The teams: Chelsea v Manchester United

Antonio Conte names an unchanged side from the one which beat Leicester City 3-0 a week ago meaning Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Gary Cahill continue as the three-man defence.
Victor Moses, a scorer last week, and Marco Alonso will operate as wing-backs while Pedro makes his 50th appearance for the Blues.
John Terry is named among the substitutes, where he is joined by both Willian and Oscar, who missed last week's game having been given compassionate leave.
Former Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata starts on the bench for the visitors, while both Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic start. Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford will operate out wide for United.

Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 3-4-3 formation:
Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Matic, Kante, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard.
Subs: Begovic, Aina, Terry , Chalobah, Oscar, Willian, Batshuayi.

Manchester United are expected to line up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation:
De Gea; Valencia, Smalling (c), Bailly, Blind; Herrera, Fellaini; Rashford, Pogba, Lingard; Ibrahimovic.
Subs: Romero, Darmian, Rojo, Carrick, Mata, Young, Martial.

Chelsea 1-0 man-United.

airmark:
I just read what moses said about mou, and i am starting to believe he caused most of the problems we had last term .
Moses: "I'm delighted to be back," Moses told ESPN FC. "I thought I did well in my first season here, but due to circumstances – a manager [Rafa Benitez] going, a manager [Mourinho] coming in – I wasn't really given a chance.
"[Mourinho] never spoke to me. I thought in my head, 'He's got his own players already.'
"The manager who is here now [Conte] is giving everyone a chance – even the young lads. I'm pleased that he's here and I've just got to go out there and enjoy my football.
"As long as you work hard, the manager will see it and he'll give you an opportunity."
No wonder we lost good players like kdb and co.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte needs to stop blaming Jose Mourinho

It’s been ten months since Jose Mourinho was last in charge of Chelsea football club. Antonio Conte would still have you believe that the players at Stamford Bridge are still scarred by his tenure. It’s time for Conte to stop using Mourinho’s reign as an excuse for his current struggles.
I have to admit that I was fairly surprised to hear Conte make statements about how his current players are still reeling for Mourinho’s mind games. In particular, the former Italy boss claimed it’s “very difficult” to lift some of his player’s spirits after the disappointment of last year. Forgive me for my blunt reaction, but isn’t managing the mental state of the squad squarely in Conte’s job description?

I suppose I could understand this issue if Mourinho had just left the club. That isn’t what we’re talking about here. Again, it’s been ten months since he left Stamford Bridge. Every returning member of the squad has experienced a caretaker manager and a full offseason since his departure. That should be more than enough time to get over hurt feelings.

In the end, that’s the only thing Chelsea players can really blame Mourinho for. The majority of them experienced quite a bit of success under The Special One. The good times included a pretty dominant season which concluded with a Premier League title.
Want your voice heard? Join the Playing for 90 team!

Yes, the end was a disaster, but Chelsea’s professional football players should have put Mourinho’s reign behind them by now. The fact that Conte is still using him as an excuse should be very troubling for the fans at Stamford Bridge.

It speaks to Conte’s own inability to connect with the squad. Does anyone really believe that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool squad is still suffering from the malaise of the Brendan Rodgers era? Absolutely not. The reason is that Klopp’s magnetic personality makes it easy for his squad to forget about the struggles of the past.
Conte doesn’t have that sort of magnetism. He’s an excellent tactician, but he doesn’t have the personality to bind players to him emotionally. That lack of charisma is causing him a great deal of trouble at the moment.

Instead of facing those troubles head on, Conte is opting to make Mourinho a scapegoat. That might satisfy some Chelsea fans and perhaps even Roman Abramovich in the short-term, but it’s a flimsy excuse that will fall apart quickly. The sooner Antonio Conte stops blaming Jose Mourinho for Chelsea’s struggles, the sooner he can succeed at Stamford Bridge.

Tyrant!! I will definitely miss it.

[size=14pt]Jose Mourinho's return to Chelsea is like bumping into an ex-girlfriend you haven't got over... what makes him great when he is yours is what gets under your skin when he isn't[/size]
pt]By Callum West For Mailonline
[b]Jose Mourinho and Manchester United face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
He is making his first return to the club since being sacked late last year
Mourinho turned Chelsea from a good cup team into one which won titles
His trophy successes at Inter Milan and Real Madrid gave me a warm glow
But he is now the enemy at United and I'll be glad when the game is over.
It's not unusual for Manchester United to be amongst the first home fixtures I look for when they're announced in July.

United may not be Chelsea's biggest rivals - derbies against Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham have always been games that whet the appetite - while traditionally Leeds, and more recently Liverpool, have been our foremost northern adversaries.
But make no mistake, they're a team we have always relished getting one over.

