Don't see why some people here are afraid of Barcelona or even RM. Barcelona is a very good team but not what they used to be, Iniesta isn't even a sure starter now and is pretty shit this season. Xavi has some troubles with growing up, their defense is absolute terrible, they leak 5/6 big goalscoring opportunity every game. I don't see them not condeding 2/3 goals against the like of Hazard, Willian, Schurrle running at them on counter (and we have Jose ). RM is a bit like us, very good at attacking (they have some trouble with the team parking the bus though), shit in defense, they too concede a lot of goalscoring opportunity (against Rayo Vellacano, Levante, Sevilla, Atletico,...) I'm more afraid against the like of Dortmund or Atletico because we will be the team who has the possession.

I have a feeling we will sign Falcao.

18 - Jose Mourinho has never lost a @PremierLeague match in the month of December (P18 W14 D4). Festive.

Cech Iva - Luiz - Cahill - Azpi Mikel - Ramires Schurrle - Mata - Hazard Torres Demba against Stoke.

The source is abola, http://www.abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=443338 They even say that Mourinho has a preference for Falcao.

Cech Azpi - Luiz (if fit) - Cahill - Cole Mikel - Ramires Willian - Mata - Schurrle Torres (if fit)

Cech Iva - Luiz - Terry - Azpi Mikel Ramires - Kdb Mata - Torres - Hazard

Cech Azpi - Luiz - Terry - Bertrand Mikel - Ramires Willian - Mata - Hazard Eto'o I would like to see this team.

Willian starts, Lampard and Cole dropped. Cech; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Ivanovic; Mikel, Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Schurrle; Eto'o

He would have allowed Ramires to go forward and it's a big +.

Cech Azpi - Luiz - Terry - Bertrand Mikel - Ramires Willian - Oscar - Hazard Schurrle Lampard dropped and KDB in.

Not enough. 50-60m has to be the aim if we want to sell him.

He scored in 32 PL games, 29 won, 3 draw. #TopClass #BigPlayer #KingSalomon #Aguewho #Messiwho #BallonDor

Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Bertrand Mikel - Ramires Mata - Oscar - Willian Torres Cech, Iva, Terry, Ramires and Oscar are going to start, no doubt about that. Willian, Mata, Mikel and Bertrand deserve to start thanks to the performance they put yesterday.

The agent of Milan’s Mario Balotelli has refused to rule out the possibility of a transfer to Chelsea. Mino Raiola recently stated that he didn’t expect his client to remain at SanSiro for the rest of his career and he’s now opened the door to a Chelsea future. “Balotelli and [Chelsea boss] Jose Mourinho could be reunited because they know each other and they didn’t leave each other with hate,” Raiola told TikiTaka on Italia 1. The two men worked together with success while they were on the books of Milan’s city rivals Inter. “There was a not very nice incident between them, but they parted company on good terms,” Raiola added. “They have remained in contact and there is mutual respect. “I know Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani will not agree, but Mario is a great striker. That is for certain and he could perhaps be that at Chelsea.” Balotelli, 23, returned to Italy in January after a spell in England with Manchester City. He continues to make headlines on and off the pitch. “I have other Milan players who I represent, but I don’t get questioned about them,” Raiola continued. “I just get asked about Mario and that irritates me. “I never said to not judge the player or comment on his performances, but leave him in peace if he wears an earring, if he drives a certain car or wears a certain hat. “I don’t see any other player in Italy who is gossiped about like Balotelli. Napoli’s Marek Hamsik has a crest hairstyle but nobody talks about him in such a way.” http://football-italia.net/41112/balotelli-agent-opens-chelsea-door Tuttosport ne è sicuro. Massimiliano Allegri e il Milan si separeranno, Mario Balotelli andrà al Chelsea. Nessun condizionale. Il tecnico livornese, qualora fallisse le prossime tre importantissime partite (Lazio e Fiorentina in campionato, Barcellona in Champions League), sarà esonerato. L'attaccante può partire. L'offerta del Chelsea sarà presa in considerazione da Via Turati. L'apertura di ieri di Mino Raiola ai blues di Mourinho, secondo il quotidiano torinese, può esserne il primo indizio. http://www.milannews.it/rassegna-stampa/tuttosport-allegri-via-e-balotelli-al-chelsea-il-futuro-del-milan-a-scritto-126889?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter In the second news, they even say that this will happen.

Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole/Bertrand Mikel - Ramires Hazard - Oscar - Willian Torres 3-0, easy.

Zidane himself said that game was the best he ever had. His perfomance against Portugal at the Euro 2000 (semi final) was also fabulous.

http://sulia.com/channel/soccer/f/26943501-e33d-4629-ade7-927890ca5c0f/?source=twitter&repost=120 In an interview with Portuguese daily A Bola, Jose Bosingwa declares himself "surprised" at Redknapp's attack on him this week. The defender states that before he left Queens Park Rangers for Trabzonspor, Redknapp "with all his words said I was a spectacular player". Addressing QPR wages which Redknapp declared "ridiculous" in his new biography, Bosingwa says: “I did not force anyone to offer me the salary I was earning. They've hired me for the price they thought was correct for a player that came on a free transfer from Chelsea, that had been one of the players with most games that season, that had just been a started in the Champions League Final that Chelsea won. "If he thought the salaries were too high why did he sign two players with a bigger salary than mine?" Bosingwa's assessment of Redknapp's abilities as a manager is cutting. "How can he make a technical analysis of the players during morning training sessions, when he spends almost all his time in the dressing room doing business with agents and is rarely on the pitch?" says the former Portugal international. “He is frustrated. He thinks he's another Alex Ferguson, he speaks every day, even more than him. But there is a difference: in all his long career he has won just one title. "It looks like he doesn't know what he's saying. He's a bit confused. It must be age or, as everyone knows, the wine he drinks every morning at breakfast with his crackers." Bosingwa is a legend.

Zidane vs Brazil in 2006, best game he ever had.
