Arsenal looked comfortable until Wenger did his substitutions. Wenger always looks a nervous wreck on the bench and hasn't got a clue how to celebrate a goal properly.

What does "celebrate a goal properly" mean?

Run to the opposition fans, drop your pants and wave your bum at them, race back along the touchline flicking Vs at their goalkeeper and shake an Imaginary coke bottle towards their dugout.

That's what I call properly.

Aagh, thank you. I thought it might have been something puerile and childish!

Why do you say that results on the pitch will become more consistent if he stops treating the club as a plaything? Excepting the crap EPL results (CL is fine) of the last 4 months can you seriously call Chelsea's on pitch results inconsistent in the Abramovich era?

Trophies won:

1 x Champions League

1 x Europa League

4 x Premier League

4 x FA cup

3 x League Cup

2 x Community Shield

***

Consistently ranked in top 5 (sometimes 3) in EUEFA coefficients.

***

Position in EPL since 2003/4 to 2014/15:

2 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 3 - 1

***

Now, as a CFC fan I am biased of course, but even someone with a total objectivity by-pass could hardly say that Chelsea's on pitch performance is inconsistent in the RA era.

Interesting stat from an article in the Guardian today re Mourinho, quote here -

"In the eight seasons after taking the Porto job, Mourinho won six league titles and two Champions Leagues. Since going to Madrid in 2010 he has won just two league titles".

Perhaps, like many before him his best years are behind him and other sides know how to cope with his strategies. It isn't easy to keep re-inventing yourself.

He doesn't even know how to clench his fist let alone do the fist pump when they score, watch him try it is quite funny.

Your quite right. I remember, a long time ago, that Alf Ramsey actually STOOD UP when Geoff Hurst scored an important goal. How on earth are you expected to win anything with emotions like that!!

9/10 on both Got Ibrox wrong, looking at the lion rampant thought it was VP and for some reason didn't recognise Craven Cottage.
