    To be honest in this game he looks a little too fat to cause Chelsea any problems...

    Besides Arsenals corner takers!

    Though why the hell did they take a short corner in the final seconds of a game? Still I wanted a draw

    Looks like Mourinho is sulking and hiding from the press coz his team played poorly (or as he likes to put it 'there's a campaign against the 'little horse')

    he's decided that he doesn't like the press, so he's now refusing to meet them. showing his true class now. if the FA weren't so afraid of him they would throw the book at him for this.

    That's not very fair really I think they should be able to replay the game when both players are back

    Yeah, that would be fairer but only if the City players were still missing and Kompany still rusty <ok>

    Given that they played 120 minutes in mid-week and they were missing two very influential players, you'd have to say it is a much better result for Chelsea than for City. City are still in the race for the title, but they were rarely going to get a better opportunity to beat Chelsea and they couldn't put them away.

    Chelsea maintain a five point lead at the top & have played most of the big games away from home. Unfortunately I still think Chelsea will win the title.

    I'm sure there are rules on Managers giving interviews to the press. I'm sure Fergie's long running battle with the BBC cost him thousands in fines ? As for Mourinho, the guy is a grade A prick. He is a coward for dodging the press and he's gone all tin foil hat on them because of his paranoid 'campaign'. He did the same thing with Real and the spanish press after he had a string of bad results out there, this time he hasn't even got the excuse of hiding because they are losing.

    Chelsea were under the kosh yesterday were lucky to come away with a point, but Chelsea are still 5 pts clear so there's no excuse to avoid the media. It just demonstrates that Maureen is a ****ing diva because he can't even face up to being told that Chelsea were lucky to come away with a point. <diva>

    Chelsea sell shurrle and buy cuadrado, likely salad will go to Italy in return. Two wingers out one in, they will be hoping for improved quality but could it leave them with a lack of depth? I think it's probably good business from them.

    Chelsea are brilliantly efficient in the transfer window, they get rid of two squad players who contributed very little this season and buy one of the stars of the 2014 World Cup, who is the perfect player for their style.

    How many times have Salah and Schurrle actually played this season. For those 2 guys (Salah in particular) its a case of Mourinho stalling a very talented young players development because he has no faith in players improving with game time.

    So the ol' Wheeler Dealer 'Arry has gone then.

    Surprised he lasted as long as he did, or that they didn't sack him

    You know you're a fraud when your philosophy revolves around playing Fellaini as CF and relying on Route 1 footy at home against Cambridge ****ing United.

    For impending knee op read : That **** Fernandez wouldn't let me spend any more cash so decided to **** off in a wobbly chop strop. But it's okay because I'll nab the Bournemouth job when they get promoted and then we'll try and sign Messi'

    Its crazy he went into a team full of internationals, a huge pot of money to spend and a squad worth more than a third of the prem teams - and promptly got them relegated.

    He then was average in the championship despite far exceeding the budget of other teams (wasting shedloads on samba!) - result? scrapping promotion.

    He then proceeds to lose most of his games this season, wasting more money and then after wasting the jan window hes allowed to walk, so the next manager has no tine to bring in new players!
