Now that the league has gone though they may opt to rest their main players for the next games to ensure that they are fresh for the final. I think on todays evidence though that Cisse's pace, and hopefully Milan's pace will really trouble them.

Good performance from a weakened team, Pelle can never be allowed to play again though.

and with Palace down we might get Johnson on the cheap if the rumours are true.

If we win the CL, and get a CL place for next year will City get a UEFA cup place?

I think that Rafa has shown, particularly with the Morientes transfer that he is a tough negotiator, Madrid wanted more money but just didn't get it.

Hopefully he has experimented enough with Gerrard this season to realise that the more attacking midfield position negates his true effectiveness. My line up for next season: ----------Reina-------------- Finnan--Carra--Upson--Riise-- ------Alonso--Gerrard-------- Joaquin----------------Garcia ----------Aimar------------- --------Morientes----------- Subs: Carson Warnock Hyypia Kewell Cisse

That is at least his third reality show, he was on American shows 'strange love' and 'the Surreal Life'. He was on the Surreal life with Brigitte Neilson, and apparently they got off with one another on the show. He sees this as his career now. From the bits that I have seen of him on the farm (didn't see either of the other two shows) I think that it is apparent that Chuck D was the real inspiration, still it is a pity to see a once great rapper who had something important to say sharing the same air space as the god awful Colin and Justin.

I vaguely remember Rafa saying when Pelle arrived that he was a potential future coach, I will be surprised if he isn't at the club next season.

There are so many that are poor, but the worst has to be Garth Crooks if only for his truly awful interview style. Of the new pundits I do like Niall Quinn and Strachan.

The one thing that I hope that Rafa remembers with all the rebuilding is that we still have good players in the youth team/reserves, would like to see John Welsh, Raven and Warnock get a real shot next season.

You might be right, there seemed to be a lot of waffle splitting the club from the supposed source of money.

Read the offy site, used to vote but got frustrated ages ago that the best players in the game weren't getting recognised so I stopped paying attention to it.

Ferdinand has friends near my house and I see him driving about and he thinks that he owns the road, a complete prick.

Totally feel sorry for the kid in the middle, but find it worrying that Chelsea are managing to sink even lower into their bag of dirty tricks than the ManUre scum.

We didn't get a clear answer re: L4's investment, the statement from the club was just that negotiations had finished.

Think that Aimar is class but a bit light weight and for that reason Rafa used to regularly rest him at Valencia. Given our lack of cash I think that Gerard might be an idea, he is available on a free and he has played for Rafa before. From what I have heard Andy Johnson is defo on his way, wouldn't mind if Routledge came with him, I think that he is out of contract as well.

He will re-sign for Arsenal but would love to see him at Anfield next season, especially after the job he did against Everton.

Just hope they do an Ipswich next season, they will probably be trying to sell Everton in the Championship bands this time next season.

Would love Carra to get a goal, but fancy that Cisse and Garcia will score in a 2-1 win.
