Fulham Broadway

Out today at 10:00. When you look at how they are arranged theres no way they're random Designed for maximum SkyTV drama. Bet you its ManUtd away towards the end. Meanwhile......

What a game that was - Theres nothing Cech could have done about the third, but the first and second especially -oh dear. The tournaments beem really good so far.

For all the shit he's supposed to have said no one has ever heard him say any of it -so to call him schizo, gobby, cunt etc is way out there.. As for 'not having loyalty' probably less than 1% of footballers do.

Sorry missed it GZ -hope you had a fantastic time

Agree with that. Most of his 'quotes' have been misquotes by red journalists to destabilise us imo. He's deadly at what he does, probably the best in the world -will go down as a Chelsea 'great', unless the media win the propaganda battle..

Well the yids have a performer in Modric. To me Germanys undoing is Gomez -overrated and innefective, and when Schweinsteigger came on he made all the difference, but too late. They should progress though.... On the Austria Poland game, the Polish round our way are going mad about Howard Webb -but it was a clear penalty, and he'd warned them about shirt pulling a couple of minutes before

Lol theres some quality in that squad (apart from Jody), and you can see that was the start of our present success being sown. Wish we had super dan still......

S'alright son. No ones getting stabbed. It's what the So Bar is for. As you say it's a debate, join in, we're not all racist towards Derbyshire Well that's my point -every country had a dark history involving the subjugation of other peoples, but how far do you go back ? Badboy is sore about Europes history, but its fact and you cant change it. People go on about the North American Indians being massacred by the settlers from Europe in the 18th and 19th century. Anthropologists now say that the North Amercan Indains killed and displaced tribes from the Arctic circle...

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been presented with a list of targets by Chelsea that features Fernando Torres, Robinho and Franck Ribéry. The Brazilian, who will take over as manager at Stamford Bridge next month, will be given an unlimited transfer budget by Roman Abramovich, the club’s owner, and has proposed signing Kaká and Deco. Chelsea, with a well-drilled defence and outstanding central midfield players such as Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard and Michael Essien, will focus on recruiting wide players and strikers this summer, a policy that fits with Abramovich’s desire for more attacking football — although he is aware that José Mourinho, the new Inter Milan coach, has made Lampard his No 1 target. Many of the stars on Chelsea’s horizon may prove beyond their reach as they play for rivals with no need to sell, but Abramovich is confident that the sheer weight of money will convince some of them to cash in. Torres is a case in point, with Liverpool adamant that they will not sell a striker who scored 33 goals in his first season with the club, but Chelsea hope to exploit divisions between Anfield’s warring owners, George Gillett Jr and Tom Hicks. Chelsea have been told that one of the Americans is willing to let Torres go for the right price and are planning to test Liverpool’s resolve with a bid. Kaká falls into the same category because AC Milan have stated that the Brazil forward is not for sale at any price, but Chelsea are hoping to use Didier Drogba and Andriy Shevchenko as pawns to push the transfer through. Chelsea have rejected bids from Milan for both strikers and they hope that Scolari’s relationship with a player he took to his first World Cup finals at the age of 20, in 2002, will convince him to leave the San Siro. Bayern Munich are similarly reluctant to sell Ribéry, but Robinho and Deco should be far easier to acquire from Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. Scolari has wasted no time in assembling his backroom staff and is planning to bring two of his Portugal colleagues, Flávio Teixeira and Darlan Schneider, to Stamford Bridge. Teixeira has worked as Scolari’s assistant since the Brazilian took his first job, at Centro Sportivo Alagoano, in 1982 and is regarded as his eyes and ears, while Schneider, the nephew of Scolari’s wife, Olga, was recruited as a fitness coach when he took the job as Portugal coach in 2003. Scolari has gone out of his way to praise his squad’s sharpness at Euro 2008, which he attributes to Schneider. Chelsea hope that Steve Clarke will remain at the club as a second assistant, in a similar set-up to that under Mourinho, while they also want to retain Christophe Lollichon as goalkeeping coach. Scolari’s appointment has been welcomed by Chelsea’s players, but not by Sir Alex Ferguson. The Manchester United manager has privately expressed anger that the Brazilian has been advising Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portugal forward, to leave Old Trafford for Real. The Times HaHA love the last bit

Lol he doesnt take any prisoners, and not afraid to be cuntish to get results. He coated off Figo, and upset the whole Portuguese nation...for a while.

I think he needs to keep a core of 8 or 9 but wont complain if he brings in kaka His work record although impressive, does not show he stays in one place for long(Portuguese national team the exception). So expect Chelsea fan angst over who's next in a season or two.....

