I have a major crush on Turan.

This does not disprove a single thing he said.

Sure it does. Did Mou need to buy a bunch of overpriced players to win the CL win Porto?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I don't think our tactics will work very well in Europe somehow, reckon we'll come third in the group. Tbh, I'd rather finish fourth than third, since we've seen first-hand how beneficial a lack of midweek football can be. It's worth sacrificing that energy level for the CL, but the Europa League just has that lingering aroma of 'second-rate'

And yes, I know that we're not eactly in a position to turn our noses up at the EL just yet.

 

[Sane_Man]

Honestly, Chelsea can just fuck right off. I'm so happy they're almost certainly not going to win the Premiership this season. They're just awful and it would have been a travesty if they'd beat out us or City.

 

[FootballFan]

That's his 6th

and he's off.

Take it you missed the Albo Panchina d'Oro.

Athletico taking a page out of the book of the Moyes's with dem crosses

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

the manner in which he delivers results. his clubs have 0 style, he spends loads of money just to have those expensive skillfull players park the bus in big games and leaves a trail of chaos after he leaves the club. short-term manager, quick fixes, doesnt deserve the praise he gets.

Please, just stop saying nonsense.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Mou's gambling. He wants 0-0 here and want to win it over at the bridge, but Atletico is going to have the goal advantage if they score over there, which they will if Chelsea bothers to attack then.

And attacking here, possible ending up with a result like against psg isn't gambling? It's all about balance and with Hazard and Eto'o missing i think this is the right gamble.

stats dont mean nothing. what he done with porto was admirable, give him 100% credit. chelsea, spends loads of money at a time and camps his pen box = not impressive.
inter milan = italian defence, done same thing again.
at madrid he flopped and got booed out of the country = deserved

 

[Steverulez]

This does not disprove a single thing he said.

Of course it does, he said he doesnt deserve the praise he gets, hes won all that of course he deserves it.

the manner in which he delivers results. his clubs have 0 style, he spends loads of money just to have those expensive skillfull players park the bus in big games and leaves a trail of chaos after he leaves the club. short-term manager, quick fixes, doesnt deserve the praise he gets.

Also, trail of chaos? Not his fault we appointed Avram Grant until the end of the season, then Scolari, then Hiddink then Carlo (<3)

Not his fault Inter hired Benitez and Carlo seems to be doing alright.

 

[Zabojnik]

i doozed off watching this match. is it Thursday yet?

Yurt, Zabo, pls. our match will be 50 times better than this.

I certainly hope so, since it would mean we've shown up.

 

[pappe]

Mou looks bored. He wants the United job now.

Please, just stop saying nonsense.

Fantastic goal vs Ajax. Who play in the same league where Bas Dost got like 30 goals lol.

 

[wedward]

Sure it does. Did Mou need to buy a bunch of overpriced players to win the CL win Porto?

He inherited a strong squad.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Thank God it's Real - Bayern toworrow so we don't have to witness this shit.

It's like they're trying to put their opponents to sleep.

You think Pep will let tomorrow's match be exciting?

0-0, Bayern with 70% possession and 2 shots on goal

 

[Salvadora]

Wish Mourinho would stick on a suit.

Hate seeing a manager in trackies.

 

[faridmon]

Diego looked sooo disappointed when he went off. Its not like he did that good!

Anyone can look good on Youtube, m8.

 

[wedward]

lol. O, you are serious.

 

[bjaelke]

Mou looks bored. He wants the United job now.

Why haven't they called yet?

 

[José Mourinho]

Defensively we're sweet but good lord we are woeful on the ball during the short periods we have it.

 

[dark_prinny]

One of the worst semifinals on CL history.

 

[Abraxas]

Why haven't they called yet?

Please respond

 

[Arnie]

Lampard not available means Lampard probably plays on Sunday.

Which is good.

 

[Steverulez]

Defensively we're sweet but good lord we are woeful on the ball during the short periods we have it.

Ramires off for Schurrle would be a good move

 

[kmax]

And attacking here, possible ending up with a result like against psg isn't gambling? It's all about balance and with Hazard and Eto'o missing i think this is the right gamble.

Well at least with a goal, they'd have leverage come the second leg. Atletico will score next match, so they better win it then.

 

[Splatt]

 

[GQman2121]

Fucccccccccck....

We'll that means Lampard starts on Sunday.

 

[Messi]

One of the worst semifinals on CL history.

Well they did deliver one of the best quarter finals ever....

 

[dark_prinny]

Please respond

His reply ratio doesn´t look too good.

 

[Abraxas]

His reply ratio doesn´t look too good.

Denko-san pls.

 

[dark_prinny]

VAMOOOS ATLEEEEETIIIIIIII!!!!!

 

[Zabojnik]

Atletico sure like crossing.

 

[The Atticus]

I'm enjoying this, to be honest!

 

[Walshy]

Mikel has been very good tonight for Chelsea.

 

[Steverulez]

Wtf does Mikel have on his head. He has improved though admittedly

 

[faridmon]

I wish Madrid stopped crossing and just play direct football!

 

[rodvik]

Atletico sure like crossing.

Just thinking the same thing. Somehow they have morphed into a Martin O Neill team this week.

 

[Sane_Man]

I'm enjoying this, to be honest!

Are you having a wank at the same time or something?

 

[Meier]

Thank goodness this is during the week when most Americans can't watch it. This is the kind of gams that ruins the sport's rep here.

 

[Arnie]

I'm enjoying this, to be honest!

Same. It's a fascinating contest.

And I've got some chicken dippers & Corona

 

[thehypocrite]

Crossing? Is it moyesus?

 

[rossonero]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx2ALyBwDt0

Never forget.

Holy shit, that is a hole :O

 

[Sviatoslav]

He inherited a strong squad.

How convenient for you. The team that finished behind footballing giants Boavista the season prior to Mourinho taking over was surely primed for CL domination. All Mou had to do was show up.

 

[Ushojax]

Atletico's crossing has been so shit, not one decent ball.

 

[Carbonox]

John Terry reacting like someone's fucked his wife.

 

[Herr K]

What a shit game.

 

[Oersted]

Thank goodness this is during the week when most Americans can't watch it. This is the kind of gams that ruins the sport's rep here.

The day they discover Chelsea...
