He is a workaholic, too. ‘There are 24 hours in a day,’ Conte has been quoted as saying. ‘I sleep five of them and devote three to my family.

"A lot has been said, and many wrong things about that situation. I love Jose and consider him even my friend, we still keep in touch now and some of the things said were unfortunate." "I think his biggest problem was that he trusted us too much. He gave us more holiday because we were champions, he believed in us more, trusted us more, and we let him down. The whole team, all the players." "That was the main reason why at the end he had to go. And for that, myself and all the team, will feel bad for him." -Cesc Fàbregas; source: Sky

Some thoughts posted on WAGNH: Cast your mind back over two and a half years, to 6th October 2013. Ashley Cole is withdrawn with a rib injury late on in the Blues' 3-1 victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road. Unbeknownst to us at the time, for a man who had so long been one of the first names on the teamsheet, an unsung hero of that famous night in Munich eighteen months previously, this was to spell the beginning of the end. In Cole's absence, Jose Mourinho opted* for Cesar Azpilicueta over Ryan Bertrand for the Champions League clash with Schalke later that month. The Spaniard put in

Italian TV Rai reports Antonio Conte will tell Italy FA tomorrow he's leaving in summer. Chelsea could then announce he's next manager #CFC — Kaveh Solhekol (@SkyKaveh) March 13, 2016

A Madrid-based French journalist named Frédéric Hermel did not tweet this out to almost 200,000 followers on Twitter, but the TV show on which he dropped this bombshell sure did. .@fredhermel: "Hace poco ME HAN DICHO que el Madrid LO TIENE HECHO con Hazard". #ElChiringuitoDeMega pic.twitter.com/wUhA7FvNin — El Chiringuito TV (@elchiringuitotv) March 9, 2016 That is, Hermel has been recently told that Eden Hazard to Real Madrid is a 'done deal'.

Joaquin Guzman – El Chapo’s real name – wanted to combine his passions for football and entrepreneurship, according to Spanish publication Sport. It is reported that the Mexican gangster, who is a ‘keen lover of the beautiful game’, could be worth up to €1 billion and is a big fan of the Mexican team Gaza Puebla. The Blues are owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, but it is believed that El Chapo has significant wealth of his own and wanted t

I hear Costa & Hazard were 2 main Chelsea culprits in plot to axe Mourinho, thus covering up with their own woeful form. I'd sell them. — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 19, 2015
