If you claim that Eva is the power broker behind the current mess, show documented proof.Otherwise shut your trap before it makes you look more idiotic than you already are.

What attention? You know jack and you are pushing your pet conspiracy theory in a public Internet forum. Try to post some sense for a change.

And those players told you that? Lol

Does she coach and pick the players? Lol

Option 3 is certainly doable and perhaps the most sensible.

It's the 3 year syndrome of Mournho so one can't expect otherwise. If Roman fires him, it might be good for John Terry to take charge of things alongside the assistant coaches until next summer when Guardiola is available.

What's your obsession with Eva?

Folks have been chanting for Ivanovic to be dropped since after the Swansea match and yet his name is still the first on the team sheet. Also, January offers nothing in terms of top quality players which is what Chelsea needs desperately.

As I predicted, Mourinho wouldn't last past Christmas if he remained stubborn in playing favourites and in team tactics which predictably results in more losses than wins. Now it's a a question of when Roman wields the axe.......

Typical of blind supporters. Blame the medic and anyone except the man in charge.

The squad is capable of a Top 4 finish on paper but the spine of the team needs to be rebuilt next summer and that means 200 million pounds at least for top quality players and not lower division standard types like Papy and Hector.

Not sure about the folks here but Roman certainly would want gratification and if it's not instant, it certainly won't be too long before he demands positive results.

So you think Ivanovic is a better right back than Azpi? How is your faith being rewarded so far?

So you agree with the rest here that they should not be in the first team?

Mourinho is being slammed and rightly so because he coaches and puts out the team. Are you supportive of Ivanovic and Fabregas being first team players?

It won't be a blip then. It would be terminal as Moutinho has been found out with his stubbornness by using the same old tactics. Until Roman gets fed up and fires him.

Mourinho claiming that Ivanovic is his best right back sums up what level headed fans have suspected all along - showing blatant favouritism regardless of form. I wonder how Baba Rahman feels about this unfair situation. A right back should be the top priority for next summer"s transfer purchases but if Mourinho is still around then, it won't happen as he will get the club to award Ivanovic a new 3 year contract.

It's prediction time and for this match I am going for a 2-1 win to Chelsea. The one goal conceded wil probably be due to Ivanovic's fault. This will lift some spirits amongst the fans until the next defeat.

Well, the fans will have to live with it as Ivanovic will always be a starter as long as Mourinho is manager of Chelsea FC. They better pray that his contract is allowed to run down and not renewed next summer.

Looks like I got this one right - a 2-1 defeat to Porto. As long as the likes of Ivanovic play, predictions are a straightforward affair.

Predicting losses yet still supporting the team is a strong sign that you are a true supporter!

There are some in this forum who only want score predictions to be victories or draws at worst - never losses. Otherwise, you are seen as the devil incarnate. One wonders what is the point of a discussion forum after all. It's best that these narrow-minded people quit the forum.

Fair enough but my opinion on Mourinho's standing with Abra still stands if Chelsea loses to Porto. I am not saying he will get fired right after the match but I do think serious questions will be asked and doubts raised at Stamford Bridge if it is a loss.

What does getting behind the team have to do with predicting s result?

Why? If you don't like reading my predictions, start your own forum then.
