English (and other British lower league) Football Discussion
Back in 2007, Benitez had a pop at Chelsea for giving out plastic flags
before Champions League matches in an attempt to create some atmosphere
at Stamford Bridge:
"We don't need to give away flags for our
fans to wave; our supporters are always there with their hearts, and
that is all we need. It's the passion of the fans that helps to win
matches, not flags."
This is one reason.There is probably others.
Rafa is boss. No question for me. Absolute class act.
Now, about that Courtois lad...... Please can we keep him?
And Rafa stopped your "Special One" getting to a European final... Twice. You probably wouldn't have lasted the season playing the way you were before Rafa came in and started rotating.

He's back! It's official at long last
For how long will he be back? The Russian didn't/doesn't know when hes got a good thing going when it comes to football. Instead of instant success, he should be thinking of 3-5 years. All the guys including the special one, that he's ditched for instant success.
rumours mou doesnt want David Luiz and will offload him - possibly to Barca who have always been interested
Apparantley Jose thinks quite highly of Luiz
Jose has signed for 4 years, I really hope he gets this at least. But who knows, Roman can be rather impatient.
Also leaked images of the contract!

Chelsea and Vitesse Arnhem have reached an agreement for 20 year old midfielder Marco van Ginkel, pending medical
Signed for 5 years

Just heard that Anelka has signed for West Brom.
Rumour that PSG have upped their bid for Cavani from 43m to 49.3m
Does this mean we'll bring Lukaku back to the first team? Seems like a player that Mourinho would want
Mark Schwarzer to Chelsea.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
Rooney........let him play in the second team at United.....Chelsea don't need him

Good game and not much between the two sides - Mourinho must have felt uncomfortable though against the side he recently quit...
David Luiz to join Barcelona ? - they've upped their offer today " Barcelona bids 25 million euros for David Luiz"
Ridiculous money!!!
