Also, across the pond, the NBC announcers did well today, including Tim Howard, for the American audience watching who have less reason to generate hate against our club and like to see quality football.
I'm delighted for Pellegrini, btw.
I watched it on NBC and when the Mourinho interview was over the English guy in the studio (don't know his name) was having none of it. Much prefer it to Sky.

The NBC Sports pundit that you mentioned is ex-footballer, Robbie Mustoe, who is one of the "2 Robbies," on the US version of Match Of The Day and PL Goal Zone. Robbie Mustoe completely tore apart Mourinho's post-match comments. Mustoe said that Mourinho was desperate to deflect attention away from Chelsea's overall poor performance. By the way, before the season started on Aug 8th, both Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle had predicted that Chelsea would retain the title.
As for the UK version of MOTD, if anyone is unable to watch the show, Alan Shearer also thought that Chelsea's playing was terrible. Shearer particularly singled out Fabregas for being useless.
