We have spent a lot of money already. Can't go changing the whole team now. Look at Atlético done with far lesser budget then us. We had Mata and kdb. Sold them to keep using Oscar and he is nowhere around. So there's something wrong with that picture.

Cheated? Seriously? We sucked ass today!

No he doesn't, he just like to bash our team and manager all the time.

Interesting, he is not bad and if we get him for a good price I will say good business. Let's see if this story has any legs, or just a BS rumor made up.

Okay if you say so. I then expect a very open game. :-)

So if we go to penalties, it will be Courtois vs Schwarzer. I know Courtois is good, but in this one I will back the experience of Schwarzer to do the job for us. Lets just hope the bad luck with Mourinho team that tend to lose in penalties does not affect us this time.

Yeah that's true. It will cost too much with banning, as there would be court actions and all that shenanigans. This idea is more practical, cause the clubs will accept that much easier then anything else. Fine, club reduction, no problem!

City and PSG facing squad sanctions for FFP breaches Manchester City and Paris St Germain are expected to have financial restrictions imposed on their squads for next season's Champions League after breaching UEFA's spending rules. https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/football-city-psg-facing-squad-sanctions-115832312--sow.html

I would say yes, but you have to acknowledge that Carlo is more attack minded then Mourinho. The same team that Mourinho built at Chelsea, was very tough and rigid. When Carlo came we play some amazing stuff. Now the same at Real Madrid, the wheels has come of. However when it comes to tactics vs tactics, Mourinho wins straight out. You see what he did to us against Inter.

You guys seeing the press conference from Mourinho?

In Spanish but funny. :-)

I love Ashley glittering gold chains.

I'm sure Pelle did not like the sound of that. Well if they start fighting I don't mind bringing Zabaleta over to our team.

City, PSG breach FFP rules, offered settlements UEFA's club financial control board (CFBCB) has made offers to all the clubs deemed to have breached the rules ahead of its meeting on Thursday. The clubs - understood to be fewer than 20 in total and including Manchester City and PSG - can either accept the offer of the sanctions, which could range from a reprimand to a fine up to restrictions on the squad for European competition next season, or try to negotiate a lesser punishment. If no agreement is reached, then the outstanding cases will go to an adjudicatory panel for a final decision. It is not known what settlements each individual club has been offered but UEFA could reveal the outcomes as early as Friday. The most powerful sanction, that of being excluded from European competition, is not expected to be used against any of the clubs. UEFA and Manchester City both would not comment but City boss Manuel Pellegrini said last week there had never been any concern that the club would be excluded from the Champions League for breaching FFP rules. City have been working closely with UEFA to try to ensure they comply with spending rules, which limit losses to 45million euros over the last two years. Pellegrini said: "I felt here inside the club nobody feared we could be suspended for next year." UEFA president Michel Platini said in a French newspaper last week he did not think any of the clubs who breached rules will be banned from European competition next season. Qatar-owned PSG have been the club under most scrutiny after they wiped out their losses with a huge and back-dated sponsorship deal with the Qatar Tourist Authority. Platini said he was unsure if that "innovative" sponsorship deal with a related party played by the rules. He said: "I will say simply that Paris St Germain's financial model is distinctive and atypical. That image contract with the QTA, the tourism office of Qatar, is innovative, that's all I can say. "But is it viable? Is the value of the contract correct? These are questions that the experts must decide." https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/football-city-psg-breach-ffp-rules-183417466--sow.html

Fuck man why spoil things away for all of us! Alright mods, ban him since he change the subject!

Liverpool v Chelsea: Not anti-football from Mourinho, but simply football http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/apr/27/liverpool-chelsea-mourinho-simply-football

hehehe this one is good. Especially Cole and his glittering gold. Anyhow, I don't enjoy any victory as much....besides a tittle as winning against Liverpool and Arsenal. Mourinho has made this is transition period into a joy for me, beating the scousers twice and smashing the gunners 6 to 0. Thank you Mourinho! Oh men I can't wait for next season when Mourinho's team is to be complete!

