Sad to see Bobby looking so ill, only 71 not that old in todays terms.

So, if you believe this shit, Mourinho has been promised Falcao, Moutinho, Di Maria and Pepe if he returns.


2 of those I would take, 1 I'm not fussed about, the other would make me want to do violent things to whoever sanctions the deal.

I don't think it will depends who comes in out rather who goes out and I don't see Roman being pushed into removing Buck Gouley and Emenalo

Jose and falcao would be more than fine.

The others i can do without. Either way, its got to be better than André Schürrle and "Hulk".

We dont need Moutinho or Di Maria when we have oscar, mata and hazard!

We need some steel in midfield and a proper striker like Falcao. As i keep saying, Fellaini would be a good plan B too.

Schurrie appears to be almost a "done deal" so I don't think we really need Di Maria. Besides, Di Maria is inconsistent and a bit injury prone.

Hulk, no way, too much of a gamble at the kind of money we would have to pay.

I actually think Moutinho would be a useful signing. Very intelligent player, great passer. Not exactly the ball-winner we need though. I suppose it depends how we intend to use Oscar and others.

I've cooled a bit on Falcao. We have to be careful with the new financial fair play rules, and his wages will be enormous. I think we would need to get rid of Torres to make it a viable option

Same with Fellaini. I haven't been so impressed with him this season. Maybe it's because Everton have been using him further foward as a support striker. He just hasn't seemed the same dominant player in midfield that he was last year. But I agree, we could certainly use a player of his "type".

F**k Pepe I've never particularly rated him - I'd take Falcao and Moutinho. We need another world class defender + an athletically defensively minded midfielder.

Dump Torres and recall Lukaku

Agree, Bender from Dortmund looks class, or Fellaini.

Surprising to see Barca so destroyed, but it makes our final win in Bayerns own back yard look even more impressive, IMO. Not changed that much from the side we faced... Champions of Europe for another 25 days .

At least I got one of my predictions right lol. Barca was absolutely destroyed. Oh what I'd give to see Schweinsteiger in our midfield....

Ballack is looking very nice; always great to see him again.

Cech Azpilicueta Ivanovic Cahill Bertrand Luiz Lampard Ramires Hazard Moses Torres

Turnbull Ferreira Terry Ake Oscar Benayoun Mata

Good to see Cahill back and Luiz in midfield again.

The game is in our hands, we have the quality to beat them. It's a shame we never took our chances last leg, otherwise we'd have been sitting very comfortably now.

Don't worry - I'm sure Torres will make up for those missed chances tonight.




lol etc...

It's all set up for Lamps to break the record.

Lampard will break the record, and Abramovich will show his appreciation by saying "we'll miss you, Frank"

Seeing the line up, i must admit i'm really up for this now.

Luiz is in CM again, and Lamps starts = Confident.

Should have been 4-1 last leg and over meaning we could rest players - as it is no Cole who shut down their speedy winger and Luiz precariously placed on a yellow.

Bertrand's got a big job on his hands.

Still we're way better than them - only missed chances and dodgy refereeing will do for us.

Overall - we'll be in the final and win two European trophies in two years

Im confident we can see it through, although it wont be easy. Im certain they will get atleast one goal so we will need to be at the top of our game to make sure we get through.

Praying that we do, currently have two tickets to see the europa league final and i will be so disappointed if i have to watch Basel rather than us!!!

Close by Lampard

Damn, that was close.

I flew up then!
