Chelsea Still Has Quality: Courtois

Chelsea’s fans directed a colourful chant in the players’ direction asking where they, and the performance they had produced against Sunderland, had been this season. The oddity of the club’s season is that, although there have been different factions within the squad regarding Mourinho, it never escalated into open revolt or disagreement in what has been an oddly muted dressing room.

Abrams’ film is to show, by contrast, how the direction of the previous films was elegant, balanced and above all appropriate. One key scene that many have been asking about is Maz handing a lightsaber to Leia, as seen in the trailers for the film.

Drogba was in the stands alongside owner Roman Abramovich and new interim manager Guus Hiddink to watch Chelsea’s Premier League win over Sunderland on Saturday.

Crews were struggling to get everyone back online by Christmas, and Wheeler says they’ll be hard at work through the weekend. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory that will last through late morning Thursday.

“We will not forget what Jose achieved here during his two spells as manager”.

The industry now loses many millions of dollars in discarded machinery and sophisticated rocket components after each launch. The launch and landing was the company’s first attempt since June, during which a previous rocket exploded mid-flight.

The atmosphere was a little subdued and well quite vitriolic as many fans targeted the likes of Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard for their alleged roles in getting manager Jose Mourinho out.

Hazard, 24, is the reigning Premier League Player of the Year but has struggled this season as Chelsea have lost nine of their 16 games. “Jose hopes that his future after Chelsea this time will be as successful as when he left the club in 2007”. I owe you a lot and we will all miss you.

Terry added, “It’s down to [Hiddink] to come in and pick us up”.

The 52-year-old Portuguese says he intends to get back into a job as soon as possible, but in the meantime, he will be helping “friends” in the cut-throat business of football management. He will demand a lot of players on the training field and matches. “He is ideal to play for us”.

Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of United’s woes to move above them into fourth place on goal difference thanks to a 2-0 win at Southampton.

“We are aware there have been rumours of player power at the club, but I want to make it clear that is not the case”, Terry wrote in the programme. “It was a good performance and we needed that”, Courtois told the club’s website (www.chelseafc.com). If they go on a winning run now, there will be a lot of blame on the players for not performing under Mourinho but if they continue to lose or perform badly then the axe again falls on them.

“I’d be happy to have him here”, Hiddink said.

Drogba, who now plays for MLS side Montreal Impact, is currently enjoying his off-season break and sat in between Hiddink and Abramovich for the match against Sunderland.

“I don’t know Guus [Hiddink] well but I have spoken to Ray Wilkins who has worked with him before to try and get an idea of the sort of guy he is”.
