This is not a game of quality.
nailed on penalty in a boring game....palace look totally incapable.
and i am sorry to say it but that spurs side looks much better than us even without Bale
Old Man Phillips :doh:.
Phillips is old
Soldado off, Defoe on.
Haven't had that impression at all. Little guile there now.Quote:

They haven't played well but look like getting the job done in a tricky game away to a promoted side.
4th is theirs
So close!
Lloris saves, twice from Pikachu or whatever his name is.
Oh no not in terms of creativity but in terms of solidity.....we looked about as stable as one of my feeble attempts to cook an omletteQuote:

Pika Pi
Certainly they're going down the power route. Not sure that's a great idea really, teams will park the bus routinely. Granted we're not in a great position to judge right now but I'd be very surprised if we didn't finish above them - I am expecting we will buy some randomers that will do a job of some degree.Quote:

Fuck off Mourinho
but the thing is when you bed in new players you normally find yourself grinding out results even against poor opposition until the new players have settled and you start having the confidence to start attacking teams.
What we totally failed to do at the Emirates yesterday, as soon as we scored Villa were using their pace to try and force their way back into the game now if Wenger could get over his hubris and delusion and had any kind of tactical nous he would have encouraged the players to drop back for a bit and take the sting out of the game and a side like Villa which isn't great at possession football would not have much joy against our back four if it sat back deeper....and we could have been patience and looked to kill the game off second half.....wouldn't have been pretty but it would have been the best way to deal with the current situation.
But in Wenger's mind the team are world beaters and we can simply try and impose our passing game on anyone at home and come out victorious and this is why we were made to look bloody stupid.
Lampard and Terry playing
I thought Mourinho was meant to be intelligent

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Lampard, Ramires, De Bruyne, Oscar, Hazard, Torres.
Subs: Essien, Mata, Schurrle, van Ginkel , Lukaku, Ba, Schwarzer.
Hull: McGregor, Elmohamady, Chester, Davies, Figueroa, Brady, Meyler, Koren, Sagbo, Graham, Aluko.
Subs: Rosenior, Bruce, Huddlestone, Livermore, McShane, Boyd, Harper.
Referee: Jon Moss (W Yorkshire)
Slightly embarrassing that every single one of those Chelsea players on the bench would comfortably be in our first team
De Bruyne belts it, over.
Pelanty to Chelsea.
McGregor. :haha:
Just punched him in the face. :haha:
McGregor saves it!
Frank. :haha:
Honest Frank :haha:.
Serves you right Torres you fucking CHEAT!
Hull City Tigers getting ripped apart.
Hope Chelsea win by 3 clear goals so we are out of the relegation zone.
Hazard. :haha:
Hazard :haha:.
De Bruyne looks kwhality.
Oscar. :haha:
Hope Hull win by 3 clear goals tbf.Quote:

The best Chelsea have ever played under Mourinho?
De Bruyne is a bit good.
Good save from McGregor to deny Honest Frank.
Chelsea not buying an established, classy, reliable strike to complement their creative talent is almost as negligent as our whole transfer policy.
Mata, Hazard and Schurrle's goals will probably compensate for the lumps up front though.
