A DEFIANT JOSE Mourinho said there was nothing controversial about Chelsea’s 2-0 Premier League win over Arsenal today.

Diego Costa was heavily criticised for his part in Arsenal defender Gabriel’s red card today, but the Portuguese coach refused to condemn the striker for his behaviour.

He also said that “emotional control” was key to his side’s win, while suggesting Arsenal always air some particular grievance following a defeat by the Blues.

    Given, O’Shea, Keane & Doyle have been great servants for us but its time for all 4 of them to retire after euro 2016 and give the younger players like Duffy, O’Dowda & Byrne a chance.

    Such a let down and anti climax. I remember my own boys and their friends all decked out in green……so let’s manage expectations

    Don’t play injured goalkeepers. Stop using players for media work cos they have native accents and thus include them in the 23. Let the people follow the Irish team and not some country called 3
