Barcelona's president Sandro Rossell... http://www.as.com/english/articulo/rosell-we-ve-been-unlucky/20130501dasdenspo_12/Ten Haven't had much luck with refereeing decisions this season?! OH GIVE ME A BREAK!! :rant:

Lucescu on the Fernandinho rumour to City. City not at Shakhtar's level? Wow!

Oh great. We need him to be available and playing so that we can rotate and rest 1-2 key players.

As some has mentioned, watching this Bayern side is like watching us playing under Mourinho. Rock solid defensively, discipline tactically, high work rate, the pressing, closing down, being incisive, ruthless, aggressive. Just brilliant to watch. Full deserved their place in the final and congrats to them. As for Barcelona, the amount of times they have looked so clueless this season is staggering. They just have no clue whatsoever on what to do whenever things aren't working for them. It's just ridiculous! Anyway, it's Dortmund v Bayern in the final on 25th May at Wembley. To make things interesting, they will face each other this Saturday in the Bundesliga.

Chelsea and José Mourinho have yet to strike an agreement over return

Hunter expects Mourinho return

Mancini to Napoli? Mazzarri's contract expiring this summer. OR potentially to Roma. Currently have Aurelio Andreazzoli only as interim till end of the season.

The voting for Goal of the Season has been opened by the club and below are the 10 goals they have selected in which we can vote: 1. Ivanovic vs Wigan (A) 2. Torres vs Newcastle (H) 3. Oscar's 2nd goal vs Juventus (H) 4. Cahill vs Spurs (A) 5. Mata's 2nd goal vs Spurs (A) 6. Hazard vs Stoke (A) 7. Lampard vs Newcastle (A) 8. Hazard vs West Ham (H) 9. Demba Ba vs Man United (FA Cup - H) 10. Luiz vs Fulham (A) 11. Luiz vs Basel (H) Your choice for goal of the season? Which goals from that list do you think shouldn't be in there and be replaced by others instead? What other goals you think are better than the ones listed? The goal of the season IMO is obviously Oscar's 2nd against Juventus. Just pure quality and inspiration. Shed a tear when I saw it. Also, don't particularly agree with few of them above - Ivanovic vs Wigan, Torres vs Newcastle, Lampard vs Newcastle and Hazard vs Stoke. Can be replaced by others such as Mata vs Wolves(H) and Newcastle(A), Hazard vs Man United(A) and Sparta Prague(H) & Luiz vs Villa(H). Those are much better goals.

A few seconds late! Better luck next time.

Michael Essien aims for Chelsea comeback after end of Real Madrid loan deal

You forgot 1 key fella here - the agent. Agents today manage a lot of managers and/or players and given they are well connected in communication through agencies, clubs, dealings etc, it wouldn't be a surprise if such info got out anyway.

He can play tonight. Served his suspension in the 1st leg already.

SIX Bayern players are 1 YC away from potentially missing the final if they pick up one tonight against Barcelona - Dante, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Martinez, Gustavo and Gomez.

Can't understand for the life of me why people want Pepe here, as mentioned in the Mourinho thread last night. Previously, people were criticizing him for being a poor defender, his play-acting, violent act on the pitch etc and now they suddenly want him here because Roman is handing Mourinho a 'gift'?! Pepe is a poor defender and is walking time bomb with a red card waiting to happen on the pitch. He is rash, reckless in challenges, hot-headed and sometimes even going around elbowing people. Do we really want somebody like that in the team?!

Probably from the customary penalty given against us in this competition..

And cue the red cards. Would be surprised if the opposition players don't end up on the treatment table coming up against those two...
