Chelsea - classes whiners

Anyone who watched this weekend's game between Fulham and Chelsea would have seen the clown prince of the Premiership, Mourinho, putting on his usual act on the side lines. After the game the Clown Prince complained that the referees cost his over paid compilation of footballers a win versus the struggling Cottagers. His primary complaint was that the Drogba goal was only disallowed after the referee sucumbing to much harassment from Fulham consulted with the assistant referee and ruled that Drogba had played the ball with his arm.

First. The referee did the proper thing, there was doubt as to the validity of the goal and he took the time and consulted with his assitant, after simple discussion they got the call right.

Second. If anyone should complain it is Fulham, there was a clear penaly in the first half that should have been called on Terry who blatantly hacked down the Fulham striker in the box.

Finally. The Chelsea team acted in a classes manner at the end of the game, Gallas' foul was inexcusable and his actions as he left the pitch even more sophmoric.

Chelsea is the football class of the Premiership, but they are showing that they are completely classes in all other aspects. And this starts from the top, Mourinho is a complete clown. From his self made rivalry with Weger, where he slinks off the pitch without shaking Weger's hand, to his whining and showmanship versus Barca, all he has done is demonstrated that he is a poor loser and and ingracious winner. The rest of the bunch do not shower themselves in glory either. Drogba constantly complains about every call that goes against him, Essein has demonstrated some lapses in sanity with his tackles, Robben dives and complains at every turn....As was stated on FoxSports, Chelsea are rapidly becoming the most hated team in football. They are destined to flounder under their own weight, I will only be too happy to watch them do so.

I only wish they were not getting Adidas to provide their kits next year.....
