So a tie for them. Men I guess they are still alive. Going to be a very fun game the Roma vs City. Edit: NVM City do it like I thought they was going to do it. That's why you don't jump the gun. All those you who bet against City I hope you learn next time. I knew it would be a very tricky fixture for betting.

Well can't argue against the record. Just like we can't argue against the record of Mourinho as being one of the best managers in the world. Anyone who want to debate this simple is just hating, as the stats don't lie.

Didn't I said before the game to not count them dead? I was saying that I was feeling too much complacency by Bayern side. This same thing can happen to us in the PL, that's why Mourinho talks about not getting complacent.

Like I said before, I would not be surprised if City have their game of their life. They already beat Bayern last season. So let's see before jumping the gun.

Jose Mourinho insists he is not motivated by the thought of matching Roberto Di Matteo's achievement of winning the Champions League with Chelsea. Instead the Portuguese wants to set about building his next great team at Stamford Bridge, one that is capable of challenging for the trophy which has so far eluded him during his time in west London. Having delivered European Cups whilst in charge at Porto and Inter Milan, Mourinho so far has not been able to repeat the feat with Chelsea - whose one and only success in the competition came under Di Matteo's stewardship in 2012. But this season has started promisingly for the Blues, who are unbeaten in all competitions and sit clear at the top of the Premier League. Progression into the knockout stages of the Champions League can be attained with a victory over Di Matteo's Schalke side in Gelsenkirchen on Tuesday evening but Mourinho is not thinking about having to equal the Italian's triumphs during his spell at Chelsea. "Don't ask me to speak about him," said Mourinho when asked about Di Matteo. "The history is the history - he was on the Chelsea bench when Chelsea won the Champions League and he is a historic name in this club, I have nothing more to say. "My name is in the history of this club. A football club is made of many, many names not one or two names or one player or one manager. I did my history here and now I have the chance to make more history here and he was Chelsea manager and he did his history." Mourinho even said that winning the competition was not necessarily evidence of managerial brilliance. “The Champions League, many, many times I say, is not a consequence of a great work,” Mourinho said. “Sometimes it is not. You can win the Champions League in the worst season. You can finish fifth and win the Champions League. "Right. Liverpool did, and Chelsea, too. A knockout competition is something that always has a big percentage of unpredictability. "I can do nothing to win it. I can only work to improve my team all the time, make a very good team like we are doing. "Me working on the pitch, the board working at other levels to make a great team like we did in 2004/05/06." Mourinho has targeted victory in Germany to secure safe passage at the first opportunity and avoid tricky fixtures in amongst important domestic games in December - warning his players not to take qualification for granted. The teams drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge in the first round of fixtures before Di Matteo replaced Jens Keller as Schalke boss and even another draw on Tuesday would go a long way to keeping Mourinho on course to bring his first European Cup to Chelsea.

Yes but it's only a few. While Liverpool supporters are a lot more worldwide and media favors them. If Liverpool wins, more deluded thoughts from media. City won last year not many fanfare. Imagine if Liverpool would have won? A million books been written and all that. So for me it will always be better City to win when we can't win it then instead of Liverpool. But speaking about City, today their last chance to stay alive in the CL. It could well happen where they have their game of their lives. Too much complacency on Bayern I see. So let's see if we get a good match or just a total blow out.

Has the sentence being passed already? News link to Jury saying he's not guilty? That will bring some major riot, especially when the police department said they will put him back on duty.

Well I never bought the whole Mourinho thing about youth. His record is not that great and you know what, it's okay. For a club as ours where we can afford to buy players it's alright. I'm just glad that our club is not stupid enough in paying 30 million LB just because he's "English" when we have a player in that same role that ain't good enough to take over what we have. Ryan good enough for the Saints, but not good enough to be our number one starter like it was with Ashley and currently Azpi.

Lol I'm just mentioning what is the big command of the Bible. When a person is operating out of love for the "sake of God" then God is not involved. Given that God is love, so if your going against that then your breaking his number one command. And if you break one command you break all. That is the measurement of the God of the Bible. Now I don't know about Islam as I don't know about that religion. Let their believers tell you what their number command is and if it goes with what's going on today.

Everything you mentioned was done without love. So my whole point again: And those who call themselves Christian and they practice no love they area nothing. Love is the highest command in the bible and that one was practiced by Jesus. In being done no wrong he died for his friends. All these others where done out of distortion, self gain and lack of love. What is the highest command of Muslim? Love or peace?

Common shared opinion? Maybe if your English, but not to me. It's about the same to me. The top teams totally destroy the smaller teams. Chelsea record of goals just like Barca and Real.

Ronaldo was actually killing the EPL before he left. People was saying that same thing you said, that the EPL defense is shit and all that. Ronaldo is just too good, simple as that.

What those two Muslim guys did at the synagogue was evil. But even more evil is those that approved and try to justify such means. And those who call themselves Christian and they practice no love they area nothing.

Well that's the logical choice. Because Liverpool will give Rodgers one more year, United will keep their coach. So it falls between City and Arsenal. Weather City is serious enough to sack Pellegrini if they win nothing this season and weather Arsenal are really letting Wenger go. So I see it a high chance that Klopp will come to EPL and even higher chance of him taking over Arsenal because FFP favors Arsenal then City. And he's a very smart manager to choose the best choice long term. If that all happens next season then more then likely as well that Reus follows him to Arsenal.... Ah speculation at it's best.

Not according to @Term-X, where we should have spend every penny on him just because he's English.

Should give him a new contract this new year a long with Hazard as well.

I still wonder who was our target if we didn't get Fabregas. Mourinho said they had another target if he didn't come. Imagine we could have probably been with paulinho or something like that. ?

He's a big time diver. I don't like this.

To Chelsea players? Yes I know, but not to Milan. That's a big criticism to how far they have fallen.

Sell him to Milan since that's the new pensioners house.

I think Roman tried and he snubbed us. So no point in going over that anymore. We turn to Mourinho and he came running. And for that we are grateful to this man.

Cech did it to Cudicini. What goes around comes around.

Wow amazing. And to think atlético had those 2 strikers in their books plus Falcao. Men Atletico has a good scouting system.

So was Moyes really that bad? When you look at Van Gaal he's having the same problem and he spend a lot of money. Yet Van Gaal is consider world class. I think this just shows that no matter who's in charge, if you have a shit team everything will be shit.

Why make a whole thread of rumor? Plus shouldn't this go to the transfer section?
