Haha yeah it's probably a software with a database of clubs and players and a button RANDOMIZE. They push it and it throws out a club and a player. Then, marvelous journos write a story that comes from inside sources And what sad is that this is not far from truth...

Rafa ain't bad! He is swollen because of all the knowledge he has!

You say "The team he built remained the same, but there was nothing coming up to supplement or replace that.". Well I say, fucking yeah when Roman sacked his sorry arse... He did build something, and that something remained even after he left the club, even though we were the richest club back then, or the club most willing to spend the money around...that wouldn't happen unless what Jose build wasn't winning and brilliant. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't return here unless he was given some reassurances or given more freedom then to be simply a coach with the board handling players around...

While Jose does give out an impression like that, I ask of you to look at our squad only until a few years ago. Drogba, Lampard, JT, Essien, Mikel, Cole, Carvalho, Joe Cole, Paulo...even Kalou who we kept for quite a while...all Jose's players or players that flourished under him and they still carried on as the spine of the team. What happened with other managers who came here? They only used them with slight tweaks and only until recently we tried to switch the core of the squad with Ramires, Mata, Eden and Torres. How is that Jose being bad for the future? And yeah, when your side is playing good football that brings trophies, you will have no problems attracting players of all qualities. And when they know they will work with Mourinho? When he came to Real Madrid he didn't make any big crazy signings, but those he made were just the ones RM needed and from a good side he transformed them into a side with one playing one of the sexiest football in Europe. Being a RM coach is probably the most stressful job for a manager there can be. There, trophies are supposed to rain down more often then the fucking rain in England and the royal bosses of RM expect you to eat crap and shit lighting week and week out. I won't even think about how crazy is to manage all the big stars they have, especially when things don't go their way. It's a big test and Jose is doing rather well. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if RM's current bad league run is caused by Jose's massive wish to win the CL. He probably lowered the workload and altered the tactics in order to do the best he can in Europe. Imagine if a manager of Jose's quality decided to finally settle down? Imagine if his decision fell on us? Happy days...

If we could get Huntelaar here for 6m it would be a good piece of business. I am not for big money striker coming in January...gives me such a bad deja vu...would be nice to recall Lukaku also and get another defensive midfielder for a decent price.

I never said things were ideal ... but sometimes it's better to apply slight repairs then to go on a buy a new fucking car that you have no idea how will work ...

What I can't understand is, how can our board and Roman expect us to play fluid attacking football without a deadly striker and with young players who are still adapting to the league, new life and the language? It was always going to take time... Look at Mata in his previous season...he did alright, but now he is simply on a different level. Ramires was nothing special in his 1st season but look at him now? It simply takes time. And now what? We will get awful results, pressure will build up and we will go into panic mode. Teams (read: Atletico Madrid) will pull our balls for money and milk us like cows on a milk farm ... Rafa can't asses the squad in a month ... Robbie has been through hell with those lads and he knew exactly who, how, when and why does something. He kept playing Torres? Well yeah, blondie's confidence was so low that if he was put on a bench he would've sulked so much we could have only used him to carry towels around...this way it was an opportunity to get him going in order to fetch a better price once we decide to sell him... It was so calm with Robbie...he had that look in him that was saying "Everything will be fine" ... now? Anything can happen. What we, as fans can do is to stop creating such a big fuss about everything and start supporting the team like fanatics. They need us now more then ever. I really miss him... Sometimes, football is not about results...there is something much more higher and delicate some people will never understand... Good bye Robbie and thank you for everything. We will never forget what you did for us! I wish you all the best in the future of your career

Don't get discouraged so easily...take it one game at a time Oh...and remember the last season

We were first for quite a while...United never made it out of their group last season...those things happen...we are in a very tough group... I'm not saying Robbie did a perfect job, but we could have given him more time without disturbing the squad harmony, destroying our Europeam reputation and putting shitload of pressure on the whole club...then once the season was complete we could've assessed everything and made a better decision...

Arsenal had a bad start...they improved and kept on going without making a big chaos out of it... Spurs had an awful start...they improved and kept AVB... City were struggling 'til recently, they improved and kept Mancini... We won the club's 2nd historic double, brought very young players and had a rather good start to the season...and we sacked Robbie... Idiocy at its best. That said, Benitez still has my support, but with this loss not as much as before it. I just really really hope we finish in the top4, get rid of Torres and Madrid to win the CL so we can get Jose back and end all this bullshit once and for all...

Well dunno 'bout ya, but I'm excited like ahead of sex when Chelsea is about to play All my obligations and problems disappear for those 90mins :blue scalf:

Hehehe good times Sadly, that is pretty much exactly how I look when I watch Torres ... and please don't use this to attack me as some Torres hater or anything, I'm saying it because it's exactly like most of those pictures

Definitely. We should sign 5 more creative players and 6 more wingers in order for him to get perfect service ...

Carneiro! Keep Rafa at the club

I really like his directness. I believe we will benefit from it now when we are in this goal drought... Directness is something we really lack when Mata,Oscar and Hazard are on the pitch at the same time. Can't wait to see more from him.

Had better games, but considering his age and this being his 1st season it's something we could expect. What keeps impressing me is his work rate. It's really amazing. Lad simply doesn't stop running and quite a few times his pressuring of a player forced him to an error or made him lose the ball. With attitude like that he can become one of the best players we ever had considering his talent and natural ability.

Aye. Had a great start under AVB, but then went under radar after it... Come on lad, you can do it!

Well we already have a false striker, false wingers, a false CB and a false midfielder. All that's left is a GK

Keep an eye on him now under Rafa, he may turn out well and feature more. I have a feeling Benitez will give him more freedom with his passing and give him the Alonso role...I hope he turns out well.

Shahtjor is Ukranian. Roman is Russian. Roman is rich. Shaktjor need to win for us to remain in CL.

Because Rafa likes his wingers to drop back and help the defense. Ryan will help a lot along with Ash on that LW and hopefully send a few quality crosses. There may be some tactical idea on it also... Fuck of with attacking football when we don't have a top class defensive midfielder and a striker who can score on regular basis...I would rather grind out points and push for the title without media having a wankfest over us in their papers...

He makes such a lovely mother with his great cooking skills, wonderful blue hair and sweet look

Glad we could help

I really like the feature that shows you a mini twitter background when you hover over the link (try hovering over mine in the siggy)

Well he did win a WC with Brazil...I'll be watching with excitement how it goes for you
