When he had his first spell at Chelsea I loved his interviews, he was funny. These days I think he's lost all his charm and just comes over as a moaner. There's a picture doing the rounds of him at a press conference after the 0-0 with Arsenal saying that a team that can't score at home are boring.

Yep.

Double yep.


And agree with Jah about ManC - if we end up going there on the last day of the season needing a point a fleet of charabancs won't be enough. Last night exposed Chelsea's limitations - they weren't baffled by BFS's genius, they just lacked the ability to overcome a group of players desperate for points and sick of being spanked.

From the Mourinho back catalogue of hypocrasy


A 1-0 second-leg defeat could not prevent dogged Inter, leading 3-1 from the San Siro, heading to the May 22 final against Bayern Munich.

Mourinho even received congratulatory texts from his old Chelsea friends.

Reacting to criticism of Inter?s defensive approach, Mourinho said: "It is a style of blood not skill. When the moment of leaving everything on the pitch arrives, you don't leave the skill you leave the blood.

"We were a team of heroes. We sweated blood. It's a pity I could not play because I have got the same blood. I have already won a Champions League but today was even better.

"We made huge sacrifices. It is always difficult to play against them with 10 (after Thiago Motta was dismissed). Barca are the best in the world with the ball. I am happy not because Barca lost but because Inter won.

You're either just shit stirring or you still don't get it.


I'll just say a good victory for the club... and for Allardiccio's strongdefence/long ball/bombs into the box muscular '?lan'.


Carroll out for three now though.


ETA: Though I did get the score right on the EDF Predictor League :)

I know - red rag and all that


Don't WANT to be relegated but would happily suffer it IF it got rid of SA. Unfortunately it might not even manage that as the porn brothers would probably think he was the best option for the Championship.


- and it looks like the style of footy that Allardiccio always said he wasn't "just all about" is at Upton Park to stay (as long as he is) and may be good enough to see off enough teams like Swansea (at home) to avoid the drop.


Like EP said - something about cogwheels and diffidence.

AM, come on, don,t be so logical. Football should be a game of passion, when we lose I hate it and I think the reason we are where we are falls squarely on BFS' shoulders. Do I want us to go down really? No, of course not. A small consolation if we did is that he,d (hopefully) go and I really hope ( against expectation) that he'd go if we stay up. You want logic...follow chess or something.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
