Ok, I really cant escape soccer at the moment and after a kind of thrilling Champions League final I feel somewhat relieved. Do I really like Manchester United? No? Do I really like Chelsea? Why would I? So who do I like? I like 'The Special One'. It was Jose Mourinho and his ability and entertainment value that actually got me into English soccer in the first place and to see the team he built with passion and determination fail in Europe's biggest stage was in my humble opinion, JUSTICE! No on else should get credit for the team he built. Avram Grant really looks like he needs a fucking good ass sleep and quite honestly I dont like the douche bag as you may have read before.
Nonetheless, the way everything happened to Chelsea was almost as exciting as the result! Lets be honest now, that goal they scored was a fluke and shouldnt of happened, it was in a way their 'luck' that got them into the game. But to see Mr. Bigshot John Terry cry when that same luck turned on them and to see Didier Drogba lose his cool while Joe Cole and Ashley Cole couldnt keep their mouths shut was priceless and only accentuated what i said all along: THIS IS NOT A TEAM! Any goofball can sit and watch this high powered roster make a run at all the trophies but to really manage all these egos and actually win medals requires a solid 'team' mentality. This strength must be built on a purposeful mission that is guided by a cool, calm and confident demeanour, sort of like a Roger Federer in the soccer world; unfortunately they looked more like Andy Murray.
Soccer is over for now and I rest confident that Avram Grant and Roman Abromavitch have finally been served.
Jose, yor time is now! See you in Italy!

"FROM RUSSIA WITH LUST"!!!
Tonight is the glory of European football, the Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea! This is the ultimate showpiece and as one of million fans from all over the world I can only hope that this will be a game 'of no regrets' rather than a 'chess match'. With so many sub-plots,and the strength of Manchester United over Chelsea, this is sure to be a game of actual real football with Man U's strategy of 'winning the match' outpowering Chelsea's powering 'do not lose' mentality!
For me the 2 most important figures in this match are Cristiano Ronaldo and Avram Grant. Although Ronaldo has been near perfect this season and has led Man U to the title, he must put in a game-changing performance tonight to shut the critics up who rightly say he doesnt have 'big match' temperament. Holding that thought most of you know I dont think much of Avram Grant and quite frankly I hope he loses his job tomorrow; anyway, his acquisition of the brilliant team Mourinho built and simply keeping the train together with his 'lets try not to lose' mentality has actually spiralled backward from the entertaining football Abromavitch has called for - yes in my opinion he has killed the game and he will undoubtedly try to do the same tonight. He will be undoubtedly influential with his inability to match Ferguson in a swift game of tactics and substitution.
In any case, Ronaldo and company will simply outpower Chelsea and give us the final we deserve - with their unmatched team spirit and flair we are in for a treat of passion, magic and history. "From Russia With Lust" is the icing on the cake for United, 3-1 will be your score.

WHERE IS THE 'SPECIAL ONE'???
What can I say, Day 2 of our blog and all I can think about is Chelsea and Manchester United and the justice that was done with Manchester United's victory. To be quite honest I really like neither team (although I loved Chelsea under Mourinho)and think a salary cap will sort out the men from the boys.
In any case what really f***in irks me is how the hell Avram Grant can get any credit for Chelsea's performance this year??? He often talks about how he saved a 'sinking ship blah blah blah..." and how 'he turned it around blah blah blah....' but the truth is HE created the scenario that saw Mourinho leave in the first place. I mean this was the reason guys who were making 100,000 pounds a week started crying when they knew the coach they loved got stabbed in the back by Mr. Grant- so my argument is simple, you Mr. Grant created a situation so you better do something with this star-studded team that could probably do the same without a coach. In the end YOU DO NOT deserve credit for winning under the team Jose Mourinho built!
This is the team 'The Special One' built and once again justice was served with their 'non-win' in the Premier Leagus. Next year we will se what Mr. Avram can do when it really is his team. Personally, I think he is rubbish - nifty hey??
