  1. Letter in Telegraph Sport. It didn't take Mr Mourinho long to forget about the very favourable treatment Chelsea received from the referee in their game against Everton. Branislav Inanovic should have been sent off for manhandling James McCarthy but he was not even booked. Plenty of decisions went in favour of Chelsea. Oh, and McCarthey's 'reward' for being manhandled - a yellow card.
  2. Matt, can't upload anything but it may be on the Telegraph website. Otherwise, I can type it all out if anyone is interested.
  3. I had a letter published in the Telegraph Sport today on this very point.
  4. Apparently, Liverpool find out tomorrow whether they are going to be 'done' under Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules.
  5. Roberto was on ITV as a summariser in the Man City v Barcelona game. It worries me that he will be enthused by Barcelona's tiki-taki football and we will continue to do more of the same. The only problem is that we don't do it very well.
  6. Was talking to a mate yesterday, an Ipswich Town supporter, I asked him if he had seen the games on Sunday. He saw both and said the difference between the way Everton play and the way Southampton and Liverpool played was light years. He couldn't believe how slow Everton were in passing the ball and getting the ball forward. In contrast, both Southampton and Liverpool passed the ball at pace and got forward quickly at every opportunity. There have been some posts on here about opposition teams 'parking the bus'. They don't park the bus, its just that we are so slow in building an attack that they have plenty of time to get all their players behind the ball. This retaining possession is fine but as Guardiola said 'there is no point in retaining possession if there is no shot at goal at the end of it'.
  7. The problem is, it just fuels Mourinho's phobia about a conspiracy against Chelsea, when it was just an incompetent referee.
  8. When Howard dives sideways why does he always push the ball back into play instead of out for a corner? Lukaku should have had another hat-trick. It still takes us too long to get the ball forward. All this sideways passing just allows the opposition time to park the bus.
  9. Liverpool look as though they will hold Besiktas to a draw.
  10. Didn't I always say Rom was worth £28m.

    Jokes thread

    A florist went for a haircut, when he asked for the bill the barber said 'there is no charge, I am doing community service so I am doing haircuts for free. Next day when the barber arrived at his shop there was a 'thank you' note and a dozen red roses. The next day, a policeman went in for a haircut and when he asked for the bill the barber said 'there is no charge, I am doing community service so I am doing haircuts for free'. Next day when the barber arrived at his shop there was a 'thank you' note and a pack of jam doughnuts. The next day an MP went for a haircut and when he asked for his bill the barber said 'there is no charge, I am doing community service so I am doing haircuts for free'. The next day when the barber arrived at his shop there were a dozen MP's queueing for their free haircut. That is the fundamental difference between the citizens' of this country and those who run it. :shaking fist:
  12. Mike, you undersold yourself, should have got an agent.
  13. JRon, welcome in. I have been an Evertonian for 69 years. That's what being an Evertonian means, its for ever!
  14. When the England v Australia game finished on Sky, the Australian commentator said 'A very good win for Australia and a scoreline that flattered England'. Typical Aussie. Bet he didn't say it to James Taylor's face.
  15. I think Martinez still thinks of Cleverley from four years ago when he was on loan to Wigan. He needs to have a good look at him NOW. We would be a laughing stock if we recruited him.
