Chelsea have to the biggest bunch of sore losers (or in this case drawers) I have ever seen. It's pathetic.
 
Chelsea's bitter tears are hilarious, but when did we get to this point that teams are meant to play the way the opposition wants? It's so ****ing irritating to hear Luiz moan about Burnleys' tactics - boo hoo, they didn't come piling forward so we could score more goals.

Maybe I'm senile and it's always been that way, but it's pathetic to hear club representatives make an argument that basically boils down to "we hate them, they didn't let us win."

They were just annoyed the ref and lino didn't give them an offside goal.
 
Fans often moan about negative football, but no team has to play to suit the opposition. Teams at the bottom value every point and staying in the EPL is arguably of more importance than the fight at the top from a financial point of view. Chelsea are where they deserve to be.....no one owes it to them.

This is the crux of the “big club” mentality which has pervaded football since its invention in 1992. Smaller clubs are only in the Premier League to serve as cannon fodder for the top 6.

Fortunately, the reverse is often the case!

Yeah I've never got that either, what are they expecting the smaller clubs to do, turn up all out attack against hundreds of millions of pounds worth of players and get a hammering? Laughable.

Bit like the Liverpool fans this season who are crying that all the smaller clubs are rolling over City <wah>

'Don't need to park the bus, just press the **** the out of them' - Yeah it's easy to say that when you've got the likes of Salah and Mane up top. Bit more difficult with players like Charlie Austin or Glenn Murray.
