Don't tell me I'm going to have to move on. Last year when I posed a similar question your response was "Wait until the knockout phase". Much more like the old Just.

Agreed also. Indeed had Mourinho been in charge last night he probably would have found a way to take the pressure off the players as they celebrated the result.

By the way I thought the referee and his assistants were excellent last night. Can this mean that the UEFA/G14 Axis of Evil have cooked up another maddeningly brilliant plan to stop us winning the CL after last year's so-subtle-it-was-invisible masterpiece?

Loved it when Wilkins said; "Well done Chels"

Classic double bluff.

Also can't see any argument for keeping Cech off the list. He has been the biggest diffference between ourselves and our domestic rivals since he joined.

I would have attributed our success over the past few years to the players, our money and the manager in that order. Nothing has changed.

I'm afraid I couldn't get past that phrase.

I loved every minute of Joe out there tonight. Proper footballer playing with his head up and trying things. Mikel on the other hand.....did you notice the wavy arms Just? I don't think he's earned the right to wear Jimmy's crown just yet.

Had Mourinho still been in charge it is doubtful whether Joe would have been around to hit the pass of the season. Had he started the game he would have been subbed by then but it is more likely that he wouldn't have had any game time at all.

Joe played well, great to have a footballer back in the side. Carvs good too. But Drogba gave, once again, an absolute masterclass in playing the lone striker's role. He has to win MOM as without him, given the options available, there is not a hope in hell we would have won that game tonight.

You can add Steve Staunton to that list.

Good answer Andy.

I hadn't given that much thought, although I have a fairly good idea of the colour when she's finished.

On the subject of polls, would you let Billie Piper blow you off? Yes No

Brilliant Bluenut

They'd be his kind of player for sure.

Mourinho didn't pick Joe. At least he's getting a game.

No it was not a direct reference to you, it was a reference to the author of the insult, and the author of the tripe above.

I didn't need the clue. Just the use of the word "lickspittle" was enough for me. What's his username? c**tknuckles M?

No it's the fans that are falling apart, all that grieving and stuff. The players look fine.

or Irish.

He was 22 years old when he made that album. What the f**k is that about? How does that happen?

That's the big mystery for me too. I can only conclude that it was down to money, on both sides. Abramovich must have thought, as did I, that Mourinho would walk when Grant was appointed. I still can't believe he didn't although 20 million is a high price for anyone's pride. Since the season started it is clear that there was continuous undermining of Mourinho, again I assume with the intention of forcing a resignation. When it was clear that none was forthcoming the "mutual consent" deal was struck and Abramovich coughed up. It remains to be seen whether Abramovich will step back again now he has got his way. If he doesn't, as Jack has brilliantly argued over the past few days, we're f**ked.

You've just done that I think. Good answers Jack. Food for thought indeed.
