I still think he would get preffered to come on over Lukaku in circumstances. Say for example we sign Costa, im guessing most games he will start with Lukaku and Eto'o on the bench, say for argument sake Costa is having an off day and the opposition were well organised and we needed to be tactful to get the goal im certain Mou would choose Samuel. If on the other hand there was space begging to be exploited then Lukaku will be the one to come on.

Usually ill be relaxed about this one, but you just know the ref will have a 2 wrongs make a right mentality. Especially with the apology farce. Wouldnt shock me in the slightest if they get a pen wrongly awarded or we get one wrongly chalked off, possibly both.

He needs to play every domestic game until the end off the season for me, he's cup tied for CL he can rest then.

This won't be unpopular with this forum but will be for the football world in general. The "Anfield atmosphere" is the most over rated thing i have ever heard, unless they are playing United or a CL big game the place is like a libary, infact for routine league games i would go as far as saying its not much better than The Emirates.

God this new JT thing is annoying, for a start he is 28, in four years he will be the age JT is now. Also despite his improvements i still don't rate him higher than the current JT, let alone the prime version. He has improved a lot these last 2 months, but these JT comparisons make me cringe.

The only bit i challenged was the extreme love counteracting the extreme hate, the former was around from day 1. The rest off your post is fair.

Sorry i completely forgot about fundraising before hand, to pay for flights, injections etc etc

If you can find time i 100% recommend it, also expeditions are done in Tanzania too. If you want to know more feel free to message me here or facebook, i can even ask questions to the main leaders for the Costa Rica expedition if you want me to.

Then their trek, the most hardest thing i have ever done but rewarding, one day we went the wrong way up a mountain and ran out off water 3 hours away from our closest water source which was a crocodile invested river. Dont get put off by that tho, that is extremely rare but the whole trek does test your mentality and endurance to the limit, i averaged 4 hours sleep a night the whole time. Unfortuently theres no Dec-Feb slots there's one starting now which ends mid April, the others i think are June to August and September to November not too sure on the latter two as i went this time last year. One tip i will give, if you go Nicaragua don't trust the communitys with football scores one told me we won at The Ethiad under Rafa, although in fairness i should have smelt a rat when he said Cole got the only goal.

You fly out to your country, which for me was Costa Rica and Nicaragua, because they have a policy off no driving in the dark you spend your first night in a school gym but when you get to fieldbase you spend 4 days there doing induction training before being sent your first project for 19 days. After 19 days you spend 3 nights back at fieldbase for change over go back out again for 19 days come back for another change over then go to your last project again for 19 days then back to fieldbase for 3 nights before going home or travelling which for a lot do (i didn't). The 3 projects are Enviromental where you help the Enviroment for example i helped build a path in a National Park. Community when you help out poor people, i helped build a water system in Nicaragua to give families clean water. Ill carry on on another post i have limited typing space on my PS3.

Raleigh international, are you planning on doing something similar?

No offense but that's rubbish, even before one Chelsea fan gave up on him (i was one off the 1st, i wanted him gone as early as January 2012 and haven't budged since) there was still excuse after excuse for him, fair enough the first few months but ever since summer 11 the excuses became silly. Put it this way, if a 3m signing from Vittese got the same minutes and chances he has with the same type off displays, he would probably be disliked on the same level as Bogarde. As for the Torres and his kid thing, some member put up a gif off his son apparently trying to strike the ball but missing in the usual EOS lap off honour, talk about mountain out off a molehill, i slipped over taking a pen when i was a kid, didn't hear the end off it for months, was i getting abused to? Yes the gif would have been better off not posted, but any other player and no one would have blinked let alone brought the matter back up months later.

He has some games where he does decide to show up and turn into a work horse. But he has his lazy games, and when he does he makes Berbatov look like an all action energetic, high presser. The prime example is check out his games between West Brom away under RDM upto West Ham away under Rafa, he lack of workrate in those games put the Malouda of 10/11 in the shade.

Sam Allardyce is one off the most under-rated managers in football. Beat that.

We will have some serious incentive regardless off the score at Anfield. Liverpool win and we can leapfrog Arsenal. Arsenal win and we can go 9 points clear in the top 3. Draw and we could potentially create clear daylight between us and Liverpool and leapfrog Arsenal. That will take a 3 goal win for us. Either way, get our job done and we have benefitted from the Anfield match whatever the score.

The price tag is relevent, its the only reason people are still making up excuse after excuse for this guy.

Not surprised, he was living off his first 6 months, in truth Swansea have been rubbish since they won the COC.

The confidence and assurance Mourinho gives me is unrivalled. Under Rafa RDM or even Ancelotti 1-0 at The Ethiad at HT and my nails would be off, last night i wasn't fully relaxed because Jose or not all it takes is one moment but i certainly wasn't the mess i was in similar circumstances under other managers.

Out off all the improvements Mourinho would make, i didn't see this one coming.

I wish there was a rule we could challenge journalists on the crap they write, they would be tripping over themselves. Off topic i remember earlier in the season you mentioned how high you rated Southampton and their high pressing game, Jose in an interview with Nevin explained to a point how he countered that, it's on youtube(the interview).

The way we approached the game in OT and The Emirates is the same way Fergie has approached big away games in the past, try and win if you can but also be wary that a point away to a title rival (or in Uniteds case who we thought would be one) is far from a disaster. United and Arsenal as the home teams were just as cautious and didn't commit because they were shit scared off us contering, it's beyond bizarre how that is never adknowleged. Compare how we went at Liverpool and brought an extra striker on against City both at home to United and Arsenal when they hosted us.

Its the media for you, it's genuinely amazing that some can't differentiate the difference between parking the bus and playing a tactful percentage game.

Howard is a fair shout but the others are a shadow of what they were. Jaaskelinen has been rubbish for a while Coyle dropped him for Bogdan and Big Sam has done the same bringing in that little shit Adrian in his place. A prime Jussi in 2007 was argubly the best in the PL aside from Petr and VDS. Friedel lost a lot off mobility in recent years, Spurs fans main complaint about him is he doesn't command his box and has slow reactions, neither off those was a problem in his Blackburn days and Mark is still good but a shadow off his Boro days imo.

I don't want to speak to soon but i think we might have finally found him the right loan. Shame he had Mowbray as his manager at Boro instead off Karanka.

Keepers usually decline in mid 30s, there are some freaks like Van Der Sar but for one off him there's 20 Shay Givens.
