He may or may not have been a good coach, but he was an entertainer and I think I like that about him.
Chelsea's loss will be another club's gain, I'm sure, but which club will it be and will they be rich?

I gathered he will be taking over from Scolari as
Portugal's manager.

Havent confirmed it though.

"It is omelettes and eggs. No eggs - no omelettes! It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have class one, two or class three eggs and some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. So when the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, you have a problem"

If that statement means what I think it is, then he deserves
the boot.

You simply cannot say that about the situation at your club.

Just heard Scolari will be sacked and Jose is
lined up to take over.

That's quite interesting.

Latest news coming from Portugal

Scolari to be sacked and Jose to take over.

Haven't confirmed it though!

Interesting Twist!

Latest news says AVRAM GRANT will be in
charge against Man Utd at Old Trafford on
Sunday.

Steve Clarke to remain as number 2.

Names are being mentioned.

Avram Grant till the end of the season, Didier
Deschamps (likely), Guus Hiddinks (contracted
to the Russian FA.

But for now, Avram Grant will likely be in
charge. He should do a decent job.

Does anyone think he won't be missed?

Love him or loathe him, his depature is
a minus to the premiership.

I always say it at the top of my voice how
much I don't like him and how my little
nephew makes better sense than Jose
most times, but I still feel bad about his
depature.

Two titles in three seasons with some
cups is a good record. He will be wanted
all around Europe but he can decide to
take a lot of time off.

Remeber he got paid £5m a year so he
is a rich man now.

Chelsea's got to move on. Remember
they've got some whipping waiting for
them on Sunday

We will all miss him.

Akin Alabi

My only reservation about this is that Roman
should have done it before the season started
or waited till the end of the season.

This will surely rock Chelsea's title challenge.

No questions!

What clubs has Hiddink managed.

What are his achievements, compare them to JM.

He's achieved so much that even this whole page
cannot contain.

Won the champions league, gotten as far as the
semis in the world cup and more.

Anyway, this thread is not about Guus but about
Jose.

I-man:
There are very few I can think of . . . . .Ottmar Hitzfeld,Fabio Capello. .who else.I believe only Sir Alex was a better manager than Jose

Guus Hiddink has got ten times of the clout, experience,
tactical ability, man management than Jose can claim
to have.

There are loads of top managers out there.

I-man:
I believe this is the beginning of the end for Chelsea.Chelsea will never find a manager as good as Jose

That's a ridiculous assertion.

There are many world class managers who can do well
at the bridge.

Glad I got a ticket for the Man Utd Chelsea game
on Sunday.

Who will be in charge? Steve Clarke? 

3 points hopefully for United!

Jackal:
Where is AKOLA and Razorr?
This is going to be a CIRCUS.

I don't see it that way mate. Let's just
analyze it's implications to Chelsea's
title challenge and the premiership in
general.

Jackal:
Roman asked questions . . . . why Chelsea play drab football, why they sold just 24,000 tickets and why they cannot SCORE

That's very true. He cancelled a business
trip to hold the crisis meeting.

I got wind of it around 6pm but I had to
hang around to confirm it.

Like I said, so sad to see him go.

Akolawole:
What can i say?

This might be as a result of last friday's press conference.

You're right.

That is the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He indirectly or even directly classed his own signings
as second and third rate players.

Roman felt it's time to show who the boss is.

Like I said, I don't like him and I'm not a
Chelsea fan, but he's been fastastic for
Chelsea.

He's not been able to create an exciting
team I know, which is what Roman wants
but you can't take anything away from him.

He's been a great addition to English
football and we will all miss him.

I just left Stamford bridge now and it's no
longer news.

I'm my own source.

Just heard the "Special One" has been sacked. But
I also heard he parted by mutual agreement.

The fact is that Jose is no more Chelsea's manager.

Though I don't like him, I feel so sad to see him go.

He's been a fantastic addition to the premiership.

All the best Jose.

dachamp:
Manchester United vs Chel.

Blackburn vs Portsmouth

Bolton W. vs Tottenham H

Aston V. vs Everton

Barcelona vs Sevilla

AS Roma vs Juventus

These are difficult fix. for the weekend, any view on these matches ?

