Seems like Chelsea are hell-bent on permanently taking United's crown as 'most hated club'.

I heard this rumour a couple of weeks back, I didn't buy it then and I don't buy it now. I think Bayern are playing games and Chelsea are happy to let them, I can't see Robben being keen on playing in the German league, even if it is for one of the biggest teams in the world and I can't see Hargreaves being wanted by Chelsea, where will they play him, of the top of my head they already have six central midfielders and Robben is surprisingly one of the few players they have that actually gets the fans of the seats, would they get rid of him for another tough tackling defensive midfielder and Hargreaves doesn't seem to be one of the players that's all ego, so it should be obvious to him what the best move for his career is

Now, I am no fan of Chelsea and Mourinho, but if this is true, it's disgraceful of one player to say this, especially after the rest of the team is backing Mourinho. He should buck his ideas up before running to the big boss complaining...

The Ukrainian striker exacerbated his rift with Mourinho and the rest of the Chelsea squad by asking the Stamford Bridge owner to bring in the Italian and axe the man who has brought the Blues the most successful spell in their history.

Well he is going to go to the guy who bought him.

[Mal]

Yes, but he should realise that the majority of his team mates do not want a change. He gets dropped and substituted all the time and then goes running to daddy, instead of sorting his game out. Fair enough, if they were bottom of the league and everyone hated him.

Looks like he has been at it again, incidentally stitching you guy's up yet again

And the Blues will spend £20m at the end of the season on Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres - a player Jose Mourinho does not rate. (Daily Star)

There was me thinking he liked to keep a low profile

But Abramovich may not be there to see the striker in action as he has threatened to boycott Saturday's match at Anfield. The Russian does not think Blues fans appreciate him enough. (Daily Mail)

To be fair you can't fault his work rate.
He isn't the type of player for Chelsea, they don't play his sort of game. He is a penalty area predator, the narrowness of Chelsea means he doesn't get opportunities. Mourinho didn't want him therefore won't change his style of play to incorporate him.

To be honest i would be surprised if any of the recent stories about Chelsea are true. It's just the media trying to stir things up and they have managed to do it by Chelsea's below par form of late. I don't think they will sign Hargreaves or Torres and they won't sell Robben. The only thing that may possibly happen, in my opinion, is Mourinho leaving at the end of the season. I think if he wins the Champions league he will leave and if he doesn't he may be forced out for "underachieving" If he does leave it will be a blow for Chelsea in my opinion as there aren't that many better managers around than him.

Not as big a blow as Roman leaving though.

Yeah apparently Mourinho thinks Torres is slow and he prefers Villa.

He's upset that fans have been supporting Mourinho over him. If I was a Chelsea fan I wouldn't want to **** Roman off.. if he leaves they are sunk!

True, i can't see many of Chelsea's players hanging around if the bloke with all the money leaves

[sherer]

although i'm not a big fan of Chelsea if you see any footage of them in training they have a great team spirit and Mourinho is all part of that if he goes so will that

also looks like fatty could be off to AC Milan

I thought Roman had given the club a £500 million bond, to make sure the club could survive if anything happened to him? Mind you if he got really annoyed he could always build houses on the ground and make them ground share with Fulham

I saw this in the paper today and made me laugh - Link

Green referred to Sylvester Stallone’s appearance at Goodison Park as a “pathetic stunt by a B-list celebrity� and made comments as the actor left the ground before the end of the game about him “going to see whether his Limousine was on bricks�.
