Chelsea only have a 23man squad as they cant provide 8 locally trained players

[ame]https://twitter.com/indyfootball/status/642251240496345088[/ame]......Manager Jose Mourinho confirms that goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois needs knee surgery and will be "out for quite a long time".

Great news

[Liverpel]

At least they have Cech as back up.


Don't they?

ffs! If City hadn't been bought by them ****ers we'd be Champions by now!

edit: worng thread i suppose, but i was just thinking about Courtios being out, and thinking about taking advantage of rivals having problems, so many Titles have been won by teams playing ordinary consistant football, as their rivals drop points where they shouldn't; or suffer with injuries or form, timing can be a key fact in winning a title when you maybe don't have the best squad or haven't played the best football.

When on gods good earth will that timing come right for us!? Sooooo close! Once with Rafa and once with Brendan we have finished 2nd while being the team that played the best football over the respective seasons. Stinks! Both seasons imo we deserved to be Champions, yes i know the table doesn't lie, well, on those occasions it should have!

I'd say Begović is a perfectly capable understudy.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says it was not his decision to sign defender Papy Djilobodji, 26, from Nantes on transfer deadline day. (Independent)

[BigChief]

This gets better and better. All our rival club fans peed off with their transfer window inaction while we quietly applaud ours. Plus Mourinho just blamed his players for playing crap which has put them in this position. Good times.

[el matador]

mourinho about to sack his entire sports science team. their pre-season was changed to make sure they were fitter towards the end but undercooked at the start.

if man city win today, this title is already over.

[fidget]

who's he going to blame today?

[Fosterbloke]

who's he going to blame today?

Everton would be good start
