Sheva.

Think that is what will happen. Risky yes, considering it's such a big game, but he's done well in big games before this. He's a far better defensive option than Torres, Sturridge and Malouda. And he's also not bad going forward.

Training has started on the link Jusek posted!

So nervous damn, come on Chelsea!!

Don't care if he has a point or not, but does he always have to run his mouth? remember him going on about City also. Pathetic.

Portuguese League and Portuguese cup would not have been enough to consider him imo. He needed something in Europe too, and his team were absolutely brilliant in the EL last season. And you're right, but it's a much lesser risk getting someone who has done well at a top level club

First off Europa League is not a nothing competition. AVB wouldn't have gotten this job if he didn't win it, and Bielsa wouldn't have been getting all the hype he has been getting if his team didn't do extremely well in the competition. Bolded part: Very different scenarios, because you do well at a lesser club, does not mean you will do well at a club with bigger expectations. Hodgson? even McLeish to an extent.

Yes, basically. Just can't pick up a manager from a mid-table or relegation side and expect them to get us challenging for the biggest honours. I don't agree. I'd like to see them at least even have a good run in the Europa League, before saying they are ready for Chelsea.

Yeah so if experienced, top class managers even struggled to handle it, then how the hell will Martinez and Rodgers do? Who do we hire, don't know, but if RDM doesn't get the job they are better candidates like Capello, Hiddink and Loew.

Doesn't mean they will do well at a big club, with massive funds, massive pressure and massive expectations.

No surprises there, it's almost customary for a member of the Bayern hierarchy to hit out at their opponents. Yawn.

No, almost 12 pm.

No tweet like that on CFCSKY's timeline.

Congrats Nathan

No difference lol.

Yeah, heard something about how it's not going to be called the Allianz Arena for the final?

Don't know why people keep mentioning Pato. He can't stay fit for more than 2 weeks.

They sure mention Chelsea a lot on RAWK.

Fair enough, just weird to have that be the first thing to show up lol.

Avram Grant will be announced as Liverpool manager by the end of next week.

He's gone according to BBC news.

Wow, epic!
