The only reason he's still in the job is his pay off is enough to make Romans eyes water. He's sacked people for less. His behaviour of late is really odd and are the actions of a man cracking under the pressure or looking for the exit door in my opinion. I think if we get to the Christmas period and there still in the bottom half, then the alarm bells will be ringing. He needs to stop blaming everyone but himself and his players. This current spell he's under reminds me of Moyes, the difference is he has better players than Moyes had but its the same thing. Players don't have a clue what the manager wants from them.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on facing Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp: "Liverpool are a good team. They had a very good manager. Now they have a very good new manager.
"Jurgen is not a close friend because football doesn’t normally allow that. But I like him a lot and we have a good relationship. As a manager his work speaks.
"Despite last season I consider him one of the top managers in Europe."
Chelsea striker Diego Costa will not face disciplinary action after appearing to kick out at Liverpool's Martin Skrtel in Saturday's 3-1 defeat - according to English Football Association sources.
Referee Mark Clattenburg is understood to have seen the incident and opted against issuing a caution, meaning there can be no retrospective sanction by the authorities.
The two players had fallen to the ground after a challenge by Spanish international Costa.
"I think it is a clear red card," former World Cup final referee Howard Webb said. "He commits a foul on Martin Skrtel, then there is a little kick. The second action is a clear act of violent conduct. Diego Costa is a lucky boy."
Fucking pathetic from the FA, again. Ref acts like a wanker, doesn't get punished because they want to keep the integrity of Refs. Meanwhile, fans of every other club now regard Clattenburg as an even worse twat than before and respect him even less.

Good stuff FA. Keep it up.

Could do with a few more Howard Webb's around nowadays.
sooo... according to TSF the player leading the mutiny at chelsea is none other than mr. cesc fabregas.
apparently unhappy at the style of play employed under mourinho, didn't he say that mourinho was the contributing factor in him choosing them over us under moyes? also, hadn't he ever watched a match in which a team managed by mourinho was involved? i mean, he played against mourinho's real 4 times a season, how could that possibly have been a shock to him?