I'll decide that in a bit. Let me do a little review
of yesterday's bets.

I dey come

Wazza is a special talent. There is no question
about that.

He deserves all the accolades that come his
way.

lare:
I've done one today.

AC Milan bt Benfica

Real Madrid bt Weder Bremen

Charlton Bt Norwich

Aldershot Bt York City

£20 to win £104

Dammy

Good money you made there. I wish I'd done
it.

Lat's share ideas for today.

Good list. Don't agree with all though

United has a big chance of nicking
it. A draw won't be a bad result for
both sides though.

I just got my ticket. I can't wait.

Then you said Pires to replace Kanchelskis?

I can't consider that at all. If I'm to replace
Kanchelskis, I'll pick Ginola ahead of Pires.

ritchboi:
Yea,but i think i would replace zola with scholes,put pires on d right and shearer would definitely replace cantona,i mean d guy has scored about a hundred more goals than ANY other player in the premier league.UNBELEIVABLE,especialy when u luk at d calibre of strikers 2 hav graced it.

I thought about the Shearer issue but my 4-4-2
formation can allow only one top nine and one
supporting striker.

Henry takes the top nine spot. And there is no
way I can leave Cantona out.

It's really insulting on Shearer I know.

Here's is what my premiership team of all
time looks like. That is since 1992 when the
prmiership started till date.

I don't mean the best 11 playes that ever
played there, rather, I mean if I were to pick a
team, who would I put in?

That means, there can't be two goalkeepers
or two right full backs or two number 10s.

I picked this team based on a 4-4-2 formation.

Here we go

Goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel

Right Back: Lee Dixon

Left Back: Dennis Irwin

Central Defender : Marcel Desailly

Central Defender : Steve Bruce

Defensive Midfielder: Roy Keane

Central/Attacking Midfielder/Playmaker: Gianfranco Zola

Right Winger: Andrei Kanchelskis

Left Winger: Ryan Giggs

Supporting Striker: Eric Cantona

Top Striker: Thierry Henry

Does anyone agree with me?

Akinalabi,

Sorry, one more question!

Can u bet on just one game? Without betting on all the others on display?

What happens if you bet on, say, 3 or 4 matches and you win your bet on just one or 2 of the matches, would you still be paid based on the 2 bets you won, or would you lose all?

Abeg, no vex o, na you be the real don and mentor! And, that is not belittling all the other great posters on this thread!

Enjoy!!

You sure can bet on just one match. It's quite safe that
way.

You can accumulate them together. It brings more money
that way.

The danger is that if one fails, all your accumulator don
spoil be dat.

If you go through this thread well, you will notice where
I was "crying" when Man utd drew with reading. All the
others were correct.

Happy betting

dayo23:
No taribo west? na waohhhhhhhhh

Taribo West?

He's a central defender. He will have to
take out either Christian Chukwu or
Stephen Keshi.

Not in this world!

Virgin? No way! For wetin nah?

Newcastle v Liverpool 1996

Then

Milan vs Barcelona 1994

raylabel:
Chelsea V Blackburn 8/13 Home 13/8 Draw 7/1 Away

Let me get the full meaning of the above. I picked it from William Hill. For example: is 8/13 the same as 13/8?

8/13 means if you bet with £13 you will
win £8. So plus your £13, you will have
a total of £21.

It is different from 13/8. That means that
with £8, you will win £13 plus your £8
which is equal to £21.

That is how you will calculate all figures.

Happy betting

ritchboi:
No amokachi/amunike/kanu?Hmm,i no theres only room 4 2,but stil. . .Kanu in particular MUST b there.

Amokachi will have to take out Siasia. Well, you could argue that.

Amunike will have to take out Owolabi. That I will never agree

Kanu. I'm not sure where we will fix him. Top 9? No chance. That
one na Yekini. Central midfield? I'll go for Jay Jay.

Supporting striker? Maybe.

That means the supporting strikers role will be either Siasia,
Amokachi or Kanu.

So only one of them can make it.
