    I'm guessing he's not talking about Barça.

    (Highly joking and would never happen) - but if we appointed José Mourinho, I think I'd spontaneously combust.

    I don't want think I'd want him. Turns every club he manages into pariahs and his players into paranoid "them and us" zealots. Might get results but I prefer the friendly "everyone's second team" southampton way.

    Tancredi tweeting that Mourinho has been promised a hit-list of players to lure him back to Chelsea.

    There are four. Falcao, Di Maria, Moutinho and Pepe.

    It's a good story, but really, how can this be true? Those four would cost upwards of £100m to start off with, and who's to say Pepe would want to leave Real, or that Falcao won't get a better offer from someone else?

    How dare they, Falcao is coming here!

    Let's face it, Chelsea could spend 100m if they wanted to.

    Yeah, I mean Abramovich can say he'll support Mourinho in bidding for those players, but no way can he guarantee he'll get them. I can see them getting Falcao, and that itself is a terrifying thought, and Moutinho shouldn't be too difficult to obtain, but I'd be surprised if they got the other two.

    You can only get 16/1 on Barcelona progressing to the Final for tonight's game....Ludicrous.

    Wonder how Bayern will approach it, they can stall like Dortmund did yesterday but if they attack and get a goal then Barcelona need six...

    Well, they already need four...

    Bayern surprised a lot of people by attacking Barcelona in the first leg, so they'll probably start off that way again, but if they concede first they'll probably park the bus. Barcelona will have to throw everything into attack so Bayern will have a lot of space to counter. I can't really see any way Barcelona can do it.

    Particularly because they were so badly outplayed in the first leg.

    I think it's going to be good to watch, I think Barca will get a couple of goals lead, but end up conceding because they are throwing so much forward. Just in case anyone needs reminding what the wee man can do, here's this peach from the weekend.

    I think Barcelona will get destroyed again if they go too attacking from the start.

    That was worthy of Jason Puncheon. Fantastic strike. Barcelona are gone now.

    Someone was mentioning about one-footed players the other day. Well, Muller was just through a moment ago, and checked back because he would otherwise have had to shoot with his weaker foot. It's better to have a two footed player on the whole, in my opinion.
