Yeah, that cartoon is exactly like what happened :lol :lolSolid said:Looks like UEFA will punish Mourinho again.. haha what a couple turds! Jesus, get a life. The ball wasn't even in, of course he's gonna be upset.
Look at Gallas's standing foot:
his foot is practically on the line, as is carvalho's right foot
So move Gallas's left foot in the cartoon to where it should be, and therefore move everything else as well.. where does the ball end up? Just over the line.
It took Hiddink like 3 years to get them at this level (the Koreans)
Last 2 seasons were horrible. Park much more than Lee. Someway or another this season they blossomed into something beautiful. I don't think they'd "survive" in another country with another team. First of all, the language is a HUGE barrier (they still can't speak Dutch nor English) -- secondly, the only reason they came to PSV was because someone familiar and someone who they could trust was there, their former national team coach, Hiddink

Looks like Mourinho will sign at least three new players in the summer. Can it be the higly rumoured trio? Ashley Cole, Gerard and Adriano? One can only hope!

Well. It's been like this all season. Chelsea plays 4-3-3. And Makelele and Lampard is given on the midfield. Tiago, Smertin, Jarosik and Parker have all tried to play there but failed. Maybe José wants someone with the same qualtiy as the other two on the midfield.
Ashley Cole should be great since we only have one real left back. I don't think Gallas should play there, he should play in the middle together with John Terry. Read this article and you'll agree with me
And finally Adriano.. Hhaa, I think this deal is a little over the top. I don't Inter will let him go... unless Roman is willing to pay whatever it takes. I'd love to see him in the Premiership. He has the balance and body to play there so it should work. Kezman will prolly head over back to PSV so one striker in and another one out.
I still wonder if Geremi, Forssell, Cudicini and Smertin will stay though. They haven't played much (especially Cudicini and Geremi).

Dear Chelsea fans,
So long strutting around like you're ten men each in my local:
Fuck you and your fuck-all bought team that, when you think about it, means nothing you.
Enjoy the most dishonourable league win in history. Anyone in any pub over the weekend will agree that you've never seen a more plastic, false and generally laughable 'victory' in any football arena ever. It was painful for any real fan to watch. You embarrassed yourselves, a parody in it's truest form.
You might have the best team on paper but you know, it could have been any team up for sale at that time.
Pathetic.
But at least you're all well 'ard though... So that's okay.
And bummed by a bunch of car thieves too.
Cocks.

Why does everyone forget that Ranieri had all the money last season and didnt win a thing?
He even had a striker capable of finishing once in a while (Mutu) unlike Mourinho.
I loved Ranieri though, seemed like a really nice guy, i remember when some fans were chanting "You're getting sacked in the summer" and she got out of the dugout and shouted "No!, MAY..I'm getting sacked in MAY" :lol

Every1 I know love the Tinker Man
Anyone doubting Mourinho's managerial skills just has to look at his previous season with Porto. He is a class manager, that created wonders with a tiny % of the money he had in his first season at Chelsea.
He is very arrogant, which sometimes comes back and hits him in the face like the 2nd leg of the Liverpool game.
This is from an Arsenal fan.

Yeah, Mourinho is a capable man.
But even so he's one scared little pussy. He won with Porto with defensive play. In big games with Chelsea > 10 man in the box and a lone striker swarming at midfield.
I know for certain that teams like PSV and AZ have WAY less money than he had to work with when at Porto, yet they still manage to actually entertain the people. (see the semi-finals, both getting ejected with lucky goals in injury time)
His arrogance and incapability to admit he'd done something wrong is what annoys me the most. His comments after the games just take the blood from under my nails. "The best team lost!" No bitch, that was Barça a couple of weeks ago, that was PSV the day after. Not you who never actually tried to control the game in a positive way, or actively participated in order to get the scoreline to favour you.
UEFA is probably going to punish him again for saying the linesman had scored the goal. I wonder if they can get it through his skull this time...

"Whenever I need to buy the title, I use Roman's American Express card. I tried to buy the Champion's League with Mastercard, but it was declined. Fuck Mastercard!"

Le Guen quits Lyon
Olympique Lyon coach Paul Le Guen announced on Monday that he was stepping down, one day after leading the club to a fourth domestic Ligue 1 title in a row. "I have decided not to extend my contract with Olympique Lyon," said Le Guen, whose deal was due to end on June 30.
The 41-year-old Le Guen joined Lyon in 2002 after the club had claimed the first title in their history.
He took over from Jacques Santini, who was appointed as coach of France.
Le Guen, who coached Stade Rennes between 1998 and 2001, led Lyon to three Ligue 1 titles, including the one they clinched on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over AC Ajaccio.
The coach said he had no plans for the immediate future. Media reports have linked him with his former club Paris St Germain.
"I don't know what I'm going to do next," said Le Guen. "The only thing I'm certain is that I'm not tired of soccer."
Former Nantes and Real Sociedad coach Raynald Denoueix, Stade Rennes's Lazlo Boloni and Lille's Claude Puel are among the favourites to take over.

Cole isn't going to Chelsea btw. There's too much fallout from the tapping-up nonsense. However, I'm all for selling him and Reyes to Real for Owen + a good deal of cash for a top-class centre back, 'keeper and a winger.

This image pretty much puts it all to rest
With one foot on the line and the other well behind it, anything between Gallas' feet is OVER the line and IN the goal.
Good luck to Liverpool for potentially their 5th European Cup and becoming the 3rd best team in Europe of all time

Claudio Reyna will not play in the World Cup qualifiers and the friendly against England in Chicago this summer. He did look awful against Mexico but there will be quite a void in the midfield without him there. I say give Clint Dempsey a chance there and give LD more on the ball responsibilities previously held by Reyna.

Why not? He's looked pretty good for Man City recentlyGuileless said:
As for the chelsea game, man united are looking a bit creaky these days aren't they? I don't know what that says about us in the league....
but we've got something bigger than 3rd place and an FA cup final to look forward to in 2 weeks
Uhh, Chelsea's B squad? Hardly. You had Gudjohnson, Lampard, Makelele, Joe Cole, and Gallas all on the pitch. That's still pretty damn good. No Duff, Terry, Robben, or Drogba (overrated and lazy), but still pretty damn good.
Let's go Gunners. I really hope Henry and Ljungberg will be fit for the FA Cup final.
