Well now, this is getting ugly. Ugly indeed. I figured Mourinho would be gone by the end of the weekend, but he battles on, defiant. His post-match interview following his side’s sixth defeat in 11 Premier League matches was…
Just what the hell has happened to Chelsea? The Blues swashbuckled their way to the title last year, effectively wrapping things up with a mesmerising run prior to Christmas. This season has been the polar opposite. It started with…
