Jose Mourinho wants referee Chris Foy to stop handling Chelsea games

What can separate Jose Mourinho from the spotlight? Nothing so far. In the wake of Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday and the dismissal of
Willian and Ramires for second bookable offences, the Portuguese coach has urged Premier League committee to stop assigning referee Chris Foy to Chelsea games. The aggrieved boss who was sent to the stands after confronting Foy shortly before the match ended deems it helpful if they don’t see him again.
“Maybe it is helpful that the committee doesn’t send him to our matches. I don’t have the right to request that. It’s just that I think they have to analyse the situation and see. Every time he has Chelsea – or not every time, but many times he has Chelsea and the problems are there. I think maybe it would be a good decision. Mistakes are part of the job for referees, even big mistakes which are crucial to the result.”
Meanwhile, FA will await Chris Foy’s report before deciding if to charge Jose Mourinho.

Yaya Toure on Jose Mourinho. "He talks more than before"

I really don’t know the correlation between his team’s recent defeat at the UEFA Champions League and Jose Mourinho’s input. Manchester City midfielder, who insisted the game would have favoured them if a “good referee had officiated” has slammed Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho for always talking about everyone. (coaches, players and teams I guess)
According to Marca, the three time CAF award-winner said, “I think he talks more than before, perhaps because the English press likes it. He is a coach and he must give respect a little bit. He is always talking about everyone and that is not the correct way. That is why Barcelona always beat Madrid when Mourinho was here in Spain.”

From Tito to Drogba! Didier Drogba joins Samuel Eto, Frank Lampard, Theo Walcott in comic book world

Galatasaray striker, Didier Drogba’s fans will now have the opportunity to read everything they want to know about their hero. Just like the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Frank Lampard and Theo Walcott, the Ivorian is warming up to launch his comic book. Titled ‘From Tito to Drogba’ (Tito being his childhood nickname), the cartoon series will chronicle the former Chelsea star’s childhood days and his successful football career in Ivory Coast and England.

“It is a fun way to learn lots of things about me and to show young people that, if they do what I did, they can achieve their objectives. The most important thing is to show you can exceed your dreams. For me, football has become my job, my way of making a living, and that in turn has allowed me to meet many famous people, to be a UNICEF ambassador”. The 35 year-old told sports reporters.

Gabin Bao, the 36 year-old Ivorian behind the project said Drogba was open to the idea of the book.
“I met him several times after we did the deal and he really liked the idea of sending a message to young Africans. Some people say I’ve made him too perfect. But he is like that. He is very careful about his image because he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.”
The book will be released in Turkey, where his current club is located; Brazil, ahead of the World Cup and in Britain where he is most revered especially among Chelsea fans.

DIDIER DROGBA TO LEAVE CHELSEA FOR CHINA

After spending eight years at the Stamford Bridge, Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba has confirmed his plans of leaving Chelsea for a club in Shinghai, China.

The 34-year-old who was highly instrumental to the Blues' UEFA Champions League win over German side Bayern Munich on Saturday reportedly burst into tears when
he told the rest of the squad during their open top bus parade with the trophy on Sunday.

"We (he and his team-mates) will
not be together next season, As I have decided to leave, I wanted to tell them to their faces. Only that I couldn't do it. They made me break down. Even if it has been three
years that I have said I wanted to leave, I found it hard to admit that it was finished with me and the club.

Especially that I had no great desire for this end. But I don't envisage sitting on the bench watching others play at a time when the club is looking at putting together a new team. So there we go, I am readying myself for a great leap into the unknown. It will be another adventure," Drogba stated.

He's expected to move to Shanghai Shenhua, where his former Chelsea
team-mate Nicolas Anelka is.

Awwwww! So emotional, it isn't easy to leave people you've been with for 8 years.
Goodluck Drogba! It isn't a bad time to leave.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINALS: JOSE MOURINHO WRITES CHELSEA OFF

I will never stop adoring Mourinho. Is this the same man who is (allegedly) expected to make his way back to Stamford bridge next season? Why not? Mourinho is blunt anyways either he is resuming in stamford bridge this night or not he says it as it is.

The ex chelsea coach during a short interview this morning said he doesn't see the Blues beating spanish team Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.

His words: "Let me be honest, I don't think the final will be a Real Madrid/Chelsea final. It could be Bayern or Barcelona, I just don't think it will be Real Madrid v Chelsea and we know why."

The 49 year-old Portuguese who termed the Barcelona team "super-favourites" had his team join the final four after an 8-2 victory over Apoel Nicosia last night.

He also believes Bayern Munich would prove their worth when Real Madrid faces them
"Bayern is a very powerful opponent. It is a team I know well as it is almost the same side that I played when I was the coach of Inter Milan in the Champions League final two years ago and they have great individual players.
The players and myself are looking forward to what should be a great semi-final." He concluded.

Chelsea players must have heard this and have strongly vowed to prove him wrong. April 18 will surely tell!!!

CHELSEA COACH, ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS GETS THE BOOT

Andre Villas-Boas

Less than a year after becoming a coach at the Stamford Bridge, Andre Villas-Boas has been sacked.
It is not unlikely that the decision to end the 34 year-old Portuguese’s job was as a result of Chelsea’s defeat against West Brom on saturday.

According to the club release, “Andre Villas-Boas has parted company with Chelsea Football Club today.
The board would like to record our gratitude for his work and express our disappointment that the relationship has ended so early.
Unfortunately the results and performances of the team have not been good enough and were showing no signs of improving at a key time in the season.
The club is still competing in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, as well as challenging for a top-four spot in the Premier League, and we aim to remain as competitive as possible on all fronts.
With that in mind we felt our only option was to make a change at this time. With immediate effect Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed first-team coach on an interim basis until the end of the season.”
AVB joined the club in June 2011

but for real, is sacking this man the solution to chelsea’s woes?

"ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS IS WASTING MY SON"

Father of 22 year English footballer and Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge has hit out at Chelsea coach Andre Villas-Boas for under utilizing his son.
According to him, his son rather than being on the right wing will perform better when placed in a central striker position.
Sturridge who broke into the first team in 2009 and has scored 10 goals for chelsea this season affirmed in the past that he's not happy playing his current role .
Sturridge senior talked about his displeasure in seeing his son operate from the wing, rather than as a central striker.

"When Daniel plays in his natural position, which is a central striker, you will see maybe two or three times as much of the player that you see playing on the wings. He can show you a lot more. In terms of potential, we have to see him play in that [central] position to see how far he can go."

JOSE MOURINHO PONDERS CHELSEA RETURN

And who says this isn't possible? Self-acclaimed 'Special One' Jose Mourinho is considering a return to English football with former club Chelsea.
The incumbent Real Madrid manager also showed interest in Manchester United this season.
Meanwhile Andre Villas-Boas, Chelsea boss is already under pressure at Chelsea, as the club are fourth in the Premier League ladder and 12 points behind Manchester City and United.
Mourinho, It would be recalled led the Blues to back-to-back titles in the last decade and could be set for a second stint at Stamford Bridge.

According to an anonymous source, 'Jose would go back to Chelsea, he knows things are a mess there right now. He also knows it would be difficult to go back and make the same impact as before. Winning the Premier League title back to back in his first two years at a club that had not been champions for 50 years was incredible. That's why he's still loved by the fans and why he still loves the club. They were special days. But before agreeing, he would want things very clear between him and Roman Abramovich. He would say "Roman, you are the owner and I am the boss here. Let's work together and the power is in our hands".

Wow! Football fans especially The Blues-supporter, what do you think? In actual fact, Mourinho was the reason I supported Chelsea and the only reason I left….What if the special one comes back?
