    It's different when you have a far superior team, why would you want to park the bus? But when it's a little more level or he's faced with a better team, then he always parks the bus. You are an idiot if you don't see that.

    I know that, but your response to Kyle was in relation to both picture and Jose when he wasn't even in charge of that team.

    Which far inferior team has he parked the bus to the extent of the picture shown though? This is the point I'm making, I've never seen a Chelsea team under Jose park 11 men in the area making no effort whatsoever to attack, they had 1 shot ffs! Nor did I see Porto, Inter or Madrid but to be fair I wasn't a regular watcher of those teams.

    I would also say Bayern and Barca were/are far superior to Chelsea.

    I'm talking about Jose having the superior team and not needing to park the bus. Since Porto, he has taken over teams that have had very good players. For example, in his first tenure with Chelsea, he had some exceptional players, yet he used to go very defensive against Arsenal and Man U. He is a very defensive coach and fair play to him, he has achieved a hell of a lot playing this way. But to criticise the Walrus for playing a dour defensive game is laughable, when he did it with Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid to a lesser extent.

    I know all of that mate, but you said his tactic was the same as the one in the picture i.e sticking 11 men in the area and hoping much like West Ham did when it's not. Jose wasn't just criticising a defensive method, it was the fact they just shoved 11 men as deep as possible with no plan to attack, just lump it forward and hope and the fact they only had 1 shot shows that.

    I do agree however that it was wrong to criticise Allerdyce as personally I think you should do what you need to do in order to gain points as long as you're not fouling and playing to the rules etc

    Oh, get over it Chelsea, you're boring now. Best moment of the night was the final whistle knowing that fat **** Lampard didn't score, because it's clear the overweight sack of **** gets super hyped to score against us.

    Wenger has been wumming the moany one again <laugh>

    I response to moany Mo moaning about about West Ham's 19th century football, Wenger has responded that Moany Mo needs to learn to 'deal with it'

    Wenger 2-0 Moany Mo

    Looks like he's at it again, this time questioning Pellegrini's mathematical prowess. Is there anything this man won't stoop to? <laugh>

    Jose Mourinho: Chelsea manager questions Manuel Pellegrini maths

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini got his calculations wrong on Chelsea's spending during the January transfer window, according to Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
    Mourinho described his team as a "little horse" in the Premier League title race, while Pellegrini said Chelsea were a "rich little horse".

    Say what you want the man is a phenomenal manager and gives a great sound byte to boot. His tactics work and he has sustained success where ever he goes. On a personal level I love having him in the game. He in between a panto villian and a comic more importantly he knows it and plays up to it.

    I agree, we are better off with him than without him. He's a bit like WWE, it's trashy and you know you shouldn't like it, but you still have a look and check it out.

    So great he couldn't outwit Big Sam. Until Maureen goes to a midtable club without a huge purse to spend on players, I really can't give him the credit he probably deserves.
