lol... Chelsea loses to Bournemouth at home & Twitter refuses to chill

It was meant to be the end. End to talk about Mourinho being sacked, end to in-house problems between Mourinho and his players. After all they had won their last two matches against Norwich and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Whilst they may not win the Premier League, a top four finish did not look out the question prior to this match. But, Bournemouth played very well at Stamford Bridge. Artur Boruc made some key saves and once again Chelsea looked toothless up front and social media went nuts. Mind you,  Bournemouth is just coming from the championship. See the funny tweets after the jump... lol!..
