English interest in Alba http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7651970/

Dude if we beat Barcelona I am going to have to watch that game again with this commentator. They are awesome!!!!

Miserable day for you I see? This ought to cheer you up!

Not kylehimself? Congratz Capri sun!

Good, now his stock will rise up and we can sell him for a profit this summer! :blue scalf:

Same here. I am very glad to got this far, something I did not thought was possible a couple of weeks ago. What ever happens against Barcelona happens, but this is a good end to the season giving the overall season we had. And at this point trying to secure 4th place is priority, cause we don't know if we can beat Barcelona. Anything is possible, but we must try to achieve first our most realistic target and that's to finish at least in 4th spot!

I think what Mourinho wants the most is to play us in the final cause it will be easier for him. Fool all the fans and players and beat us in the final like he beat us with Inter!

Now I can say something about the game. Mikel needs a lot of work if he is going to be first choice DM against Barcelona, cause he was constantly pick of by a Benfica player. Barcelona will be worse. Mata still on a bad run. Kalou hard worker but not sure if he should also be a starting player against Barcelona. Torres or Drogba for Barcelona??? I go with Drogba. We need his physical strength against them. And defense was great as well. I hope Terry recovers and is good for the game.

This is why I don't like to cry about others team being helped by the ref. Cause then you end looking like a total hypocrite when the ref helps your team.

All I have to say is fuck, Chelsea does make us suffer! Well done Chelsea, we are in semis and that's all that matters! :blue scalf:

Yeah plus look how Chicharito brought a lot of money from Latin America. Having players from different continents open up to potential revenue. We been in need of a good Asian player for some time!

The most stupid reason ever!

Chelsea buy him, we need Asian players to get bigger fan base from Asia, like we did last couple of seasons with African players that brought a lot of African fan base! :blue scalf:

I think it's about time Chelsea get an Asian player. Look at how United stock has rise in Asia due to Park. And if that does not convince you, then look no more to Basketball with our own Knicks. We suck ass, but Lin has brought so much interest from Asia that is bringing in so much money in a short time. We need an Asian player!

I feel the same way. Cause if they do go with Barcelona then the out cry will be immense giving what happen last time against Chelsea. And besides it always tends to happen that when a ref helps you, they will also hurt you. I seen it millions of times when a ref helped one team, after some time the same teams playing again the ref helps the other team. Karma i guess...

I still don't understand why Madrid will want him. They got Ronalda, Di Maria, Callejon and a bunch of other people. Geez, don't they get tired of trying to buy everybody?

Wow I did not knew this guy existed any more! What has happen to the poor kid? Another Di Santo in the making? And Piazon has gone cold, have not heard from him either....

Cech fancies Barca clash I am with Cech, if we beat Benfica I like to play Barca as well. We got some unfinished business!

I am sure Queen Kenny will take a look at that, and thinks he is getting a bargain!

Yeah so I guess it proves that Avram was a good technical director. And that was one reason Mourinho left, because he did not like Avram choosing players.....But he has been good at that. He gets players relative unknown or cheap for good value.

Speaking about genius in the transfer market, you know that Avram did good in that aspect? Ivan and Anelka for Chelsea. If I am not mistaken, didn't he got Ba for West Ham as well? He is just a horrible manager but i give him that, he got an eye for talent!

Here is another one. Pardew!!! The men got not more then 3 seasons in the PL with the Toons, and people are all over him! Geezzzz talk about bandwagon! Let the men do his work for another 3 seasons and see how he does. Cause we always get these type of team that have one great season and then descend into mediocrity. The true mark of a great coach is seen when he falls down. Cause we see how strong is his character to get back up and keep on fighting. I think if this was the case for Moyes, he wouldn't have lasted more then a decade at Everton despite the limited budget he had to work with.

It happens not just in the PL. Pep Mel the coach from Betis has done a similar job to what Roy did. But is he something out of this world? What I think whoever is doing the thinking, is to look at a manager and see who they managed. Because if they managed a team full of superstars like Scolari with Brazil, you don't need much to do . Look at the style they play. Is it a style you want? Is it a style that gets the most out of the players you got? What type of budget they had? How is the person? How is his personality? Can he motivate the players? What is his role in helping to produce more youngster from the youth set up? etc etc etc As I go on that list, I can easily see that Sam is a big pig. His personality is horrible! Capello did great in the past, but is he able to motivate players today? He might have in the past, but today just a shadow of what is left. And continue with a bunch of coaches that show lack of determination.

The Roy thing is just another fiasco like that of McClaren and AVB. One great season in Europe and they all jumping on the bandwagon. There is a reason why I prefer managers with experience like Hiddink, Bielsa and Moyes. My main curriculum for liking a manager has to do with sustain success not a one of rare event like these fools that people mention!

I still can't get this and it sounds interesting but let me ask you, would Mikel be enough to slow down and take the sting out of a game against Barcelona???
