Jose Mourinho, Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea medical staff join campaign against Jose Mourinho

Despite being the victim of a vast conspiracy involving everyone from referees to ball boys, Jose Mourinho still led Chelsea to their third Premier League title together and first since his return to the club. Naturally, attempts to destroy someone do not end simply because they fail. Instead, they in scope and complexity. And after the first match of the season, this is already evident.

Jose Mourinho narrowly avoids Arsene Wenger, throws runners-up medal into the crowd after Community Shield

It took 14 tries, but Arsene Wenger finally beat Jose Mourinho, albeit in the Community Shield by a score of 1-0. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave Arsenal the lead in the 24th minute and Wenger then beat Mourinho with his own game plan by parking the bus for the remainder of the match while Petr Cech made several fine saves to retain a clean sheet against his former club.

After Chelsea collected their runners-up medals, Mourinho, who came to Wembley dressed for a training session at a high school while Wenger opted for a more formal look, waited at the bottom of the steps for the Arsenal players. Read more

Several ways Chelsea can be more unpredictable this season

Speaking ahead of the Community Shield and the start of the new season, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho took a break from roasting his rivals to discuss what he felt his side need to do in order to successfully defend the Premier League title.

YouTubers sneak into Chelsea’s hotel, sign John Terry and Nemanja Matic to their “team”

Chelsea are in Montreal for their North American tour, so a group of local guys decided to seize the opportunity to try and lure a couple of players away from the Premier League champions for their own team.

First, they snuck into the club’s hotel to try and convince Jose Mourinho to be their coach. Mourinho wasn’t in the mood to hear their offer, though, and they were promptly kicked out.

They were also successful with Nemanja Matic just before getting shoved out the door.

This, presumably, is how Ed Woodward signed Bastian Schweinsteiger for Manchester United.
