Lol...Brady a second class player.

Better go to Juventus and tell them that....

Three European semi-finals for Jose at Chelsea and three defeats. It wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for Abramovich to start thinking about other managers.

I think both he and Terry were still shipping injuries.

Mourinho is the 1st coach to be knocked out in four straight Champions League semi-finals (Leo Beenhakker lost 3 in a row with Real Madrid).

Barr

The goal before half time was a killer for Chelsea. Hope AM win the final now.

on a positive note (straws.. grasping!!!) I'll be able to watch final in a relaxed neutral way

I assume that you've never watched AM Stoke before? They play very very similar to Chelsea.

Over rated player and a total failure as a manager. As a pundit he makes a great cup of tea I believe though.

If that's the way RA is thinking, he might as well leave the stage himself.

Nope, the team is in transition. Lampard is basically gone. Matic cup-tied. Luiz and Ramires are not up to it. Chelsea will be more solid next season with Matic playing an influential role.

Atletico were excellent, fair play. Final should be a great game, would be happy to see either Atletico or Real Madrid win it.

As an earlier poster pointed out though, this thread can really be held up as an example of what is wrong with this forum. So little actual analysis of the game. So much stupidity. Some people need to think about what their posts actually add to this forum.

I hate this quote.
Do you know what a good loser is????
Its when you lose, you take it on the chin, and dont bitch and moan like a ten year old, and blame everyone else, and never look in the mirror.

Last night bayern Munich players and management, took their defeat. Good losers.
And in fairness, by the looks of things, same with chelsea tonight, good losers. But during the season chelsea were not good losers on a few occasions.

Dee-lighted with the result, only saw first half, looked very even

Gilesy and Brady talking sense.
Jose's behaviour is awful. Clown Bill

Brady's animus against Chelsea is a joke at this stage. Chelsea have eclipsed Arsenal since Mou arrived on the scene. Brady is just bitter.

Atletico have been my favourite Spanish team for a while, since Torres, Aguero and Maxi played for them. However I just can't warm to this team as much for some reason since Falcao left. Maybe it's because of Costa being their figurehead and the players on the team across town producing some fantastic football, but this is one of the rare occasions where I'll be happy for whoever wins it so looking forward a lot to the final.

I am not even a gunners fan, but I saw a lot of Brady in the flesh during his playing days at Highbury, and I can tell you that if he was playing today he would be worth 60-70m in the transfer market, you are either way too young to remember how good he was or you are extremely bitter

Wonder has Jose rang his wife the result yet?

The better team certainly won on the night. It's a shame for us really, going 1-0 it seemed perfectly set up for Mourinho to do what he does but even at 1-0 we never adopted the same shape we had away in Madrid or against Liverpool at the weekend. That is the one disappointment for me tonight.

There's obviously work to be done for next season. Tonight is the standard that must be reached and at the moment we are carrying too many players. Courtois, Matic, Costa and another centre back and suddenly we look much stronger.

That would actually be a step down for him.
I don't he would leave Athleti for anyone atm. He's broken the Barca/Real duopoly in La Liga and has got to the CL final. He will want to build on this season and push on imo.

It's gonna be tough when he's losing a few players. Costa may go and Courtois may not be back.

Don't see Chelsea coming out of the Summer with both Courtois and Costa unless they offer a crapload of money for Costa. Atletico will look for Courtois in any deal I'd say.

Maybe I'm splitting hairs but I think Abramovic is more responsible for the eclipse than Mourinho

Great stuff altogether, focus on the league there now lads, pray Liverpool make a balls of it

Really? Given the amount of Champions League winners in that squad plus the millions spent on new recruits, the least Chelsea should be doing is getting this far imo.

Brady's a player like Mata, he and Jose would have very different footballing philosophies.

Arsenal had their own problems. It's not like Jose is responsible for everything.

The key word in your post is 'may'.

Even if they both go, he has shown in the past he can lose his best players and still improve, like the loss of Falcao.
