As a little experiment, I've started taking extra interest in seeing how Ribery gets on when I watch Bayern in the Champions League. Starting to lose count of the number of times he's been bloody hopeless.

 

Ancelotti has done in less than a year what Mourinho failed to do in three, with football that's actually fun to watch.

It helps if you field actual footballers (like Modric) in midfield.

I hear the distant sound of a thousand amateur podcasters throwing their Bayern shirts into a rubbish tip.

 

LMAO at Mourinho.

Jose must have left the handbrake off when he parked the bus.
 
The pressure will be on for Mourinho to win either the Premier League or the Champions League next year, any less and he'll most probably become the sacked one. Atletico were as excellent and as vibrant on the night as they have been all season, and Courtois is like a spider. It's going to be another wonderful final.

Valiant effort by the unwavering, perennially underrated commander in chief John Terry, who heroically played through the pain barrier to lead Jose's courageous gladiators with typical awe inspiring aplomb. In many ways though he lost the game he won the greater prize, the nation's hearts. His tears, in many ways, were all of our tears. And while we'll never know for sure it is 100% reasonable to assume that a fully fit JT and Lamps would have seen the boys over the line continues for another 2,000 words

Sensational, Fred.

what a great Game for the Final , Madrid - Madrid, hope Atletico wins..

Never realised what an uncanny resemblance there is between Louis Van Gaal and Harold from 'Neighbours'.

 

This stunning revelation makes that ol' Van Gaal dropping his pants in the Bayern dressing room story just that little bit more weird! Thank God dear old Madge wasn't alive to see it!

Anyone got an idea what the Richter scale reading was when all those Newcastle fans began their "protest"? Must have been like Godzilla trudging through Tokyo.

 

Hilarious to think of all those whom desperately tried to portray Giggs as some Gary Kasparov level brainbox because his "Yanited" did the unthinkable and beat Norwich, that infamously in form red hot soccer sensation. Woo woo, only a man who understands "the Yanited way" could've pulled that miracle out of the bag. 

 

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Cardiff. And as for you, Felix, the men in white coats are awaiting your return. 

But I thought Giggsy was the new Guardiola!

In before the super-injunction!
 


The argument put forth last weekend by the likes of Redknapp and Yorke for Ryan Giggs PFM (proper football man) to be given the job full-time because he 'looks the part' was only slightly short of outright madness. Even as a daft laugh, it shouldn't really need to be said that a successful track record is preferable to decent tailoring.

 

Sniff.

So...Diego Costa will now be wearing blue???

Hopefully, the first item on the agenda for the next supporter's trust meeting will be to bring in a proof reader for the protest banners.

The £32m fee currently being bandied about sounds a bit low to me, you could nearly get Andy Carroll for that.

 

With every passing week, the title race in Spain is getting wackier and wackier. Assuming that each of the top three win their next game and that Real also win their game in hand, Barca could potentially hand the title to Real by beating Atletico on the final day. I hope Atletico do it though, red and white stripes every time. Except Stoke. And Sheffield United.

I think it's gone up to 57 now. Some reports are saying he has already signed and some say he hasn't. It's anyone guess at this point. I think he should stay with Atletico.

 

As much as I love Barca, I would love too see Atletico win La Liga. 

Mourinho will use him in such a way that he is isolated for all first halves and first bit of second halves  <_<
