• Mourinho humble in defeat
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admitted his side's 3-0 defeat at Middlesbrough was the worst of his reign after a humbling afternoon on Teesside.
Goals from Fabio Rochemback, Stewart Downing and Aiyegbeni Yakubu condemned the reigning champions to just their third Barclays Premiership defeat in 64 attempts under the Portuguese and left the manager in philosophical mood.
'When you lose, it is always a bad day, especially when you don't lose a lot of times,' he said.
'In my time at Chelsea, this is the third defeat in the Premiership and you can say it was the worst.
'We lost last season to Manchester City 1-0 and we didn't deserve it; we lost this season at Manchester United 1-0 and we didn't deserve it; we lost today 3-0 - we deserved it.
'I think 3-0 is too much, of course it's too much. Of course they didn't play to score three goals. In the second half, they played with 10 defenders and they played in a strip of 20 metres.
'But the game is about 90 minutes, it's not about 45 minutes and overall, because of their attitude and because of the way the game was, because of the way they fought from the first minute, I think they deserved the three points and we deserved to be punished by the defeat.'
Mourinho insisted he was not surprised by Boro's performance despite their lowly league position, and admitted his side had inspired more than one fightback.
'Chelsea have been expert and giving new life to teams,' he said.
'It happened against (Real) Betis - they didn't win a game for a long time and they beat Chelsea; Everton were losing consecutive matches and were bottom of the league and we give them the points that starts their improvement, and today, it was the same.
'We have given life to people in very difficult circumstances.'
Boro were ahead with less than two minutes gone when Brazilian Rochemback claimed his first goal for the club, and after Chelsea rallied, Downing added a second on the stroke of half-time before Yakubu killed off any hopes of a second-half revival with a 68th-minute strike.
'We started very slowly and conceded a ridiculous goal in the first minute, and we had to get to the second half at 1-0, not 2-0,' said Mourinho.
'We conceded again a stupid goal and the third goal for me didn't matter. The third goal was a consequence of everything.
'The players were saying in the dressing room at 1-0, we should have had a penalty because it was handball in their box, and at 1-1, the result could have been different.
'But on that performance, I cannot speak about referees. Even if it's true - I want to see it on TV - if it's a penalty, it's just one.'

well boro is ah side well capable of beating the best in the epl..they does just underachieve too much......remember they hit united 4 last year so this shouldnt be too much of a surprise......gallas is ah big part of chelsea success in defense....that man does play everywhere across the back so with him out one of the reasons they defense look so weak
-
A Speedy Nigerian Forward took the game to them. T&T can do the same against England. Dont give big side time to settle, it works every time. They did the same to Man United and gave them four last October.

dats y i love football its any man on his day

This just demonstrates once again that only TRULY GREAT teams can go through an entire season undefeated.
Now "GREAT" has to be qualified. In this instance, "GREAT is GREAT in EPL Terms". But a "GREAT team" in EPL Terms is of lesser value than that of say La Liga or Italian League. Doesn't diminish the value of the achievement, but just puts it in perspective.

jose must realize he nor chelsea are invinceable.get ready because it have alot more to come. :devil: :devil: :devil:
-
preach to them palos, i like how you going subliminal on them :beermug:

Both Manning and Bush get voted as the best choices also, so that doesn't say much.
It all depends on the electorate and in the case of the EPL it is the most watched league (Palos would say the most over-hyped league) in the world so it is not really a fair vote.

Preach it Palos :devil:
Anyway, its interesting that Barca and Chelsea just lose after long winning streaks.
-
Palos reaching for straws again. I guess by great he means shitty shitty Assnal huh? Sure looks like they winning the league this year...
Great to me and most others would surely be 8 titles in 11 seasons... I like that definition better.
-
Middlesbrough strange yes...they will beat Man Ure 4-1 and den lose 7-0 to Arsenal...den dey will tie Coventry City 1-1 (no offense tuh Stern ;D ) and now beat runaway Chelsea 3-0.
