as for liverpool didnt really amtter anyway with spurs result and tbh [probly better not to paly in the europa again, good for blooding young talent but at the end of the day it's nothing more than a consulation prize for us, if we won the europa it woluld be like, oh well wasn't a totaly shit season, whereas if someone liek stoke won it (or even spurs or man city as they don't have much european pedigree) it would be a historic season ect

That is the thing, 7-8 home games with capacity crowd is alot of money for Liverpool, it would pay the wages of a couple of decent players for a year, then add in any TV revenue and prize money. Extra revenue is not to be sniffed at and getting new players is always easier if you can offer them a chance at any European prize. Better to be in it imo.

Carlo's gone

Uff. Poor Carlo. Great bloke, but I think ultimately this year showed his weaknesses quite brutally. He had a lot to deal with, but still. My concern, conversely, is who do we find who is really that much better than Carlo? Villas Boas seems exciting, but vastly inexperienced, Hiddink is unavailable. Don't fancy Van Basten at all. Who else, realistically, is there?

 

[Vladamir]

Well I would guess they have someone in the frame, as I doubt this decision has been made on a whim with noone in mind.

Big mistake by Chelsea, you'll finish 5th next season, mark my words.. nothing is going to sort that squad out easily.

 

[CorNokZ]

Not even £50 mil

 

[Vladamir]

I guess he'll be lifting the lid on why our season slumped hard now then.

 

[Everz]

Still not calmed down, I've never celebrated like I have after Hunt's goal, I was right infront (you might see me on motd !) of it as it went in.. was as if time stood still. Our fans were excellent, 3-0 down and we still didnt shut up. Hunt has secured himself a spot in Wolves legend for that, it was such an important goal .

 

[Vladamir]

For you Everz

Tempting whether to post my vids up lol, got a few on the pitch and then us and Blackburn fans chanting along with each other

Hope so!

Fuck off!

 

[Keitanz]

Rafa Benitez.

 

[Vladamir]

That's actually my worry Keitan, if you look at Roman's (not Chelsea's) obsession with the CL, and you want a manager who's won it. then it's Rafa or Rijkaard, failing that, could it be Van Gaal or Van Basten?

We could well be going dutch in the summer, if that's the case then watch out for McClaren with his dodgy accent

 

[Everz]

Van Gaal only good manager available.

Villas-Boas anyone ?

 

[CorNokZ]

Laudrup might be done in Mallorca..

 

[Vladamir]

I'd take a punt on Villas Boas for the simple fact I don't think he'd take any shit from anyone, and already has some association with the club. But it was only this week he's stating he wants to build a legacy with Porto, I just don't see him giving that up for what could be a season or 2 here.

 

[CorNokZ]

"How many you got Stevie?"

BBC - Jonathan Stevenson: Who's the greatest?

An interesting read, although there are a few teams on that list who do not deserve to be there.

For me, the Milan team of the 1990s were the best. I have never seen a better defence, way above the class of Vidic and Puyol. They beat Cruyff's 'Dream Team' 4-0 without Baresi, Papin, Costacurta, Laudrup and van Basten - but still had Savicevic and Maldini on the pitch.

 

[Aoami]

Southampton 02/03 season.

 

[Embattle]

Depends if he got a pay off.

 

[Raven]

Because half the players couldn't be arsed. Mistake getting rid of him imo.

Told you it would work out.

I will LOL so hard my knees will buckle if it turns out to be Rafa.

 

[Vladamir]

I'd turn my support to Norwich, given that I'm studying there at the moment, g'wan Delia

 

[cHodAX]

Time to treat myself to a new t-shirt.

[bainteor]

Big worry for Chelsea. Their time is passing, I personally think that their core line-up has achieved all that it was capable of.

Needs an overhaul, defo.

 

[Bodhi]

Silly decision by Roman imo. You can't undermine the manager halfway through the season by removing his closest assitant then expect him to win silverware.

Dread to think who we'll end up with next. Bloody Special Agent Grant or Rijkaard knowing us :/
