Term-X

The great managers in football taught the like minded hungry players how to win, why else do you think jose' left Chelsea so soon after Sheva & Ballack came in. They are the figure heads for fans worldwide, they sell shirts and stay big names even when their form dips. During the back to back winners period Jose' never signed 'Pepsi' names, by that I mean global anti-form players. Drogba was a big signing but by no means did he have his face on walls worldwide. This is why I believe Jose' will resist man-utd when he returns to the premier league because these players have absorbed fergie's wisdom for too long. When you are taught to win for that many years with the same manager another philosophy will be wasted on established players. Jose' would have to get rid of the celebrated players such as Giggs, Scholes and Neville. just like he did at Chelsea by getting rid of Desailly, Hasselbaink and neglecting Carlo Cudicini. Ancelotti does things differently and has a completely contrasting approach but he holds the winning formula. Player power simply cannot exist in a big club environment because their becomes too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Jose' demands instant results and exploits every possibly way he can influence a game such as using his mind games both before and after the final whistle. Carlo portrays a calm and patient persona whilst the likes of Roman and Ron Gourlay are demanding the world and everything in it. He is communicating with the players and leading them efficiently, he knows how to handle indvidual characters such as Drogba who need to be centre of attention. He knows Didier is too far gone to change and instead molds his mind elsewhere. One philosophy has to reign supreme, his social skills with the players hypnotizes them into accepting his formula and philosophy's. When Jose' left he labeled his star chelsea players as 'his', Jose' may have turned them into winners but Carlo knew after grant and scolari the players had the hunger to win again. The more than special one's history of achievements at ac milan will have initially won them over. Indirectly Ancelotti more or less openly admitted to the corruption in italian football and suggested towards the reason why he had only won the league once. The powers that be had been arraigning referees for juventus, despite this Ancelotti believed in his own ability and led the milanese to champions league glory once again. As long as Roman maintains his working relationship with Carlo, maybe even let him 'do a Scolari' and demand a player, I think john terry's army will get another chance to make history in Europe (luck permitting).

took a few minutes to type my own thoughts, and a few seconds to find the previously viewed articles and relevant youtube vid. terrible comeback from bluelion, if he thought that was the least bit humorous.

education system is much better in holland, if you ask someone if they speak english as a tourist in amsterdam for example they will take it as a mild insult. Praatjes vullen geen gaatjes.

r.i.p liverpool won't be seeing them in the top 4 for a very long time.

Kakuta needs to be molded into a first team player in all competitions never mind the carling cup, although yes the others such as bruma, borini and co need to be playing in next seasons carling cup and fa cup fixtures. If joe cole does leave i hope carlo resists the temptation to buy anyone because kakuta and stoch are more than capable of asserting themselves.

i lose all sense of humour when i see your posts, are you really that ignorant?

Welcome. the more dutch people the better, we have too many ignorant daily mail readers on here. Prefer The Independent myself - BL.

your ignorance is frightening, i can imagine you have never been (properly) stoned before and have many one dimensional views on weed due to your background and the ignorant company you must keep. alcohol is far worse. http://www.physorg.c...s157280425.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8334774.stm a professor Vs bluelion go become president of the British Association of Psychopharmacology and the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology like proffesort nutt (who is for marijuana to be legal) and come back to me you ignorant, sheltered , poorly educated overgrown sperm.

because i used to design forums and have acquaintances who at the time used to lecture me on the do's and dont's. The bar itself looks completely separate to the forum design and out of place, i also think those members who would never dream of discussing the forum layout would agree with me because it's more of an unconscious view. In fact i probably shouldn't have been so upfront about it, due to the fact that offends people and they will be against such idea's purely to piss me off. it makes the forum look crammed and squeezed into an insufficient space. The colour and width are completely different from the bar at the top of the forum. It almost looks like some sort of firefox tool that people add-on to browsers.

Kakuta is miles ahead of kalou. i guarantee if kakuta had the same playing time as kalou last season he would have made a much bigger impact.

try to comprehend my attitude to such a pointless online presence as yourself, maybe if your juvenile insults consisted of more than 3 words i would contemplate constructing a more entertaining post.

well rio will be hailed as the hero, and of course the iconic image will be rio lifting it as he will be the first player to do so. fuck that, club over country.

You're a peasant.

kakuta is better than joe cole right now. no sub deserves the wages j.cole is demanding, time to move on.

Lmao.

not really, it's time to progress and improve.

it won't be, we kept last seasons goal keeper shirt for the second GK kit last year (the orange one).

Joe Cole > Gael Kakuta

the overall layout is fine. i suggest the dark blue bar at the bottom be removed and that is all, it looks very separate and out of place.

it's not about the majority, because some poeple need to be told what they like which is why tv advertisements work. and kez.. the honest people here would rather me stay over you, considering i type more than 5 or 7 words when i post and actually contribute in discussions with an actual opinion. Unlike your nonsensical ramblings.

i'm very open minded, jim on the other hand seems to shut off any criticism or other peoples ideas just like his above posts clearly shows. Btw that comment was very juvenile and unnecessary, quit trying to suck up or make attempts at being funny.

exactly.

you are very close minded.

lmao at all the people saying good job, jesus you guys would have a heart attack if you saw some of the forums i go on. Once again that dark blue bar at the bottom looks very out of place and needs to be the same width as the bar at the top of the forum. or get rid of it completely and put the facebook icons at the top along with view new posts and those links to the homepage on the left.
