There goes West Ham's season, I was going to put him in my fantasy football as well.
Decent from Chelsea, not had too many chances but stopped Stoke playing so far.
Yeah we've played pretty well so far without creating any clear cut chances - Costa with a couple of decent efforts though.
If we can move the ball a bit quicker we'll start to cause Stoke problems.
Yeah I think Costa is part of the problem, he's lost a lot of pace over the summer and that's really hurting the runs he can do in the final third now.
You need someone with the speed of Remy but the positioning and finishing of Costa.

This is why the PL is the most entertaining league in the world. You don't get to witness this crumble anywhere else.
Dortmund last year?
Best part of this match.

You don't get any enjoyment out of that though.

Why play a short corner at the end of the game? Just get it into the box and see what happens. Wow.
Welp Mourinho.

Remy jumped over him, if he wanted a penalty for it he shouldn't have jumped.
That wasn't why we didn't win (or draw) today, Costa isn't doing much up front except getting in fights...
I've no idea if this is it for Jose, it doesn't feel like it but its up to Roman I guess
Nope - you can give away a free kick anywhere on the pitch, without making contact, because of intent.
Remy has to take evasive action to avoid the foul from Butland and, as a result of that, misses his chance. It's a penalty.
Hazard, Willian and Pedro played well. Costa was poor again though.
Fair enough.
People are weird and get enjoyment out of strange things. I don't understand it either.

Lots of people don't like us for various reasons.

There's something inherently dislikable about Chelsea. I don't think you would get this with other clubs. Whether it's Costa's constant hooliganisms or Mourinho's obnoxious and hateful personality, I don't know. But it doesn't paint a good picture of the club brand.
That said, would be gutted if Mou gets sacked.

The very idea of Chelsea, a nothing club for like a century until it got sugar daddy oil money and bought success most fanbases never experience repulses a lot of fans. Easily hateable big personalities on the club like Mourinho, Abramovich, Terry, Costa, etc... and a boring style of play are other contributing factors.
Well I can't disagree with the opinions of a fellow Fargo fan..
cunt team, managed by a cunt manager, and the fans are cunts for the most part. all my FB "friends" that support chelsea are the most passive aggressive alpha male wannabe douchebags i have ever seen.

The day that human shit-stain lifted the CL trophy in Munich was the day I became convinced being a decent person means nothing in life.
And a cunt owner who obtained his wealth through very dodgy means to put it mildly. Chelsea were a decent cup team at best before he bought them and then he pumped silly money into the club effectively buying the league. They represent everything that is wrong about football from top to bottom.
Man City fans are okay, they remember what relegation feels like so they don't get too cocky and mostly can't believe their luck. Good LGBT support too.
I don't like how they got their success and Nasri is a cunt but other than that I can't muster up much emotion about them either.
so what's the difference between Abramovich and the Glazer Family, the Fenway Sports Group, Stan Kroenke, the ENIC group, etc? every premier league team is now managed by bored millionaires. Almost every top team in Europe is, excluding Madrid and Barcelona that still have elections and no money injections.
Chelsea has become self-sustainable after the initial investment, that's something some of those historic clubs can't say right now. And we better don't start with ManCity.

That's some false equivalency right there.
The Glazers saddled Man United with their own debt from buying the club and Kroenke hasn't put his own money into Arsenal. Neither have benefited from having rich owners.
Fenway put in a bunch of money into Liverpool but they didn't get any success out of it so nobody cares.

You can see it here, absolutely disgusting. And judging by this thread deserves at least a three game ban because he plays for the disgusting chelsea, who's fans are all cunts that apparently only support them because of the oil money.
Man United faster than everyone else economic expansion in the last decade is thanks to the Glazers way of management. Even if they had a couple of bad performance years, that's the reason they can spend stupid amounts of money right now.
I'm not really interested in Arsenal so I guess you're right about that one, they wouldn't win anything worthwhile anyway.
if people only care about the 'undeserved' money when it wins stuff, I think we're closer to envy than dislike.
Hah, love the half shove. Something like that happens here and that dude is fired.
