Chelsea

[Shaggy]

What's going on at Chelsea? Terry and Ivanovic didn't just turn old last week out of the blue. There's some Real Madrid dressing room sh*t going down I reckon.

I kind of agree too. This was always coming with Terry so that doesn't surprise me, he's 34 after all. Ivanovic has always been slow but so far he looks like he has lead in his boots. This third season thing with Mourinho is mad...it's as if all the conflict, all the total BS, takes its toll on the players and his shtick becomes old pretty quickly.

Wasn't it rumoured that he fell out with Terry in the 3rd season last time around too?

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out with Terry, you get the feeling he's got a lot of influence in that dressing room

[Shaggy]

That would be some power struggle. I wonder who the Chelsea fans would side with? I reckon mostly Terry tbh.

I dunno the blind love they have for "the special one" is bewildering the guy it seems can do no wrong.

I think more interestingly will be how big Roman sits with all this, I don't think he was a huge fan of the Mourinho antics last time around and you could imagine Terry has been earmarked for "moving upstairs" at some point.

Regardless it's great to see Chelsea in a bit of disarray

how long till we see the first 'come back Rafa' banner at chelsea

I've no idea where Mourinho would go after Chelsea perhaps international football?

As an odd aside, I noticed that Terry is the president (or something) for the Womens FA. Him, the 13th Duke of Wimbourne, with his reputation, what are they thinking?

Isn't Terry, Abramovich's favourite player? A three way power struggle makes for interesting reading.

It's not a crisis as such at Chelsea, but there are rumblings. I despise Mourinho as much as the next man, but throwing your toys out of the pram in such a big game (subbing Terry and making a duff substitution in Cuadrado) is beyond petty. Especially as he made the substitution at 1-0 when Remy or Falcao would have been the obvious choice when chasing a goal. It's all very much guess work, but fancy having the pig stubbornness to make substitutions in a game to make a statement to the owner, rather than concentrating on the actual game.

Some Ex-Bayern Munich player was singing Jose's praises the other day and saying he'd be welcome at Bayern Munich

Alienate reliable players and spend a fortune bringing in replacements .

Since he's been back and how many of these actually form part of the first team ?

The only decent buys in that lot are Begovic, Matic, Fabregas, Zouma and Diego (last season).

Fabregas and Diego look **** this season so far.

And we can add Pedro to the list now

Mancs will be spitting.

For a club of Man United's size it seems as though they're constantly being cunted in the transfer market.
