If you spend 50m and don't bring home the league title at the first attempt then you're a disaster. Let's ignore Brendan Rodgers having a 50m net spend in his first season with Liverpool then finishing 7th place in the league, out of both cups in the 4th round, and out of the Europa League in the round of 32. Chelsea's 50m is different and should have brought them silverware. Anything less is total failure. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Liverpool were not a CL level club when Rodgers took over nor did they win the CL 2 years ago. Exactly, completely different starting points. Not champions league quality but they were coming off the back of a couple of season where they'd invested 160m. The fact that they were still shit despite spending all that money was just a delightful aside. Regardless, the point remains that Rodgers spent 50m and managed drag Liverpool from a lowly 8th to a lofty 7th place the following season. No one is going to argue that's a great return on investment. However, given time to put his team together Liverpool are now doing great. Mourinho will get the time too and it's next season he should be judged. Rodgers is evidence of that.

And the people wielding them would be idiots.

They have, though. Last season they finished 3rd and won the Europa League with a manager none of their cuntish fans wanted. I don't think he's done an awful job, just a poor one, fwiw. Wait a minute. You think going to semi finals in Champions League is an achievement worse than winning the Europa League? Or it is a wind up? Ronaldo was claiming that during Mourinhos first season with Madrid as well. Apparently finishing runner up in the La Liga, winning the Copa Del Rey and losing in the Champions League semi finals was a step backwards from finishing runner up in the La Liga, getting knocked out 4-1 by a 3rd division team in the Copa Del Rey and getting knocked out in the Round of 16 by Lyon in the Champions League. Well, no, none of that's remotely true, but I'll play along. I think all I ever said after Mourinho's first, underwhelming, season at Real is that they were far more watchable, and accumulated more points in the league with Pellegrini and the swap was a daft decision. It was, by the way. Anyway, Real have the best of the best managing them now while Mourinho's finishing 3rd with Chelsea and bitching about referees hurting them by audaciously giving penalties to the opposition. Things are as they should be. I am suprised you don't like Mourinho Ronaldo. Seems like he is cut from the same pompous cloth you are. In fact, I can't envision anyone on the planet that matches Mourinho's bloated self-importance and warped sense of reality as well as yourself. I think what angers Ronaldo is that Mourinho gets lauded for it while people just call him out on it. Because Mourinho has other things he contributes.

It happens when you know what you're talking about. You should try it.

I said before the game that the fitness of Chelsea's returning players could prove decisive. I forgot about Eto'o being injured, but him, Hazard, and Terry were all involved in the goals they gave up. Ba should have been on the pitch from the start, too. Bad team selection, in my opinion.

nah Yeah, first season back, Champions' League semi-final and still in the title race with a few games to go. Fucking disaster, like. Not won anything or looked like winning anything with one of the most expensive squads in the world. See Rodgers' first season at Liverpool.

Atletico have done well here. Not so much in the goals, they were equally as much Chelsea being sloppy, but more with the way they've cancelled out Chelsea. With the exception of set pieces Chelsea have looked pretty toothless. Atletico have been cutting out passes and blocking shots left and right - that wasn't heroics, they did their scouting well. They knew where Chelsea were going to put the ball before Chelsea did. They did well. Deserve their win.

Eto'o comes on and immediately gives away a penalty. Two goals in half an hour isn't impossible but not looking good for Chelsea now.

Second striker on the pitch for the Chelsea.

Whaaat? This is why. As long as they are not 2 goals in the lead, they're just one goal away from OUT. Yup. There was no fucking way Chelsea were just calling it at day at 1-0. Moot point now anyway.

That goal doesn't change the game at all. Chelsea still need another.

When Chelsea are in possession Atletico are getting 10 players behind the ball. So negative. Anti-football cunts.

Looking forward to Chelsea - Altletico. It's going to be a close one. If Terry and Hazard play then their respective levels of fitness might be the deciding factor. I'm not sure that half fit they offer anything over the backup.

Didn't look all that great today, like.

It was great to finally see someone take care of Robben. HE CUTS INSIDE EVERY TIME. IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO DEFEND AGAINST. Sure enough every time he cut inside over the two legs there was someone there to meet him and disposes him. Can't believe it took this long.

Bayern didn't really show up. Robben was in Coentrão's pocket again, Ribery was a little better but still no threat. Real picked up two easy goals from set-pieces. Bayern got pissy and petulant. Real scored two more... Ronaldo on a break in the first half then another from a free kick near the end. Bayern were never in it. Thoroughly deserved the result.

Or spanked like Guardiola in a semi.

Take cover.

Fucking Pepe

Why? Commentator said so.

At least it wasn't 4-0.

People aren't necessarily racist. Actions are racist. He behaved in a racist way, and instead of being apologetic, professional, or contrite in any way both he and the club made dicks of themselves. Fuck 'em.
