I'd love to see him play with Drogba.

Just as long as it not Man Citeh.

Just watched the highlights to the FA Cup final. I wouldn't mind some new faces on Chelsea next season. I wonder who they're gonna buy over the summer? There's talk of Torres, he'd look good in blue...

I managed to get free tickets to that and the amount of times Chelsea hit the bar in the first half was almost a joke. The two penalty's were really bad aswell but it was a good match overall I thought.

When I go to curl a ball, the wrist of the arm opposite to the leg I'm kicking with does this gay limp thing.

I need to stop that shit. $:-\$

Barcelona spendin that money.

David Villa + Cesc Fabregas.

Stephen. · « **Reply #755 on:** May 19, 2010, 03:26:37 PM »

They should call themselves The Galacticos Mk. 2

ALT · « **Reply #756 on:** May 19, 2010, 03:38:34 PM »

Damn, if the Fabregas deal goes threw Arsenal really are going to need to buy some top players.

tiger woods · « **Reply #757 on:** May 21, 2010, 07:32:06 AM »

i just can't see cesc leaving the best league in the world for a 2 team race over in spain. villa on the other hand, needed out of valencia badly, wonder how he will fit in the system

Was a good game. Inters defence was just too strong.

So its Mourinho to Real Madrid next.

Is this true? Guess I'll just have to wait and see, but this is a combination that sounds very good even though I'm not a Real fan.

As much as "tactical discipline" can be impressive in a match, that game today wasn't worthy of a CL final. Maybe Van Gaal will stay for a while now though...

Here is how i think about it. Jose is only 47 years old and look how much he has accomplished. He has always wanted to coach at Madrid, i see him busting out the dynasty in prolific style there rivaling the likes of fergie at manchester.

Mooley · « **Reply #764 on:** May 22, 2010, 10:47:27 PM »

He has some quote on one of the Spanish papers' stories about how he wants to win the Champion's League three times with three different teams. Dude could do it.

Smell Good · « **Reply #765 on:** May 22, 2010, 11:01:31 PM »

Hell yeah. The Special One has that ability to bring home bags of silverware.

I would love to see how he utilizes the resources and money at Madrid.

Word. It looked like a group stage match.

Mourinho could make the Madrid team properly amazing. This is pretty interesting.

And as for last nights game, yeah it wasn't the most exciting of games. The commentators kept saying how it wasn't Barca/Arsenals type of football. But Jose got the job done.

I agree that it wasn't the most exciting matches, but when your club/country hasn't taken home a Champions League title in almost 50 years (and the first Italian club to get a Treble), you're not gonna want to blow it by taking risks and being flashy.

Mourinho is one bold ass dude to go after Steven Gerrard like that.

ALT · « **Reply #769 on:** May 23, 2010, 09:04:29 AM »

Yeah, you cant hate Mourinho, he got it done.

There was news before that he wanted Gerrard at Inter. I cant see him leaving Liverpool, but I think it would be an amazing opportunity for him.

I'll be gutted if Stevie leaves Liverpool.

Stephen. · « **Reply #771 on:** May 23, 2010, 03:19:35 PM »

He won't leave Liverpool because the scouse think he's still worth £40mil+ when really he's only worth about £25mil and that's all any sane manager would pay for him.

I took this photo in the Champions League museum in Retiro park this weekend. Being a United fan, I found it amusing:

He should go, Liverpool are doing nothing, Torres and Stevie G aside there a mediocre team. I think Torres and Gerrard both deserve to play for better teams and to win something.

Stephen. · « **Reply #774 on:** May 26, 2010, 03:19:43 PM »

As do I but if Liverpool don't get the money they want then they I wouldn't have thought that they'd sell them, I'm not sure how long each have left on their contracts so that could come into it.

Saw a couple of legends play at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday:

So it seems to be out in the open that Rafa's gone, most likely to Inter. And Gerrard to Madrid is all over the place as being close to a sealed deal. This is going to be some hole for Liverpool to dig themselves out of.