Indeed, for large parts of the Premier League era the match has been crucial in the title race. A fixture the season can hang on.
There have been many great victories over them in my 25 years of going to Stamford Bridge, from Gavin Peacock scoring against the run of play, through Jody Morris' trumpet celebration in a 5-0 mauling, to Joe Cole's title-sealing solo effort. It is also a fixture we have historically done well in.

However, it was with a sense of dread this year that I looked for United at home. I've never felt more trepidation about a Chelsea vs Manchester United game than I have for Sunday's clash.
It is a feeling that transcends what might happen on the pitch, just as Jose Mourinho's return transcends the positive/negative reception debate of a former hero returning as a foe.
I'll lay my cards on the table: I loved Jose Mourinho, and still have feelings of adoration for the man who turned the Chelsea I had grown up with - a great cup side but perennial nearly men when it came to the very top honours - into a side that won titles at a canter.
A man who has won three of the club's five league titles and three of the four in living memory for many.
The man who beat the badge on his chest at Anfield, who told us to keep our chins up at the Emirates and memorably instructed his entire squad to throw their shirts into the crowd following a hard-fought evening victory at Ewood Park en route to our first title in 50 years in 2005.
Games: 321
Won: 204
Drawn: 69
Lost: 48

Honours: Premier League (2004-05, 2005-06, 2014-15), FA Cup (2007), League Cup (2005, 2007, 2015), Community Shield (2005)
However, I can also see the potential for things to go sour, for Mourinho to antagonise the crowd, Conte or the players if it is for his benefit.

What makes him great when he is yours is exactly what gets under your skin when he isn't, and for the first time since he strolled into Stamford Bridge in 2004 he isn't ours.
At Inter Milan and Real Madrid I was happy to see him succeed, his treble with the former and title with the latter gave me the kind of warm glow you get when you hear of the achievements of a distant relative.
He was managing another team in another country and aside from two games as Inter Milan manager he was never in direct competition with Chelsea. While we had a fine side who won the domestic double that season, over the two games Inter were on a different level to us.
However, that all changed when he became Manchester United manager. Now he is in direct competition with us. Our success and his failure, and vice versa, are dependent on one another.

When a well-loved player or manager leaves a club for another within the same country it is normally under one of three scenarios.
Chelsea fans were pleased to see Mourinho lift the Champions League with Inter Milan in 2010
It can be towards the end of their career and they are going to play at a significantly lower level and they will be given a hero's welcome should they return - much like when Kerry Dixon played against Chelsea for Luton at Wembley.
Or they make an aspirational move to a more successful club and whilst you're disappointed they've gone, you don't begrudge them the move. This doesn't really happen at Chelsea any more but if you go back nearly 40 years this would be like Ray Wilkins' move to Manchester United.
Or, lastly, they're akin to Judas and you despise them like Gordon Durie.

Mourinho doesn't even nearly fit into any of these. His return seems to me like bumping into an ex-girlfriend you haven't really got over. There's plenty of happy memories but something raw and a lingering sense of what could have been.

I could never give a man who has given me so many happy memories a bad reception, but in a world where football has become increasingly black and white, where you are either loved or loathed and nuance is in short supply, in what box do you put Chelsea and Mourinho?

I'm not really sure, and I'll be happy when it's all over.

Chelsea 2004/05 under Jose Mourinho were youngest average Premier League winners

Revealed: Mourinho, not Ferguson, had Premier League's youngest title winners
If Manchester United fans are concerned about Jose Mourinho’s willingness to use young players, these stats may be of some comfort.

One major question mark hanging over the former Chelsea boss’ head ahead of taking the job at Old Trafford was over his record in that department, and whether or not he could change his ways to respect United’s traditions.
However, it may surprise some to see that his 2004/05 title-winning side had the youngest average age of any champions in the Premier League era.

Ages of major Chelsea stars at start of 04/05
23 – John Terry, Tiago
22 – Petr Cech, Joe Cole
20 – Arjen Robben
19 – Glen Johnson, Robert Huth
Narrowly ahead of Manchester United’s 1995/96 team – you know, the one that prompted Alan Hansen to warn United they ‘can’t win anything with kids’ – that Blues squad had an average age of 24 years and three months.

United’s average age in ’96 was 25, so Mourinho may well be the ideal heir to Sir Alex Ferguson, despite his reputation as only trusting big-name signings and experienced players.
That Chelsea side was built around the likes of Petr Cech and John Terry, who were 22 and 23 respectively at the start of that campaign, and very much became the world class players they are known as today under Mourinho’s expert guidance.

Wingback:
TBH, Ronaldo is why I like Real Madrid...A club is the utmost priority no matter what...We support the club, it's 11 players on the pitch not a superstar that determines results.

