    Mou to Conte at the end of the match:
    "with the supporters, in my opinion, you do that on 1-0 not when you are winning 4-0... it's an humiliation for us"
    This was regarding Conte firing up Chelsea supporters near the end of the match.

    It's really important for the whole of football that he fails. Nothing personal.

    I love Morgan but the difference between Morgan/Victor and Oriol/Pierre-Emile is that both of the latter do both of the roles, i.e. they both enforce and they can both set up attacks. I'm not saying Morgan couldn't do both but it would take him a long time to get up to the level we play at nowadays. That's the tragedy of Morgan's move.

    Jose may be right on one level +choke+, but a bit patronising of Mourinho to talk to Conte like that.

    Arsenal (as I've said deep back in pre-season, before they'd bought anyone - I'm not a revisionist, unlike most professional TV punters, who seems to change their choice as the season progresses and hope no one notices).

    I predicted Arsenal too, more out the fact I didn't think anyone else had enough to go that far.

    I said Chelsea, and until today that looked way off the mark. They are improving, and they look dangerous.

    Still think that City is the heavy favourite. As poor of a stretch as they've had, they are first, and they will get their feet back under them.

    Without a doubt. And their next four PL games are WBA, Boro, Palace and Burnley. They could run riot.

    (Over that same four game period, you also have Arsenal v Spurs, Man Utd v Arsenal, Chelsea v Everton, and Chelsea v Spurs)

    Not even in the squad, is he injured or just so far down?

    Classed as injured, but clearly not rated above others.

    Then we should put in a cheeky bid in January, he would certainly add to the team, Sneiders> Clasie purely because he can shoot and score off the bonze

    Love Morgan, but he's gone now. Paid too much, perhaps even too much pride for a return. Hope he finds a new home somewhere, top lad.

    I'd have him back in a heartbeat. And I'd play him ahead of Davis and Clasie every day. He's one of my favourite players to ever pull on a shirt. We shouldn't forget that even though he moved on, he was absolutely fantastic for us as we were for him. He was one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. And he could score.

    Does anyone remember that season that Mourinho managed Chelsea all the way into the relegation positions? :biggrin: If Utd go on a losing streak he could easily lose the dressing room again.

    Wish it weren't true, but he is most likely to go to Everton or Spurs if anywhere.
