Was you. Carling Cup and EL are trophies that are of low standard for a team like Chelsea. But winning it is still good enough for me.

That and winning the el. It was about as nice as winning the carling cup this season and seeing Mourinho celebrate like crazy. While both competitions are of low level for a club like Chelsea, it was still nice to see.

It was terrible but it's not how you start but how you finish. After the season was over it no longer was bad. We ended on a decent note. We was improving our play finish top 4 and won a trophy. So that was good for me. Benitez ain't the best thing since slice bread but he sure wasn't the worst.

Hey its a title that to most people is the third most valuable after cl and league. Of course Chelsea don't want to be playing that, but still good enough cup.

Still it was something won then nothing like last season.

True but that's how it's done today. Comparing the amount of games and points won, like people was doing with van Gaal and moyes.

But I doubt we will go for bale having Cuadradro and Willian. One of those will have to go. I hope it's Willian. Cuadradro while I don't like the buy needs at least next season to prove what he got. Willian already had enough of him.

Yeah he did pretty decent with us giving the squad. Mourinho also finished in third with almost the same squad.

I heard that City wanted the Besiktas coach....

True point. Noticed how he also pushed for goal line technology and now we have it. Next is video technology help for refs. That's what he's been talking as of late.

Well you said it, all depends what we do this transfer window. If we do more buys like Willian and Cuadradro then expect to have the same outcome. But if like Costa and Fabregas then good.

Good points but we will find out next season. I made a point how this season feels exactly like City last season. They won the Capital One and PL but with a very unconvincing display. Then this season instead of improving they regress. So it will be a wait and see mode for next season. Do we improve or regress?

Well he's jus making those comments just to downplay any fail chances he gives to RLC next season. Like I said, all talk and no show this men when it comes to youth.

Mariner: Chelsea have been hard done by refs

Nothing new, heard the same thing about other younger players. All talk and no show.

Mourinho said this: "I think we are getting great credibility with players we sell because we sell good players. Let's see what happens." As much as it sucks to see players we sell do good, that's one thing you have to look at the positive. That we are selling good players not crappy. We did that a couple of seasons ago to Hamburg and that was a horrible buy for that club. If teams see that players we sell tend to do good they more then likely will take a chance to buy from us. So that's the positive aspect of this.

You said: the games repeating themselves year after year That my friend is the equivalent of being predictable. And why you have to curse? Did I cursed at you?

Well if it was that predictable how come no one call it before the draw? A bunch off from what I see. But mostly that's what you get when you only have 8 teams. I repeat we saw the same years ago with English teams. Now it's with Spanish teams.

Because they are the best at the moment. It used to be the same a couple of years ago with Liverpool vs Chelsea....

Lol they left you torn didn't they?

Here someone posted this a couple of pages back: Premier League to lose Champions League spot? Coefficients explained... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9755210/premier-league-to-lose-champions-league-spot-coefficients-explained

A lot of Porto vs Monoco on people predictions. I bet you that won't happen.

Is Koke like Xavi Alonso? Because I think Mourinho was aiming for something similar at Real Madrid with Xavi Alonso and Modric in the mid. I believe he also wanted to get Matic to play in the mid, so he would have had a mid of Matic Xavi Alonso and Modic. If that was his intention at Madrid, then I see a high probablity that he would try to do the same here. Fabregas like Modric and Koke like Xavi Alonso?

We can play Koke at Chelsea like Barcelona does. If you see Barcelona lineup they had Iniesta, Busquet and Raquitic in the 3. Our 3 are not as great but a 3 of Koke, Matic and Fabregas might be good. And then have an upfront of 3 with Costa, Hazard and whoever else.
