I don't remember if I saw that game but like I said these detailst are not that important. We were knocked out in the middle of the season but the guys stood up and did their best so I was happy with them. (it's impressive how you recalled that Blackburn-United game, wow )

The United game was in the 36th round, not the 37th. MU lost 2 points at Blackburn so if we won at Manchester.. I don't want to split hair though, my point is that the team worked very hard to have a chance at Old Trafford, we applied ourselves. We defeated MU, City and Tottenham in March/April, I was really proud.

I meant Premier League of course

His 2nd season was a disappointment but I don't know if it's only his fault.. After we won the PL we lost Carvalho, Ballack, Dec and Joe Cole but only signed Benayoun and Ramires. Was it Ancelottis idea to start the season like that? There were numerous disastrous moments that season but it was pretty impressive how hard we were fighting and at the end we actually had a chance to win the PL.

That's why I asked it, I had no idea. I did know that Daily Mail is toilet paper and so is Daily Star but I wasn't sure about Daily Telegraph. Too much daily shit Anyway, this is bad news. Please Signor don't go to City.. Pep>Simeone>Ancelotti

I miss his honest attacking football either. We scored 103 goals with players like Kalou, Malouda or Anelka. It'd be nice to see Carlo working with Eden, Willian and Oscar. Mourinho is a tactical genius but I really like Signor Ancelottis style. He never parks the bus, he wants to score more goals than the opponent, simple as that. It'd be a little sad if he managed Manchester City at Stamford Bridge and we would park the bus against them. Let's hope these rumours are rubbish and he stays away from England

How could we know if Ancelotti was not the right man to rebuild a team? I think he was, it was the board that fucked up. Villas-Boas and Bobby were poor choices.. We sacked Carlo after one "bad" season, ridiculous. We finished 2nd in the league(6th, 3th, 3th since that) and played a CL-quarterfinal. We let Ricky, Ballack, Belletti, Deco and Joe Cole go and had Lampard, Anelka, Drogba and Malouda as players over 30. We were not patient enough. Ancelotti has a lot of experience and he coached PSG and Real Madrid since we sacked him. What if he takes the City job, produce a good season or two with those players and build a new City? Also, this City squad is not that old, they could easily have 2-3 good seasons, especially with a few new young players.

Manchester City line up Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti to replace Manuel Pellegrini at end of season http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/11445665/Manchester-City-line-up-Real-Madrid-manager-Carlo-Ancelotti-to-replace-Manuel-Pellegrini-at-end-of-season.html Telegraph is not that reliable, is it? I really hate the idea.. Ancelottis sick attacking style with Agüero, Bony, David Silva (and De Bruyne?). We should never ever park the bus against them if true. Let's just hope Pellegrini stays. His Real Madrid and his City were ok but Ancelotti is another story.

Friedel, Given - HUGE NO. This is Chelsea, we won't sign Aston Villas 2nd or Spurs' 3rd GK. They are not HG either. Begovic - Fantastic player, would love to see him here but he reportedly turned down multiple top clubs because he didn't want to be a benchwarmer. I don't know if he'd change his mind, maybe a fat check will do it. Green, Gordon - I don't really trust them. They are like Reina: they can present fantastic saves but they flop a lot either. Ruddy: seems to be a good choice. Decent goallie, Englishman(which is important because we are running out of them), experienced.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ruddy He has played for 12 clubs! Anelka who?

We still have Salah so we can control the situation. We clearly made a mistake with Kevin but I think we've learned from it. The board have learned that we just can't let a promising young player go. Loan them out for 2 years(Salah) or only sell them with buy-back option(Thorgan).

It's pretty much Sunderland's attitude too as they suspended him. Understandable decision though.

I thought you were talking about the COC-final only, my bad.

I'm not sure if it's true. Aké have to fight with Matic, Fábregas, Ramires and Mikel while there is only 2 players Zouma's position. Aké's had no chance top play regularly. I would love to see him more often but he's been sitting on the bench for months while Zouma played a lot of games recently. It was the right call to name Zouma in the starting eleven. Aké's situation at Chelsea is worrying though.. He was so good every time he played for Us.

Good one "1st-4th League" would sound bad. Also, it would be pretty hard to find 32 European champion team. I wouldn't be flattered if I had to watch our the Hungarian and the Bosnian champion instead of Barca and Real.. Now it's your turn to answer mine

Thank you, but it's EL because only European(or to be more accurate UEFA-members) teams can play there, it clearly has nothing to do with Europa moon or prince. Why did they decided to name it Europa League then? That's a real mistery

Should I trill the "r" then? Thanks for the answer though. I checked UEFA's homepage and Wiki but didn't find anything.

It may be a very stupid question and you might laugh at me but I take my chance: Why is EL called Europa League, not Europe League? What's the difference?

Salah is still ours so his success is our success. If he keeps on playing like that we either call him back next year or sell him for a couple of millions. Win-win.

Newcastle fans will regret to force him out. He's been doing his job very well, Palace is about to past Newcastle..

I still believe in him, that's exactly why I watched 3 out of his 6 match las month. I'm only saying that it wass better for all three parties to loan him out to Fiorentina. Football is a buisness and it's fast these days. We got rid of Grant, Scolari, Villas-Boas or Di Matteo in a few months and they are managers, not even players. At a top side you have to take your chance quickly, that's all I'm saying. (and I haven't even mentioned Lukaku, Mata, De Bruyne..) Either way, we didn't sell Salah so he might get a second chance. Chelsea are monitoring him. Who said he was shit?

Not only married, his son was born in January. Disgusting if true, let's rot in the jail Adam. I hope they will hook up with you there just like you did with a child.

You are killing me. friend Even if I write something positive about Salah you take it as an insult. I have never said that "he is EL level". I said Fiorentina is the right place for him NOW. He's already played in the Champions League and I think it's better to play in the EL than sitting on his butt on weekdays. They play 2 matches every week, Montella's style suits him and the other players already trust him, they pass towards him a lot. If he is good enough he will grow out Fiorentina. A bit off, but EL is pretty good this year so we shouldn't use it as a swear word anymore. Teams take it more seriously because the winner goes to the Champions League now. Good oppurtunity for teams like Fio, Everton, Sevilla etc.

20 minutes? He started 6 matches in a row in the Premier League last season but didn't play good at all... He was also weak during the preseason. We are a top side, one just can't get too many chances and Salah has already got a few. Schürrle and Willian had some poor games last fall so it was up to Salah. He will be ready when he become mature enough to calm down and play as good as he can because he was clearly underperforming at Chelsea. You are right, he hardly ever played, but he did have chances.. COC, CL. Edit: do you really think it's unfair to say that Salah needs to improve? I really like him but Fiorentina is a club where he should be.

:D - 44 years old - former Liverpool and Spurs player - currently a 3rd choice GK - not homegrown - haven't played regularly for years Top signing it'd be.

97% and 100% for Fio is fine but it was more like 60-70 for us. That's exactly why I'm saying that he should be there. Let's hope he will play and improve a lot till next summer. He seem to be a nice guy, I would love to see him back but only if he's ready, because this season he obviously wasn't.
