Didn't skim through all of the previous pages, but were there really people like that? I mean it's not a given fact that Mourinho is only Chelsea bound, we don't OWN him. Wherever he goes I'll wish him good luck, but signs are that he might end up back here. I haven't seen any news about Mancini getting axed, though some people are very sure that they will get a new manger also at the end of the season. Have I been living under a rock or is there truth to this?

You're taking away xPetrCechx's work, hopefully he will forgive you.

Adds up nicely, a long term manager and a Scottish one. Ferguson's retirement announcement is planned beforehand, nothing is done in the heat of the moment. Mourinho's only real options are Chelsea and ManCity, hopefully we will get him.

He might not, but I'm sure your friend YouNameIt is the man you're looking for.

Sorry about that, can't read emotions through a screen though.

I'm actually wondering the same thing. Will they find a long-term manager right away or will they turn into something like us? Stability and fixed hierarchy in the club is what made them successful. No player, no matter how good, could off-set Ferguson's status.

8 minutes is 8 minutes, no matter where you live.

Girls like to talk, they don't like to listen as much. Feed off her talk, ask questions based on that, if she asks your opinion - do so but nothing too extreme unless it is funny. The less you talk about yourself, the more room there is for her fantasy and if she likes you, she will think good things about you. All about the balance I guess and being a bit mysterious. Every girl is different though. Dinner seems fine, Stingray gave a good summary. Good luck!

Hopefully Cardozo will have a quiet game. He is one of those old-school strikers like Klose and Inzaghi who only need a chance to score, proper poachers.

Beating smaller teams shouldn't be something we should take self explanatory because it will lead to complacency and losses. Maybe it is in FIFA or any other game but in real life even the unknown players are capable of magic. Why not be happy that we are in the final regardless if we didn't beat the likes of Porto? I mean all the teams we faced along the way had to beat other teams in order to reach as far as they did. Talking about your Liverpool example, they havefailed miserably to reach as far as we have in Europa League so credit where credit's due. (Had to google but they lost to Braga at the round of 16 in 2011 and lost to Zenith in the round of 32)

A good way to overcome fears is to face them not to run from them. Take it as a challenge of your willpower.

Fair enough, but the main thing is we won them. Your original post structured in a way you could read out that the competition was meaningless, no word about the opposition being weak.

Don't think he ever said out Mourinho. Blatantly ripped form context with no actual facts so I wouldn't read much into it.

Meaningless Europa League games that have gotten us to the final against Benfica. We are eager to win it so I can't really see much sense in your post.

What has happened to Braga and Sporting particularly? I thought Benfica, Porto, Braga & Sporting Lisbon formed this quartet to rule the league. Cheers for the sportsmanship attitude. Let the best team win!

The worst thing is football are whiners. They find fault in everything you do and moan and moan and moan. I pride myself for playing a physical style of football but those tikataka players go down with slightest of touches and try to retaliate later on with pure brutality.

You're being disrespectful towards Arsenal. They would have Gervinho -Giroud - youngster as Wenger would be selling Podolski to make room for the next promising French superstar.

Fair enough. By the way, great signature I mean there is no way everyone will like him, even if he had won every game with Chelsea. President of United States is a popular figure but half the nation think he does a lousy job. So it goes to show you can't please everyone, be it justified or not.

We won at Old Trafford, we were in control against the current English champions and you still are having a dig? Give it a break.

Exactly, maybe David Luiz enjoys pain.

hahahahah luiz you legend

Evra limping and Oscar changes the flank?