Ask Arsenal fans how they felt after Robin Van Persie...If you can't put your team first then you just made of plastic.

OK. Maybe my context was wrong about manu fans in the sense that they were already manu fans before Ronaldo came. But what about the Madrid fans who became Madrid fans because of Ronaldo but have since got to know the club and love the club and it's history. How will they feel if Ronaldo leaves for Barça? Not out of spite for Madrid but the purpose of maintaining relevance in the game.

raumdeuter:
So if CHelsea plays Man Utd to determine the winner of the CL or will determine who win the league or relegate.

You will remain neutral?

Of course no individual is greater than the club. I will definitely support Chelsea, Considering the very high stakes. But I would really like the die hard Ronaldo Man United fans to sincerely tell me how they felt when Madrid played against them.

Kolade354:
lyk seriously
Fucck mou,the love story is over.

Of course, that's the harsh reality in football but despite the negative end to his stint with us or the negative feelings some ungrateful Chelsea fans might have for him.
It's just quite difficult to forget what he did for us ESPECIALLY the first time. He played the largest role in making us what/who we are today. Many may not say this but whoever became a Chelsea fan between 2004 to 2007 was primarily because of him. He was box office. He was the face of English football then. He took Chelsea right to the very top and his team would go on to achieve greater things for the next decade. His second stint might not have been as enthralling as the first but he still proved to his doubters that he still had it in him.
many fans have pointed to this my earlier article below but via some whatsapp Chelsea group, I realized there were very many fans who felt the same.

https://www.nairaland.com/3122633/important-question-chelsea-fans-mourinhos

donjazet:
With the imminent appointment of José to man united, I am suddenly Doubting my loyalty to Chelsea football club, I am sort of confused who I'll support right now and this is my reason.

I knew about football in 2002 at the age of 13 through the world cup that year, we were the only house that had cable in the area then and pple flocked our house to watch national matches. This made me pick an interest in football but I really didn't know much about any team bar Nigerian team.
I then knew about the EPL in 2003 but wasn't a fan of any team. Pple around me were mostly arsenal fans then because of kano nwankwo but I wasnt really influenced.

I was a neutral for about 2years and within this period was when José came to the EPL. And of course left everyone in football in awe. He changed the dynamic of football in england. He introduced a new formation in england that no one could match (433). He exuded great exuberance and charisma that inspired many and dare I say he was loved by all except of course our bitter rivals (arsenal, Liverpool and man u) who now had a new competitor.

And this was when I made my choice!!! By the summer of 2006, at 16, Chelsea had just won the trophy back to back, [size=16pt]thus making mourinho a 4th time consecutive league winner.[/size] My arsenal friends then were silenced by this man and thus I made my decision. This man literally drew my attention to Chelsea and I loved his success and I loved the ambition of this club hence my decision to support them.

The first time he left, I was really angry and sad, although he can't be exonerated of all blames, he wasn't the root cause, players were forced on him and this led to an array of issues, I was hurt but decided to continue to support basically because I was consoled by the fact that he was going far away, not a rival and more so he had already laid a solid foundation upon which we would build. Years passed and I was correct, the club built on that foundation and became one of the powerhouses in Europe. He himself would go on to acclaim more successes along the way and setting records.. THIS MAN WENT ON A NINE YEAR UNBEATEN HOME LEAGUE RECORD WITH THREE DIFFERENT TEAMS. I could be forgiven for saying he was directly responsible for the success which we have had and for that I will forever be grateful to him.

All these years my love for Chelsea grew more, I decorated my locker and room in secondary school and now university with Chelsea colours stickers and paraphernalia, I have had the highs and lows, I have enjoyed mocking arsenal fans till date, in all, I have enjoyed being a Chelsea fan.

When he came back the second time, I was happy and anxious to see how well things would turn out to be then, because it would be an understatement to say the club was very unstable. He came and tried his best. He was fired and now...

Now he is moving to a direct rival and I am at a crossroad as to who to support because I still adore his success and tactical acumen. Pls what do I do?

You see, in football, there are really heartbreaking moments you experience, as a Chelsea fan we've had dozens of that!!!b Mourinhos inter Milan winning us, iniestas late goal against us, lampard scoring against us with a major league rival, peter cech almost dying on the pitch, john terrys penalty miss in a champions league final!!! And many more! But these are MOMENTS one will eventually recover from because they are scarce, but in this case, we will be faced with this debacle day in day out. Because you can't wish mourinho be successful and wish Manchester united, a major rival succeed. You get?? And as I said he was the reason I first joined this club although I have grown to really love our club!! I still love him very much!!!


