Jose tried to sign Lukaku? This is getting even better. Now Lukaku will be our next Drogs, i have confidence now. Do we really need Falcao and Lukaku? Sure defenders would wet themselves but there's no plan B there, just a plan A. And Ba is also rather similar with only Torres that really has pace. We need a young lightning quick striker, maybe even poach Callejon (sp?) from Real to add to our Spanish contingent.

Really messed up. The Championship next season will start on the 3rd August. Then the Community Shield, what's seen as the premiership curtain raiser will be on the 11th with Man Utd against fucking Wigan who are not even in the prem who have already played a Championship league game. I usually love the CS, the first game where 2 of the top teams try and get a psychological advantage over one another by winning at Wembley showing off new signings and stuff, sending them a message for the upcoming season. What a mess this is, i won't even watch it, what an uninspiring game. The prem season starts on the 17th August, the fixtures are announced on June 19th just in case anyone is already thinking about next season lol. Mourinho vs Pellegrini will be interesting.

Wouldn't want Ronaldo anyway because of his love for Man Utd. And now Utd don't have Fergie anymore, i can see Ronaldo's career taking an epic nose dive from now on. He was moaning a few months ago about not being happy. He'll be less happy now.

Sjy Sports 2 now if anyone missed it yesterday. Frank Lampard - Chelsea's Greatest Goalscorer.

This is getting closer and closer and closer. Jose coming home gives me goosebumps.

We should keep him just because he's Mata's best friend and Mata will be sad if he goes lol. Seriously though, there's a lot of Spanish comradery in the camp, dunno if anyone saw the Juan Mata special report so it's probably best he just stays for the sake of the harmony in the squad. Also i hope he stays because it would be so interesting to see Jose as his boss. That will be interesting.

Really stupid time to play friendlies and against Man City of all teams...why the fuck? Is there any actual confirmation of the UK time for this? Is it Friday morning or Saturday morning and is it 00:30 or 01:30? According to this..... http://www.live-footballontv.com/ So looks like Thursday night / Friday morning is the first game and then the 2nd is just after the UCL Final which is fantastic on Saturday night.

That picture and their celebrations after yesterdays game including how their fans kept saying they will win easily just makes me hate them even more. Such a smug, cocky arrogant club. 1998-2004 was more horrible by some distance but at least they had reasons to be that way then. Nowadays they're just deluded.

Thank you Rafa. This thread should be renamed. Like him or not, he's lead us to a Europa League trophy and 3rd in the prem. It's been a very good end to the campaign and he's worked very well with us. I reckon if Man City hired Benitez, they'd be a formidable force next season. I now appreciate how good a manager, especially man manager he is. Can't believe i'm saying this.

I thought it had navy on the collar and sleeves but it doesn't. Anyway this is by far and away my favourite Chelsea shirt. The 12/13 looks too bland in comparison, glad the white is back. I don't think adidas will be able to improve on this. Wearing it now with the prem badges, just looks so perfect for a Chelsea shirt.

Right here we go. If we draw and Arsenal win, £500 is mines lol. Done another bet with us losing too so i'm sure we'll clinch 3rd now.

What an awful game, that wasn't football. The play acting was disgusting. Come home to a proper league Jose. Nothing compares to the Barclays Premier League.

Why are Real at home?

Fuck this waiting shit.

Pep vs Jose? Wheeyyyy that will be epic. Honestly after what we did to them last year they'll be out to kill us. Not just beat us but kill us. I am excited though at the anticipation of another Super Cup. Surely the last for Ash, JT and Lamps. Just rather it not be Bayern of all teams tbh.

Absolutely brilliant. Our tiredness certainly showed but like we always do, we showed guts and courage and got the job done. So many people moaning about the performance and that we didn't deserve to win but the facts are that we've played 14 games more than Benfica. Every game has had so much pressure and we've been all over the world this season from Stamford Bridge to Amsterdam via Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Czech Republic, Monaco, fucking everywhere. 68 games played with 1 left and it will be 1, Arsenal can fuck themselves if they think they're getting a playoff. Also we have a very young inexperienced squad which has been down to its bare bones as it's not the biggest squad in the world either. So proud of this team. They just never give up and show so much desire to achieve their goals. I was pissed off at H/T but i knew that as it was still 0-0, we're still in it and remembering Munich last year was very similar. It's been a long season and rather traumatic at times but we're in a great position, we must beat Everton now and end the season in style, clinching 3rd. 3 Final defeats, 2 semi defeats, finally we won one and it was a trophy to complete the European set. 3rd now would represent a great season from what it could've been and also i want to say thank you to Rafa. He's changed my mind of him.

Think they actually gave Mata the goal. Anyway i just put £90 on Arsenal to Beat Newcastle and us to draw with Everton at 5.13/1 just because i'm so scared of this play-off, i will not allow it to happen! Had to do it along with a £10 accumulator. Well, i have a few quid to burn after last weekend.

Was gonna say the same thing. I was just waiting for the ball to hit the net, it looked a certain goal. He didn't have the best game but that was a trophy winning challenge.

Don't you just hate playing teams that owe us? I mean i'm STILL waiting for Monaco ffs. They'll be after revenge today.

Fuck this cuntish shit we've done the double over them scum this season. They can fucking well do one. Ain't the FA heard of head to head? It's all over Europe ffs, they even use it before goal difference in some countries (SPAIN!). Come on, fuck this shit we've done the double over them this season. COME ON NEWCASTLE!

Well we know what Rami did there against Liverpool and Barca. He's the RW for the big stage!

Rami is on the right which might work well with his pace. This is going to be a very hard game, very hard. Can see it going all the way and being a long night. Not as nervous as i was this time last year but pretty nervous nonetheless. Can't see where the goals will come from. Mata aint scored for ages, Torres is still shit. Relying on Lamps today.

Gutted if Arsenal beat Newcastle. They already think they've made it the way they were singing when they went 2-1 up, like Newcastle will be just an easy pushover win. I really hope Newcastle get some kind of result in the last game, it would be my greatest ever day since Munich if Arsenal came 5th. The most arrogant, lucky team to not win anything. Tottenham don't bother me, never have. I've only seen them beat us a few times in my whole life and they've never been a threat to us challenging the league title. Plus my Mums a Tottenham fan so hopefully next weekend we can celebrate together. I fucking hate... no, despise Arsenal FC. There's nothing i like about them, nothing at all. Even their football is overrated. Wigan played better football than them yesterday, just ran out of steam pushing for the late goals. We played em off the park home and away as did Tottenham until Adebayor was sent off. One day their luck will run out and they'll come where they deserve, in 8th place just behind Liverpool. One day... MON THE GEORDIES!! They can't rely on top 4 forever.

No way he can be fit. If it's not really bad then we might as well just go for it, it's basically the last game anyway and we do have subs. Everton doesn't really matter. Matters a bit for 3rd but it's not overly important. Wrap that fucker up and give him pain killing injections like they're going out of fashion (as long as he doesn't overdose and die).

Ronaldo and Mourinho get on but both unhappy there. Ronaldo wouldn't he back to Man Utd now and Rooney wants a change too. It just seems like there's something going on mega huge. Rooney Ronaldo Mata Hazard Sure it's unrealistic but just imagine. I'm sure Rooney would like to play for Jose. Jose likes Rooney as he has said before. Also Rooney and Ronaldo worked amazingly together in Manc land. you never know with football these days.
