I am sad I was hoping he would stay for many years, but at this stage he did seem incapable of preventing a total meltdown.

Wut? He hasn't stayed for many years anywhere (unless you call three seasons "many years"), he's just not a "legacy" kind of coach, he is for the short term only and becomes toxic after a while.

The new coach will get an easy start with Sunderland at home. Unless Chelsea somehow loses that but that seriously in no way could ever happen.

Chelsea's first act should be to reinstate that nice doctor.

Leicester!

Fixing something that isn't broken will be the new Chelsea boss' job. And best of luck with that.

If one says three or more wins out of the last four games makes a team in form, then those currently so in the premiership are Leicester, Crystal Palace, Watford and Bournemouth.

Ah, well, Gaal is surely done in United so they need someone, Mourinho?

Also, Barcelona is just fucking magic in the CWC final.

River had a some good 15-20 minutes where they were able to get under our skin, argie-style, but once we got going it was a fine game.

Knew it was a bad time to play Chelsea.
If only Jose had hung on another week
