Make heroics again Arsenal, do your best, sacrifice yourselves, win 2-0, lose the tie and lose the energy needed in the Premier League, would be helpful!

Qatar's plans for Dream Football League could see English clubs offered £175m to compete http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/9926412/Qatars-plans-for-Dream-Football-League-could-see-English-clubs-offered-175m-to-compete.html Four English clubs will reportedly be offered £175 million each to play in a 24-team 'Dream Football League' in Qatar and other Gulf countries in 2015. Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea are among the game's aristocrats targeted by the Qatari organisers, whose astonishing plan could redraw the world football map if it gains support. The sums dwarf those available in the Champions League, which has an annual prize fund of £595 million. Chelsea won £47.3 million for winning last season's competition. The Qatari plans would see them earn four times that amount just for accepting an invitation to compete. The plans, which will be formally released next month, will see the four Premier League teams invited to join the 16 "permanent" DFL members. Eight other global clubs would then compete on an invitational basis. According to The Times, the DFL would take place over two years, and would be held in the summer in Qatar and neighbouring Gulf states like Bahrain and the UAE. Neither the Premier League, Uefa, or the powerful European Clubs Association have yet responded to the proposals. Although it remains unlikely that football's existing power structure would tear up its calendar, the money on offer is stratospheric. And it must be remembered that Qatar were considered rank outsiders before they won the rights to host the 2022 Fifa World Cup.

Franck Ribery will miss the second leg of Bayern Munich's Champions League tie with Arsenal on Wednesday. Arsenal have new hope... nah, still no chance.

Actually, it was posted in the Rafa Out thread. Here you go - http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/14947-the-benitez-thread-rafa-out/?p=615913 And just scroll down for another WHS comments. He can be trusted really

All of Juan Mata's 10 goals this season have been scored with his left foot - the only player to score 10+ goals with the same foot

Romelu Lukaku scored his 13th goal of the season on Saturday as West Brom recorded an impressive 2-1 win against Capital One Cup winners Swansea at The Hawthorns. In doing so, the 19-year-old Belgian became the highest scoring teenager in the Premier League since Michael Owen for Liverpool in 1999.

And he still has two opportunities

Remember how it all started? And after that, he owns the competition for Goal of the Season... I'm also wondering whether this kick will be competing as well

He has already signed a deal with his next club. This would go hand in hand with what WHS suggested a couple of days ago, that José is our next manager.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand may face FA action after being involved in an altercation with Chelsea striker Fernando Torres during Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/8556343/Manchester-United-s-Rio-Ferdinand-may-face-FA-action-after-Fernando-Torres-clash "May" is quite important here. FA is just acting like they are doing something but it is a safe bet he will not be punished. Bunch of twats!

Cech's words afterwards - "I was going to go after that cross but it was really windy and the ball lost its speed unexpectedly. It was clear I wouldn't be able to reach it and I also assumed it wouldn't get to Hernandez either. But unfortunately that it did and he used the fact that I was in a bad position. In any case, I don't mean to make excuses. It was a cheap goal and regardless of the wind, I should have tried to get back faster. It was definitely my fault."

A former Chelsea youngster Carl Magnay gave an interview and revealed something about AVB and his man-management while being at Chelsea. Did the manager at the time take you to one side and offer any advice? "The manager at the time I left was AVB. He separated the young players and placed us in another building. He had nothing to say. I took a lot of advice from Steve Holland who was a great help to me when leaving the club. He almost set up a move to Swindon for me but it fell through at the 11th hour." Whilst at Chelsea, AVB asked the youth team to leave the premises. What was that like at the time & what impact did that have? "AVB's decision to kick us out of the building didn't go down too well to be honest. It upset coaches and players alike. Whilst there, the youth players felt pointless. Regardless of how we performed we were never given an opportunity. He didn't have too much of an interest. He tried to change too much about the club and that includes trying to oust Lamps. He treated Anelka and Alex poorly, banning them from the dressing room and have them train separately on their own. We had recently won the youth cup and the reserve league. We had the best youth set up in the country. I think the final straw was when the first team were short for players, he used to use members of his staff to fill in instead of calling up young players and giving them first team experience in training. One day we were walking in from training and the conditioner was training with the first team as oppose to giving a young player vital experience. That said it all really." Full interview here - http://shedlowerblue.blogspot.cz/2013/03/magnay-my-time-at-chelsea.html#!/2013/03/magnay-my-time-at-chelsea.html Seriously, AVB fucked this up. What on earth was he thinking?? Pathetic, and the last words of Magnay about the conditioner in particular.

The beginning of the match did not go according to plan for Chelsea and Petr was one of the culprits for the first goal. "I was going to go after that cross but it was really windy and the ball lost its speed unexpectedly. It was clear I wouldn't be able to reach it and I also assumed it wouldn't get to Hernandez either. But unfortunately that it did and he used the fact that I was in a bad position. In any case, I don't mean to make excuses. It was a cheap goal and regardless of the wind, I should have tried to get back faster. It was definitely my fault."
