Title over for us! No complaints from me at all, the players clearly just didn't want it enough. How can I justify that? Being in the position we are in, and given we had a huge chance for the title, you cannot justify such an inept performance like against Crystal Palace. You really can't.
Hope we will sort out the striker situation in the summer. Desperate.

To be honest you have done well to be where you are with the strikers that you have, they are pretty shit tbh! Its a long way from over though, lot more twists and turns yet before the end of the season.

I think we have too, but in the position we've been in, you have to beat Crystal Palace, simple as that. It's over now, we've blown it. No doubt we can still get some more victories this season, but the title is over now.
And yes, farcical our striking situation, utterly farcical.

Opinions on Mourinho P?
I think he's great value aswell as being a brilliant manager but I think he is increasingly childish and has picked up so annoying antics from his time in Spain.
As for his position, assuming you don't win the title now, and there are better teams in the CL who 'should' see you off. Is there a chance Abramovic would rid of him again after a trophyless season? Clearly universally popular with the fans but they don't make the decision.

Rumours are we're selling him in the summer.... But personally, not sure I can see that happening. Depends on what we do, though, i.e. with our current strikers, and who we sign.

Mourinho is a god for us, simple as that!
But some of the things he does/says I don't like. I don't like how sometimes he leaves the tunnel early, it's disrespectful. Not liking it if he doesn't shake a managers hand, either. Sometimes he can be a hypocrite, but so can all managers.
As for the things I like about Jose, they're obvious!
Nope, no chance Roman will sack him, not at all. Chelsea at the moment are still in a bit of a transition, and Jose is pretty much at the forefront of it. Jose obviously only came back in the summer, and he's still trying to sort out previous mess, like our striker situation etc
I think/and hope he's going to be here for a long time. It's different now, Roman is a little different now, too. Sure I imagine he can still be ruthless, but he knows Jose is the best we can have at Chelsea!
The trophies will come, though. Who knows about the CL, dark horses for sure!

Yeah I agree about the going down the tunnel thing. Getting involved with the ball boy yesterday was unnecessary too, given he'd want his ball-boys to slow it down if Chelsea are winning.
I agree, Abramovich probably has learnt his lesson, however the fact you've consistently won something over the last decade regardless of the managerial upheaval may play on his mind?!
Hopefully he is here for a while, the 'top' of the Premier League is ever expanding with more teams competing!

It was, I think it was a bit of frustration and logic. I haven't seen the footage so I don't know how close Azpi was to kicking the kid in the head, but I agree really, no need to do it.
It would of before hand, I'd say, but not now, as said it's a bit different now. Roman I imagine does want more stability, and out of any manager in the world Jose is probably the best manager we could of picked, because Jose himself wants stability, so all the boxes got ticked I'd say.
I hope so as well!

There is not a hope in hell Mourinho is going anywhere.

Can someone please explain to me how Chelsea are out of the title race? From what I can see, it's ridiculously close and the closer it gets to the end of the season, the more desperate the lower sides become and start beating the big guns.

Unlike the majority of United fans?
Terrible logic.

There is nothing worse than Liverpool winning the league. I've been seeing it coming for months and have wanted Chelsea and City to win games but they keep bloody losing them
Tomorrow night is going to be embarrassing for us as well.