People might want to say you're not a true fan or shit like that but no!!! That's not true, its just that I acknowledge the fact that he brought me here and now I dont know if I can stand being his rival.

I might be the most outspoken loyalist of Jose but I am certainly not alone in my stance of being neutral on Sunday.

Neutral in this one

Remembering Chelsea legend Matthew Harding 20 years after his death in a helicopter crash

Saturday marks 20 years since the untimely death of Matthew Harding;

The morning of 22nd October 1996 could not stand clearer in the mind.

Crisp, autumnal. The alarm went off, and the news sounded a curious lead item – given the many things going on in the world at the time.

A helicopter had crashed on the way back from Chelsea's League Cup tie at Bolton. I'm sure many who heard it, like me, from that moment knew...

It wasn't until later in the morning that Harding was named in the media: just 42, and the man who had brought riches, and a long forgotten sniff of glory to the club he loved like the rest of us.

Harding was not the only one to lose his life, as the craft collided with the ground and exploded in flames near Middlewich, in Cheshire: pilot Michael Goss, 38; businessman Tony Burridge, 39; Raymond Deane, 43; and journalist John Bauldie, 47, all perished with him.

But it was Harding, already a folk hero, who was unquestionably the best known.

To many youngsters, or newcomers to the club he helped build, Matthew Harding is nothing but an 'End'.

But he was arguably as important in the germination of the seeds that became the Chelsea we now know, as Roman Abramovich – who did not arrive for seven years hence.

Harding liked to paint himself as one of us: a football supporter who got lucky.
That was only part true: he was born into a family already insulated from life's challenges by money from the insurance industry; he went to the long established Abingdon fee-paying school in Oxfordshire.
But he was clearly different to his peers.
School wasn't for him: all those fees yielded just one A-level, in Latin.
And through blood ties he was given the leg-up that was to make him the man he became: into the insurance business.

There, he flourished: starting as tea boy, and raising to a position as director and major shareholder, with a fortune estimated by the time of his death of around £170m.

But, throughout, he made sure to maintain his man of the people image.
His fame, particularly among Chelsea's support, grew as the game shook off the negative connotations of the 80s, and became a more celebrated and inclusive leisure pursuit in the 90s.
Holding court in The Imperial, on The Kings Road, it would not be unusual for him to announce that Guinness was on him: and for him to get a round in for the pub.

He would arrive pre-match in a replica shirt, switching it for suit and tie for the stadium's posh seats before leaving.
When Ken Bates called for investors, in 1994, he was the obvious target: and he sunk around £26.5m into the club – a sum which wouldn't buy a fullback now, but was an absolute fortune in football terms back then.

It helped rebuild the ground, and the team - under the leadership of first Glenn Hoddle, then Ruud Gullit.

But this is no hagiography.

There were those who he rubbed-up the wrong way with his notable ego: principally the then Chelsea Chairman Ken Bates, for good or bad.

With the pair at loggerheads for some time, club business could painfully stagnate.
His personal relationships, a matter which gleaned much tabloid coverage both before his death and after, were a matter mainly for he and those close to him more than anything.

And there were questions about the way he used his political influence: hobnobbing with Conservative cabinet ministers, and then Prime Minister John Major, in hospitality at Stamford Bridge; while donating £1m to Tony Blair's New Labour.

But the overwhelming tide of tales remains positive.
More than anything, Harding will be remembered as a passionate fan of the club, who loved life, and wanted to make a difference.

One of the great tragedies was that he was not there to see the fruit of his investment: Chelsea won their first major trophy in a generation, the 1997 FA Cup, seven months after his death.
Two decades later, and he lives on: in the name of that Stamford Bridge north stand he largely paid to rebuild; and in the title of the club's independent fanzine – never to be forgotten.
Chelsea have reached impossible-to-imagine new heights since, and have received benevolence to swamp his investment.

But, because he was one of us, we will forever be Matthew Harding's Blue And White Army.

No, the helicopter pilot was not qualified for navigation by instrument reading only. Weather was bad on that day and he needed to climb to a higher altitude as a low cloud meant he would be running into hills. He tried climbing in poor visibility using instrument reading only and tailspun out of control. With the low clouds and hilly terrain that day, he should have cancelled the flight by law but it was his first contract with Harding and he was desperate to impress.

Desperate to impress kwa

You dey use person life dey do "desperate to impress"
Some people eh!!!

Ibime:
Very interesting. . . .nice read. I only caught the tail end of Matthew Harding era and was not sure exactly what his financial interest in the club was.

Will it be way out of line to say his death(helicopter crash) is very suspicious? N

I don't even know where to start!! But the fact that the guy doesn't even know the meaning/interpretation of the park-the-bus mantra simply means he is ranting unnecessarily or his understanding of the game is weak.
