If Hazard was not sufficiently injured to require treatment then it is he who is in the wrong for having the ref summon the doctor onto the pitch and not getting to his feet and continuing.
 
Mourinho has forced himself into a corner. Even Chelsea fans seem fed up with all his whinging and thinking he is right at all times. Really don't know how he get's himself out of this without conceding he was wrong and apologizing. Which I really can't see him doing. I think he will just constantly ignore the questions on it, and walk out if they don't change the subject.
 
Mourinho has become a hundred times more obnoxious in his second term at Chelsea, but he did manage the spoilt brat of clubs in the footballing world.
 
3 Class Leeds Academy players we could snatch again. Alex Cook scored. He looks amazing, and Alex Mowatt is playing. he is also quality. Then obviously there is Sam Byman, who is on the bench tonight being rested.
 
What a fantastic Man United goal!Januzaj was awesome in the build up and the composure to finish. Been linked with a loan move to Sunderland. What a prospect.
 
How on earth is Jamie Cureton still scoring goals in the football league?
 
We'll be watching the Liverpool game in a minute. Surman is playing, be interesting to see how well he will do this season. If NCFC weren't in the Premier League I'd be rooting for Bournemouth, but these are the team we need to lose sadly.
 
Bournemouth looks so comfortable and confident on the ball again this season. Even against Liverpool. I think they will be a team most people will want to stay up, and I think they might.

Haha, knew a goal would come soon after that. I think against the lower sides Bournemouth have got a few points and goals in them. Benteke was a great signing for Pool.

Bournemouth have been robbed. Their disallowed goal was as bad a call as Jerome's, and Coutinho was stood offside for Benteke's goal, and definitely moved towards the ball. The new offside rules should have ruled it out.

Yep! Good to see the Premiership never changes! Big teams must get given at least 10 points a season by bias officials.

It's not like it was even debatable that coutinho was influencing play. His leg was fully stretched out, inches from contact. Really poor ref. Bournemouth look good, I'm glad we are starting the season with a number of easier fixtures to let us (hopefully) get up to speed and build some confidence with a few good results.

AND Boruc clearly got drawn to Coutinho AND the linesman had a clear view

Shocking FFS
 
Logically i suppose we should really be wanting to the smaller teams to get battered by the big boys, but when you see decisions like that time and again and know it's our team that will be next I can't support anyone other than the unfashionable minnow
