QUOTE(hfi @ May 20 2012, 05:44 AM) That espn host was spot on. Bayern is predictable, they tend to overload one area of the pitch - making it easy to defend against. My stream was from "FOX", i cringed when the commentator said "soccer" hahaha.Anyways, congrats to chelsea; no one can say they didn't deserve it. And congrats to torres too, he looked so happy |

QUOTE(hfi @ May 20 2012, 05:58 AM) Yes i read that Burn, but that's the writer insinuation and not Capello's words. If he said "I'm not going to Chelsea but Liverpool interests me" then that's credible. It comes from the horse's mouth so to speak. im not saying the source is 100% credible, but up until now pep and capello doesnt confirm nor deny that they interested in managing the club yet. |

Yeah someone is leaking all this info and i'm not sure who and why. The club has never confirmed nor deny it has 12 names on the list. Yet all these reports seem to be convinced one way or the other.
Maybe it's all pre planned. Maybe they have already identified a target - and maybe that target is not exactly popular among the media and fans. But when they do eventually sign the fella, they will say that they tried to talk to 12 people but everyone has rejected Liverpool and so we can't blame them for their choice. |

QUOTE(Cloud0890 @ May 20 2012, 03:40 AM) I wasn't trying to say Rafa doesn't deserve the credit, in fact I think he deserves it and I thank him for it. My point is when he was given a chance to build his team, he finally made it and came close to success but due to his poor man management skills, his near title winning team broke apart of his own makings. That's all I'm trying to say. that's crazy.if hypotactically a nameless manager wins the Europa cup next year, its KD's squad, the list goes on, & on. Manager picks the first 11, gets them to drill practice the world week for the weekend match. Manager sets the strategy for the game. I didnt know Houllier could operate fantasy manager to win the CL. at home, while the whole team is in istanbul. never mind, never mind. I posted a link in my last post, maybe some of you guys should Really read it, & understand it. ...and this media spun "poor man management skills" QUOTE(hfi @ May 20 2012, 05:29 AM) I don't really care if we don;t end up with Rafa. Like i said several times on this thread there are better alternatives. I just find it strange some people are still misinformed and confused about Rafa until today. Hopefully one day he gets to clear the air once and for all. he does, all it takes is to read the fan forums in his site & all over other forums, proper football jounalist.some guys just cannot stomach rafa decided to offload his favourite player idol to raise money to buy barry. Lfc fans need to be objective. This post has been edited by koolspyda: May 20 2012, 07:32 AM |

To everyone who wanted 4th place .. well, it means nothing.
If we want Champions League, we have to aim for 1st |

Chelsea won the UCL in almost the same fashion we did in Istanbul.. well, obviously not even close to being the epic that was Istanbul.. but they did it as underdogs.
Congrats to them. |

I thought Bayern did well. I still prefer to watch that kind of football amassing 40 shots and more possession. They didn't do nothing wrong eccept being wasteful. Robben only hit the target once from open play and the ball HITS THE POST. Mario Gomez .. scored 48 goals in 53 games before the final, fails to test the keeper from a good chance. Then he misses the penalty which could have won it for them. Then Olic squares it to van Buyten, who didn't follow up his run and that would have been an easy goal.To me all bayern did was showing up with tooth pick to poke chelsea whole night, instead of swords, dominating a lot yes, with puszy roar actually.

Yes, it's arguable that Barca had all the ball, all the shots but just not the goals while Chelsea scored when it matters but it's still funny how in two games running, they score from just about one or two chances at goal whilst being dominated by the opponents. Scored from their only corner today as well! And I don't think the manager felt he has won the cup. It was more of bringing a centre back to protect the lead but he should never had taken Muller off. Bayern has only themselves to blame. They got into good positions but never took advantage of it.
