With the new braintrust of returning friends of the club Guus Hiddink and Didier Drogba in the stands next to owner Roman Abramovich, Chelsea fans expressed their undying loyalty to ousted manager Jose Mourinho, as well as their frustration with the players who “betrayed” him in the first match after his sacking.

Bournemouth’s Stanislas scores directly from a corner kick against Man Utd

Flush with confidence after their late winner against Chelsea last week, Bournemouth took an early lead against Man United in daring fashion. Junior Stanislas shamed David De Gea by scoring an olimpico in just the second minute of the game, adding one more laugh at Man United’s expense this week after their elimination from the Champions League.

Marouane Fellaini went on to equalize for Man United in the 24th minute, but he didn’t do it with a corner kick, so it really should have counted for less.

Bournemouth went on to win 2-1 (though it very easily could’ve been even more) with the deciding goal being scored by Josh King, a discarded product of Man United’s youth academy. Clearly the universe is still getting even for the unholy reign of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Cesc Fabregas has forgotten how to football

Cesc Fabregas’ first few months with Chelsea last season were quite good. Ever since then, he has gotten progressively worse to the point where it’s amazing he hasn’t tried to eat the ball and required the Heimlich maneuver from Kurt Zouma.

Jose Mourinho has “nothing to say” after loss to Liverpool

It started off well enough for Chelsea with Ramires putting them up 1-0 against Liverpool in just the fourth minute, but the quagmire this season has become for the club eventually swallowed them up. Liverpool came back to win 3-1 with their last two goals taking deflections off Chelsea defenders.

This gives Chelsea an astonishing six losses in their first 11 matches — the worst start to a Premier League title defense ever.

Claudio Ranieri fulfills clean sheet pizza promise to his players

Leicester finally recorded their first clean sheet of the season and all it took was the supreme motivational power of pizza. Last month, Claudio Ranieri promised to buy pizza for all of his players if they achieved the feat and in their 10th match of the season, they finally did it, beating Crystal Palace 1-0 to put them three points behind first-place Man City.

Being a man of his word, Ranieri announced that he will fulfill his promise and even throw in some champagne for good measure. And for scorer Jamie Vardy, who now has goals in seven consecutive Premier League matches (giving him a league leading 10 for the season), there will be an added bonus.
