Begovic chucking them in to give Chelsea a narrow win over Stoke does not mean they are in title-winning form.

But Mourinho is clearly past caring about convincing; he just understandably wants to get over the line. He'd take winning it on goal difference right now, nqat.

you said chelsea were in poor form and used a record of 7 wins in 12 dating back to ages ago as evidence

you also said united were in good form, yet their record over the same period is 8 wins in 13

you reckon they're falling over the line as further evidence but they've been easily the best side in the league and earned the chance to surely, by being 7pts ahead with a game in hand and with a title already in the bag by the 1st weekend of april...

they can win the title winning half their remaining games even if they lose to the 2nd and the 3rd placed sides in upcoming games ffs, that's how far ahead they are this season

I'm still not sure which part of what I've said you're actually disagreeing with tbh

Would definitely agree that Chelsea are well ahead of everyone else. I just don't think them playing crap, dropping out of cups, needing Begovic to chuck them in to beat Stoke at home etc was part of Mourinho's masterplan. He'll need to plan better next season.

basically i'm struggling to understand why using the same XI wherever possible is a sign of poor management. You've so far cited a flat 2nd leg against PSG, and a GK error by an opponent as evidence of perceived mass fatigue, and made the leap to call this poor planning by the manager

£#%&! it anyway, who cares? be ace if they get turned over by us and arsenal and hit the wall

Keanes conk in that picture looks well odd. Like those drawings girls did in the eighties with a big conk faced thing over a wall (what the £#%&! were they?)

I'd be pleased with scoring 3 goals from 0 clear cut chances.

Also enjoy how the two teams combined to win 109% of the headers.
