I think Hiddink will be another flop. I still feel Grant should have been given more time. He was a whisker away from the double.Originally Posted by charliepanayi
And thus the Man Utd v Liverpool battle-lines are drawn here
Chelsea supposedly looking to get Guus Hiddink as coach until the end of the season before they look for a permanent successor.
Hiddink can't be that much of a flop given he's only there on a caretaker basis. I don't think they expect him to win much, really. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Seriously, Avram Grant should have been given more time.
Anyway, I know its still early but I'd probably bring in Zola. I've admired the way he's run West Ham and he's a fan favourite. Plus, he actually CARES about the club.

Zola would be crazy to go to Chelsea this early in his managerial career, it'd be walking straight into the lion's mouth. Better to get some more experience over the next few years first.

Why is this thread dead?
WE SHOULD HAVE BEATEN THOSE ITALIANS TONIGHT
We'll take them back at Old Trafford. Inter & Italian football are overrated anyway.

Inter are overrated (in Europe anyway), Italian football is not, though it is nowhere near as good as it has been in the past. It's not totally dead though, it was only two seasons ago that Milan beat Man Utd and Liverpool to win the European Cup! Despite that Man Utd will beat Inter I think, Inter have flattered to deceive time and time again in the European Cup in recent years.
We didn't let in an away goal - good. But we should have won by more and I worry that in the second leg we'll be caught in two minds as to whether attack or to try and protect the lead. Still 1-0 is a decent scoreline.
Ways the season could get even worse for us:
- Get overtaken by Everton
- Lose to Burnley or Sheffield United/Hull in the FA Cup and waste a decent chance of a trophy
- Lose to Man Utd or Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final or final, in really agonising circumstances
- Baptista knocks us out of the European Cup.
- Man Utd win the Treble/Quadruple

Benitez out.
Great day. Great great day. It would complete my weekend if we won the Disney Cup. Pity Chelsea bored another team into submission at the end but I'll take this.
People may say Arsenal aren't doing too well at the moment, but I beg to differ. Another nine or so clean sheets, and we'll have Man Utd's record for not letting in any goals! XD - still, winning the European Cup should be a breeze of course. Boy, it's all coming up roses!

I feel that we've been unlucky as of late and so you might escape that. Losing Arteta for the rest of the season is a huge blow to us. We were terrible at West Brom yesterday without him.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
But...but...if you guys don't win the FA Cup, Man Utd or Chelsea will win it probablyI feel that we've been unlucky as of late and so you might escape that. Losing Arteta for the rest of the season is a huge blow to us. We were terrible at West Brom yesterday without him.

One down, three to go.

Sorry, Liverpool need that. If we don't win it, they'll fire Benitez and apparently they're lining up Jose Mourinho to replace him. And nobody wants that, do they? This is for the greater good.
