Zero reason for him him to say '25 percent of the emotion Anfield gives Liverpool' Why not say "Stamford Bridge can match Anfield, next week they will be 40,000 Chelsea fans. The atmosphere our fans will create can be the difference" It just adds to the 'plastic' mentality, which is how the news outlets spun it this morning. It opens up avenues for outside groups to take shots at Chelsea fans. Maybe Chels fans should sing 'be more like Pellegrini and win us the league'. Would Jose take that as motivation or would he take the hump? I can hazard a guess at which one it would be and rightly so because we should support each other. This won't motivate fans to think, i'll show you Jose just watch. The best atmospheres at SB are when we are all together as a collective, fans, players, manager, board, with a common goal on big football nights. The atmosphere will be great at SB next Wednesday and it will be sweet fa to do with what Jose said. It will be because its a mid week, semi final against a rival

It was obvious to everyone, so it must have been a specific tactic to use the starting players for 90mins. I think he got forced into bringing Dave on because we were getting battered. Was thinking about this last night, I think his intention is to scrape past Liverpool and Bradford and leave enough in the tank for City. City are away in Dubai recharging the batteries and we're in the middle of one of the hardest 2 weeks we'll have all season. Bradford is a cup final for them and they'll play out of their skins. He's emptying the tank of the players last night and preserving the energy of the reserves to play Sat, and hoping last nights 11 recover in time for Liverpool/City, its a gamble, but he usually gets it right

I don't know why he comes out with this kind of bollocks. Fair enough motivate our fans, but does he really need to praise theirs at the same time. This added to the don't sing about Gerrard comments. Strange

Gonna try this with Mrs Middleweight tonight

Are away goals still part of this competition?

Be nice to see Salah given one more chance

Not sure if this is a compliment or a cry for help

Mikel has done nothing this half

Sounds like he's off to Leicester for 9m euros

Whats Costas goals/games ratio now?

I fear the today John Terry dives. I imagine Martin Tyler will try and link him to Operation Yewtree

Anyone see Adrian trip JT after he'd scored, soft but still a c*nts trick nonetheless

What happened with Ivan, tv went off

Why are we not getting 500 replays on skysports of Valencia diving?

Clarke Carlisle fighting for his life after car crash

Horrible finish haha

Sorry you said its more likely to be a red

Im not saying it doesnt happen. You said it shouldnt be a red, but if it was at 60mins it should be a red. I think thats ridiculous. If the referee is thinking that way, he should never be allowed to referee again. His job is to protect the players and punish indiscretions, regardless of context. A dangerous tackle is as dangerous in the first minute as it is in the last.

Its a red or its not a red, how does the number on the clock effect how dangerous a tackle is?

The contact was at knee height, with similar amounts of aggression. Everything else is irrelevant. Lets not start going down the road of refs guessing what a player was thinking at the time of making a challenge

similar tackle, straight red

he should have sent bardsley off in the tunnel before the game for being a c*nt
