I really hope this is a windup but here goes; Seriously, who thinks it was a mistake to sack Ranieri? Mourinho's era following Ranieri's is the most successful in the club's history. If anybody wants Mourinho gone at this stage they need their nut testing.
At the time I didn't agree with Ranieri's sacking, but in hindsight, who can argue against it, since we got Jose and back to back titles. Didn't agree with Jose's sacking, nor Grants, completely agreed with Scolari's sacking, Hiddink and Rafa were Interim so they dont count, agreed with AVB sacking, was mixed on RDM. Deffo Scolari and AVB had to go, they were dreadful, no doubt about it.
Yet your thread is headed 'Now **** off'. So clearly you do want him to leave but probably on hindsight realise the thread looks ridiculous.
I think it is the other way round, the twatish behaviour is because of the poor form. As Martinez said, "When he beat us 6-3 last season he was such a nice man. I prefer him like that." I just don't think he can handle losing - although to be fair he's not had much experience.
Most winners are bad losers to be fair; Fergie was awful. But Jose certainly seems frustrated. I think it's a combination of factors though. Transfer window, internal issues, lack of form of previously trusted players and the results combined.
hindsight is end of season. Maybe this thread will be ridiculous. But I don't see Jose continuing at this rate.
Know what you mean, but It seems like something more than results has upset "the grumpy one" this time. There is something deeply troubling ( to Chelsea supporters) happening off the pitch right now, and Jose is right in the thick of it, thats why so many of us are a bit spring loaded at the moment. That said, he is a lousy loser all right, but I see that side of his personality as a "plus".
Raineri has/had way too much class for a club like Chelsea. Same with Ancelotti and Avram. They got a lucky escape.
we did struggle to score, but were never under any pressure from the goons when 11 v 11. even Rio acknowledged same on Twitter. We were better when 11 v 11.
Well hope after this week we all calm down a bit. Improvement from captain ivanovic, fabregas, and hazard. Midfield played well. Costa...did a job lol. Begovic untested. Zouma coming on leaps and bounds. Rlc got mins mid week too...(not to mention city had back to back losses). Things are looking up
The Smug One may have lost a lot of his shine, over recent weeks, but you cannot deny the fact that he knows how to outwit Wenger, when it really matters!
