Are Chelsea really going to spend Ā£50m on Diego Costa?
Keep that cunt Luis away from thisā¦
Why did David Luiz sprint at the ball and then sidefoot it? Eejit.
+1. Some pundits will claim Mourinho out-tacticked Simeone to borrow a term used by Sam Allardyce when he guided West Ham to a scoreless draw at Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
But this is pretty grim and bordering on pathetic for a club of Chelseaās riches. Itās like how a lower league team would set up away to a top side away from home in the cup or something. Their wage bill dwarves Atleticoās.
1-minute into the game, I posted about them retreating deep into their own half en masse bar Torres. It was striking how they filtered back so quickly in unison and theyāve stayed like that ever since.
Spot on tactics from Jose bandageā¦if it stays 0-0
Big 90 seconds here for Demba Ba.
Heās the natural successor to Shevchenko and Torres.

Andy has just told us they made Atletico look ordinary? And certainly Atletico havenāt been brilliant but if they have been ordinary, Chelsea have been really poor. There isnāt an awful lot between those half dozen half chances the home side have had and a couple of really clearcut sitters. Chelsea have been devoid of ambition, have adopted the easiest possible gameplan and havenāt been particularly impressive in carrying it out.
JosƩ has done a tactical number on a big opponent!
Fascist salute from Maureen to the Chelsea fans at the end.
I nearly choked on my custard cream when I heard that. Fucking Athletico Madrid, a big opponent?!!!
Shit game-fuck me Chelsea are the most sickening cunts.
Not only did Chelsea park the bus, they successfully managed to block the fucking thing in as well.
Very enjoyable old fashioned bad tempered European match.
Iām surprised that Pat Lampard allowed Fat Frank to get himself suspended on her sixth anniversary.
Chiles waffling on about the battle he and his pundits had to get back on the pitch after the final whistleā¦Why donāt they fuck off to a studio anyway, they all look awkward as fuck standing there on the side of a pitch.
A proper game. Athletico were brutal up front, very limited. Like watching Stoke.
She was overpowered by the 96.
Owen Coyle, āYou canāt score if you donāt hit the targetā
Thatās football.
