He said that a draw would've been a fair result against Villa. He said that neither side deserved to win or lose against United.

Chelsea played against Bayern Munich for the entire extra time with a man down. They lead for almost all of extra time. Bayern equalised with virtually the last kick after the ball broke kindly for them in the box. Seriously, Mourinho is supposed to congratulate Bayern on their deserved victory???

UEFA constantly screw Chelsea. Can't comment about Mourinho because when he's not managed us I haven't looked too closely.

I've got no problem with the second yellow card for Ramires because it was an ugly challenge and he asked for it. But there were MANY similarly poor tackles from Bayern players which the ref let go. How Ribery managed to commit so many fouls after being booked early on only the referee can answer. And not only was Ribery constantly fouling, he also threw himself down theatrically to try and win pens. Universal condemnation for Ashley Cole on Monday turns into blind ignorance on Friday when Ribery does it twice.

Mourinho has more charisma in one of his greying hair follicles than any other manager in the league put together.

What you wrote above is also wrong. Mourinho call it as it is, when he knocked united out last year he stated they were the better team. He stated upon returning to england he liked it because he was so well liked in england. For someone who claims they know everything mourinho says, you don't have much idea about what he says do you?

Your avatar is apt.

Can't wait to see what will happen with Baines and Fellaini. If they are going this window, Everton should be doing what Spurs have done and replace them BEFORE they let him go.

I have a terrible feeling Old Bill has told United they can have them on Tuesday, leaving Martinez no opportunity to spend any of it. That could well turn the 12th/13th/14th finish we're headed for into a relegation battle.

TBH it'd be funny if there was a hitch with Bale Madrid and he had to stay at Spurs, and Kenwright did inform Martinez on Tuesday that Baines and Fellaini had been sold just before the window closed.

The reason that Spurs have signed replacements for Bale while Everton haven't is that Madrid are massively over-paying for Bale. That's given Spurs a huge fund on top of their existing budget so they've been able to go on a spree and buy a lot of players. Man United are pretty much trying to get Baines and Fellaini on the cheap.

The best young LB prospect is Shaw at Southampton. So and easy solution is Shaw > Everton = Baines > Man Utd. But the problem with that is that Soton would want more money for Shaw than United are offering for Baines. Bertrand is said to be a possible, with a 7m figure being touted. But that leaves us without LB cover and is a big risk for you considering how much goes through Baines.

For me I just can't see Everton selling both players unless United stop being so cheap. They are the ones who are hampering the moves because they want a bargain.

If Kenwright did sell them both and kept the money he'd deserve his club getting relegated. If I was Martinez and Kenwright pulled off that stunt I'd walk.

A season long loan of Moses to the scousers? Just because Rodgers once worked at Chelsea I still don't understand why we're helping out those *****.

Benayoun, Torres, Sturridge. Every one of these was a dreadful piece of business from Chelsea.

The only positive from a CFC perspective was them taking on Joe Cole at his most worthless. But even that was them taking him on a free transfer after we didn't want him any more.

Oh i don't doubt his charisma, perhaps he just annoys me too much

And yes, it's just you

Regarding todays game, i've got a horrible feeling we're gonna get smashed

LOL at arsenal fans celebrating like they've won the CL.

They have their precious victory over tottenham, but it means nothing.

They still have the same vulnerabilities, if wenger get's the cash out they'll sign the wrong type of players, they'll still win nothing, and they'll finish no higher than 4th.

Tottenham have alot of new faces and over the coming months i expect them to gradually assert their authority over arsenal in the table.

We get this every year, arsenal play well and get some good results and suddenly all is well. But the same problems will gradually manifest themselves over the course of the season.

Re: Football Chat Thread PART II : Sun Sep 01, 2013 5:42 pm  

But we do get the same Spurs giddiness every year too that this is their year and they always screw it up too.

Same old, same old from Arsenal. Same old, same old from Spurs.
