QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Apr 25 2007, 09:50 PM) Liverpool don't over-turn 1st legs defeats very well. Just look at Benfica last year.  Benfica had luck to not conceed on the first 25 minutes. They're were really lucky. Liverpool '*****' them on that. But then Simao scored a beauty and that killed them. But it was one of those Benfica nights... well, it's football.

Arsenal owned Liverpool twice in the space of 4 days, eliminating them from 2 Cups earlier in the season, they let in a total of 9 goals in the 2 games.
Anfield is no fortress anymore. |

And there's a big difference on the whole squad quality between Chelsea and Liverpool. 1, 2, 3 injuries doesn't make big difference for the sovietics. For Liverpool... it does. Still about Anfield, just check their record. They just lost once this season for the EPL... and it was the luckiest ManUtd's win in the league. Really lucky.

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Bull. Man, Arsenal had already been defeated by Everton before that and they lost to West Ham at Emirates after Anfield... it was the Gooners that were/are out of form, nothing to do with Liverpool... Normally, it'd be another Baptista ( (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) show! |

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I can say exactly the same. Liverpool lost that 2 matches because they were out of form. Baptista... that guy wants to return to Madrid. He said it's too cold in London. Can't survive. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Were Liverpool out of form when Arsenal thrashed them 3-0 at Emirates earlier this season too!?? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
Arsenal lost every goal in a week... it is logical for them not to perform well, they are uninspired and upset... West ham beat them, that says it all... Remember Arsenal might not be contending for the title but they beat United twice! PS On another note, great tactical game by Mourinho last night but the things he had been saying all week long before the game, not matter why he says them (I believe it's mostly to take the pressure off his players) make him look kinda comical in my eyes... I don't want that man in Milan, maybe if we could steal his tactical brilliance!

Chelsea is gonna be in the final; SO I guess we will be facing Sheva instead of revenge (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I know it's very early to say something like this but he could be the best manager in Premiership history.
He's still very, very young in terms of a manager yet he has some ridiculous record of not losing a home league match for five years or something during his time with both Porto and Chelsea. He has the UEFA Cup with Porto, then followed it up with the CL next year. To do that is superb, but with Porto? That maks it even more of an achievment. Having to fight of all the Giants of England, Germany, Spain, Italy and even France. My point is Jose gets it done, and he will continue to do that. Love or hate him, you have to respect what he does when it comes to football. |

Obviously people will remind him as "that cnut who won everything with Chelsea". (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) He wants to go Italy and Spain. He said it more than once. He wants to win everything in that countries too. He just misses the FA Cup and the CL with an English club... then, I believe he'll leave. QUOTE (Darunia @ Apr 26 2007, 07:40 PM) Can't believe Mourinho thought that was a penalty... he must be blind or something cuz it wasn't even that close =/ It was a clear handball by Arbeloa. Dunno if it was inside the area though. |

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) With Ancelotti we've done better in the Champions League than he has done with Chelski having spent 1/10 of the money he has... And in the league, he had Giuve... This season where (as you say) "FA want United to win the championship" he's second... ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) He's great but I don't think he's done anything special in Chelski. For a manager of his level he should have done more, reaching the CL final for a start! QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Apr 26 2007, 09:07 PM) Love or hate him, you have to respect what he does when it comes to football. Whoever does not respect his work is an idiot.

AHH!
Don't bring money into this! Chelsea have spent alot, yes. United are just as bad, they've spent MORE than Chelsea in the last 6 years, but no-one accuses them of 'buying the league'. Rooney - £25m RVN - £20m Carrick - £18m Veron - £20m Ferdinand - £30m Ronaldo - £12m There's well over £100m in recent years, so f@ck the money Chelsea spend, that means nothing. Mourinho has worked magic, regardless of the money spent. He. Is. Genius. |

I'm not saying money is everything... but achieving more targets while spending MUCH less is something!
