Today's football.

Thats a hell of a stretch Del. That was a decent Inter team that was an incorrect offside away from possibly going out. The first leg performance was very very good by Chelsea. Mourinho got it spot on.

I personally don't think that one success was as good as the truckload of success Pep had, sorry. The 5-0 vs Madrid was as good as gets at the highest level. The 6-2 wasn't so bad either.

Didn't Inter play with 10 men for like one hour after Motta was wrongly sent off?

Winning a treble with that Inter side which includes the CL and beating a Barca side that were the best in Europe is the better feat imo

A very good feat, but creating a side that will go down as close to...if not the....greatest to play the game is something that hasn't really been seen since Sacchis Milan. I don't think that one amazing season matches that.

Anyways....agree to disagree and all that. I have no clue who will win the title now.

Carragher has raised a good point over Cahill. He's done much better at Chelsea than I ever thought he'd do.

Jose also makes sure that every player knows his role and will also gives 110%.

No, he got sent off for raising his hands and was already on a yellow. Really really dumb of him.

All people remember is Busquets play-acting, so that gets confused a lot.

City aren't great defensively apart from Kompany and Demichelis is no holding midfielder. If you can keep them out, which is made easier with Aguero out and Negredo not being fully fit, they're beatable.

I'd wanted City to win really because I think Chelsea are more catchable but it leaves us 8 points off second. At the weekend I'd expect City to win at Norwich and Chelsea to beat Newcastle at Stamford Bridge. Hopefully Liverpool won't do much at home to Arsenal and we can beat Spurs to leapfrog the RS and put a 4 point cushion between us and Tottenham.

Jose not got his reputation for nothing, he showed tonight why he a winner AGAIN. Cannot believe Man u didn't even fight for him, well Moyes was the chosen one.

Moyes is a caveman. He's a meat and potatoes stamina-based drill sergeant with an eye at Everton for bringing in good sorts with the right attitude.

I'm still staggered that United employed him. An analogue manager in a digital age etc etc...

Was talking to a United fan today in work about the importance of mentality and what you can get out of your players, said that if Mourinho was at United instead of Moyes he'd have them two or three places higher up the table because of the work he gets out of players and the mentality he instills.

I still think Arsenal might get dragged back into the mix with Chelsea and City pulling away on their own.

Just what Mourinho's ego needed, this result.

He commands and demands respect.....it's hard to see how Moyes can ask the same. He will have to earn it there, and it doesn't look like he is capable.

At least we traded up........

Martinez will be in this company managing games at this level in the next five years. No question in my mind.

He won't be the happy one anymore he will be the special one again. Made up he back in the premiership.
