Fulham Broadway

Cant see this happening - the lengths we went to get two quality left backs.

QPR are in theory a lot richer than Chelsea. They were recntly bought for £14 million by Ecclestone, Briatore and Mittel. They are all personal guests of Abramovich tomorrow. Mittel alone has a personal fortune of over £20 billion. He recently spent £34 million on his daughters wedding. At the moment they seem a bit tight fisted when it comes to spending on Rangers though. A third of the worlds countries are not as rich as the four combined. A bomb in Abramovichs box tomorrow would take out a fair chunk of the Worlds wealth

Lol, I know its flogging a dead horse, but the 'Kick the Fucker Out' campaign steamrollers on

Allardyce is right, £500 000 more realistic.

Ferguson has played a clever strategy by showing apparent interest in Berbatov. Do they really need another striker ? No, imo, it was a way of getting the Yids to ask an unrealistic price

Allardyce at Newcastle has been told that he can have Ben Haim for £2 million, but he has been told no loan deal. Newcastle are considering, but are thought to feel the Israeli is overpriced. Mirror News Press

It was obvious that the stories about Grant losing it, and inspiring the players at half time were false. Just look at him. Apart from anything else he's no real confidence, he'd be scared to reproach anyone except maybe a 5 year old child. Get the money grabbing fraudster out ASAP.

It wasn't personal against Arnesen -From the biographies, Mourinho is the sort that is fiercely independent -wary of being undermined, and only needed his appointed entourage. In a nutshell, too much meddling and he thought fuck it I'm off.

Cant see it. Factors that saw him go -and it was on the cards -Arnesen, Grant, Shevchenko and Ballack, Roman hanging round the dressing room like a perv, general interference. Terry row could have been the catalyst but not the primary reason. Abramovich also tarting Klinnsman as a replacement -whether speculation or not, should have been denied by Abramovich. It all added to stress for Mourinho -and he was a bit impulsive himself -no qualms on walking out of Porto, when the whistle had barely been blown.

They'd had a row -that was for sure. Whether that contributed to Mourinho being impulsive and telling Abramovich to shove it, is a possibility, but whether he left just because of a row with Terry is iffy.

If.......if.....if......oh forget it. Tell you what is odd though. -Googled ''Mourinho/Terry rift'' and the 'long' articles that appeared when Mourinho left, are no longer accessible. Either because they were true, or JT's lawyers had them removed. Water..Bridge..under etc.

So is it true or not then ?

Hes only being questioned, and he probably rang the cops anyway, what with his wife and kids in the car. If the windscreen had gone in, he'd have to get a TAXI, ....could have been messy

Its grim oooop North.

Although having a few brilliant touches, its goals wot win games 'and all that. Also remnants of suspect mullet, rank him with Sidwell, and Ben Haim as not worthy to wear the shirt.

They're both misfits, not just because they're out of they're depth, but Sidwells a ginger cunt and Ben Haim insists on wearing 'seventies style' tight shorts like some perv.

6 or 7 years a bit optimistic, but he should be around for a while. If hes going to fuck off to Spain or whatever, probably be sooner than later and this Summer. Bolton asking the 'Chelsea price' for Anelka is no surprise. I hope this new Serbian isn't a liability ala Boulahrouz with regard to giving away free kicks, penalties. Looks like he takes no prisoners.

Rafa moaning about 'its clubs that spend the money that win the titles' Players not signed by Cardinal Ximnez: Finnan, Carragher, Gerrard, Riise, Kewell Players signed by Cardinal Ximinez: Reina, Arbeloa, Aurélio, Alonso, Mascherano, Crouch, Pennant, Kuyt, Benayoun, Torres, Itandje All 'final pieces of the jigsaw'.

Not sure he is worthy of any credit for the results tbh. As far as I can see, he is an all ears and shifty eyed MP3 player between the stereo speakers of Clarke and Ten Coats. He pulled the wool over Abramovichs eyes, and the results, - win, lose or draw are despite him in my opinion. His input is negligible at best and highlty irrelevant to performance. What he has done, is create a void, -a vacuum that should be filled witha competent experienced coach.

Thaksin Sinatra, or whatever the Thai crook is called, has promised Sven another wad to wave. Viva La Rafalution

Having to backtrack on their 'super stadium', and having to face the reality of never to win the league, you'd think some of their fans would turn on Rafa. Those who protested at Gillets and Hicks talk of removing him , you'd think they'd change their minds. But no, all is ok in Deludedpool.

Funny to think along with Fulham, they used to be serious rivals. In the Rodney Marsh, Stan Bowles era, often seen as slightly shading us. They also beat us 6-0 in dark days of 1986. Can only see this going one way now, after we have our usual slow start to the match, of course.

Too right, not exactly shy in the tackle, and looks like he enjoys going forward as well

''Whos the big headed clown wearing a mask ?'' enquired the mascot.

More stuff about Sunderland wanting him -but only on a loan basis. It'd become permanent methinks, and we can do better. Ben haim, Sidwell and Pizzaro -Poor to average signings just because they were free ? Stupid, when Abramovich has fouteen thousand million squid. From -Vital Football Premiership strugglers Sunderland have expressed an interest in taking Chelsea's Steve Sidwell on loan. The former Reading midfielder has very much been a peripheral figure at Stamford Bridge since joining in the summer, although he did start yesterday's game against Fulham. Black Cats boss Roy Keane is desperate to add experienced players to bolster Sunderland's midfield for the battle against relegation, but Chelsea are reluctant to let Sidwell go because of the African Cup of Nations, which will rule fellow Blues midfielders Obi and Essien out of action.
