f*** United more though. I'd rather another team was competitive as City look like they are capable of f***ing it up this season.

He's only there till May. If he does well at Chelsea it wont be to our detriment. So I hope he wins every game except the one at Anfield. He'll be long gone before we are anywhere near good enough to make Chelsea's success matter to us.

You remember half right. He was caught out initially so started to track back but he was basically jogging back. Had he ran back he would have been goalside of his man. It was schoolboy. Here's the thing yeah, you can, you know , play through a minor injury. I think that as he seemed free flowing 2 seconds earlier it probably wasn't essential that he was substituted so that we had no recognisable full backs on the pitch.

Hendo is jogging back and Skrtel is marking no one, massive communication balls up. I doubt anyone ever told a footballer 'If the man is behind you, casually jog back so that you are two yards behind him when he receives the ball'

It almost seemed to me that he was told to go down the tunnel as if he didn't it would have made Rodgers look daft as the run and cross 2 seconds before he was hooked were excellent and he looked in no way injured.

Like for the first one, what the f*** Skrtel and Henderson thought they were doing, and for the second one, why did we have 5 men in their box with 5 mins to go in a game we were comfortably in control off. Pepe had a pretty ropey game but neither goal was his fault. He did actually make a couple of saves but as per usual he made them look so routine with his positioning that people forget about them.

I was just checking the date of the Liverpool Chelsea game and came upon this site. f*** me that is a mark up. Is this legal? http://www.1st4footballtickets.com/english-premiership-liverpool-vs-chelsea-tickets/liverpool-11962.html

I hope he wins every game except the one at Anfield. He'd do us a massive favour that way.

I reckon that point will come just after he fires Guardiola.

Nah, there is no way Rafa will win over Roman, he wants Guardiola, he wants Barca football. I am confident that Abramovic will bin him at the end of the season.

Seriously!!! He was Atletico captain at 19, he was the great white hope of Spanish football the natural successor to Raul. Man Utd wanted to sign him the summer before we did and Ferguson was gutted when we got him. It was a massive coup. He had stagnated but nobody doubted the raw talent the boy had. You make it sound like we signed Nicholas Bendtner.

We were quality wide men away from winning the league under Rafa, they have them coming out of their ears. I think this is a brilliant opportunity for Rafa, he gets the opportunity to turn Torres from a has been into a goal threat, something, no other Chelsea manager could do. In Cech Ivanovic Cahill/Luiz Terry Cole he has an unenviable back 4 in Mata, Oscar and Hazard he has a trio of quality creative talent. He just needs to sort out his centre midfield and he will be fine and lets be honest it's not been known to be a weakness of his!!!! They could well win the league this season with Rafa. I'm with Cobs, hope they win it, f*** him off, and crash and burn under Pep because Barca football doesn't work in the premier league. Rafa exits stage left with his head held high.

Do you mean 'no love lost' as in the was no love lost between etc, or that you will lose none of the love you have for the man. If it's the latter , the former

To be honest John I can't see it under the current owners. They had their chance and went a different way, pretty much all the fans would have been happy to see Rafa back after Kenny left so there wasn't a risk of alienating the fanbase.

It will only be for 8 months, assuming Chelsea finish 3rd it has no bearing on our season so I hope he takes it and almost beats City to the title, in the process turning Chelsea into the crushing machine he had at Valencia. Then he f***s off and it all goes to pieces under Guardiola.

I think we know who the caretaker Chelsea manager is then On Wednesday he told Abu Dhabi-based website Sport 360: "I have just found out [about Di Matteo]. Obviously Chelsea is a top side and they can compete for trophies so it goes in this category." Asked if Chelsea had approached him, he said: "You ask directly, I cannot answer directly. "In football a lot of people are talking so we will see what happens in the next few days. I am looking for a club that can challenge for trophies and Chelsea is one of these clubs." When Benitez was asked about the prospect of managing on a short-term basis, he added: "I have to talk with my agent and see what he has been doing the last couple of days. "But I am just trying to go to a team that can win. So we will find ways to have a challenge like this."

I got 6/12.

Also he has the opportunity to turn Torres back into a player. He can't do any worse than RDM or AVB, he could just win them the bloody league. Don't do it Rafa, or do it and drop Terry.

That's nonsense, if you've beaten the keeper with your skill (a la Suarez the other week) then fine but he hadn't. Hart made an ill judged attempt to come and head clear and Ibrahimovic showed magnificent athleticism and technique to get the ball back on target in the shortest time possible but he can only score that goal because of Hart's mistake. For me this is a better goal because he beats the keeper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q0ANjqm0YY
