DM headline will read "Mourinho takes revenge of Emenalo and knocks glasses off his face"

I admit to have lost my temper a bit with him yesterday amid the tension of the match, but in hind sight he did well overall and the mistakes are only normal at his age and he will only benefit and learn from them. I'd like to see him given a run of games and keep his momentum by starting against City though I fully expect Jose to bring Cahill back for taht match.

I'd love to agree, but there's plenty of evidence to the contrary as well!

I read from someone at the game yesterday that the banner was prepared by the sponsor and was quickly thrown at the players after the final whistle.

Why me precisely? Sorry mate, I haven't seen or heard any football related news since the end of the match yesterday. Trying to catch up with all the news and interviews now.

Depends on the technology. We probably use LED lights which can be brought back to full brightness instantly.

It's almost like the vast majority of the main western media sources were owned by just a few people with common interests with Israel....oh wait..

Jose was not kidding:

Everyone knew that there would be a retaliation from Hezboullah. It's all any paper/media source/politician/pundit in all of the region could talk about for the past week. The Israelis knew and tried everything from threatening to destroy Lebanon to trying to get the Russians to convince Hezboullah not retaliate. The Israelis have zero legitimacy in talking about this retaliation attack. They attacked on Syrian territories and Hezboullah replied on Lebanese occupied land.

The attack was on a convoy of 8-9 Israeli vehicles in occupied Lebanese territory. It was in retaliation after Israeli helicopter destroyed a Hezboullah convoy in Syrian territory last week killing an Iranian general and son of former Hezboullah military leader "Imad Moghniyye". The attack is not in violation of any treaties or international laws because the territory belongs to Lebanon and is occupied by Israel. Could as well escalate to a full scale war but that depends mainly on the crazy Natanyahu. If he doesn't start a war he will most definitely lose the upcoming election. If he does start a war he'll kill a few thousand Lebanese people, lose the war and still lose the elections. It's all about the image of both Hezboullah and the IDF and psychological war and a new equation of uniting the Lebanese and Syrian front.

That will certainly make for some awkward party if we lose. Somehow, I don't imagine your birthday wishes to her would be very sincere

Wembley!

Clash of knees with JT. Didn't look serious.

We CAN'T. We just can't have all of Willian, Iva and Zouma on the same side. My nerves just can't handle it!

"Lost" would imply that he had the ability in the first place...

15 points ahead of City

I'm pretty nervous to be honest. This has turned into a massive game after the result at the weekend and the upcoming match against City. The wait is killing me.

From day one his chances of making it here were close to zero and while they have increased it'll still need a half-miracle for him to make it here. I think both he and the club understand that. Meanwhile, he gets a lot more publicity than if he had stayed in Forest as well as wages much higher than most teams would offer him and we can probably sell him for a good amount of money in a couple of years if he impresses. Both parties are aware and pretty happy about how the youth system is designed to work here. Only the fans like to moan about it. If we get just 5m from his sale that would allow us to sign a 25m player on a 5 year deal for the first team. If the academy was not profitable for the club, it would have been closed some time ago.

Amazing creativity there, Jayjay. I am certain that you were a poet in a previous life...

Linkception!

I am pretty certain now that our "interest" in Douglas was just to get fans to, not only accept, but be begging for the Cuadrado transfer to happen! The change of attitude towards that has changed drastically since this rumor came up.

Apparently not involved in first team training today. Not sure if that means he's gone or because of that "light injury" that kept him out of Bradford.

They killed us by playing with sort of two number 10s in the first leg. We have to deny them space between the lines. That means a much better performance and awarness from Matic (who was terrible at Anfield) and who ever is playing next to him. We also need to concentrate more on our passing and move the ball better on transition.

Looks like a lovely dinner... ...that is of course until Jose interrupts the cake ceremony, telling everyone that they should at least give him 25% of the noise at Anfield when they are singing "Happy Birthday" to him

Scenes when Wolfsburg thrash us in the CL next season with Andre and Kevin getting a hat-trick each!
