[yogic]

Apparently has made contact with Chelsea regarding the Managers job.

Options I see are;

Rijakaard

Mancini

Grant

Hiddink?

Advocat?

STAR ... any info ?

The Little General eh - I was wondering how long it would take for his name to be mentioned after Zenit's performance in the UEFA Cup.

Other than the UEFA run I have seen nothing of Zenit so can't comment too much on his time there but based on his time at Rangers I'm not convinced I want him as a long term Chelsea manager.

In some ways his time at Rangers was much like Jose's at Chelsea. Came in with a budget to spend which far exceeded his domestic rivals. Produced the goods at the start by delivering domestic trophies but by the time he left he had succeeded in building an unbalanced squad and allowing his rivals in his case Celtic) to catch up with them.

Yes (it's gross, but grandmothers like it for some reason). Only it's spelled "advocaat", just like the man's name

[dkw]

so if he was english would he be called richard whiskey? or richard alcopop....

His real name is Dirk, so why not Dirk Diggler?

[Valerie]

His first name is Dick

[Chelsea FC Champions]

His first name is Dick

yes real name is DICK ADVOCAAT

I would not want him because his first name is DICK!

[Maksimov]

Ummm...I'm pretty sure I've seen it from several sources that Dirk is his real first name.

Next you'll be telling me Jimmy is Hasselbaink's real first name.

[Chelsea FC Champions]

Full name:Dirk Nicolaas Advocaat

but on the top of wikipedia its DICK ADVOCAAT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Advocaat)

hmm...

[Chelsea FC Champions]

his job is on the line today!

if Inter don't win the Scudetto

he would be sacked!!

[loz]

Watching it at the moment. Inter haven't got out of the blocks yet and will strat to get worried soon as Roma are leading in their game.

[Chelsea FC Champions]

As it stands, Roma will win the Scudetto! Inter have to score over in Parma!

Start worrying then as Roma are 1-0 up.

[The Brit]

this is a test

[g3.7]

ibramovic scores. boooo

[dkw]

inter 1 up. zlatan scored. expect a certain forum member to explode in 5..4..3..2..1..

[Chelsea FC Champions]

GOAL! Ibrahimovic finds the target this time! His first touch is superb, taking the ball into his path before firing a right footer low and hard into the bottom left hand corner from 25 yards! Inter are back on course for the Scudetto!

AND

Mancini is "saved" but not just yet!

[g3.7]

and now he has 2.

so is that parma down and roma not winning the title? how tragic.

[Chelsea FC Champions]

2-0 IBRAHIMOVICH!

[Chelsea FC Champions]

GOAL! AND PROBABLY THE SCUDETTO! Maicon does really well on the left to deliver a cross to the far post... and who's there to volley home? Zlatan Ibrahimovic! What a performance off the bench! 2-0 Inter lead and it looks like the title is theirs....

[Gem]

This rumour is certainly gathering pace, all the media outlets now reporting it... just days before the cup final... no surprise there.
