I hope Rafa does well in Chelsea. Only thing that held him back while he was here was lack of the transfer moneys

di Matteo should be able to thrive in an enviroment where their key roles actually have players that equal the quality of the rest of the side. Wouldn't be too surprised if he replaced Allegri if Milan continue to stagnate. But it does look like things may be going in the correct direction for them.

Wouldn't say AVB > di Matteo at all. Based on merits, di Matteo won Chelsea the Champions League, when all the fans were just hoping for was to qualify, in 4th place. Villas-Boas couldn't get the same from the team. He isn't looking very sharp at Spurs at the moment, either. Inability to kill games off, not defending properly.

Take it your only basing this on his Porto run. He has that RDM has a champo league and FA cup trophy to his name.

Just sayin'

You're kidding right?

The guy spent a fucking fortune on shit. £20m on Agualani in his last season, Keane £19m the season before. Babel £11.5, Riera £8m, Dossena £7m.

Then there were big money signings like Torres, Johnson, Mascherano. The guy had plenty of money at his disposal.

Roberto wouldn't have got Chelsea out of the group stages last year tbh. How many games did he actually play? His route to the final was an embarrassment- they played like they did last night but somehow they kept clean sheets. Bayern tore Chelsea apart. But you're right, nobody remembers the runners up.

Now he's got some "flair" players, that defensive mentality has to be thrown out of the window. Hence the 3-0 and 2-0 loses away from home.

AVB's Porto side would have trampled on them too. Criminally underrated that side. It was like watching Shakhtar this season.

If that's not finished you off, then take a look at Roberto at MK Dons. Nearly as bad as Brendan at Reading. Lol.

I've been quoted three times by that twitter. But that shows how little substance that guy tweets seeing as it was the following.

"If he (Rafa Benitez) goes to Chelsea I hope they win the league."

"(Marouane Fellaini) He's a stoke version of Yaya Toure." (Didn't included the smiley I had posted but whatever...)

"I would love to see Suarez celebrates a goal with a dive" (I CAN TELL THE FUTURE )

I think AVB is a better coach than di Matteo and has a lot of potential. I do think AVB will come good in the long run, you simply do not go unbeaten in the Portuguese league and win the treble if you're shit. It's all about patience really, something Chelsea clearly don't have, luckily I think Levy will be patient regarding AVB.

I mean he's had to deal with our team without Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Dembele, Parker, Adebayor for most of the season and he has still managed to get us fighting for fourth. Dembele is back fit now, Parker is 2 weeks away, Adebayor is getting back in the team (although does now miss 3 games), when we have Kaboul and Ekotto back and everyone is fit we'll see what we're about.

Plus he also wanted Willian and Moutinho and if Levy weren't half assing it about with wages and money we'd probably of signed at least one of them, when AVB has the team he WANTS we'll see if he's good enough or not.

Guess he sold Xabi for fun then right?
