In fact this is worth a double celebration, Alonso renews and Rafa isn't coming!

Curses!

You're a fucking tool that nobody takes seriously worms. If the 'German posters' appear arrogant to you, they must have done something right. May they long continue.

Blut: Why are you wasting your time responding to that insufferable waste of space? He's not worth the typing time.

DOMINANCE and HUMILANCE

It's funny and true.

Both Madrid and Barca are a bit star struck these days and rely too heavily on their marquee players. Or it's the marquee players who only care about individual prices and goal scoring records. Either way, it's unhealthy. And it's not sustainable in modern football. There was an interesting analysis on Spox.com prior to the Dortmund - Madrid clashes showing Ronaldo basically doesn't do anything to help out the fullback, leaving a huge gap behind him that could be easily exploited.

If you see how Heynckes taught his primadonnas how to press and track back and work their arse off for the team over 90 and more minutes, it probably is about time someone does that to Ronaldo, too. Madrid have to leave their 'Galactico' days behind for good and start to build a proper team.

This is impressive, I never thought I would see Robben running back to help defend. Still, the bit about Madrid being galactico is a bit of cliche. Even Ronaldo tracks back sometime now. Jose has built a team, it's just not a footballing team in most aspects, so we get found out against the very best teams.

Our problem is not the lack of a strategy but perhaps a mismatch of players. Ozil works brilliantly on the counter with Ronaldo but aside from that he isn't too consistent. When Di Maria was on fire in the first half of last season he added more to the team because he was also a direct threat and he would deliver crosses as well. After the injury he hasn't been the same though.

Ronaldo not tracking back is nothing new but there is a plan behind that because he is then free on the counter and this has worked several times. If it was my team of course I wouldn't allow this but it has worked for us but against big teams, Barcelona aside, we need to compromise. But I don't see it as being a galatico thing.

Mourinho:

"Pepe's comments? It is very easy to analyse what he says. Pepe has a problem and his name is Raphael Varane," the Madrid coach stated at a press conference.

"A 31-year-old has lost his place to a 19-year-old. It’s the law of life. But who had the courage to field Varane? I did."

Mourinho then went on to explain his decision to drop Casillas in favour of Diego Lopez, stressing that it has nothing to do with any personal animosity between the pair.

"I like Diego Lopez more than Iker Casillas as a goalkeeper. This is not a personal decision, there is nothing bad between Iker and me," he continued.

"I like shot-stoppers who play well with their feet and who come off their line to collect crosses. Iker makes great saves between the posts, but I prefer a different type of goalkeeper."

And Alonso can go fuck himself. Are there even any favourites left in terms of coaches?

The Germans are well within their rights to celebrate being particularly awesome right now.

Germans, do you think having the longest winter break helped you rape the fuck out of barca which makes their gloryhunting fans on here act like a bunch of c**ts?

Problem is that I never said any of the nonsense you're pulling out of your arse worms. You truly are a miserable cretin. If it wasn't for the unintentional entertainment you provide every time you say 'we' when you're referring to clubs that you have no connection to whatsoever, you'd be the Euroboard equivalent to a vacuum. Even the trolling attempts are just miserable. In a few years when this board is gone for good, do you think anyone will remember you or anything that was written by you? Hell, people even remember the likes of lrd or waft, because they were at least original in their own twisted ways. You're nothing trying hard to be something.

Could be. There is a suspicion that the winter break particularly helps in the international tournaments. However, Spain won the last three without any of their players enjoying a winter break, so I'm not entirely sure how much of a factor it really is.

Playing football on frozen pitches isn't really fun though. Germany isn't exactly blessed with the nice climate of Spain...

Jose is such a little fucker, he is like poison to any dressing room he enters when things start turning sour, any manager that replaces him needs to get rid of all the players who like him or they will continue his poison .

Luckily the real players where winners before him so they didn't allow him to get into their minds like the losers at the other clubs he coached.

The problem with this graphic is that it does not include Diego Lopez's numbers from Sevilla because he was pretty poor there and even Palop had put him on the bench. Which is to say that goalkeepers can go through a bad moment and then regain their form. I have no problem that Diego Lopez is still the #1 because he has come in and played well and Casillas needs to wait his turn. The same with Pepe/Varane. But you are kidding yourself if you think that there is nothing more than that. Jose has had it in for Casillas ever since he tried to make peace with Xavi after the Supercopa when Jose stuck a finger in Pito's cancer filled eye.

Just realized that Carlo said no, so its rafa then, no other manager out there.

If any of that is true a Curse may be required. The situatIon will be carefully observed.

