Of course! No need to say it! The Red Tide is coming!! |
Guys, guys. I'm sorry to get your hopes up here. There is a red tide coming but it isn't from the North. Arsenal are gonna surprise everyone this year, even without the guy who went to spain, i think, what was his name again, Tony Henry or something like that.
Football is pricing the working class fans out of football, that's the scandal. Times have changed when dad's would take their sons to the matches. The football may have improved, but has sold out to the money men.
I'm sure arsenal and rangers filled their games this week for the CL, granted their prices are a little cheaper. If they want people to go mid week drop the price, if they can raise it for certain games and know people will buy the tickets they can lower it to get the support. Clubs can do more to put bums on seats. |

| All of this just in time for Sunday's tilt away to United. Tell me the United supporters haven't been cooking up songs the second they got wind of this. I can just hear it now ... Where's your Mourinho gone? Where's your Mourinho gone? |

That provides a nice segway into some chants I have heard recently floating about.
1/ From MCFC sung to the Proclaimers '500 Miles':
Oh you can freeze 500 million,
And you can freeze 500 million more,
Cos Frankie boy had got 5 billion,
Underneath his bedroom floor,
SHIN-A-WATRA, SHIN-A-WATRA
And at #2 a cracker from last season sung to the hokey pokey and directed at West Ham:
You put your Argies in,
Your Argies out,
The Iceman comes along and your manager is out,
You�re selling Reo-Coker and you�re going down,
That�s why we love to shout:
Oh wanky, wanky West Ham!
Oh wanky, wanky West Ham!
Oh wanky, wanky West Ham!
I miss football chants.

Not sure I agree about genius, although I do personally like Mourinho. Mourinho owes his career to the Russian linesman at Old Trafford who wrongly ruled out Paul Scholes's goal just before half-time, which was (would have been) 2-0 United and game over (3-2 on aggregate with an away goal).
His Porto side were a horrible shower.
And at Chelsea, with unlimited resources, he's under-achieved and taken the careers of Shevchenko and Ballack with him.
Hopefully United can capitalize and absolutely crush them this weekend. United haven't been scoring much and someone's due a pounding. It's gonna be Chelscum - bring it!  |
Moan on, Utd, typical that you'd bring up something like that offside. You'd do well to remember favourable calls you've received in the past. Something like a ball being about 2 feet over the line and not being called in. Anyhow, you're wrong about JM wrecking the careers of Ballack and Scheva, that would be down to Abramovitch. Jose didn't want them there in the first place. He's no mug. |

I'll miss him. I used to be in fits watching him on MOTD complaining about this, that and the other.
He was a bit of an ass, made more so by the fact that he didn't really deliver anything major i.e. the Champions League, which is all the big club managers really want these days.
There will certainly be a void in the Premier League now he's gone and I can't think of anyone quite so annimated that can possibly replace him. As for Chelsea, yeah, I reckon that there might very well be an exodus over the coming months.
I'd predicted a good year for the Spuds this season, but given Martin Jol's poor start I'm now not so sure.
Surprised Arsenal have made such a strong start. A lot of people (myself included) didn't have them in the top 4 at seasons end. I still reckon Spurs will finish in the top 4 although, maybe now at the expense of Chel$ki. Be interesting to see how they play over the coming weeks.
Anyway, sod the premiership, what about Bristol City FC? Premiership contenders for next season? You better believe it. One of the chairman, Stephen Lansdown is a co-director of a really successful financial services firm which has just been listed on the LSE and has netted him about 70,000,000 quid. Not sure how much he threw at City, but it's obviously starting to pay dividends. |

Mourinho: the man who makes the pub go quiet
| Quote: |
| English football may have just lost its villain-in-chief but there was much to admire while Jose Mourinho was in charge at Chelsea. |
| Quote: |
If football is a soap opera (and boy it is!) then it has lost its JR Ewing, Dirty Den and Alexis Colby all-rolled-into-one. All good soap operas depend on the quality of their villains, and those watching find that, in the end, they don't just love to hate them, they love them too. The world without them is anaemic, grey, decent and dull.
So it is with Jose Mourinho's departure. Football has lost its baddie, and there's no one left to fill the void. A good baddie must be arrogant, selfish, self-serving and ruthless, but he must also be witty, clever and suffused with charisma from top-to-bottom. Mourinho is all of those things. He even has a villainous dress-sense - all sharp suits and sleek overcoats.
Like many football fans, I loved and hated Mourinho. But that must be to his credit, because initially I just hated him. And I didn't want to like him. It felt wrong, like warming to Boris Johnson, or fancying Natasha Kaplinsky. |

| Abramovich should keep his nose out of transfers and team selection and leave all that to the manager. It seems Mourinho was pushed out because of his difficult relationship with Shevchenko/Ballack/Robben and perhaps the fact that he didn't win the Champions League. Yet the guy still won five trophies in three seasons. Apparently Drogba is majorly p.issed at Mourinho's exit and could be on his way to Milan during the January transfer window. Interesting times ahead. |

When it comes to being animated (and putting together long strings of profanities) one mustn't overlook Peter Reid, formerly of Sunderland!
Meanwhile, the most animated manager I have ever seen is Giovanni Galeone while he was in charge of AC Perugia. That man could go for the whole 90 minutes ... and into stoppage time.  |
