Cardozo is boss.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

Nope, just bored of you constantly doing that. It's getting tedious you've had about 20 posts doing it deleted in the last few weeks and theres others like on this page : http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=305148.msg11561775#msg11561775

It's getting a bit weird, thats all.

Jesus it was a lighthearted comment, wasn't expecting such an embarassing overreaction.

So Chelsea has played 10 games in a month, winning seven, drawing one and losing just two. Impressive rotation from Rafa, and the squad depth helps as well.

To win it:

Benfica  5/4
Chelsea 8/11

Tempted by that Benfica price, they're being undervalued imho, especially given the fact that they possess one of Europe's most prolific strikers,

Chelsea fans were singing an ex managers name throughout the game, fun fact he never got them to a European final. The interim manager still booed and lauded as a "fat Spanish waitor" does it in less than a few months and still booed.

Chelsea fans have a gold fish memory.

That David Luiz has one sweet left foot, that was a lovely touch straight into the top corner.

Hope Benfica absolutely batter Chelsea, their fans are twats. Singing about another manager whilst their team is off to the Europa League final ffs. Learn from Dortmund fans reaction to Gotze situation vs Madrid. Dickheads.

I'd prefer to see him in midfield. Lacks the concentration to become a top, top defender imo. Cracking footballer though.

Its a win-win really. If Chelsea win I'll be made up for Rafa as he deserves every success in football.

If Chelsea lose I'll be made up that those fucking c*nts that call themselves Chelsea fans miss out on another European cup.

Mental he could be two dodgy back passes away from a treble success of two cups, and a top 4 finish, and they still don't like or want him, nor has he got any credit fOR it depsite the massive amount of games played.

I couldn't care less about the shit plastic club, but I would like for Rafa to win the final, and go back home to manage Real Madrid after that. This would be the perfect time for him to take over at the Bernabeu.

They will more than likely move for Carlo Ancelotti if reports are to be believed.
