Chelsea done goofed. Lesser Madrid can get more aggregate goals in 2nd leg. Chelsea deserves to lose

What for? He delivered a trophy, getting performances out of Bale, still in all completions. What more do Madrid want? And who else can they target who could do better?
Would this be the third manager to come out and throw the job in your face? In as many days?

The issue with Chelsea isn't that they parked the bus, it's more that the manager has a go at sides that do the same thing to Chelsea.
And then rather than journalists pointing this out they don't bother challenging him, particularly the broadcast media.
This is the same man who never talks about referees, yet lost the plot at the weekend.
If Chelsea want to park the bus that's fine, it just equal parts amuses me and annoys me when Mourinho pretends his shit doesn't stink as bad as everyone else's. And I don't care whether his tactics are to take pressure off the team and put it on himself, none of it makes him any less of a cunt.

May get the sack if Madrid fail to win anything this season. The Guardian say it's either Ancelotti or Van Gaal. Think I'm leaning towards LVG as he has proven himself capable of leaving good foundations for the next manager to build on. But he's also a bit averse to spending money. Ancelotti doesn't have that same problem.

He already won something.
They've already won something, no? They beat Barcelona in the final of the cup.

I don't even want to imagine how they look to mods/Wes.

Can't believe the "no contact has been made with candidates" - "club didn't want to risk being caught going behind Moyes's back" bollocks for a split-second.
ONE OF US
You are right, though. Disgrace how they handled his last moments.
Just mind games, innit.
Ancelotti is the better candidate by a fucking huge distance, but I just don't think he'd leave Real Madrid for a cut-adrift United. Floating in oxygenless uncertainty.

How did the media find out then? A mole in the board?
If you guys get in a good manager and don't rapidly improve do people start calling for Woodward's head next?

Might be. He's still a cunt though.
Florentino can always be Florentino.
He sacked Del Bosque after winning a Champions League.

So? I can live with one trophyless season, there will be significant changes to the squad in the summer, I would expect them to be competing next season.
Having not really fought properly for the PL in years, to get this far (despite the performances of the defeats) and also still be in the CL at this stage is good work when you look at the issues in the squad.
Based on how thin is getting I wouldnt consider it possible to do anything else.
Don't worry, they'll lose both.
yes pls jose lad
It was briefed by the club, most likely.
They just never informed Moyes about their decision. It's either that or they never meant to break the story until today, but the media got their hands on it anyway and ran with it.
I think I still favor van Gaal over Ancelotti, but Ancelotti would certainly be a major improvement over Moyes. I think his stint at Chelsea was mixed. United IMO bottled the end of the 2009-2010 campaign but credit still to Ancelotti winning the double. The following year he wasn't doing so well and it didn't help Abramovich forced signings on him. Wouldn't be shocking to see Real sack him if they fall to Bayern, and United would be a pretty good landing spot for him.
This is what I was trying to say to avocado.webm after the Bayern - United match.
Parking the bus is such a lazy fucking phrase.
If Wooders goes, it'll be Ethan Glazer with a garrotte. No prologue, no chorus, no brass section.
So why would I want Mourinho at Arsenal? If anything, I would want Abromovich.

At this point I'd rather Liverpool win than City. Because Pelegrinni is such a cunt and Liverpool has been magical this year.
Dreading how annoying the fans will be though

What a shit match.
I'm not a fan of playing the second leg at home with 0 - 0... those away goals. Mourinho fucked up.

Never heard of either of them. Micky has a cool last name though. I think we should buy him for that alone.

Why on earth would you want Abramovich.
We've got our own Oligarch gangster at Arsenal already.

You already have a billionaire owner, im sure Jose would deliver much more at Arsenal than Wenger has in recent years.
I dont like the phrase gangster, I prefer to think of Roman as part of the Mafia, sounds classier.
José Mourinho
cocknose
So your problem with Mourinho is that, on occasion, he can be a hypocrite and talk a wee bit of shite. So, sort of like 99% of managers then?
Also, if you want to absorb Mourinho challenging media then go back a few weeks to our Villa, Palace and very recent Sunderland defeat and you can fill your boots. All sorts of chat about how he made the wrong calls and was wrong to critique our strikers. Pick a publication, they nearly all had those articles. Oh, and in regard to being called out about his hypocrisy, he was called out about his West Ham 19th century football comment. In one of our own pressers no less.
I don't actually.
But Abramovich is why Chelsea have been successful, not Mourinho.
If Wenger had been able to spend 200 million over 2 seasons he would have delivered more also. What's your point?

It's hilarious cause it works. Big Sam could brush it off easily too, he knew Mourinho was bullshitting and basically said he didn't give a fuck, which he shouldn't. The press however all started talking about Mou's comments instead of how terrible a performance it was from the team lol, you can say a lot about Mou, but he got the English press by the fucking balls.
By the way for what it's worth, he was out praising Sunderland for their win against Chelsea, saying they won it the way they could and you gotta respect that.
Oh. He rejected us right? Now he wants to have some of that. He can get to fuck.

Haha, I'm the same. I think I even dreamt about it once. That fucking 'last edited' line will follow me to the grave.

Aye. I'd go mental if we didn't have a game this weekend.
