Was out so missed the final, but well done Inter and Jose.

Mourinho going to Real, will be very interesting to see how that goes, could be a great success but can just as easily see it all ending in tears.
I don't think they'll like Mourinho's style of play TBH.

They'll like anything that'll unseat Barca at the top TBH.

Then they'll sack him at the end of the year, because its Real.

One of the teams had a digital thermometer in their technical area, was touching 107F in the first half which off the top of my head is at least 40C, if 100F is 38C.
I saw that, but it was out in the sun. I've played tennis in 52C before, but that wasn't the actual temp.

Yeah or he will walk out, kind of hope he does.
Mourinho said his goals are to win the league in England, Italy, and Spain, and to be the first guy to win the CL with three different clubs, and so far he has 2/3, . If he does that after one or two seasons, then what next?

BTW he is on about 13m euro a season at Inter, so his departure will be saving the club money.

I would say it is probably the right move for him to be honest. He has achieved near enough all he ever could at Inter. Him having a crack at the Real job is a logical step, even if it does end in tears, which it has to be said seems like a distinct possibility. I imagine he will be a success if he does move, and the fans will almost certainly take some sort of exception to the type of football his teams play, but I think he might just have enough to avoid getting the sack for this reason. As already mentioned, some bust up with the club higher-ups leading to a premature exit is what is most likely, imho.

Good old Ibra who has stated in a Swedish magazine that he wouldn't want to play in England because he doesn't like the rain.

:laugh:

Must be a slow news day with the 54324565th report of Steven Gerrard leaving Liverpool and going to the new Champions of Europe.

well, Mourinho and Real, that's gonna be really really interesting. The Real fans always want their team to play offensive and attractive football but Mourinho is the master of defensive tactics. Can't imagine that all the Real fans will accept his playing style but time will tell. At the moment I don't think Jose will it make it to the end of the season.

Not sure about Porto but has he ever "built" a team

Winning the PL with Chelski is an overrated achievement considering how much was spent and he wasnt around for half of it

Inter have just won their zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz title in a row

Inter beat Barca after the latter spent a day on a bus and on the other 364 days of the year were no chance

Tbh, I've got my doubts and will wager plenty that Real will spend more than last year and still come up empty at home - club has no soul

By virtue of the fact that they beat them over two legs, this is evidently not the case.
