And Mourinho is available too :-)

September 20th, 2007 | By: Jan | 13 Comments »

Just kiddin’… But the Chosen One or whatever he thinks of himself has thrown in the towel. In mutual agreement, according to the official press releases. Mourinho informed Drogba, Terry and Lampard that he would give his contract back. The pressure was on already. Chelsea found itself in the 5th position in the standings after six games and Abramovitsch wasn’t happy with the lack of European prices (meaning the Champions League).

Mourinho did beat Jol, so to speak…

Avram Grant, the former Israel team manager and personal friend of Chelsea owner Abramovitsch, will take over. Grant was already the Director of Football Affairs or something or other… It’s not clear whether he’ll take the job permanently or that it’s a interim-role.

Rumours that Guus Hiddink is high on the list are circling in London for some time already.

I was very surprised to hear it too, and then I read this article:

http://goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=420237

And it started to click. Maybe Portugal is getting tired of that asshole Scolari, and that attempted punch was just the last straw. And who better to replace him than Portugal’s own ‘Special One’, who one day said he hoped to coach Portugal.

One thing that made me laugh though was this line:
“A Brazilian hothead (Scolari)… had besmirched Portuguese honour with a savage loss of cool while wearing the national emblem.”
Yeah, because the Portuguese are certainly known for keeping cool heads! Hahaha!

Hell for Goose is a place where Nigel de Jong, Christiano Ronaldo, Denny Landzaat play in one team with Henk ten Cate as their coach. And Goose will be appointed masseur. And all of the boys suffer from groin injuries :-) .

Goose, Massage please!!!

Hahahahahaha

Yeah, we weren’t completely innocent either, but I attribute it to retribution for all the dirty fouls from Portugal, as well as the hate that exists between those two teams. (somewhat naive, but I don’t think anyone would say Holland compares to Portugal when it comes to being a dirty team).

I also enjoyed seeing Ronaldo crying like a baby. Boula is a mean s.o.b. too though.

i enjoy too to see this retarded little boy crying. boulah did a very nice and professional job tackling him. just like it has to be done: not too bad but bad enough for not finishing the game. c.ronaldo deserved it. and figo… i really-really hate him. he’s an actor.

nice video,goose:-)))

What’s wrong with you? A nice little grudge against Portugal? Good, people only envy us when we’re good. That’s probably the reason why everybody gets some bias from the refs now and then and we don’t (e. g. clear off-side Portugal vs Serbia game – no wonder we lose our temper now and then). And yet, we go on, much to your disappointment, which makes me laugh at your ridiculous comments.

Haha, well said Goose! We do hate the Portuguese team, and you guys are the tops at diving, cheating, whining, wanking, etc.

But for me, my hatred is not only because you guys beat us the last couple of times. I also have personal experience playing with 2 different Portuguese teams (teams made up mostly of Portuguese players), and I can say from personal experience that they are the most hot-headed and dirty players I’ve ever played with.

Oh yeah Paulo, there is a big difference between envy and hatred. You guys have some good players, but I wouldn’t trade any of them for our Dutch players. Don’t get the two confused.
