hey, mourinho is whining like a bitch again:

so much for that self imposed media ban.

@ Bookie: you got the three points. Be happy. dont count Brugge and Rapid as easybeats, along with Juventus you are in a tough group. Maximum points from the first two games is a good start

Oh, and go INTER!!!

 

[LMF^^]

Is it John Mikel Obi or John Obi Mikel? I think it's the first one. And nobody knows what's happening, apparently Obi was forced to sign for United but wanted to sign for Chelsea, so now FIFA are looking into it. He'll be moving somewhere in January

Chelsea are kuntz, they want every player we want, and thatz includin Zoroka.

They say hez like Essien, except much cheaper.

I think it's ridiculous how Wenger can make comments about the Premiership being less attacking (even trying to introduce more points for attacking teams) yet have six defenders on the field against Ajax.

Mate, at Bayern, where I work as chief football coach, there are high expectations of the boys. We can't struggle with 1 goal wins against small clubs. I was happy with the defence though, but with a 5 man defence consisting of Sagnol, Lizu, Ismael and Lucio, how can you go wrong?

clichy was being played in midfield too, so they played 5 at the back for about 2 minutes plus stoppage time. the scum played pretty well i must admit especially with such a weakened team.

 

[Italian Hotshot]

Oh, and go INTER!!!

Supporting an Italian side? I'm confused! I really can't wait for the Rangers game, then on the weekend we have the Derby d'Italia against Juve.
