    Haha. Excellent response to last year Mourinho punchline

    "This is not the best league in the world, this is football from the 19th Century," said Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho of West Ham back in January. "The only [other] thing I could bring was a Black and Decker [tool] to destroy the wall."
    Chelsea and West Ham drew 0-0 at Stamford Bridge last year.

    At least the build up to the game is well set-up :D.

    This is an excellent and proven strategy.

    I was trying to think of who had a good Xmas pun-able name. Terry Xmas has already been rolled out. Any more?

    Chelsea had 39 shots last year to West Ham's one. They had the most ever on target for a team that didn't score!

    Well, I think this gameweek is going to be a disaster (it just feels like it will be?), so I'm going to ignore football, spend time with the family and the other half, and hope for the best. Have a good day, everybody!

    I know the feeling, made the same in vain change from Sakho to Siggy (from team to bench).

    Transferred Haz to Fab with Costa as captain, so not too disappointed, glad I didn't do Costa to Giroud now.

    Main rival has captained Sanchez so a one pointer would be most welcome now.

    Yes he is. So definitely coming in. Guaranteed a 1 pt cameo now :(...

    All my hopes are now towards Wenger to fully rest Sanchez (my captain) so that Silva gets the armband and Siggy subs in...

    Considering the bench players they have - Cech, Schurrle, Salah, Mikel, Luis - it's amazing really.

    Strongest squad in the PL but Mourinho just doesn't do rotation.
