It's truly fuçking sickening. Not necessarily because the ref got it wrong, but for Ramires' blatant, cynical success in conning him. It was the last-ditch, desperate attempt at getting an undeserved point, spying a defender coming his way, trailing his leg and throwing himself into him, and it fuçking worked. Mourinho's comments are a disgrace.

chelsea are classless, what do u expect

posted on 9/11/13

Mourinho is prck anyway, would not expect anything more from him. The only thing worse than the penalty are the feeble attempts justifying it. Chelsea are one of the most physical sides in the league yet the simulation by the likes of Ramires, Ivanovic, is diabolical. I'm not even talking about today and I'm talking generally. Bunch of pretentious arsholes.

The most physical side in the league have you seen our players?

posted on 9/11/13

Yes, I saw Ivanovic rolling on the floor as if he had been shot. It was quite pathetic actually. I saw Terry flat on the deck after Long gave him a nudge him in the back. Cashley, Ramires, Luiz all particularly good at rolling around on the floor feigning injury.

Your players are not too bad at hacking people down either, perhaps they should become lumberjacks

Read again. I said 'one of the most physical'.

Oh and the time wasting your boys did today was almost perfect, it was just a shame Long couldn't have walked a little slower and took more time clapping to all 4 corners of the stadium and we may not even have had to talk about the penalty that broke your heart

Babyfaces like Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Willian, De Bruyne, Schurrle, Ramires, Azpi and Bertrand are physical guys?

Your just reeling off a bunch of players who are small. Do you play all of those players in one game?

Chelsea's success in recent years is based on a physicial spine to the team that are hard first and foremost to break down which is waht Mourinho created. Even with all those names you reeled off your not a fantastic footballing side. Your still an efficient unit that scrapes out points.

Our success almost a decade ago you must have missed the massive squad overhaul we've had in the past 3 years

posted on 9/11/13

Squad overhaul yes but you play the same way now as you played 5 years ago. Maybe you thought the rest of us thought Chelsea were some samba stylists but we don't. Even with Mata Oscar Hazard etc Chelsea are funtional, they are not free flowing.

Just because you have a bunch of no10's. that doesn't make you not a physical team all of a sudden. Man City are a physical side yet still make room for Silva, Aguero, Nasri.

Not having physical players do though our midfield is a joke the only physical part of our team is defence

posted on 9/11/13

Ramires, Essien, Mikel, Lampard. Why are these players still at Chelsea? Because they are 'Mourinho' type players who are either physical, combative, who won't be outmuscled when you play the Stoke's/West Ham's and won't be ran over when you play the better and more technical, teams in Europe.

Chelsea are a physical presence.

Ramires looks anorexic, Essien (who doesn't even play for us bar League cup matches) and Lampard are so slow their strength is irrelevant and Mikel is one of the least physically imposing "strong" players we have

posted on 9/11/13

If they are slow why is strength irrelevant? I'm not talking about their speed, I'm talking about their physical attributes. That's why Mourinho still uses them.

posted on 9/11/13

Mourinho doesn't use Essien though and the reason speed matters is because Lampard is too busy puffing for breath trying to catch up with play that he can't find enough time to "get stuck in"

posted on 9/11/13

Essien still plays for Chelsea though. Even if its only League Cup games, Mourinho still uses him. Likewise Lampard still plays for 60 minutes a game. And being physical doesn't necessarily mean getting ''stuck in'. It means they are good at doing the physical part of their job.

posted on 10/11/13

Well their physicality clearly means crap then if every team in the league can dominate us there

posted on 10/11/13

Well. Thats cleared that up then.

1. Chelsea don't like it 'up 'em'
2. Strong physical games are not allowed at the Bridge.
3. If all else fails, pretend you've been fouled in the box.

Seems to be about right...

posted on 10/11/13

Credit to Ramires for riding the challenges to get in the box in the first place, everyone else who had tried had been hacked down

posted on 10/11/13

Marco. More importantly, from a Chelsea pov, questions need to be asked as to how one of the most expensive teams on the planet managed to 'roll over and have their tummy tickled' by an team of mainly freebies.
Motd summed it up perfectly for all to see...

The moment you stopped hacking down our players so they could actually approach the goal we were getting chances left right and center and your players were shítting themselves

posted on 10/11/13

You couldn't score though, could you? Baggies fault?

Like i said, if all else fails......

posted on 10/11/13

If you fluke 2 goals time waste and kick the shít out the other team, and if all else fails and they get a goal back cry all weekend and beg for attention from the media that the big baddies broke your heart
