Hutcho

They change the thread title after every round.

I am not a huge fan. He does go missing at times from what i have seen. He has an impressive goalscoring record, but i don't think we should just go off that. If he comes he will have my full support, but there are better options out there imo.

Chelsea to win 2-0.

Drama in the watford game... Almunia, out in the warm up. Now thier current keeper is down. And a 19 year old is about to make his debut for watford, and he wasn't even supposed to be in the 18 man squad.

Yeah ok.

If we get Mourinho, i could actually see us bidding for someone like fellaini, to add some Height and strength in our team. Not too sure i want him that much tbh, but it wouldn't be too extreme.

But imo, Demba Ba's straight runs creates more space in behind, than torres runs to the sideline. He occupies defenders, gives mata and hazard and option and often leaves a pocket of space in behind.

Jose and Frank signing, would be the greatest signings of the summer

I still don't get the whole Rafa has turned things around as most neutrals seem to say alot. Our team had a bad run under RDM, but it wasn't in turmoil. Our Record is still worse under rafa than under RDM, and getting to a final of the Europa league won't change that. Hopefully we can win the cup get top 4, rafa can leave and we can start again next season.

Yeah, there is that distinct possibility, In which case Ba for the tottenham game as that is by far the most important one. Though i still hope Ba plays on Sunday and performs so Rafa and picks him vs spurs.

Ba for both.

Fyp

I think we are more than capable of getting the win, but i think it will be a draw. Though Tbh, it should be at least a draw, which isn't the end of the world really. I will go in expecting the team to at least get us a draw, and then anything more than that is a bonus.

I don't want him... Modric yes... But not this guy. He is 31, roman will want to get rid if him in 2 years probably. Also no more ex Liverpool.

There was shit loads of Jose chants. Including: He's coming home He's coming home He's coming Jose's coming home

Amsterdam here we come!!!

Ok, Pub time, and then to the game! My feet are ready! Lets get to the final

Yeah i also want dortmund. Back the underdogs. And i like their team and manager.

LoL Wigan.

Also how bad he was in his last years? In the 2006/07 season we came second in the prem, won the fa cup and league cup and was when we lost to liverpool on pens in the champions league semi... So we were hardly bad. Unless you are counting the 07/08 season when he had like 5 games in charge?

How many coaches have we had in the Abramovic era that have stayed long term? Answer is none. Thats something Roman needs to sort out, which he hopefully will. As for youth, that stems from the team. Again how many players have broken through to the first team in the last 8 years, who have come through our youth system. Very few in deed. Bertrand at the age of 23, is the most notable one. Its a sign of the clubs they are at. We are a buying club, along with RM. Thats something the club has to change and not specific to the manager. When you get sacked if you have a bad run of 10 games, you cannot afford to be taking chances. As much as we would like. And KDB wouldn't be someone i would worry about in that sense. More chance of him getting sold by the club it would seem atm, rather than him never getting played if he came back.

Please Play Lampard!

I don't want alonso. No more former Liverpool players. He is a good player... But he is 31, will be expensive and is a former Liverpool player.

It would be better if pep went back to Barca as opposed to Bayern, to try and turn that around. He can't gain much when he is gonna go to a team that in all likelyhood will win the treble, and be one of the best in the world. He wins the double next year and its still technically a downgrade on this season.
