Thank you!
Why would he want to come back to the UK and get slaughtered by the press, who for some reason hate him, on a daily basis?
Maybe if he'd stopped at Chelsea, you might have won something this season. But no you had to go back to the 'good old days' but sorry lads time moves on. It's like going back to the old girlfriend, it's never quite the same the second time around!
the press hate him? says who? Certainly the scouse sympathetic press don't. In fact, quite the opposite. They were queuing up to blame Hicks and Gillett for every and any thing he did wrong.....like try and sign Barry to replace Zabi Alonso.... As I said, if he's that good, how come Utd or Spurs haven't gone after him? Surely last seasons exploits would have enhanced his rep over here? Benetiz couldn't win the league with Liverpool (I know, all Hicks and Gilletts fault ) even when 8 clear in Jan before his 'FACTS' meltdown where, I'll remind you, he basically blamed a conspiracy that Utd got preferential treatment and that's why they were winning.....
You seem fixated with us not having won something this season. Benetiz had most of the season last year and struggled to get us into the top 4. We added Schuurle, Willian and an over the hill Sammy Eto and have gone close in the league and CL. JT has gone from not in the team to one of the years outstanding defenders in the league (not my words - plenty of journos saying it). Hazard is young player of the year even though he has to work back now which last year he'd free reign to attack. We've an outstanding record against our direct rivals Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Utd. I could go on and on but there's no point. you obviously dont like and rate Jose. We do and his CV will show his achievements when he's done. And if he was available, Louis Van Aarl would be nowhere near that Utd job as they'd be queuing up to bring him to OT - and that's one of the biggest jobs in football.

More chance of winning something with Rafa this year? Behave. Not as gutted we lost as I believe we done better than expected. What were odds on us getting this far? I was surprised we got past psg as thwy looked great away. More gutted when getting knocked out last minute by barca or Liverpool as felt we were a better team and had a chance to win it.
I don't remember at any point anybody saying we would win it. Not like the Liverpool championship hype machine. Lets not forget we are still in this title race, which I can see going right to the wire.

Weren't sure from your earlier posts if the fumes from the burning of your plastic flag last night had haggled your brain somewhat, or he'd hijacked your account!

Can't say I felt sorry for Chelsea losing,playing 6 defenders in a CL semi final at home.Even Eden hazard who is a cracking player slagged the special one off. Personally I think Chelsea have got an amazing squad on a par with man City's yet JM & the fans still say they have no strikers & strength in depth.
First signs of cracks at Chelsea. Trophy less season and dissent in the ranks similar to his time at Real Madrid. Players beginning to doubt the so called special one.
Well, I tell them there's no problem Only solutions
This is a few years old but it would not have changed much.
Average All-time Attendances 1 Man. United 36, 885 2 Liverpool 33, 773 3 Tottenham 33, 437 4 Arsenal 32, 413 5 Chelsea 31, 322 6 Newcastle 31, 038 7 Everton 31, 023 8 Man.City 28, 631 9 Aston Villa 27 ,992 10 Leeds 25, 634
Liverpool's highest ever home attendance would come 67th in Chelsea's top 100. 'We were ten times the best supported club in the country (average attendance) between 1905 and 1955. But only in that last year did we actually win anything. Other than that a third place finish in 1920 was as good as it got. One of those years we were best supported was a relegation year (1924) and another was in Div 2 (1926).
· Also, I believe (maybe not claiming this as a fact since I couldn’t find the list) we have 4 of the top ten highest attendances of all time (this may not be true now with the redevelopment of Old Trafford but I think it still is).
We were the first team to average over 40,000 in a season in 1921.'
Newcastle have had their fair share of low attendances. Averaged 16k in '91. Our attendances dropped in the '80's but that is the case for most clubs (Spurs 20k, Everton 20k, Arsenal 25k) http://www.theshedend.com/topic/25287-at...d-and-the-ugly/
Similar sized support but you are a one club city.

Genuine question for the Chelsea lad's, what's the obsession with Mourinho? Any other manager and you'd be calling for his head!

good point on PSG. Obviously them being a "big" club then makes us a MASSIVE club in comparison so maybe you're not a stupid as your posts make out
