Roman, you cool MOFO

I feel very lucky.
Being a johnny-come-lately I only became a Chelsea supporter in 2010 so I missed out on the Mourinho era.
I always regretted not becoming a football fan earlier so I could've experienced what it was like to have Jose Mourinho as the manager of my team.
Well now I've been granted a second chance!
And I'm sure someone's mentioned this but funny how things work out: If Di Matteo was sacked at the end of the season and Mourinho took his place it'd be a little bittersweet, but since Benitez replaced Di Matteo then Mourinho replaced Benitez we've gotten all the bad feelings over Robbie's sacking out of the way early so now we can experience nothing but pure joy.

Interesting article on Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky feud in Vanity Fair magazine.

Hero, the word "legend" just doesn't do him justice, everything he has done for the club, goes above and beyond what anyone expected when he first bought us.

So mad about the United-Chevrolet deal.
So the company gets bailout money from the American government and then they spend part of that on a MU sponsorship.
Also the guy who negotiated that deal for Chevrolet was fired prob because the deal was so ridiculous. Bunch of clowns running Chevrolet.
FFP is a joke, you can get rid of the future Paris St Germains, Chelseas and Manchester Cities, that's one side of the coin, the other side is the established brands (because they're not clubs anymore they're brands) like Barca, Real Madrid and Manchester United going on a financial arms race to see who can make the most money no matter how ridiculous. IPO's, giant island theme parks in United Arab Emirates, etc.

I want Chelsea to get Clint Dempsey.
I have no idea if it would be a great move footballing wise, I couldn't tell you.
But just all the positive buzz it would create in the US media and everything it would be so awesome.
If Clint Dempsey isn't that good I won't mind but if he goes to MU or Arsenal or whoever and starts playing lights out and my gut instinct is proven true I'm going to be so dissapointed.