Kodak's been on the decline for a while now, didn't adapt to the modern times etc

Hmmmm true I remember him being so poor that RM set a record for points last year in the league. I also remember him being on the bench when Adan saved two penalties in the shootout against Bayern in the CL semifinals and wasn't it VALDES SELECCION who lifted the trophy at the Euros last summer?

If only Chelsea had got rid of Drogba before he won them the CL last year

Think before you write nonsense ;0

I was trying the obscure connection to the real Kodak and how they declined by not embracing the digital age. Cassilas is a great keeper but he should have embraced the modern age, i.e. learning to kick the ball. Goalkeepers who can't play in midfield are shit innit

Fair although Valdes is "great" with his feet and look where that gets him on a regular basis:

I am not sure whether it helps the international tournaments myself, as I would think it has more to do with total number of games played during the year. However the timing of a long winter break might help the second half of the season. Anyway just wondered if the Germans thought they were stronger because of it and whether it was a factor in the recent improved showing of German teams in European competition.

So Jose wanted to bring Diego Lopez after his first season but here in 2011 we have Jose asking for Iker to win the Balon de Oro because he is the best.

Publically shitting on your players? Nobody does it better than Mourinho...

The full quote:

"Pepe's problem is easy to analyse: it's called Varane. It's hard to be a 31 year old and be steamrollered by a 19-year-old kid [Raphaël Varane] but that's the law of life. There must be very few people who don't think the future is [Sergio] Ramos and Varane.

I make a very bold bet that will probably come back to bite me in the arse, but I don't think that Mourinho is going to win another CL title.

DANG! Mourinho took Pepe behind the shed, didn't he!

Pepe had it coming for supporting Iker "the mole" Casillas.

The whole novela has been handled horribly. Casillas should never had told his girlfriend what goes on in the club. Pussywhipped guys are worthless and Mourinho thinks the same!

Aguanta Mourinho! Just a few more games left!

I'm not a Mourinho fan, but Casillas's behaviour is absurd and in the end he will find out how his girlfriend played him like a piano. TFS!

Mourinho absolutely sh*tted on Pepe

Its unfortunate that Jose has to burn all bridges before he leaves, it will ultimately overshadow his achievements at Real.

@Blut

I agree I don't see Mourinho winning another CL title, especially if he moves back to Chelsea.

I think the dressing rooms of Porto and Chelsea were firmly behind him. What I really admire about Jose, is that he even managed to win & unite Inter's divided dressing room, which has stumped many a coach in the past. He got the senators behind him, he got the argies, brasilians, italians, etc working in the same direction. Maybe only Inter fans can really appreciate what a great feat that is.

So what happened at Madrid is the exception, where some players like Casillas, Pepe, etc are clashing with him. Maybe they are the problem?

I've said this before. Every single player in the squad has problems with Jose at this point. The only exceptions are Khedira and Essien. It's even come out in the last couple days that Alonso who has been one of his staunch supporters in the dressing room thinks that his last tirade against Casillas went too far. The situation is completely the opposite of what happened at Porto, Chelsea, and Inter. There won't be anyone in the team next year who is calling him 'daddy'.

Bluey
I'm a staunch Mourinhonista but this one is more on Mourinho than on the players. The reason I want Mourinho out is that he basically lost the dressing room last season and then we got the season straight and won the league. I hoped that was the end of it but from the start of the season it seems it has gotten worse. I was hoping Mourinho could do for Real Madrid what did for Inter/Chelsea/Porto but it just hasn't worked out. There is just something about the club that doesn't make it conducive to managers of a certain mindset. I remember Capello losing his mind at the club as well.

Blut you are an arrogant insufferable xenophobic c**t. Just last week you called me 'thick' for saying what every non German thinks, that Dante is better than both Badstuber and Boeting, as well as Ribery being better than Reus etc. That was before I ever insulted you. You take offense and get nasty if anybody dares to criticize or fairly judge German players compared to other players. So don't try and paint me as the bad guy here.

I may prefer Spanish teams and players but at least I can be somewhat objective and honest when comparing them to players of other nationalities. You on the other hand can not.

So at least try and hide your bias and most of all get some new fucking material boring arse.

Hey 10%, has a Spaniard abused your wife or something ? No offense.

Reus & Mueller are both better than Ribery, but Dante is indeed better than any German defender right now...

I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me, it's when people call me thick and get angry because I dare to have my own opinion between German and non-German players, also he tried to twist my argument in the process to make it look like I was trying to make a completed different point than the one I was making.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....so SAF is retiring. Jose's dream job is gonna be vacant this summer and now he wants to make sure Florentino gives him the sack. How simple.
