Going back a week, I imagine everyone else was as pleased as me to see Chelsea knocked out of the Champions League by a thoroughly superior Barcelona side. Chelski just didn't have the flair to match Ronaldinho, E'too and co., but Mourinho, ever gracious in defeat, said after the match that he thought the better team went out. :: What an arrogant idiot.

If it wasn’t the case of Chelsea employing a reasonable amount of English players in their side, I would not care less for them - I probably would go as far as having a giggle each time they lose, as I do Arsenal. But, especially with the World Cup looming, I want Lampard, Cole, et al to have a good season and carry this on through the summer.
As regards Mourinho and his arrogance, I can see your point, but (possibly not so much now with the latest developments) this man may well have been Sven’s successor! Would we tolerate his arrogance then if he is doing well?
