Still, the fact is that Andy Carroll wins most headers for a striker in the PL. Go look it up if you want. Also, for your own benefit, stop generalising black people and white people. Not all black people have a good leap, and not all white people aren't able to jump.

Agree, on the international stage that is anyway. I think he's too eager to impress and the pressure's mounting up on him to be fair. I hope he makes it because he clearly has all the talent in the world, it'd be such a shame if he ended up like Denilson for example.

I really want us to promote Blackman as our 3rd GK. I think he'll do fine + he's home grown. As Hilario and Turnbull are leaving this summer, getting a decent 2nd choice goalkeeper has to be a priority for next season. I'd love someone like Begovic as he's homegrown too. For next season, a Cech/Begovic/Blackman line up would be excellent.

@Leif, .

Cavani is more well-rounded than Falcao. Better striker overall for me as he gives more to your team. But when it comes to lethal finishing, Falcao is in a league of his own.

This is a ridiculous thing to say. Carroll's white but his leap is infinitely better than Lukaku's.

I believe in this kid. Can see him going on the plane to WC2014 if he develops well enough.

Mr. Joey Barton on Neymar:

So people are twats because they're excited about Mourinho possibly returning? Brilliant thing to say mate, brilliant.

Serious? He's the only manager ever in Italy to win the treble. Of course Inter is going to be close to his heart.

The player I'd be most excited about under Mourinho is Hazard. He could seriously turn this guy into a Ronaldo/Messi, his potential ceiling is that high.

Was brilliant again today with T. Silva, they compliment each other so well. Luiz has been consistent for quite a long run of games now, hopefully he keeps it up and realises his potential ASAP. If we can get a CB of T. Silva's ilk to partner Luiz we'll be set for years.

I'm pretty sure Taarabt is Moroccan too, he just doesn't play because of atitude issues. EDIT: Niclas got there before me.

Hulk definitely changed the game.

I would love a Thiago Silva - Luiz CB partnership. They compliment each other very well.

Oh :/

Brazil's back four have been solid. Apart from that the likes of Neymar, Fred and Kaka haven't really done much in attack.

This game is begging for Hulk to be thrown on instead of Kaka.

I'd like Hernanes in our team. Good player.

Can someone provide me with a decent stream please?

What's wrong with his reaction please, tell me?

Can people stop saying this please? We're one of the most elite clubs in the world. If Roman left, billionaires would be lining up to buy us IMO.

From the horse's mouth himself. The Real Madrid manager gave an interview at the League Managers’ Association Hall of Fame Dinner. He said: "The time I spent in England was the best time of my career so far and that's despite winning the Champions League in Portugal and Italy. In the Premier League we did great things and created history for Chelsea with a great contribution to some great moments in this incredible football country.” The Portuguese tactician believes the Premier League is a fantastic competition and he considers himself very fortunate to have worked in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain as a coach and manager. He added: “The atmosphere, the intensity and the emotion in England is something you cannot compare with other countries and for somebody that is really in love with the game, as I am, this is the place where you enjoy it the most.” Mourinho still has a home in London and loves this country immensely. He talked about how he would love to come back with his family and live there for a longer period.
