Chelsea dropping two points at home to Swansea was down to their medical staff ! :shock:
Last season it was the refs....whose next.....the staff who make the refreshments at half time ?

Jose Mourinho angry at Chelsea medical staff after Swansea draw

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho criticised his "naive" medical staff for treating Eden Hazard in their draw with Swansea.
The Blues, who had keeper Thibaut Courtois sent off, were down to nine men for a period after staff ran on to treat Hazard following a trip, despite him not appearing to be badly injured.
If a player receives treatment, they must leave the field.
"I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"Whether you are a kit man, doctor or secretary on the bench you have to understand the game.
"You have to know you have one player less and to assist a player you must be sure he has a serious problem. I was sure Eden did not have a serious problem. He had a knock. He was tired."

Arsenal 0 - 2 West Ham

:laugh:

One evening, in a restaurant, Arsene Wenger thought he heard someone say that Peter Cech was worth 12 points.

"I'll take him", he said immediately.

What the person actually said was that any team would only be worth 12 points with him in it.

Apart from the fact that's a about the 1000th time I've read that since Courtois sending off, those words have come back to haunt you, haven't they? :D

The thing is Cech was part of a solid, consistent and largely excellent Chelsea defence, led by JT over 10 years. The understanding between Cech and his defenders was immense. Clearly, something similar will take time to bed in at Arsenal. Chelsea also have better defenders and that makes a difference. Not one of Arsenals back four today would get into the Chelsea team, that was evident for the first goal, where they all went AWOL. The 2nd goal was just farcial.

And Begovic was excellent when he came on to replace Courtois. Got everything right.

Still, interesting 1st round of games and we still have the scousers at Stoke to come!

Arsene Wenger kicks off his last season in charge by dumping the Arse to the bottom of the table. From top to bottom in a day...

Cant believe how this story has escalated ! Mourinho comes across as making Kim Jong Un of North Korea,a decent guy ! :tsk:
The lady,maybe,made a small mistake but,surely,no worse than the equivalent of a bad back pass ?
The referee waved her on to the pitch twice.What is she supposed to do ? Ignore him and just stand there ?
Dont know what callers take is on this,what with him being a lifelong Chelsea fan since 2003 and all ! :D

Eva Carneiro: Chelsea doctor set to lose place on bench
BBC Sport
Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro is set to lose her place on the bench for Sunday's trip to Manchester City after criticism from manager Jose Mourinho.
The Blues boss said his medical staff were "naive" for treating Eden Hazard during the 2-2 draw with Swansea.
Carneiro will continue to be Chelsea's first-team doctor but her role at the club will be significantly changed, according to the Daily Telegraph.
She will no longer attend matches or training sessions. :shock:
Carneiro will, however, continue to work with first-team players at Chelsea's Cobham training ground

She was very popular among the Chelski faithful due to her great doctoring abilities and speed. When she ran onto the pitch, Chelsea fans grew a little nostalgic and thought of Baywatch, so I think Maureen has made a poor choice here.

Gotta keep the fans happy at Chelsea. Wouldn't be surprised if some nice Russian lass slots into the job. Abromavich aint stupid now.

Correct :(

Lets give a little credit to West Ham though, they played well and took full advantage. :cheers:

As for the jeers and booing from the fans, I think they're are quite entitled to show their frustrations.
The club have had all summer to sort the squad out and it's still lacking in areas.

Gonna be a tough game at Palace on Sunday, lets hope we get things sorted out.

It must be worrying to Arsenal fans when Wenger said something along the lines of, 'They (West Ham) had better preparation before the match'.

What's your job title again Arsene? :?
