Trolling or not, Mourinho got it spot on again, you cannot fault him for that.

I said that earlier. You do not have to win pretty you just need to win.

 

[Vladamir]

Exactly, apparently covering yourself in glorious failure is a more socially acceptable prospect than watching your team win an important game, herp derp.

 

[soze]

I suppose if I had to choose between a season ticket watching Liverpool playing at their best for 19 games and winning nothing, or watching Chelsea play like that every week and winning the league I would pick Liverpool. But it is not every week he does it when he needs too and that is just smart.

 

[Billargh]

Stop trying to do a Mourinho man, Vlad.

You should call up Wenger and tell him that...

Looks like Barcelona are dropping away.

Before the two own goals anyway

The second one being funny as hell.

Quality finish, a bit like Coleman's yesterday.

I was well wrong it seems, Villa have sort of folded.

Alves, normally a knob but;

There's a lot of that around.

 

[Scouse]

Gah. Two buses parked. City win.

They will stay up, just. They don't appear to show much ambition though...again.

I was technically referring to Villarreal in the game against FC Barcelona but in reality it works for Villa as well

Seems fireworks have little effect on buses

 

[Gwadien]

Good man.

 

[Embattle]

Just for those who don't know a banana was thrown on the pitch and he picked it up and ate it, I thought it was great

Shit, I missed that, I thought it was the linesman coming out.

Getting really tired of the phrase "parked the bus".

Agree, but as long as Chelski aren't interested in attacking hard then it's gonna happen a lot...

Which was never going to happen yesterday, plus parallel parking buses is hard

 

[Scouse]

Shame on chelski tbh.

Anti football might be nice if you only support a team for the silverware but from a neutral point of view who enjoys football for what it is, Chelsea are one of the most depressing teams in Europe. The instructed time wasting pretty much sums Maureen's play style up these days. Its no surprise that they have to hand flags out for people to wave at Stamford Bridge...I would be bored rigid having to watch that crap week in week out.

Obviously Maureen didn't have much choice. He would have been raped if he had tried to play open football. But so would West ham. Chelsea fully deserved the win but both goals were from pretty rare cock ups and it was clear Maureen was playing for 0.0.

Required due to circumstances.

Not really. Why come and all out attack when you are going to get a hiding? It is Liverpool's job to find a way through. I think it is boring too but they got 3 points it was the correct way to play for them.

What an article that is Emb. Betrays itself in the opening sentence.

in the flesh the Chelsea manager's mastery of the defensive disciplines is quite a spectacle

A fucking boring "spectacle".

Chelski win fair and square. 100% agree with that. But it's also totally fair to label them a boring side - because that is what they are.

 

[Ch3tan]

Oh look, scousers now think they are barca or Bayern. Maureen's hypocrisy aside, there is nothing wrong with the tactics he played, boring for the neutral but it's what you have to do against a side that plays like that. Deal with it.

Playing in the counter and having the discipline in the team to hold their shape is not easy, stop being bitter arseholes because your team couldn't deal with it.
