The Spanish connection is the main reason RB was appointed and Guardiola would be able to make all sorts of demands re transfers and time to reorganise if he wanted the job - that's if RA wants Chelski to play the 'beautiful game'.


He's (RA) won the trophy he wanted now so maybe he was so irked by the criticism Chelski got that he would be willing to let Pep have a couple of seasons the revolutionise things - like all billionaire megalomaniacs he wants to be loved :)


Mancini must surely be on his way whether he wins at home or not - they were miles off qualifying for the knockout stages when the Gooners did it for the 13th consecutive season - and there are no signs that Mancini is on the way to creating a CL winning team.

Meanwhile back in Rome where visiting English fans have come to expect a chivving from the locals. Lazio's Ultras are at it again. I expect nothing will be done about it and the culprits will get away with it...again.

er, Milan, Mick?

So I heard. Good. Hear that Mikel has a serious charge over this now.


Given the unlikely marriage between RB and Chelsea, how about the one between Neil Warnock and El Hadji Diouf? He once called him a sewer rat and has since signed him for Leeds and calls him a matador. Any others?

FA can't really win this.

I personally think it was all a diversionary tactic, but the FA will inevitably be accused of sweeping it under the carpet, whitewashing (boom boom) and hypocrisy.


Anyway, glad for CLattenburg, though he'll never hear the end of it, mud inevitably sticks.

"but the FA will inevitably be accused of sweeping it under the carpet, whitewashing (boom boom) and hypocrisy. "


Not by any significant number I don't think... I think the bulk of mistrust will be directed at the current crop of Chelsea players and whatever odd hierarchy exists there

And let's take a moment to look at that recent/current crop of Chelsea players


By even the mercenary standards of 2012 premiership standards, they take some beating don't they. I think they willed themselves to win the fekkin CL to spite managers, media, fans


If they had a supportive manager for a couple of seasons they wouldn't have roused themselves


Talented maybe, odious certainly


Do winners always have to be nice guys? No, but when you have such a concentration of egos, a concentration to surpass they brashest foxtons, then judgement is warranted

Harry wouldn't actually say he was interested on MOTD last week out of respect for Hughes. It was very clear that he was interested though.


I find Hughes really difficult to like, so quite pleased really. Agree about the timing though, very odd. Perhaps they wanted to spare him the final humiliation of a thumping at United.

It's one game they were sure to lose in any case so it might free up the players enough to 'have a go' if they'd been feeling oppressed by Sparky's tactics. Makes for a more interesting coupon buster now...?

I'm going to White Hart Lane on Sunday. I'd like to predict a win for Spurs but but our form is very patchy at the moment and can see the Hammers getting something out of this game. (BTW - if you're reading this Parkdrive you haven't put your predicted score in for this fixture).


As for Mark Hughes. It's been a long time coming. I guess the owners are thinking - do we trust him in the next transfer window? - He spent a lot of money and most of those signings haven't worked out and the results haven't come either. Get someone else in and see how that goes. A similar thing at Chelsea. Though they started playing the sexy football that the owner craved, they were shipping goals at the other end of the pitch. They've missed Terry at the back but Benitez will tighten things up and make them difficult to beat again. First thing I'd do is drop David Luiz. For the money they paid for him I think he's been rubbish..

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
