Rafa please.

 

*rubs hands together*

[Waddy]

Rafa please.

 

*rubs hands together*

 

He is a good manager though, I would be very surprised if he would take the job short term though, think he will want a good contract and he will want less interference from the owner, if thats at all possible.

[Crokey]

Wait a minute, Di Matteo was sacked at Chelsea, I call shenanigans, Chelsea love to hold onto managers for years I can't believe they would sack one so soon after their last manager and we all know he was there for years as well, I hope this doesn't start a trend of sacking mangers so quickly, they've got a good stable reputation for the longevity of their managers to uphold.

f*cking hope Mourinho doesn't return

He better f*cking not do. There will be some serious rage going on if Mourinho goes back to Chelsea.

 

Aaah no worries:

I wasn't sure if it was already confirmed or not.

So far what a sag of bhite.

 

Dear Bobby Man

 

Please revert to a back 4.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Everyone.

Commentator: "Tevez seems to have a pop at everyone these days..." - True that.

 

 

Come on Madrid. Ronaldo to score next and everything will be sweeeeeet.

[Banks.]

Why does Mancini play three at the back? It obviously doesn't work

[4 Bagger]

City are booing Ronaldo louder than cheering their on team on.

 

Was this Rafa Benitez before he got the call from Chelsea?

Well we have to make our own entertainment don't we.

 

Better second half, still sh*te though, I keep harping on about it but either need De Jong back or someone just like him, we really miss that midfield nutter to sort them and us out.

 

Here's to Thursday and Sunday football... unless we cock it up further.

[Vercetti27]

great goal Podolski

 

mexes wasn't bad either though tbf

[The Killa]

Wow, certainly wasn't expecting Dortmund to top their group, unless they have some massive cockup vs. City but that can't be too likely. When did City sign Maicon!?

 

Rafa is a good manager and I think he'll do well at Chelsea, though that doesn't negate the fact they're a laughing stock. As a manager you can't sneeze without fear of being decapitated by Romans massive ego cock.

 

 

The MLS will really miss Beckham's PINPOINT FREE KICKS, ATOMIC BLAST SHOTS and SWERVING CROSS FIELD BALLS.

 

 

It's terrifying how accurate that is though. I've stopped attending so many LA Galaxy matches because they'd end up doing sh*t like playing full-length movie trailers during the match, sound blasting and everything. Hopefully when Beckham goes, the whole corporate wankfest f*cks off along with him. Deary me.

F*cking Jesus, Mexes' goal was f*cking insane.

That's in the same class as Ibra. That guy had a defender breathing down his neck and the keeper was on his line.

[flitcroft101]

yeah but he aint Zlatan so who gives a sh*t

I'd say it was as good, if not better. °

[A J]

What are the odds on Dortmund going on to win this? I don't want to curse them, but surely it's decent odds.

 

Hope in a way Benitez does quite well, and Torres manages to find his feet again.

 

Also hoping Sami Hyppia does Liverpool a favour and puts in a good word for Liverpool to Schurrle, who scored a cracker the other day against Schalke.

[Mr Rabbit]

and the league becomes a 2 horse race between the manchester clubs - again

 

why I say this: rafa's league tactics are, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln "complete twattery"

he is a decent cup manager though, might save them from f*cking up the CL and win them another FA cup - at best

[Der_Don]

Another magnificent performance by Götze. 1 goal, 3 assists. What a legend he already is...

The whole team played well yesterday.

Now please give us Celtic in the next round.

[Domeux]

Well that was disappointing, but a f*cking class game to be at. First half, yeah, sh*te. Their goal was far too easy. Second half we kicked it up a gear and how Aguero missed that chance at the back post I'll never know. I also don't know why Dzeko started ahead of Carlos.

 

Wasn't at all amused at the ref constantly stopping play because one of their lot rolling about on the floor as if they'd be gunned down, but sure...

 

Have to be honest, pleased that tranaldo didn't get a goal, or even play that well. He got sh*t all night, "once a cheat, always a cheat" which slowly turned into "once a c*nt..." etc.

 

So that's us out, don't even wanna get into the Europa to be honest. Anyways, hope Madrid or Dortmund go on to win it.

 

I think the sacking Di Matteo has come at a welcome time for City, hopefully it has sucked any good morale out of that team for sunday.

Ajax have an amazing record against German teams at the AA, 15 wins and one draw before last night, done really well to 'play them off their park' What's Grosskreutz been like this season? not seen him play much but looking at his stats his not scored or assisted and he's usually better than that.

 

Now the little stuff is out of the way the main events starts this evening where we get to play with some Young Boys again.

 

Seems yet again another fan has been stabbed in Rome, with those ultra's around it really does not seem worth it to travel to Italy for football.

Man that's probably one of the teams you don't want to meet. They will park the bus and probably score a flukey goal from a set piece Chelsea style.

Some sources say he's off to Liverpool next summer. He's been average so far this season. A little bit out of form.

 

@flitcroft: Yeah it would be difficult against Celtic. But the atmosphere in both games would be mindblowing. 60 000 - 70000 people (including the Celtic supporters) singing YNWA

[Crokey]

...or they'll get that new manager smell

 

Can't really predict this one accurately to be honest.

[JoeyLeone25]

Clattenburg has been cleared by The FA. Mikel and Ramires should now have the book thrown at them. However they can't get more than a four game ban because that would contradict Terry's sentence for being a racist prick. Also Chelsea should be given a firm kick up the arse for their part in this joke. Ron Gourlay is nothing short of an overpaid fool.

[4 Bagger]

Well, it's time up for Mark Hughes. He's been sacked by QPR - not the right decision imo.

I thought it would still be dragged out over months and years, with police investigations, investigation by Sherlock Holmes the bloke in my signature and the UN.

still could terry was cleared and then found guilty.

 

I knew they were not being 100% truthful, the way the story came out pretty much made it obvious

Considering he's cost them £5.5m per point and has managed to do far less than Warnock with a lot more money, it's no surprise he's gone.

 

A friend of mine who's been a devout QPR supporter for years and works at their Imperial training ground has been calling for him to go since the start of the season.

Yeah I suppose. I rated him as a manager but he seems to have made a balls of things slightly. I suppose QPR had no other choice - it was either risk it with him and risk getting relegated, or trying something different. I'll go for Redknapp to be next manager.

 

Also:

 

This statue looks nothing like SAF. Still good to see a statue of him outside Old Trafford, well deserved.

The statue... not the most flattering stance or clothing but it's the thought that counts

 

(But can we shoot the guy what did it please?)
