Ok what a night!
First - lets not slag off the players shall we - Ramires gave everything and I voted him MOTM - he was often the only out ball and if the ref would have booked there players he would have been more effective and it was his smart thinking that won the corner, Ramires is rarely credited with smart decisions - so this time I give him max credit
Second - Torres had a much better second half, well played
Finally - yes he's a FSW - but fair play Benitez, I will never love you like Hoddle, Ruud, Vialli, Tinkerman, Mourinho or Ancelotti - but you have my respect for delivering a Top 4 and a European Trophy, with a depleted side and 68 game season. Good luck in your next job, except against Chelsea
That's it - lost my voice in Czech and have to do a company presentation tomorrow

We know what we are!
Lovely to read arse/spuds forums complaining that the champions of europe chant will go on next season.

The look on Platini's face was like "Not these bunch again".
Fuck off you cunt.

Guardiola represented a new type of football as this club, but he's not available. The interesting thing is that Barca were destroyed by a Bayern team who play a similar style of football to Chelsea c.2006. That doesn't mean tika-taka is dead but it isn't the only way. I'd have loved him to come but he's off the table.
That leaves only Klopp and Mourinho as real top-class coaches at this moment in time who are at the right point in their careers to take us on long-term. Part of what I like about Klopp is his character, and that's why I don't think he'll leave right now. That leaves Jose. I agree that people aren't talking about the reality of Mourinho as coach too much and a lot of it is tied up in nostalgia, but I personally think that's what exciting about his appointment isn't what's old but what's new.
He's seen the world, won everything in Italy and had his Spanish experience. He's been humbled somewhat and maybe he's learning to appreciate different things in life, which is why coming home might make perfect sense. Roman too has had his fingers burnt and seen that the grass isn't always greener. Maybe I've overly sentimental but this seems like the perfect marriage for these two men, and we could all benefit.
Yes I have reservations about his appointment, but I'll be excited to see what he does everyday. At the end of the day, in a rather silly game of kicking a ball around isn't that the most important thing?

No no no. Roman obviously wants another big expensive 50m toy to play with.....
I do really hope his 4 goals yesterday would have caught Roman's or the board's attention, if it hasn't already!
