watching his wolves team come to old trafford and shamelessly take turns to fall over/feign injury/waste time was one of the most teeth grindingly frustrating experiences every season.

He's not cut out of that club and it's already looking pretty awful.

Ending it with Poch is looking dumber by the day. They haven’t had a clue what to do since.

might have something to do with the fact they've employed probably the most negative manager in the league.

Kane must be suicidal

He looked it.

Pep passive aggressively telling him he hopes he enjoys the rest of his career at Spurs during a press conference has absolutely £#%&!ing killed him

Kane seems older than Ronnie, doesn't he?

injuries have taken their toll on his body.

constantly ankle injuries every season and he looks to have lost several yards of pace

Chelsea look the real deal

He looked broken. He’ll bounce back, but having his Tottenham Groundhog Day looks to have devastated him.

What an appointment tuchel has been so far for them.

He let his halfwit brother negotiate a six year contract with Levy with an unwritten agreement that he could leave. Incredibly he is dumber than he looks.

Poch looked pissed off to be in the job at that point, think he was ready to £#%&! them off after they didn't back him in the summer.

So they throw a stupid contract at Jose and give him money to throw down the drain instead.

Crazy

They had the bones of a great side before he got there - they just had an inexperienced sub-standard manager in Lampard trying to make it work.

Tuchel has come in and basically organised them into a well drilled unit that doesn't give the opposition much. They're as close now to what they were in the early days under mourinho as at any time in the last 15 years.

They don't play swashbuckling football, they don't get involved in 5 goal ding-dongs which entertain the neutrals. What they are is extremely difficult to play against, clinical and above all extremely well coached.

You can't argue with the turnaround since Tuchel turned up. It's been pretty phenomenal.

You may have forgotten, but our current manager made a hell of a difference initially. Its keeping that up for the long term that counts - but a CL title doesn't do any harm there admittedly

You really can't compare the two. Tuchel is on a completely different level to Ole.

He is more experienced, yes.

Wheels off in Rome. Lost to Verona for the first time in 25 years.

Unfortunately the Tammy Abraham that was at Swansea turned up

Jose will start turning on his players now. Calling them naive, undermining their confidence etc.

yeah and he's won trophies in germany, france and england.

Nah, not yet. He’s still sweet, cuddly Jose for another month or so I reckon. He’ll be full of praise, bemoaning their fortune etc.

Chelsea played a blinder when they got their transfer ban.

They knew their usual plan of hiring a big name wouldn’t work, as nobody would go there with no money to spend.

So give it to a fans favourite, get the fans onside and there’s no way he’ll say no.

Give him the big money the next summer, if it works, great, if not then has enough rope to hang himself.

Then hire Tuchel with more or less ready-made squad.
