Chelsea v Inter

[Fish111]

I would love Mourinho at City purely for his tactical abilities and his winning mentality. His persona is a fuckin drag though, i despise his cockyness and his smug attitude grates me. If/when he becomes our boss i will just concentrate on the football and not watch any interviews.

And buy Snejder btw, he is world class.

I'd immediately forget the smug arrogance if he managed City. Besides, you have to be super confident when you're dealing with Top Class Players. How anyone can not want him at City is beyond me given the apparent ease in dumping Chelsea out of the Champions League last night.

Touch wood Inter get Man Ure in the Semis. I'd prefer them to go out in the Semis because they'll be convinced that they're almost there - yet fall at the last hurdle.

I hope they don't play the rags because unfortunately I think the rags will beat them & it will give the turds more opportunity to impress everyone with their smart-arsedness. It was a good game from Inter but it masks how poor Chelsea were; they were verging on inept. No invention, no workrate, several players inc Anelka bottled it, Lampard & Ballack were pathetic. The rags will pass the ball around home & away & put Inter's CB's under pressure & give them a whole host of problems rather than just clearing headers.

If the worst happens & rags reach the final, Inter & Mourinho would be a stiff test in a one off game but at OT; well the rags would have had 4 penalties in last night's game for a start.

I disagree. Jose has a pretty good record against Man Ure (along with his time at Porto) and I think he knows how to beat a Taggart side. Chelsea weren't brilliant last night and they only needed to win 1-0 to get through - but you can't take any credit away from Inter who beat them twice in two legs. Chelsea have been there and thereabouts in Europe for several seasons recently. Semis, Finalists etc.

Mourinho has openly said he wants another taste of the Premiership, he wants La Liga and he wants to manage Portugal when he's old. I'd have had him for England, too. Although Capello is arguably a better Manager.

I've no doubts about Mourinho's ability to beat Taggart, just about Inter's players ability to not get turned over at OT.

Luck of the draw, perhaps. If they go to The Swamp for the first leg and defend as well as they did against Chelsea last night then they could get through.

Jose Mourinho really is the man.

Quite spotted on Teddy assessment. Out of managerial preferences, as quite often CL fm last 16 ahead is getting decided by the momentum of form, and Chelsea is not at their best now, disgracefull pitch didn't helped the team who mostly need attack also. I wouldn't forget the couple of penalties at S.Siro, brighter than yesterday's.

I am clearly a partisan, but I would rather prefer to give Mancio say Xavi Alonso+Snjider+Higuain, rather than living in the hope Jose, the selfish clown, will face the City risk...:-)
And this not only because I very much dislike the person, but also because I am pretty convinced that given the same team/stuff, Mancio performs betters either on mid and long term perspective: it is obviouvsly my very personal, arguable opinion.

Since now, imo:
Inter 55%
RM 30%
'Pool 5%
U***d 5%
Chelsea 5%
City 0%

I reckon, as Teddy once drove my to understand, It could be the Club first choice yet, but it does not fit the way Jose manages his CV.

[lets all have a disco]

Chelsea arent very good against counter attacking teams.

[mcfc1632]

Oh well - hopefully this will mean that Chelsea become obsessed on the PL -we need them to stop the scum (been a bit like a scum love-in on here recently) - we need to all remember that being CITY fans means that you should detest everything that is associated to those twats (IMO)

I like Mancini & hope he succeeds at City but I have to say I thought Mourinho's Inter team last night looked a quality outfit & imo looked a class above the one I saw under Mancini. It's only my opinion though.

If Mancini does stay at City , he'll need some big success quickly because the shadow of Mourinho is going to be in the background all the time.

It is just a fact that this year Inter is better and most effective, but it is also a matter of fact that E'Eto, Milito, Motta, Snjiider and a 2 yrs older Balotelli - less an Ibra getting older - are a far better and powerfull team as well.
As I said, I stand behind You about the possibility of Mancio to be driving next season and when I think about the Mariga working licence I am even more puzzled also in the case we'll get 4th. But whether he will be or not, if You look at the Jose career after the Porto's acheivement, You know why he won't be the City manager for the next 3-4 years.

On the other hand, the reason why I am such a great and long lasting fan of Mancio, is because I can just even see what an effective and "quite potable entertaining" team City will be next year, with 3 top players suited to his style, if he shall be the incumbent yet.
However, and most important by far, the only wish is to grab 4th against all odds! Then, from that platform, delivering success to City will be an easied task, whoever will be the manager.

[Mase]

I think we missed out big time not getting Sneijder!

Just heard that things go from bad to worse in Terry's case. Ran someone over after the game and failed to stop.

No source yet but a text, can't be bothered
