Yeah but Aguero and Tevez have been shit also - City have performed badly... But Dzeko at Wolfsburg in Bundes was amazing... He also scored some good goals for City once he settled in... If given a consistent run of games he'll score plenty I would have him here instead of Torres Lukaku, Dzeko and BA would be a great strike force for next season Lewa, Lukaku and BA would be better tho

Thing is Harry did sign him and sold him to us So don't be too harsh on old Uncle Harry now

Fucking cool - I'm due to drive back to Salzburg shortly - I'll bundle the FSW in the Sharan (company car don't ask) and drive him there myself! Schalke ain't much of a detour on a 1600km or 1000 mile journey only takes 14 hours if EuroTunnel works properly

Ok Real Madrid career = 260 games, 120 goals (all competitions) He's been getting worse - stand out season: 2009/10 - 40 games, 29 goals This season: 40 games, 19 goals (all competitions) - isn't that the same as Torrid? Whereas Lewandoski - 43 games, 35 goals... So definitely would consider Lewandoski over Higuain

Was that Drogba playing with Malaria? Was that the one who gave fuck all? Can't quite remember Mikel needs a fire up his arse and quick Tomorrow he can prove his mantle If he has a blinder I will be man enough to say well done son - but one swallow doesn't mean a summer

Dzeko because he knows the premiership and scores when played and offers a Plan B... Don't blame Dzeko for the way he's been treated at City... And yes a proven goal scorer over a guy that can't play with other great guys... Is there even a debate?

And Argentina are some legendary formidable team? No they ain't - with the quality of players they've had they should have dominated world football, but they haven't... Higuain - he's not what Chelsea need and is therefore 'Shit' in my opinion... Like Benzema 'also shit' - These are the kinds of signings the Spuds would make! This is Chelsea we demand more! Cavanni/Lewa/Falcao Show me Higuain stats then - I'd rather have Aguero over Higuain every day of the week ending in a 'Y' I'd even take Dzeko over Higuain That is all

Ahh - ok bit slow this morning I thought good call by Blues Master way back then

Looked like you started this thread in December - saying Chelsea vs Benfica in final? If not - who did start it? - well done to them

Yeah I'm serious he's SHIT I wouldn't even pay 10 million for him! I rate RvP much higher than him and I reckon RvP would shine where Higuain hasn't... As for Villa = bad since he broke his leg! Nothing to do with Messi or Ronaldo... That's MY opinion, deal with it

Wow forgotten about that cup I still remember the days of the Milk cup

Great! Sounds exactly like Torres - Drogba must go before I can play... #bullshit... Higuain isn't good enough - end of story...

Hmm think it will be hard for us to find common ground here Ok on Luiz On Mikel - it's not just 1 incident, that's the one that rankles most. He is definitely playing below the standard required. Maybe it was AFCON, as Moses has looked poor since returning too! Guess we will find out tomorrow

5 Sun 16:00 Man Utd A PREM Sky 8 Wed 19:45 Tottenham H PREM Sky 11 Sat 12:45 Aston Villa A PREM Sky 15 Wed 19:45 Benfica N UEFA 19 Sun 16:00 Everton H PREM Fucks sake we have 2 x games in 3 days and 2 x games in 4 days! Hope we have completed our Top 4 ambitions by the time we play Benfica as Everton on final day is going to be tough - 9 points against Utd, Spuds and Villa should be good enough

Final:Benfica vs ChelseaThe match will be played on 15th May (Wednesday) at the Amsterdam Arena and it will kick off at 7.45pm UK time.Kudos great call Hope you stuck some money on it

Ok on Luiz in midfield - he's the best option we have at the moment - either: Luiz + Mikel or Luiz + Ramires Are to me the best DM pairing. If in the summer we sign a World Class DM I would be happy for Luiz to play CB as a ball playing defender - he would give so much more options - as others have said hard to press and he could be the transition from Defence to Attack that we lack. I get Mikel is rested in some games, also injured - but he really does need to sharpen up! Against City he just let Toure walk past him, he's (for whatever reason) lost his desire, hunger... Under RDM he looked a much better player, under RB he's returned to the player he was... No energy or desire. Please go back and check my posts on him under RdM - I was amazed it was like we had signed a new player! Now, he's back to under-performing and annoying me every minute of every game

Lol be prepared for 'Notification Hell' as a million voices cry out - there's a disturbance in the force... Hazard has been criticised Hehehe I have no idea where his eventual talent will end up - but one thing I know - I'm glad he's at Chelsea

My votes: Only place to be strike T.T (been mentioning him for ages, glad others are now doing so too!) Honourable mentions as always... Stingray, Hutcho and of course We Hate Scouse... (For his Mourinho prediction)

Lol - yeah true... Still doesn't mean Mikel isn't shit Luiz >> Mikel - said it months ago - Luiz best position right now is DM... Got slated but hey, everybody else can now see it. I also had high hopes for Mikel for a period of 3-4 games he was bursting forward and passing so well... Then he just slipped back into lazy mode... He reminds me of Adabeyour (sp?) - when he wants to play = amazing, but rest of time = frustratingly average.... Good squad player tho!

Can you link me to some stories? Like I say I deal with Bayern fans day in day out and they like this guy! They are sad he is retiring? Some are gutted Pep is coming, they think he will ruin Bayern... Germans (no offence) tend to only trust a few nationalities and in my limited exposure this has been: Japanese, English and South Korean. This is from a manufacturing perspective of course - but they do have concerns over Pep and would have preferred a German manager! If this guy really isn't retiring - then I agree - he is Mourinho plan B. Wild be hard luring him to the hustle and bustle of London though - as he's been living in Bavaria which is very relaxed, clean and the polar opposite of London! I guess for him though its only 1:40 on a plane

Good post - I do think the comments about Moyes not winning anything are a little unfair - Everton have NEVER (in recent history) had a squad as good as Le Arse... What Moyes has achieved with a small budget and small wage structure is pretty good IMHO... I hope he gets to shine at a bigger club - I would always pick Mourinho ahead of him...

To be fair - that was when Ramy was being used as a Right Winger!!!

Ok... The Trust existed - but had little traction? - Correct - people were always concerned about our hire/fire policy, as well as potentially leaving the 'Bridge'... RdM was the catalyst to start this - I truly believe that. As for belittle - objective criticism? I'm only pointing out what I see as a flawed approach. Sure - the club isn't going to turn round and say 'No' is it - of course they will acknowledge the existence. But like I, and others, keep saying what's it going to achieve? Did the Man U trust stop the Glazers taking over - putting Utd in massive debt? - No... Did the Spurs trust stop Modric being sold? - No Did the Lpool trust stop Loserpool sliding into mid-table obscurity? - No As for the Arsenal trust - lol - did they actually stop anything happening? - No.... That's kinda my point - its ok having a structured, legal entity to represent the fans - but what's it going to achieve? Ticket prices is perhaps the best it can hope for....

Hmm.. the reason Bayern are getting Pep is because he is retiring? Otherwise, why would he be leaving Bayern? He's 67 yrs old and wants to relax now... Having built that amazing team with Goetze confirmed for next season - you'd be mad to give it up - unless you were dead serious about retiring. I do agree he's an awesome manager - he's got Ribery and Robben playing defensive and the whole TEAM working as a unit - perfect balance between defence and attack - truly a joy to watch!

Thanks Martina - like you - I hope the nod was a 'subliminal' thing and he is coming How is Denmark these days? Still loving the Danish Bacon by the way - even if you guys don't eat it
