Gyan lol

Whats the Madrid score?

I thought he had an average game: expected considering it was his first game, with no prior training with his new team

Any game on ESPN cannot be on football first

Joey should have a CM style t-shirt with "best midfielder in the world" on the back

Get him down to London and watch these riots stop in an instant!

Still think Jose will join Liverpool :-(

Who are these tweets from?

Bilbao playin some nice stuff here under Bielsa: got some real canny players (On ITV4)

I was at the match yesterday and Jose defo had a limp

At the ground: Jose does have a limp

Where's Jose?

Who's no:29? Is it Forster? 

On Chelsea's part. It's becoming a joke how the likes of them and City will just throw any amount of money at anyone to bribe them into working (or playing) for them. I mean the money around the Premier League has been a farce for ages but this is just getting daft now.

Agree: money has ruined the game (I would say the same if someone rich took us over): you almost feel cheated when the likes of Chelsea and City enjoy success, as essentially its been bought:

The really silly thing is that if it doesnt work in 1 season they'll just get rid of him and pay him off like £10m

Chelsea have paid Porto £13.3 million in compensation for Villas-Boas!

 

f***ing embarrassing. Disgraceful in fact.

In the context Chelsea have a rich owner etc ala Man City or that teams should never pay that much for a manager/coach?

I think its a sign of the times: many clubs in Europe will now insert these types of clauses (if they haven't done so already)

I never realised he had worked in England or with Sir Bob until reading the papers/internet etc in the last few days: he is very similar to Mourinho in his preparation and man management: seems a lot less volatile in press conferences: speaks perfect English

the age thing is bollocks, if he's top class he'll command respect from any player

 

Exactly. At 19 years old he had an argument with Bobby Robson and the end result was Bobby giving him a job, Jose Mourinho classed him as his 'eyes and ears' when referring to match and opponent preparation. If he can command respect of people like that then footballers will understand he has something from the off. With him being there before he'd have interacted with senior players preparing them for opponents, his knowledge won't be in question by them, he's already been telling them what to do for years.

 

IIRC there was a dossier floating about on us when Jose was manager, it was probably AVB who prepared it.

Aye: it was AVB who prepared it: here's the link

Plus they have Kalou aswell

Watched Emmana a few times when Betis were and was really impressed. Has pace, power, strength and skill. Would walk into our XI

The return of Mourinho? Most likely Villas Boas I think

Excuse my spelling in my post above (typing from my phone)

Soon as Wigan scored a pland flew overhead saying "Avram Grant Milwall legend!"

3-0 Milan - havent a clue who scored, think Ronaldinho may have got his 2nd from a Becks cross (its either foggy or someone has set fire)

Juve have been shocking.....expect Ferrara to be gone by the morning

Any lineups/squads floating around for tonights game of Catalunya v Argentina

 

2-1 to the Catalans at the moment (60 mins)..........  good goals by Bojan and Pastori (Argies)....decent game

 

Some famaliar faces on the Catalan side.....Valdes, Pique, Puyol, Oleguer, Sergio Garcia, Sergio, Bojan, Xavi, Busquets etc

Argies less familiar: Di Maria, Higuin, Demichilis: basically a 3rd choice team

4-2 now to the Catalans (75mins)
