It was the correct decision. I will always maintain he is a Great short term manager but because of his 'style' will never be a long term answer Take out the emotion but In black & white terms his job is simply to 'manage' footballers or 'staff'.. He is paid incredible amounts of money to to do that & this season has failed miserably to manage his staff correctly & get anywhere near the best from them. He has been given a reasonable amount of time but has simply not looked capable of turning things round.& maintain decent performances & results.. CFC this season has become a total car crash. Jose is ultimately responsible for that. If there is discord & he has lost the dressing room. It is down to him. He is not bigger than the club even though by some of his statements he thinks he is! It is very sad the way it has ended but it is hard to feel too much sympathy for a man with an out of control ego who will get a multi million pound pay off for what this season could easily be deemed gross mismanagement of his staff.

Jose went far further than wenger did. I would say no because a refs integrity had not been questioned. But conspiracy theorists maybe would say otherwise? We will never know. If in the future jose describes an official as weak & naive. nothing more & gets charged. We can moan. Believe me i think if that happened the club would make a case against the FA & rightly so! I used to think fergie got a soft ride with the FA? I honestly dont know if that was the case but feel sometimes with emotion Jose crosses the line. Perhaps wenger has set the template & Jose needs to stay within it. Lets be honest Wengers rants are more measured than Joses. Different Characters. Jose by his very nature is always more liable to overstep the mark.

Look maybe im old school. I believe you play hard but play fair like JT does. DCs actions might have helped get 3 points against the Arse. But has his subsequent ban cost us?

Fair Point again droogba. But you are talking about football not the common workplace. Forget the semantics & the ref was rather weak to be honest. if you take off the blue tinted spectacles, His & sorry Diegos actions ruined a game of football for the majority of the watching public. Ok it worked in Chelsea favour which everyone on here is with. However sometimes you also maybe have to see the bigger picture & how the rest of the people views it. Big game, Massive world audience. Do you honestly thing DCs actions were acceptable & would you say he should have stayed on the field if neutral? Cut the bull The ref was pretty naive, it just worked out well for us.

Yes but it is still not questioning his integrity. You can say I thought the ref was weak if say you feel he did not clamp down on things early enough. Quite a common complaint by managers in big european fixtures to be fair. Although it is not a 'nice' thing to say, it does not warrant a charge.

Droogba i agree but you are still questioning their Judgement NOT their Integrity. A Refs judgement can & will be questioned all the time over decisions made on the park. Be it a penalty given or a sending off. Totally different

Sorry but saying a ref was naive is not questioning their integrity which is what Jose did. Its whole different gravy. Lets be honest if say Giroud had put in a 'performance' at the emirates like what Costa did at the bridge, everyone on hear would be up in arms about it. If Jose had then said the ref was simply naive & left it at that he would not have been charged. If Wenger had said after the bridge game. The referee was anti Arse Its a different ballgame. No conspiracy theories.

Do not understand why this lad is not given more of a chance. Not seen him play too much to be fair but when i have he has looked very decent & have heard some very good things about him.

Was really impressed with the ladies. The quality has gone up hugely in recent years. Nice to see JT offering his support also.

I think it is down to what Jose said & specifically how he said it? He basically inferred that referees had an Anti Chelsea bias. You CANNOT say that. Not sure what wenger said but was it not more along the lines of the referee made a bad decision, It ruined the game & it should be looked at? You CAN say that. Jose also picked the game when Saints had 2 arguably better shouts for pens dismissed & Falcaos was a hopeful shout for a pen at best. NOT SMART! Look anybody knows that the bigger teams tend to get their fair share of favourable decisions at home. To suggest the opposite of this & refs are Anti Chelsea is pretty ludicrous, Sorry but he was always going to get pulled for that.
