Nobody seem to take real notice of it till we got Hazard.

They go round and round and round and round and round...

Funny how suddenly most people are jumping into the Belgium bandwagon after we got Hazard...

F1 is probably worse!

Under Sam Allardyce? Oh no. Stoke might be a good fit for him.

On one hand, you said we have almost signed VDW(included in the 4 players). Then on the other side, you said there was a "reliable dutch rumour". IF there was a reliable Dutch source to this rumour, then it is not one anymore. Didn't see this "reliable Dutch rumour" anywhere yesterday or today. Right now, there isn't anything really concrete about this yet.

Typical bitter scousers.

Not sure if there is a big difference in doing that. After all, Swansea just got promoted last season. However, it would be hilarious to see Dave Whelan going to the media and reporting every single move of Martinez again.

They are. Was just a suggestion mentioning Zola. Gonna be a risk if they hire Jones who has yet to manage a club, let alone one in the Premier League.

Same with Swansea really. Unless they get in a decent manager, safe to say they might very well get relegated. Speaking of that, thought Zola might be good fit for Swansea. Likes to play attacking football and the blueprint is already there for him to do so.

Gonna be given a 20 million transfer kitty by Randy Lerner apparently.

Thought Paul Lambert isn't that type of manager. Maybe he might explain his move in the future, I don't know but seriously can't judge a book by its cover.

Disappointed with that TBH. Said he was happy at Norwich and even tore into a journalist in a PC for questioning the rumours linking him with Villa and now, he's off to Villa.

An article on the Terry-Cahill partnership for England and bit of praise on Cahill too. http://www.guardian....land?CMP=twt_gu Just to add, neither Chelsea nor England have lost when Terry partners with Cahill in defence. For Chelsea: P7 W4 D3 For England: P4 W3 D1

Is it little bit too optimistic to hope for an announcement tonight?? Here's a little news article on Hazard. http://www.telegraph...at-Wembley.html That quoted paragraph above suggests that he is a bit of a prankster. Can't imagine him and Luiz together.

That. Imperative that we snap one of them up ASAP before they are taken by others. If not, we might end up with a 2nd or even 3rd rate RB in the future.

Agree and this rivalry could or perhaps have already eclipsed the one we had against Liverpool.

Think he was naive in lots of aspects. Manage the players poorly and perhaps trying to be too much of a dictator for fear that the players won't respect him vecause of his age. Implementing tactics on players who don't suit his playing style and when it's not working and results are not coming, he refused to change it. Made the players looked very poor and a shadow of themselves because overcomplication of tactics. Then you also have him constantly talking about the future and that so called '3-year plan' thingy rather than focussing on the current time.

Well, I like to read the entire thing. Anything wrong? Raul didn't even start as full backs. He was one of the midfield 3 with Mikel and Lampard.

Look cap, I know Kalou is gone and you already miss him but you don't really have to put him out on the pitch there when he didn't even start the game. Mata was basically playing almost in his position you posted your love-one there and only later he came on to replace Mata. And there are 11 players on the pitch there.

They have obviously jumped the gun back then. For all the talk about playing in Munich being a 'Neutral' venue, it was hardly that. The stadium was nearly filled with 70% of Bayern fans and it was basically an away game for us more than anything else. Eh? I can already see it when I post something. And thanks.

That description is so wrong! And since when RDM set us up in a 6-3-1 formation?! He went with a 4-5-1 to begin with and after Terry was sent off, it was then changed to a 4-5-0 or 5-4-0 with Drogba playing as an auxiliary left back!

They were pretty arrogant in the buildup and during the game as well. You have their players and Uli Hoeness(IIRC) came out and talked thrash about us before the game. Then their fans came up with the 'Our City. Our Stadium. Our Cup' banner and perhaps even more pathetic was, the PA announcer worked up the Bayern crowd after Muller scored!

That 'troll' face is there for a reason you know.
