cary hill Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I see Mourinho has started the season well - skilfully pirouetting his way out of a handshake with Wenger and then unfairly attacking his own club Doctor in public and then banning her from the bench in future. He's all class that man.......not......after several seasons his petulant and childish outbursts and behaviour are wearing thin especially when he gets it horrendously wrong. I hope this doctor thing isn't another one of his pathetic mind games to keep the Chelsea "team" off the back pages after two carp results so far and Manchester City away up next. but I can reveal Chelsea's plan for the Etihad will be the same as in previous seasons: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I used to respect Mourinho as a brilliant manager. Now I have lost all that respect. Last season it was his disgraceful defence of his team's constant diving and the belief that all referees are against him. The latter belief has clearly continued and his behaviour towards the club doctor is a joke. Incidentally I question the recent F.A decision following Mourinho's arrogant attempt to appeal the red card given to Courtois on Saturday. The sending off was clearly correct and the F.A were correct to uphold the original decision. However in seasons gone by smaller clubs have seen their players hit with an additional game on the original ban for what has been considered a pointless or "frivolous" appeal. Surely Chelsea's attempt to overturn the Courtois red falls squarely into such a category and as such the goalkeeper should now be facing a two game ban instead of one. The one rule for smaller clubs and one for bigger clubs clearly still exists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I guess the Chelsea players are going to have to do without familiar medical support for the rest of this season... Meanwhile, it looks like nobody wants to take on Joey Barton, football's equivalent of Morrissey, but without the musical talent.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

br2975 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I used to respect Mourinho as a brilliant manager. The man's a t*t ! . He talks twaddle . His only saving grace is he's a pretty good manager - but then with Abramovich's money, I could be a good manager as well................ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted August 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2015 in complete contrast looks like Koeman and Southampton are quietly doing some good business again. I think they have the making of a quality squad there, especially if we can get van Dijk from Celtic, so I'm reasonably optimistic about the coming season. That's the kiss of death then.....

cary hill Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Well done West Ham. The cost of an "away" ticket for Saturday's match has increased from £25 last season to an inflation busting £45*. They must be practising ripping-off ready for their move to the old Olympic Stadium. * only Chelsea (£50) and Man.Utd (£46) were more expensive last season.

cary hill Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Leicester continuing their form from the end of last season. Gary Lineker will be getting excited. Unbelievable to win on our last ever League visit to the Boleyn..... only the second time we've won at West Ham since 1966. Bit of a siege though with only 30% possession, but I suppose it's what you do with that possession which is more important. That's 28 points won of the last 33 available in the Premiership. Good to temporarily replace that rather dull Manchester outfit at the top of the Premiership. More realistically that's 15% (6) of the points we need to survive in the Premiership. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was entirely frivolous (yes, I'm a Chelsea fan, but bear with me!), although as appeals go, it wasn't the best. There was a slight argument for Courtois' foul being on the edge of the box, not in it, and another slight argument that the covering defender stopped it being a "clear goalscoring opportunity" (despite the pundits trying to tell us otherwise, there's no reference in the rules to "last man"), so the offence at least merited another look. If it had been a vicious foul, rather than a really poorly-timed challenge, then I agree that the appeal would have been without merit, but as it stands, I think it was optimistic, yes, but not frivolous.

Can't believe they will sell many of those. Could be worse - from the days when Coventry City were quite good: *At least you could wear that Everton shirt on a casual basis when visiting Sellafield without looking out of place, whereas wearing the Coventry shirt you'd just look like.........wherever you went. *Having just seen MOTD those green shirts look more look more like something you could pick up at an army surplus store for a fiver and without the foul orange sponsor's logo. Good "camo" though, which explains the 3-0 win. Edited because the shirts are actually worse "in the flesh" than the brochure shots made them appear.

Whilst I take your point about the covering defender, the foul was in the box, or at least on the line which counts as being part of the penalty area. Looking at the pictures of the Southampton game, whoever thought that it was a good idea to have a slime-green away strip? Can't believe they will sell many of those. Derby actually had a slime green shirt the year they reached the League Cup semi final a few seasons ago. It was dreadful, I didn't buy one although my wife bought it for me as a Valentine's gift.