Good game, but I imagine he's still piss at Mourinho? Read somewhere a couple of months back how he was mad and leaving this summer. Well if he does, thank you for today. Job well done.

Oh men, today Liverpool games has giving excitement and hope to all of us and our players. And if we do go to penalties, I have no fear. Schwarzer will shine!

Said it right at the end, this season has been a good evolution. Top 3 and semis in the cl. Well done Chelsea, well done Mourinho, well done players. Anything extra and your awesome. But really looking forward to next season when we will be tittle contenders from the go!

Uefa gains nothing from expulsions, is best to fine them...... Seems like I was right from the beginning. Just a means to get a slice out of the richest club into Uefa pockets.

Mourinho in 2010: Playing a weakened team is ‘unacceptable’ Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho admitted after his side 0-0 draw with Atletico Madrid that he would like to field a reserve team in their top of the table Premier League game at Liverpool on Sunday. With his second-placed side five points adrift of leaders Liverpool with only three games left, Mourinho is clearly prioritising next week's Champions League semi-final second leg at home against Atletico over their slim Premier League title hopes. Asked on ITV Sport if he would select a weaker team against Liverpool, Mourinho replied: "I think I will but it's something we have to speak about internally. It's not a decision a manager can make on his own." Funny how times, and attitudes, change. Back in 2010, shortly after taking over as manager of Real Madrid, Mourinho was involved in a blazing row with Sporting Gijon counterpart Manuel Preciado after Preciado appeared to do precisely the same thing. In September 2010, Preciado made eight changes for a midweek clash at Barcelona, then made nine changes in the following game as Sporting tried to cope with three matches in seven days. Sporting lost the clash at the Camp Nou 1-0, and Mourinho was furious that Preciado had not played all his regular starters against Real's title rivals noting that: "you can't do this in England." "A team shouldn't give away a game cheaply," said Mourinho about Sporting's team selection. "They should play to the maximum every match. You can't do this in England because you get punished. Let's see if they do it against us. "If they play in the Cup with their first team and against us with their second team, I would be grateful. " The late Preciado, who died in 2012, was furious with Mourinho's comments at the time and hit back saying: "It could just be a bad joke or it could be a provocation for the Barcelona coach," he said. "But if he is saying what he really thinks, I think he is despicable, and a bad professional colleague. "I don't like it at all. If Madrid don't teach him respect, I'll show him. We deserve the same respect that he has. "To say that Sporting, who have killed themselves to win promotion and stay in the top flight, would give up on a game... Who the hell does he think he is? "I don't know the guy because he comes from another galaxy. I haven't won the titles he has, but I have won promotions with teams and won games. I know how to win and lose. "He's used to winning but that will pass. He will lose. If you spit up in the air, it eventually falls back down again." The circus continued to roll on with Real Madrid then releasing a statement condemning Preciado's rebuttal saying that Mourinho had made his comments in an effort to promote the "sporting spirit" that should be present in every match and to "keep the competition clean." The Spanish Football Federation even went so far as to investigate the comments from all parties, and while both coaches escaped without punishment, all Liga managers were told to "moderate their statements" in the wake of the row. The two coaches eventually resolved their difference and Mourinho was one of the first to pay tribute to Preciado when he tragically died of a heart attack in 2012. "Manolo was always an honourable opponent, who I got to know well when he came to visit us in March," Mourinho said in an open letter. "He had everything that I like in a person and in sportsmen: character, openness and the courage to fight against blows. We have been left by a football figure and above all by a very special person. My memory of him will be heartfelt and permanent." https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/mourinho-2010-playing-weakened-teams-unacceptable-121515648.html

Yup this is true. The club and Roman have wanted attractive Fútbol, well what the hell they expect in getting Mourinho back? If they got him back is because they said fuck it we just want to win and don't care how we do it.

Last two seasons Chelsea won in Europe without Terry. We can still do it!
