JM on Winning
"Life is difficult when you lose. When you are used to winning so many times, life is not easy when you lose because you are not happy.
"I still think we'll win the title on the last day of the season.
"Pressure? Pressure is millions of parents around the world with no money to feed their children."

Man Utd 1, Chelsea 0
November 6, 2005 || posted by whitney
A loss to a team that wouldn't be beat. Despite controlling posession for long stretches of the match, Chelsea were unable to defeat a determined Manchester United side.
Unlike the loss to Betis, we played well.
We sit 6 points up on Wigan, who've got a game in hand.

Betis 1, Chelsea 0
November 2, 2005 || posted by whitney
A shock loss to the 17th best team in La Liga. We were beaten, and not particularly unlucky.
With the loss, Group qualification is far from assured. We sit one point up on Betis with matches against Anderlecht (home) and Liverpool (away).
Cech had a blip in form, but Lampard had enough class to lift the Blues.
