Fell asleep shortly after 2nd half began, didn't see what happened but when I woke up we were tied 1-1. Oh well, it's a good result considering English clubs haven't had much success there.

Keep dreaming my Baltic brother, we're gonna make you our bitch.

0-7 was it?

Good draw for us (Estonia). Obviously England is going to cruise the group, but at least every other team is beatable on a good day.

What do you mean? There is nothing to snub, he has retired from international football.

So the boys won eh? Sad that I didn't see the game, but obviously delighted we bagged the points. Who else than JT and Lamps coming coming up with the goods? That's simply classic. Can't wait to see motd.

It's funny how clubs don't give a single shit about FFP. I thought it was created to avoid ridiculous situations like this, guess nobody cares really, money keeps flowing and it was naive to think that anybody would want to stop the money flow for some noble reason. The best we can do is hope that those overpaid celebrities give something back through charities and stuff like that, but I have a strong feeling that most of them don't really care about it and do it for PR reasons, which in turn is designed to make them even more money. Disgusting system it is but all we can do is cry about it from afar.

Looking at gross figures is one thing, looking at net is another. England has very high taxes, the highest in Europe (or even the world?) or so I've heard. So 300K p/w in England is not the same as 300K p/w in Spain. I wouldn't be at all surprised if CR got more money on his account every week despite having lower gross salary.

Can't believe you swallowed TX's bait so easily. Is it salty?

True quaity goalkeepers are tough to come by. He's younger than me ffs and already regarded as one of the best in business. I don't recall anybody quite like that. We need to do everything possible to keep him. Plus his presence here could make Hazard happier Cech is soon to be 32 and he's not getting any younger. When we signed Courtois a couple of years back there was general consensus that Cech doesn't have long left because of his past injuries. If we're truly building for the future, then I'm sorry, but Courtois is going to have replace him at some point.

Love it. This means they will not be able to afford wages to other world class players, since Rooney already makes twice as much as any other class player would make. Plus they'll be getting ripped off for 5.5 years now with Rooney in decline. God bless their stupidity. This also means we'll not be signing him, which is good.

Jesse Williams Ryan Bertrand

The black Ibrahimovic. Wouldn't mind too much us signing him with Mourinho here. Would be about 2 times cheaper than Cavani and I don't see him being too happy in a mid-table team. What are the news from Italy? Is he happy in Milan or do we have a realistic shot?

The press will never get tired of this. When Jose wasn't in England they were crying their eyes out, he's like Santa Claus to them, and every press conference and interview is like christmas.

Just checked all the U18 match reports, no sign of him there. Strange case that one.

Somebody should send that to the players, some extra motivation for the lads.

The funny(sad) thing is that those are the same people criticizing the club for not giving chances to youngsters.

Besides the fact that I just saw the most awesome music video of all time? Nothing.

What? No, seriously.....what?? Nice moves there Barbs. Happy birthday too (I believe it was your birthday?)

Good, thorough, thought-out reply. I praise your ability to prove a point and sustain a discussion in a respectful and decent manner.

I have read my post (in fact I wrote it, so I know very well what I did and did not mean) and I can't see where I questioned it. I questioned his team selection for the game against City, yes, but Frank's case I just brought as an example. But for the sake of the argument let's presume I did question it - so what? Are we supposed to agree and praise everything he does, because...? Even Jose himself has said he makes mistakes. I trust the man as much as any, but I don't understand where this thinking comes from that it's taboo to question some of the man's decisions or actions. This is very much a religious approach you're describing, because "God can do no wrong". Well, I'm not one to agree with everything out of blind faith, just not my nature. If it is yours, then fine, but to attack me for being different to you, that's just small.

What point? And where did you come to that conclusion? Point out the specific sentence(s).
