  1. It was no secret FSG tried to get him as soon as they took over Liverpool, but he decided to stay with Dortmund. The writing was always on the wall after his 'sabbatical'
  2. Do we keep the 'next manager' convo in this thread?
  3. José will always be a Chelsea legend. I hope he doesn't resent the club for this, I would hate for there to be hostile relations again. I hope he won't take charge of another English club because then we'll see who was right in the end, won't we? #OneOfUs
  4. Yea.. Matic seems like he's coming back to his 2014 form though so perhaps he's not a one off here.
  5. You never know. He's always wanted to play at the Bridge and now he's hot property, he may be tempted. Question is, whether he'd do it if Mourinho was or wasn't here.
  6. But he does score and that the point. At least he's in positions where he can score and his finishing can only get better as he gets older, he's already proving that. He's learning how to lead an attack now and Everton are beginning to rely on him more and more. His progress is impressive.
  7. Marcelo Bielsa linked with Swansea vacancy, Sky sources understand Where's Justin when you need him?
  8. Tbh I think people feel annoyed because of how he just seemed to walk off. It looked from the naked eye that he sort of just gave up and had enough. If it is an injury, even a short one, then understandable. He deserves to play 100% not less.
  9. You say that, but look at Martial at United. They're having a right go at Van Gaal for relying on a 19-year old for goals. If Lukaku hadn't started scoring quickly and frequently, we would've seen a similar effect. As Tomo said, most of the mentioned players have only stepped up this season.
  10. United fans having the same issue after Rio and Scholes said their sold XI is better than their current. It's true but context is needed. They brought up Nani.. This guy hadn't put in a consistent performance in years, Van Persie was clearly on the decline and was time to cash in etc. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Why don't we go further and say 'how dare we sell Robben ' Edit: That's not to exonerate Mourinho from his personal failures with this squad, tactically or personnel wise. But he can only be blamed for so much..
  11. Gent - Wolfsburg Roma - Real PSG - Chelsea (Have to believe!) Arsenal - Barca Juve - Bayern PSV - Atletico Benfica - Zenit (could be AVB's time to shine) Kiev - City (city have a major history of bottling it)
  12. http://www.skysports.com/football/leicester-vs-chelsea/preview/341340#ooid=VtMTBneTofC7mbLc7O2UHMyUscWqJzly What a guy.
  13. Watching Mourinho's pc, you have to give to him he is trying to create less drama off the pitch. Behaving himself on the touchline and not going overboard in post-match interviews.
  14. We average 1pt per match as well.. Shocking.
  15. Lmao, you're right.. Group F totally pointless
  16. I can imagine Mark Hughes licking his lips at that. It will be described as a coup
  17. That's even better than the Sturridge one
  18. Just when we were getting excited - A learning curve for the kid.
  19. Lmao, this place would certainly be interesting if we didn't qualify for the Champions League
  20. Your commitment to football is greatly commendable. I hope you go to the highest levels in coaching!
  21. It's a bold assumption to make. I would hope well before then we would have found another stable CB to carry this defence with Zouma. Relying on the fitness and sharpness of a 37 year old will be ludicrous Edit: I really hope that was sarcasm
  22. You think it's something we're going to see a lot more of though? The standard being set requires goalkeepers to be a lot more technically able.. Talking about coaching an entirely different way aren't we?
  23. Bit like Blatter though . Corrupt as shite, but did a lot for African football with development, infrastructure and investment (albeit not that clean )
  24. I'm just gonna go ahead and note that down
