Mourinho will be back at chelsea next season.

In other news, Barca believe that can get 4 back on Bayern today

That Won't happen.
Not only they're 4 goals behind, but also they aren't AC Milan ( which is a joke of its former self ).

But in Camp Nou, Barça will be very strong.
However, the 4 goals will be too much. Bayern can also score... and that means game over.

I feel that way too. Miracles usually only happen when Messi is NOT injured.

it's really unlikely. Barcelona are 8 points over Madrid and have like 4 more games. all they need are 4 points to seal it. They're getting the draw today, if not better.

I have been a hardcore valencia fan, and roma fan. I don't have a EPL pref though it may as well be Arsenal.

If Wenger had the balls to walk out over the purse stringing of the club, it would have won trophies recently. It kills me that management is happy to sit back and collect money for a 4th place finish (only 3.2 mil less than the 1st place finisher) and CL gate profits. If Arsenal lost that for a season, Kroenke and Gazidis would get run out of town, and Dein would be ushered back in on a Rolls Royce across a red carpet.The team went from recruiting the likes of Overmars, Henry, Pires, Viera, Fabregas and RVP, to Chamakh, Gervinho, Giroud, Nasri, Arshavin, Squillaci, Wellington Silva.

The best two signings over the past 6 years were Vermaelen and Koscielny. Kos wasn't even good for a while. And Vermaelen requests pink slips as much as Rosicky.

It's an interesting point. The current business model would certainly be faced with opposition from Dein though. Sacrificing players & club success for inflated transfer fees wouldn't sit as well with him as it does for Gazidis. Either way, I'd much rather David Dein at the helm.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see how Dein would have fared with the the circumstances post Highbury to date, ie New Stadium debt, Chelsea/Man C petrodollars, wages offered by these benefactor clubs. But yes, Dein is (was?, in view of his sell out and son's dealings) an Arsenal man, and I believe we miss him most as our man within the FA ranks.

Emmanuel Petit who we bought from Monaco was also a top player for Arsenal.

Anybody watching champion league matches tonight.

7:45 Real Sociedad v Manchester United Group A Estadio Anoeta
7:45 Shakhtar Donetsk v Bayer Leverkusen Group A Donbass Arena
7:45 FC Copenhagen v Galatasaray Group B Parkstadion
7:45 Juventus v Real Madrid Group B Juventus Stadium
7:45 Olympiakos v Benfica Group C Karaiskaki Stadium
7:45 Paris Saint-Germain v Anderlecht Group C Parc des Princes
7:45 Manchester City v CSKA Moscow Group D Etihad Stadium
7:45 Viktoria Plzen v Bayern Munich Group D Struncovy Sady Stadion

I think that most people will make the mistake of watch Juventus play Madrid, which should be a borefest. Juventus are living on a prayer and are going to bus park for a point.

Italian are notorious for parking the bus routine ,this is precisely the reason why the way goal was introduced to give the way team the incentive to score a goal rather then shut shop and wait for the home leg.

Italian team's are the masters of keeping a 1-0 lead and parking the proverbial bus in front the goal, that's why when you watch serie A games you rarely see a really attractive attacking football match to watch and often find youeself finding something else to do as their style of play is so negative and boring to see as a spectator.

Excellent result for us tonight, but it look's like it's going to the last game against Napoli to see who will top Group F

Great way to grind a result yesterday. Who do we have next, Marseille?

You are correct, next we have Marseille and then a hard trip to the Stadio San Paolo against Napoli.

With Higuain back, Napoli will not be easy. If we're able to blow Marseille out of the park, that will help us out big time.
