....... if Chris Brunt doesn't have a problem with James McClean and James McClean doesn't have a problem with Chris Brunt, then I don't see why there's any problem at all.  (Aside from him needing to screw his head on a bit tighter and develop the ability to send a cross where it's actually meant to go every now and then.  But that's presumably a work in progress.)

Exactly right; it's the press that are determined to make something of it and WILL do unless something bigger happens on the day to deviate attention. Let's hope that Mourinho admits that he isn't, after all, the best human being that ever lived, or that someone at Chelsea IS at fault for something. That should do it.
