managed

its time for him to get c/sea out of shitters ditch, no better time to start, then today

GO CHELSEA!!!!!!!!

Costa at it AGAIN and the ref didn't spot it.

Let's hope the FA act.

He really is an a---hole.

I'd reckon if Mou is not gone Monday one more loss ought to do it. Plummeting like a stone now.

Yes, he should have walked for that. I'm surprised that MS let it go at that with a handshake

Bout time the useless one was let go isn't it.

Where's shakin Stevens with his diatribe round up.

Well his ute has broken down in shitters ditch of course.

Not chosen, not special, soon to be not employed

Not chosen, not special, soon to be not employed

Let's not be hasty...give him a full season to fight for survival in the Premiership.

How do you kick Mourinho when he is down?.....Bring on Dejan Lovren

It was really suprising to see Chelsea, after going 1 up deciding to retreat so early against a team that can't score goals.

I couldn't believe the time and space given for the 2nd and 3rd goals.

I can't fathom how a title winning team can fall so heavily in such a short period of time.

Truly spectacular, honestly thought 2 or 3 games and normal business would resume.

Didn't see it. What did he do this time?

Another one of his petulant afters.

Hes been sacked .

Sky quoting "sources" that he is not imminently on the way out.

Can we look forward to more posts MM now that Pool are doing better?

Where's shakin Stevens with his diatribe round up.

again whats your point????

feel free to discuss my posts anytime,

instead of the constant unnesscary baiting ,that behind the back merchants engage

man up stony boy or fluff off

the scoreline and performance reflect our mood

roman,s has no other option but to dimiss mou,

6 defeats in 11 matchs would test the patience of any owner

hiddink in , pepe lined up for next season is E/S call

its still a beautiful morning

I thought Mourinho's post match Sky "interview" was pathetic. How can a grown man behave that way? If nothing else he owes it to the fans to give his opinions on the game.

Regards the game, if only the other Chelsea players put in a shift like Willian......

I'd reckon if Mou is not gone Monday one more loss ought to do it. Plummeting like a stone now.

Other than Wenger, no other manager in the Premier League would have lasted this long with the results we've had. Mourinho is clinging by his fingertips on his previous successes and the fact that there isn't a viable replacement available now.

Mourinho's post match 'interview' with Sky was indicative of a man under enormous stress. He had nothing to say because he knew his side had been second best throughout the game, and he couldn't bring himself to say it. As far as I'm concerned, this season is finished so let's forget about the top four finish rubbish . There are better teams vying for those spots so Mourinho should concentrate on what he said at the start of his present tenure, which was to stay at the club long term and rebuild.

I cant disclose any more information

Liverpool just wanted it more,deserved winners, that's what Klopp has installed into the team in his short term.Chelsea looked like they were playing with 9 men.

Moanrinho's first interview, I saw on 365 sports coverage was, "I have nothing to say" he said it about 10 times.

An insult to fans and followers of the game and even to the media who have an obligation to conduct interviews.The interviewer was very patient and respectful.

He may still have the dressing room,which I doubt, but its not being reflected on the pitch.Hazard is just going through the motions and Terry's shattered look at the final whistle

was almsot saying I will never get another contract here, and he won't. I said at the end of last season this back 4 won't last another season. Terry and Cahill are now just

unable to cope with speed and it would have been worse if Ivanovic had been playing.No longer, as Rio Ferdinand found, can you extend your career at this level.

Back to JM his comment during the week was the ultimate hypocrisy, which only he can muster, when he said he hated managers losing their jobs referring to Rogers.

This the same man that sacked Dr Eva for just doing her job. That incident of petulance won't go away.

Finally maybe Lucas should have seen red. But the cowardly kick by Costa, which went unnoticed ,may be revisited by the FA which will be the the subject of another

attack of paranoia by the unspecial one

^ more interested in Chelsea than your own team's recent stellar performances...
