Chelsea Conveniently Pile Blame For Their Disastrous Season All On Mourinho
While no one could seriously argue that José Mourinho didn’t earn today’s firing because of his team’s god-awful performances this season, it would be similarly disingenuous to paint the coach himself as the sole cause of this inexplicable confluence of events.

Chelsea Are Just About Dead
So much of being a coach is managing expectations. The best ones consistently set goals that are a finger length or two higher than what can be realistically reached. That demands commitment to the cause. It reminds players that no matter what they’ve achieved so far, there’s always another level th...
Scrappy Underdogs Chelsea Show Heart, But Can't Beat Bournemouth
15th place Chelsea almost scored an upset against fellow lower table side Bournemouth today, but they couldn’t handle Glenn Murray on this corner.

75 Voters In Argentine Soccer Federation Election Somehow Produce 76 Votes
All Alfredo Dagna could do upon taking in the results of the Argentina soccer federation’s presidential election last night was collapse into his chair, propping his head up with his hand, probably so that he didn’t start banging it against the table. Those results? 38 votes for the challenger, 38 f...

Arsenal Fan Idris Elba Loves Laughing At Sorry-Ass Chelsea As Much As We Do
Idris Elba is from London. Thus, he’s an Arsenal fan. Because his team has been cast over the past decade as The Big Engine That Can’t, he’s had to endure repeated humiliations and ridicule at the hands of the Gunners’ rivals. Now that the shoe’s on the other foot with regards to Chelsea’s God-forsa...
Why Chelsea Should Stick With José Mourinho
This Chelsea season is beginning to feel like that “Sideshow Bob Steps On Rakes For 10 Minutes” video.

Referee: Irate José Mourinho Cussed Me Out In Dressing Room
Earlier this week, England’s Football Association gave José Mourinho a fine and a one-match ban from the sideline for some sort of behavior that got him sent to the stands during halftime of Chelsea’s 1-2 loss to West Ham.

Wins Were All José Mourinho Ever Had To Stand On
