Tooj Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm sure we tried to get Essien when SBR was manager when he was at Bastia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Imagine we'd got Essien from Bastia, and then Torres in 2005 had Owen turned us down? We'd have no doubt f*cked up their careers, Owen would have had 50+ goals for England and been back at Liverpool, and Essien would be at someone like Stoke.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 To think that instead of Carrick we got Butt and instead of Torres we got Owen. Fucks sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 To think that instead of Carrick we got Butt and instead of Torres we got Owen. f***s sake. On the flipside though, we did get Robert & Bellamy instead of Zenden & Jeffers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I just want to say, for no real reason, that as a player, I fucking love Michael Essien. Born to play football. I love Essien, everything about him is just class. Scolari would still have been manager of Chelsea had he not been injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Just saw Marquez getting deliberately booked for time-wasting, so he will only miss the 2nd leg, rather than a more important match. Crafty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 How good is Iniesta? I saw him play as a 16 year old at Durham and he was the best player in the Spain squad(which included Fernando Torres). My favourite Barca player Iniesta is so underrated on these shores, it's unbelievable. So was Xavi until Euro 2008. At the same time it's refreshing to see 2 players who are so good, yet so modest. They don't care about getting media attention, they'd rather just get on with their game. Very similar to the way Paul Scholes has been over here.

Teasy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'd have preferred Liverpool to win. Partly because I hate Chelsea even more then Liverpool. But also because I think it would help our chances against them if they were still in the Champions League, especially if they were out of the Premiership race by then.

Teasy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 We have zero chance if they're out of the Champions League yes.. If they were out of the Premiership title race and still in the Champions League we'd have a chance. Their Champions League game would be only a couple of days after our game and I wouldn't put it past Benitez to drop basically the entire first team in that situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
