Football

wonder if Chelsea will try for Klopp of Dortmund, I'd really love to see them drag Bielsa out of the car crash that he's created out of Athletic, or try another left field appointment. I know they won't but would taking the interim out of Benitez's title assure Abramovich of the fantasy football he craves..

Mourinho's coming home, he's coming home, Mourinho's coming home....

Portugal Manager?

Go back to watching camel racing.

I have watched that. It's hilarious.

You'll still have TFSW next season. And I strongly suspect TFAM will sign a new deal and remain with you too.

Sandro just had knee surgery, not happy. He and Dembele were forming a really good strong partnership in the center of the park. Good thing Parker is back, though still getting his match fitness back. May mean we don't let Livermore go to 'Arry at QPR, though if M'vila is going there why would they need Livermore anyway..

Nathan Tyson is off to Millwall for the rest of the season.

Bye, Forest reject, we never really liked you anyway.

Wrong Joe, innit?

Arsenal's shirts are almost as bad as their fans.

We didn't like him much either, except for this.

"yes this is what I was aiming for!"

The Rafa revolution continues, 2-2 at home to Soton after being 2 up. Decides to take off Lampard and replace him with Torres....

Spunked their game in hand

And now Benitez blames poor Chelsea performances on the supporters. That will really help win them over won't it.

What a total incompetent.

Well in Southampton

unable to beat the lower teams
bet they'll whip arsenal 5-0 at the weekend

#rafastays#... for the next three years

There is no way we will beat Arsenal let alone thrash them. I would be delighted with a draw. We only managed to beat them 1-2 at their place in September. It wasn't an easy game and this won't be either.

unable to beat the lower teams

As we are currently third in the league and as he has already failed to beat Man City, that does not promise much.

I have been going to Stamford Bridge for 49 years and have never felt so uninspired by the occasion as I do now. Even in the bad days, we had some hope. Even in those days you got the feeling that the manager wanted to win. Benitez really doesn't appear to care. The only part he seems to relish is the opportunity to have another swing at the supporters.

He's probably right though...

The sooner this season's over, the better...

you can take the man out of liverpool but you can't take liverpool out of the man

Why?

Last night (and indeed on preceeding occasions) there was nothing remotely anti Benitez until the final whistle. Supporters were supporting although, it is fair to say, the support was a little as though the entire ground had had the stuffing knocked out of it by the arrogant scouse twerp.

As he well should. You have to admit though, from his point of view that must be a real bonus.

no pressure on guardiola then...
