HAZZZARD!!!! Whether you want us to win it or not, he's prevented extra time!

Rupert...

There are two options for me: Mourinho, who most would welcome with open arms, or a riskier manager in Laudrup. Laudrup who was easily on of the best playmakers to ever grace the game clearly has the footballing brains to take up the mantle as a manager. Guardiola himself admitted he broke into tears when he left Barca crying he taught him everything he knows about the game. With the players we have and Laudrup at the helm you'd see a style which the players would enjoy and the big man Roman really wants. I really feel he could help take the likes of Oscar, Hazard, Mata etc to the next level. Who better then Laudrup to scrutinise your passing or nurture our players vision? Hiring a man who is so revered worldwide could certainly hold it's benefits, instead of hiring Mourinho who would certainly exacerbate the stigmatisation Chelsea already face. Equally the way Roman wields his axe could backfire if he ever felt the need to sack him. Either way if Mourinho doesn't become available or even if he does, I'd be more than happy if we built a legacy with Laurdrup. His contract ends next year so we wouldn't be breaking the bank like we did with AVB too.

Frank Lampard signs children's book deal http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21433772 LOL I'll read em', Super Frank can do everything!

Predictions, Lawro is the top prediction, Hulk Hogan is the 2nd (Bolded). Tottenham v Newcastle 1-1 3-0 Chelsea v Wigan 2-0 40-1 Norwich v Fulham 2-1 0-0 Stoke v Reading 2-0 2-0 Sunderland v Arsenal 1-1 0-1 Swansea v QPR 1-2 1-2 Southampton v Man City 1-2 1-1 Hahah Hulk Hogan smashed Lawro, predicted more correct results (maybe not scores ). Was nearly fully correct with us just added a zero by accident .

They also gave Demba Ba 2 star, and flop...

You'd like to think so but this guy's been posting stuff like this for months

Lol Torres avatar and signature, change it quick!

I really hope Pato overcomes his injury problems. He can be the striker you need. ^ This was really sad.

Having worked with Cole during his time in charge of the Blues, Mourinho has insisted that there is no reason why the 32-year-old cannot continue playing at the highest level for another "four to five years". "The brain controls, but the body needs to answer to the brain," said Mourinho. "His brain gives him, for sure, four to five years at a high level. I hope his body says yes. "Ash is one of the best left-backs in the world. He is the kind of player who it is difficult to choose his best performance, because he is always so stable. "I left England in 2007. At that time he was the best. Six years later he is still the best. He has won everything at club level and is getting his 100th cap. I believe the football world in England knows who he is."

Belgium are looking impressive! Lukaku bro's always stick out!, they're massive lol. Thorgan's playing well so far.

Happy birthday Neymar! Happy birthday Ronaldo! Happy birthday Tevez!

Whereabouts did you read it was a preliminary round? Can't seem to see that anywhere. Maybe I'm just being blind :S

The two most notable potential fixes from my memory would be Chelsea Barca 09 and Lyon Zagreb last season.

Goal for Cote d'Ivorie Tiote! Drogba assist.

Spuds breathing a heavy sigh of relief. Luakau was looking the most likely to create the danger.

In under 10 minutes he's done more than you see from Torres in his average 90 minutes. He's just a monster, constantly involved.

Oh my what a miss by Benzema 1-0 down too. Here's a video: http://footballfunnys.lockerdome.com/articles/106154584

More importantly than anything right now, I hope Ba is safe and recovers quickly. That "challenge" was brutal.

Seriously hope Demba Ba gets better, classless twats those Newcastle fans in the stand. Booing off a former injured player, who without, they'd be in an even more shite' position than they are already this season.

Luiz is just a great person.

Agree completely, made this point in the Rafa thread: Our board is more to blame than Rafa IMO. They took a precarious situation and tipped it over the edge. I'm not defending the guy for sure; his subs and game plans are just unfathomable. Sacking the legendary Di Matteo was always going to be exacerbated by employing Rafa,a man who had such a fierce history with us and has left his last two clubs at the abyss of mediocrity. The only logical motive behind it was getting the best out of Torres, a feat which any sane footballing man would deem highly improbable and today, practically impossible. Again this illusory feat was driven by a desperate attempt to mitigate the rigor of a flop-destined Torres with no logical thought behind the best move for the club, both present and future. All the positives that were dug out is just farcical. The boos were inevitable, and although equally unhelpful, the board must have foreseen retaliation on the back of sacking of a legend and employing, like his Spanish compatriot Torres, a deteriorating professional subsisting on the tatters of his "reputation". We need a serious reshuffle and the "yes men" at the hierarchy of our club must be dug out and moved out.
