Aussie referee captures Manchester United's Palace pummeling on candid camera in EPL first

To date there has been just the one team to make a profit on transfers in the past 10 years of EPL winners: Chelsea.
This point itself speaks volumes for the tactical mastermind who manages the team. Right, no points for guessing, it is Jose Mourinho (who else?).
Now, it’s not only about the money, it’s also about the sheer dominance of Chelsea from the start until the finish in the league, a feat not seen in recent years by any of the top teams barring Manchester United in 2012-13, when they comfortably pocketed the league with City nine points behind them.
The way Mourinho manages to juggle almost all his starting players throughout the year without any major injuries, and makes clever buys in the transfer windows is what makes him the Special One.
For example, look at Costa. He is injured, but Mourinho has no major headache: he plays Remy, who is nearing his peak, or Drogba, who knows how to play in the big games. And the way he has managed to play Hazard every single game of the season (and extract the best out of him) and keep him injury-free, is stuff every manager dreams of.
Yes, and there is his rock-solid defence too, and his combined back four don’t even cost the price of a certain Luke Shaw, for whom Manchester United broke the bank for last year.
Mourinho’s playing style maybe labelled boring, but football is, in the end, all about the results, and no one knows that better than this guy.
We can be pretty sure he has done Abramovich a world of good, delivering just when Chelsea desperately needed to cement their place after a rather disappointing 2011-2013. It is a job well done, indeed.
