We've Acquired A Bit Of A Nasty Streak

A hard fought game today. We knew we how Mourinho was gonna set his team up.
Disappointed we couldn't take our half chances.

Cutting to the chase. I liked how we displayed a bit of a craftiness towards end with our little cynical fouls. Unfortunately all the top teams do this. Not a very sporting gesture. But it's necessary.
We stopped Chelsea breaking in very dangerous positions. And we combated them quite well in midfield. Ramsey and Coquelin in particular were fantastic.

Add another physical DM, a sharper striker and a CB and we're good to go.

professional fouls are to be commended.

It's not the same thing as raking someone's Achilles, for me that is dirty and over the mark.

all sides have always taken cynical fouls when they're about to get mullered on the counter. Including Arsenal.

Not sure why this is something to mention. You've always done it as have everyone else.

Managers would drop you if you didn't.

Arsenal fans complain we didn't attack and then write articles praising their team for cynical fouls that stopped our attacks.
You couldn't make it up.

No, you're just a scúmmy team full stop. There's no causality there

A chelsea fan implies that his team were unable to attack because every time they tried they were stopped in their tracks by a cynical foul despite the fact that we probably made 3 of these all game. You couldn't make it up.