"I'll wait for you outside, mate" – Scolari books a date with a referee who ordered him from Brazil's bench in 2000. "He was going to hit [Ricardo] Quaresma and I defended him" - pugilist Phil stands up for his players by thumping the Serbian defender Ivica Dragutinoviç in a Euro 2008 qualifier last September. "Who was to blame out there was the referee. Two metres offside!" - Scolari's alternative reason for punching Dragutinoviç. "I'm not perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and I lost my head here" - the suits from the Portuguese FA prise a confession from chastened Phil over the Serbian punch-up. "If someone talks about my private life, for example, I'll give them a good punching. I'm not interested in suing. I like to sort things out my way" - that sounds like a challenge for the British press. "Jesus said we should turn the other cheek. Unfortunately, Figo is not Jesus Christ" - and nor did Jesus headbutt Mark van Bommel, as Luis Figo just had in June 2006. "I believe firmly in astrology. Since I was a kid, the stars told me I was a winner" - he's a Scorpio, by the way. The same as the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. "When the ball goes to his feet it doesn't cry. When it goes to my feet it cries"- the difference between Zinedine Zidane and Scolari. "I don't want this situation involving England because in two days during which I was not coach, I never agreed to anything, my life was invaded. My privacy was totally under siege" - the Sensitive One rejects England. "I think Pele knows nothing about soccer. He's done nothing as a coach and his analysis turns out to be always wrong. If you plan on winning a title, you do the opposite to what Pele says" - World Cup winner Scolari reveals the secret of his success. "[He] tortured a lot but there is no illiteracy in Chile" - Big Phil offers a Thatcheresque critique of General Pinochet's leadership. Guardian

Academiatastic. Environmental Determinism, never heard of that one -oh, us politics graduates. Amazing, the terms generated in university.

That Swiss Turkish game was surprisingly good. Germany could have their work cut out this afters against Croatia. Anyone else notice what pervs the Swiss are ? Name: Stadion Wankdorf Club: BSC Young Boys Insert Arsene Wenger jokes here...........

Well put Elliott. Social Darwinism wasnt it to justify the European dominance ?

Well done. So you're creating crises then.

Well you're taking some back now from scousers in your restaurant Back on topic - my accent is a mixture of South african, Indian and with a touch of a German twang...

Thats the danger - if they interfere he'll tell them to fuck off -no two ways about it. His favourite book is The Art of War.....

Lol 'Evil' is an emotional religous term. European whites exploited Africa for it's natural resources -just as other Africans do now. So should the Congolese who fought in Civil war be chucked out of Africa, the Darfurians? , Angolans? Somalians ?, Ethiopians ? All black Africans that have massacred other black Africans. Or is it just a white ting ? Should the Dutch not be allowed in Indonesia or South Africa either ?

I dont want to see stepover tart lifting the cup...but Portugal have a good chance of winning it. If they dont, Abramovich will sack him on 2nd July. Well I hope Abramovich and Buck have learned their lesson and dont interfere with Scolaris methods -being 59 bit old for a Scolari dynasty , but I hope we have a bit of continuity now...

They're scared of getting shot on the tube mainly

Well I didnt steal them personally -thats like accusing all blacks of being muggers. Anyway, you're right there are rich people in the UK and US whose money has been passed down by slave traders. The slaves werent just black - Irish as well. Some of the slave traders were black as well as Arabs. Its a shame there is racism still -at the moment I would say theres an active racist campaign against arabs, Iraqis, Iranians by the US, UK and Israel. They're basically being bombed to fuck as the US steals their resources with a fictional Al Quaeda as a reason. Theres also racism against Germans and French which people see as ok To say Indians and Whites shouldn't be in South Africa is a bit nazi ?

Kaka does seem a bit far fetched. Although that bastion of truth..er...The Star says hes got £200 million to play with. According to names so far he's only interested in players whose names end in a vowel. Deco, Kaka, David Villa, Robinho, Joao Moutinho........

There will be some transfer movement soon now. The defence is sorted -Lord Percy will stay now - and the club own another young Brazilian CB at PSV as well. Aren't the fixtures out Monday ?

I think he'll do the obvious -BenHaim, Sidwell, Pizarro etc -but also he'll also do some of his own changes. I'm really optimistic of the league now already, but wouldn't mind Portugal getting knocked out next round -give our defence a rest, and allow Scolari to analyse the Premiership. He might know about Portugal, and the auld enemy Argentina -but how about Blackburn, Wigan, Everton etc ? Credentials are impressive -won the equivalent of the South American Champions League-twice; Gene Hackmans Filmography Kuwait Emir Cup (Al Qadisiya), 1989 Copa do Brasil (Ciricuma), 1991 Copa do Brasil (Gremio), 1994 Copa Libertadores (Gremio) 1995 Campeonato Brasileiro (Gremio), 1996 Recopa Sudamerica (Gremio), 1996 Copa do Brasil (Palmeiras), 1998 Copa Mercosur (Palmeiras), 1998 Copa Libertadores (Palmeira), 1999 Fifa World Cup (Brazil), 2002 Dont think that'll happen Frank -he would have signed already. One things for sure he's a 1000% improvement on the previous sack of shit.
