Jose Mourinho has every right to talk in my opinion. No other manager has had as much success as he had nor has the past 3 managers lasted as long at the helm. Still don't understand Abramovich's reason on sacking him. Abramovich wanted immediate success after putting the amount of money he did into the club, and Mourinho delivered 2 consecutive premiership titles and other cups as well. It's going to be mixed in terms of reception, but the match isn't about him. Both clubs know what to expect come Tuesday. Italian clubs struggle in England as Chelsea diced Juventus to shreds last time an Italian club visited Stamford Bridge. I look for Inter to put on the pressure, but Chelsea will play harder, better, faster, stronger...oh...lol I mean Chelsea will pull out a win.

After Real's embarrassing knockout of CL, manager Maunel Pelligrini looks to on the hot seat. News already are up stating Arsene Wenger is Madrid's target like for the past 2 years. What exactly does Florentino Perez want from Pelligrini? Success? Their tops in La Liga after 25 rounds by goal differential over Barca. I thought the goal was to outdo Barca. Well, they are right now so why are they looking to sack him? Wenger already insisted he will reject any offers regarding managerial positions up until his contract at Arsenal expires in 2011. If Pelligrini can win La Liga, that should be able to salvage his job.

About Los Galacticos? Well, they're destined for medicracy. With those players and 240million euros spent, you expected much much more but they're current point tally is mediocre. Pips has a point. Chelsea is an example of money being able to buy success, while Real is an example stating money can't and didn't buy success. Lyon lost Karim Benzema and free kick legend Juninho and still lost. *shakes head..tells you much about both clubs.
