The whatever footie that's going on (with actual fans) thread

FTFY.Mourinho's head has already exploded. He's consistently f*cked up this season. Never have I known an Arsenal down in 14th position, 2 points off a relegation spot at this point in the season. Instead of looking at Arsenal, you need to ask yourselves a deep question of where do you go from here.
CL is looking very unlikely and playing your way to a final looks equally unlikely - there are much stronger outfits out there and Chelski would have to play the sort of footie they look incapable of playing. So if you are in Europa next year, what sort of players/managers are you likely to attract?
Unless Chelski shoot up the table like a rocket, the future for you is looking wonderfully bleak for at least 2 seasons including this one.
I would have more respect for Mourinho if he came out with an apology immediately after Carneiro was sacked and then the demise may not have happened but he's too arrogant for that and he's falling on his own sword as well as seemingly loosing the respect of his own players.
I think he has little option but to stay on. La Lga? No, RM wouldn't have him back. Barcelona don't need him so the only two teams most likely to win the league are out of the question. Bundesliga? Bayern's position is rock solid. I couldn't see him in Germany unless it was at Bayern. That only leaves going back to Serie A. Inter are looking good and therefore not looking for a manager. Milan could do with some help but are dwindling down in 8th place. The whole financial health of Serie A is not good and it's being taxed to death, so I am not sure Mourinho would go back - especially to Inter's main rival.
So he's stuck or more, you are stuck with him. Anyway, at the end of this season, JM will have been 3 years in the job and it is usual that he leaves at this point. It may be your only hope.
I have no idea why you have such animosity towards Wenger in the wake of his long term consistency and the position you find yourself in and all because of your failing, fumbling, manager who has fallen off a pedestal of his own making. It's comical, far more comical than anything Wenger has ever done.

Not bleak because one of two things will happen. Either Mourinho turns it around or Abramovich sacks him, gets his cheque book out rebuilds with another top manager. Either way we'll be back, just a question of when. Although we never really stopped beating Arsenal, even this seasonTwas hardly a rant.

Yep Ted Drake was decent. To be fair probably the last Gooner to win at Chelsea. Nice to see that Chelskis historic traditions of just wanting to beat Arsenal have returned.0 -
I suppose we are setting the bar a bit low aren't we :P

I wish my job was as easy as being a football pundit, they seem to change their mind after the event and claim they are experts in some way.
Arsenal sign Cech - "The missing piece of the puzzle for Arsenal - It'll be their year"
Arsenal get a few injuries - "Why didn't Wenger buy a striker in the transfer window, he's clueless"
Arsenal win some matches - "I can't see anyone beating Arsenal"
Arsenal lose a few matches - "Same old Arsenal, never going to win anything"
Arsenal win a match - "The league is Arsenal's to lose"
Same for City, United, Liverpool and Chel.... actually they need to win a few first!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -
Below Newcastle in the table?

Yup, I would have to agree.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

It's good that the Chelski fans have great resolve - they're going to need it. We're sat (probably not for long) at the top of the table and they're still berating us!?
Win win for me this evening. I'd like to see Leicester win tonight, just to see what excuses Mourinho comes up with and Leicester will fade over christmas and new year with some FA action soon to follow. If they don't Chelski will still be languishing down the bottom and we'll still be top.
If Leicester stay top for a while, the spotlight is off us.
On balance, tonight i'll be supporting the small unfashionable Leicester.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Nice one CB.
I guess things will be a bit quieter around here.
Looks like it's just us two City Boy with handbag rights.
When is Aguero and Kompany fit, my FF team needs a boost but i've just leapfrogged Stevo? Can't be all bad.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I can't say I'm looking forward to next Monday Pinno. If City defend like they have been lately, Arsenal could well tear us a new one!
TBF, Leicester looked really good tonight and it will be interesting to see how long they can keep going. I guess they've been pretty lucky on the injury front but we're nearly half way through the season, so who knows?
City and @rsenal have had some real problems with injuries but are still up there and in contention so it looks like it's gonna be interesting...and close.
I'm off to dust off the handbag

I' rather be 2nd to City than Chelski, without a shadow of a doubt.
We don't look 100% at the back either. It just seems that at the moment we look capable of scoring more goals than the opposition, sometimes it works but it's naive. If LVG wants a new job, he can be our defence coach - he's not really cut out for the big stuff, let's face it.
There will be twists and turns from here on in.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
