But you didn't win and West Ham had the best chance.
Jose Mourinho Sack Watch

Well yes, but what's your point?
Your post suggests that you dealt with time wasting amazingly well.
Not at all - we failed, hence we only drew the match. With cooler finishing, West Ham would've won; for instance, I couldn't believe Zarate's miss.
It's also bizarre, it shows how important the psychological side to performance is because that team is at least top four material and then with a manager like Jose they should be where we are.
I was probably one of the few who couldn't believe that team was romping to the league last year. Chelsea early 2000s it wasn't. But put it down to Mourinho 2nd season magic.
Glad it's worn off .
2 points above relegation now with an away trip to Leicester, if Mourinho fails to win depending on results elsewhere they could slip into the relegation zone, but whatever happens the following weekend game at Sunderland will be worth six points in his bid to avoid relegation.
They've got a horrible run of away fixtures. Said it a few weeks ago that they needed to be winning their home games if they have any hope of getting Europa. Leicester have a chance of really embarrassing them next week.
dressing room lost, lets see who he'll fall out with next.
Cortouis maybe on his return.

On course to lose 20 games this season. Epic
Ferguson just said they would be insane to sack him, that'd be bad management from Roman who he thinks has learned from his past mistakes.
On the one hand, he would say that wouldnt he.
On the other, I actually agree with him. They should stick with Mourinho, he is still a top, top (top?) manager.
Yeah. I mean, while that was pretty much true last year as well, and pretty much true of Hazard since he arrived, it seems as though complacency has crept in after winning the league at a canter.
Haha.
A bit presumptious of SAF
They've waited too long now, it could be in Roman's mind there's no manager that could rescue a top 4 place from this position so they'd be getting a new manager in just to salvage a top half finish, which is rather meaningless to them. So the real question is who do they want to start next season as manager... If he wants to give Jose another shot, new season, fresh start (of sorts), they may just have to endure this season which is already likely to be a write off anyway even if a new manager brought a change of fortunes.
I've read that Bournemouth players ran a total of 9km more than the Chelsea players.
Surely this can't be true? And if so, it shows that the Chelsea players have:
a) given up
b) are cooked
c) a little from column a, and a little from column b

That was what Danny Murphy said on MOTD.
I imagine he was given the stat by the Beebs researcher who should have access to the correct info.
They're going to beat Leicester now, aren't they? The cnut....
He was fantastic on Sky.
That's ridiculous then. There's no excuses for putting in such a complete and utter lack of effort.
Essentially every Bournemouth out-field player an just under a kilometer more than their Chelsea opponents. Crazy.
Yeah, it definitely suggests that Mourinho has lost the dressing room which he will struggle to get back.
It's alright though, he's getting on super lovely with Hazard and his dossiers on how to be an ineffective striker.
Wouldn't read too much into that...its probably a function of Bournemouth having to play on the counter and hence having to down more legwork to get up and down.
It could be that the gap is larger than it would be for games between two sides with such a massive gulf in quality though. I do believe Chelsea are not motivated enough, bizarrely.
Oh yeah fair point actually.
I suppose I should find some figures from other games at least to have something to compare them to.

Seems Bournemouth are running the most of any team in the league, Chelsea in 13th.
Villa the least.....
EDIT: That says enough on it's own, considering Mourinho's love of work rate.

Did anyone see Mikel and Costa giggling away once Bournemouth scored and the SKY cameras went to the Chelsea bench ?
Another press conference, another display of utter immaturity and pedantry from Jose. Honestly it is hard to believe that such a successful manager can crack up to this sort of degree.
Any links?
BBC report reads strangely. He quibbled about a lot of language apparently, but at the very end of the report it says he was affable and friendly? 
Exactly, there is no point in firing Mourniho now, even if we lose to Porto. What could a new manager achieve this season?
As our club has found out, once the confidence has been destroyed it is very difficult to get it back. Think you're going to struggle much like we have under Van Gaal for the next season or two. Good luck.
He's always been a wanker. The thing is he's slightly less of one when winning and wanker behaviour is perceived as some indicator of genius when the results are going for you.
If we've got one thing right in our post SAF managerial uncertainty it's that we haven't managed to employ him
Another manager may invigorate the team, play some youth players and just get the team playing well and looking good to watch again. The problem with Mourinho is he isn't taking this write off of a season to develop the squad for the future or try and play good football. At the rate we are going we will be relegated with Mourinho. He also is embarrassing in every single interview with his stupid outbursts.
Why won't he just use the young players? He has nothing to lose.
He says he will use them when he has nothing to win. He has admitted we wont get top 4 this season now but still wont play them. He just doesn't want to.
Long story short, he's an arsehole and full of shit.
