Mourinho to rule the universe!!The man is simply fantastic, extraordinary, smart and badass. We got the last laugh not only with the trophy, but with this final hit. I laughed my arse off
-
link me please! I want to have a few more laughs at their expense

3x1 wins to start and finish the season as champions. Boring my ass. We had problems, but we played some nice football throughout the season - more in the first half than ever since. The second half today we played some fluid attacking football. We're the champions, we're the champions
-
Willian deserved a goal...
-
Remy.... incredible this whole season. Always scoring. We must keep him (read some people speculating his departure - which would make no sense)
-
what a ball by Diego now there to Hazard
-
such as? I agree, but I want to know who those are for you
-
This was amazing. I'm relieved he won't be here next season, but at the same time, is always difficult saying goodbye to the legends.
-
This is how you send off your legend, Liverpool
-
I love how pathetic Liverpool is - can't even send their legends off properly
-
how utterly useless has Mikel been throughout this match?
-
Willian has been mesmerizing. I'm in love
-
love you too. As well as miss you, G

20 goals on his first season, only one from a penalty. Not bad AT ALL and I have to read all kind of shit about him in this forum
-
Diego for the penalty? wtf?
-
I don't get why Hazard had to be played in all matches. Yeah, the kid voiced he wanted it, but he's clearly tired, people may think he's made of steel, but he's only human. It makes no sense to keep overplaying him. He's 24 and healthy now but who knows if those excessive matches won't catch up with him when he's older? That's stupidity from Mourinho imo... He should have been dropped from the team the moment we won against Palace.

I really disliked this season's home shirt, so I don't mind the rumored one because it doesn't get worse than our current imo. Yeah, it's too busy, yeah, less is more, but this year's was so basic with the awful round collar (boring and not pretty) and the strips also badly disposed, I just want to move onto the next thing, whatever that might be. My favorite shirts in recent years continue to be 2010-11 (I absolutely loved the red trim in the collar) and last season's. I like triangular collars and buttons, anything is better than this round shit we've got this year.

I think it's horrible for him and for Chelsea to let him stay there another year. Milan isn't the place to develop or even increase players market value. Get him out of there asap, anywhere is better than Milan.
-
are you frigging kidding me? He was sent off for this?????????

I think it's more about how quickly we closed the gap. we may not be at the same level as them but we certainly got really close in just a decade. what we've accomplished so far is nothing short of brilliant. It's an incredible feat to take such a turn in so few years. We're a marketing book case in the works. So even if we're not on their level yet, Barça, real Madrid and Bayern have been building their brand for a very long time. The fact we're included in the same conversation and make the top five lists such as Delloite's and Forbes' is something unbelievable. I believe that's what makes the haters even more bitter because it's remarkable. We may not be there yet, but it's only a matter of time.

that's what she said oops, wrong context, well, but that's what I said would happen anyway

As I said in the speculation thread, I think he's better than Piazon. I never got the Piazon thing. But we need to take into consideration his age. At 19 we could say he's going to be the next best thing in football or the biggest flop of all. It's hard to say because it could go both ways. He isn't in the Hazard category of players (who is anyway? If players like Hazard were easy to find, they wouldn't be so expensive, they're rare), but he's decent. I rate him somewhere between Oscar and Willian, but as I just said, predicting how he'll develop is going to be hard. In Brazil those kids with some talent are promoted to the first team way too soon because the clubs need to make money and that affects their development - especially tactically - in a negative way. Maybe that's why I'm never in a rush to promote youth and I don't mind Mourinho's approach at all. Here is quite the opposite and I've seen way too many kids cracking with the pressure, wasting their talent, being moved to position that their teams need and that aren't the best for them, not to say they bypass some very important steps of development such as discipline, tactical awareness, time to mature, physical conditioning (many times they're Neymar-Oscar alike because they haven't developed physically yet before being subjected to a lot of burning calories routines instead of working on growing and getting stronger) and many others. All that said, I don't expect him to play for us any time soon - and maybe he'll never do it, but a friend of mine worked at Atletico Paranaense until a few months ago and have seen the kid on a daily basis for years. There have been some brawl between him and the club and he left in bad terms, but despite of that he assured me he's very good, future Brazil NT material because of his level headed way of taking things, his focus as well as his talent (which according to him hasn't been fully exposed yet because some Mosquito guy also from Atletico academy took the spot light and the manager's preference, leaving Nathan as a second fiddle). I totally trust his assessment - especially because we agree about most of our views in football - and I did some research watching some of his matches. Maybe he ends up being the next Piazon as many are implying, I wouldn't bet on it though. Also Nathan (or Natan, or Natã) is a fairly common name in Brazil, it's biblical and it's been a trend here for some time to add 'h' to names. The pronunciation is completely different from English, so like Oscar, people will call him by the English version, but it's a complete different way in Brazil. It's Philippe's (Coutinho) that is uncommon around here as we say Felipe or Filipe (such as Luís). Oscar is also quite normal. Robert (the Kenedy guy prospect who my friends - including a Fluminense supporter tell me is a farce), Wallace among others are the odd ones.
