Ivanovic was instrumental in their title win last season, ( he was in the PFA team of the year ) and was outed as shagging the good Dr Eva during the summer. Now he has been utter tripe this season and has been dropped, coincidence? I think not. Rumours that the Dr turned down Moanrino's advances as well. I would imagine this is more likely the destablising element rather than some doping programme thats about to break in the media
Just did a double take. "Sinus". Thank goodness.
It wasn't the Vicks that destroyed what you thought it was...
You are laughing at those comments he made - but I actually think this is a good analysis of the situation, and underlines my own feelings that most of the players in this league are not really of a high quality. I don't think there is any one player who stands out in that team - in his first stint at Chelsea he had two real defense breakers in Duff, and Robben who were constant threats in games - and both played at a level that was high AND their NORMAL level. The current crop of Chelsea players are good but like Jose says - they played above their natural levels to win the title last year, and maybe they really cannot do it when faced with determined opposition.
That defence is for explaining why they would be third or fourth. Certainly not around the relegation zone. There is something much deeper happening at that club to explain their current level of performance.
Agreed there is something seriously wrong behind the scenes. Wasn't there a poll on here at the start of the season which player you'd most like to sign and a majority went for Matic. Since then he's been shite, it's obvious he doesn't want to play for the manager.
When you seen Mourinho out with his 18 year old daughter with her tits hanging out you knew he'd lost it.

Yes but that probably said as much about us as it did them.
friend with contacts there says after this weekend regardless of result he's gone ...
Considering the internal turmoil (Costa's mockery of the defense at Leicester, Cesc's slamming of the attitude etc), maybe that's what they need ... Jose and '3rd seasons' ...
Nah, they need to give him til the end of the season.
Please, please give him until the end of the season.

Emergency board meeting today apparently. Cue "Funeral March" music.
Wonder who they'll fetch in.

Jose Mourinho is a Footballing Genius.
I'm not sure there has ever been such a fall from grace for a manager before and I'm surprised by his complete inability to turn this around.
He's now completely alliented the squad so I think I'd understand them getting rid. The problem they've got is that the only world-class manager available has already been sacked by them.
It's beautiful all round.

Rafa / Jose swap
Claudio Ranieri would be sweet.
For him, certainly. I suspect he'd tell them with some relish where they could stick their job.
All depends on Pep and Bayern, I supppose. If he says bye to Munich, that would probably mean Ancelotti would be in there.
There doesn't seem to be lots of obvious options really, which is why I think they will give him to the end of the season, and maybe hope for Simeone.
Whatever happens, this is great to watch at the moment. Long may it continue.

If there was any justice it would be our old friend Gary Staker. Aside from sounding like a space hero in a Gerry Anderson sci-fi super-marionette show, he's the cockroach of the club, starting as a steward, then surviving that George Costanza-style debacle of being Ranieri's in-house translator even though he clearly only had a vague grasp of holiday Italian, and then reinventing himself as an all-purpose 'liaison' officer, always standing near the dugout with a look that suggests 'They still haven't realised I'm here!'
Do it - make him manager!

Actually, maybe even Brendan Rodgers. Parachuted in to rescue the ailing Chelsea billionaires!
It would be no madder than employing Benitez as interim coach. At least they don't hate Rodgers as much, given his previous Chelsea links.

Ha ha. Can people remember that classic moment on MOTD when Ranieri spoke excitedly in Italian for about two minutes, and then Staker, sweating profusely, merely said, 'Um, er, he said 'It was a game of two halves'"? It was the moment the club realised the buffoon had no idea at all what the boss was saying. I wish it was on YouTube.
