I think the top 6 are more or less nailed on.....Chelski,Citeh,United,Arsenal,Spuds and Liverpool (hopefully,not in that order)
Chelsea will feel optimistic if Mourinho comes back,Pellegrini seems a decent enough boss for City,Moyes might find it difficult to live up to Fergies standards,Wenger might have one last throw of the dice to bring happiness to the Arsenal fans for the first time in nearly a decade,if the Spuds get a couple of decent strikers they could be challenging,depends who Liverpool replace Suarez with if they are to have a chance of the top four.

Incidentally,on Channel News Asia they were saying that Chelsea have offered Napoli 30m plus Torres for their striker Cavani.
Might be something in it as Chelsea have missed out on Falcao who has gone to Monaco and the new Napoli boss is Rafa Benitez.

Bizarrely, the Premier Leagues own website announced yesterday that Mourinho has been re-appointed Chelsea Manager, before being removed!

Announcement tomorrow methinks?

Well, I doubt anyone is reeling in shock!

But I still think this is not necessarily going to be the cakewalk many Chelsea fans assume - partly because of those very high expectations. It's arguable whether He achieved much at RM that no other manager could have achieved, given the resources at His disposal.
Will He still be the darling of the British football media? How will He react if the first half a dozen games don't go Chelsea's way? He's not exactly the most stable character in the game.

Having said that, with the departure of SAF, there's no doubt that His arrival will give most of us another object of derision! :laugh:
This is the way

Jose Mourinho has said on Spanish television that he expects to be reappointed as Chelsea manager by the end of the week.

What a wanker!

This is weird - official tyre partner in Thailand!

'Chelsea FC has continuously increased their fanbase in Thailand in recent years so Nitto Tire hopes to achieve the same, to increase our customer base, to become the Thai population's tyre brand at heart.'

Glad to see Dennis dressed for the occasion! I kind of get the impression he just happened to be around and they grabbed him for the photo-shoot!

The Times chief sport correspondent Matt Dickinson has his say on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich bringing Jose Mourinho back to manage Chelsea.

In his column for the newspaper, he says: "No-one was buying Jose Mourinho's guff yesterday about romance and a place in each other's hearts and this reunion being meant to be.

"Roman Abramovich's passion was for Pep Guardiola. Mourinho wanted Manchester United. For two men so accustomed to getting their own way, it must be disconcerting to be united in defeat."

Terry and co. with love from me to you... :D :thumb:

Mourinho revealed that before coming back to Chelsea, he was offered the Spurs job and was asked "As the Special One, can you get us above Arsenal?"He replied "I'm the Special One, not a fucking magician."
