Speak of the devil... 'Almost is nothing' says Mourinho
5/25/08
Jose Mourinho has described Chelsea's season as 'really bad' and insists the London club's campaign could only be described as great by someone with 'the philosophy of a loser'.
The former Chelsea boss was speaking before his successor Avram Grant was sacked, but was critical of the 52-year-old Israeli's short stint in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho, when asked if the season had been a good one as depicted by Grant, told The Observer: 'That depends on your philosophy of leadership.
'In my philosophy it was a very bad one because in football 'almost' means defeat and Chelsea almost won the Carling Cup, almost won the Champions League and almost won the Premier League. Almost is nothing.

New Music...
5/24/08
Usher's new album will be out May 27th and it's definitely hot. The album is more vocal than others and at the same time doesn't fall behind beat wise. Overall, it's lyrically more mature, so no money, cash, hoes songs... Definitely something you can listen to with your girl and if you don't have one, it'll get you closer to achieving that.
It's hard to point out the best songs as most of them are really good, but if I have to highlight a few, here they are:
Love In This Club - Who doesn't know this?
Moving Mountains
Best Thing - All I'm gonna say is: Jay-Z!!
Love In This Club Part 2 with Beyonce and Lil Wayne - Hot!
Anyway... It's good music people!

Monta Soccer: Introducing Real Street Style
Street brand with talent and quite a bit of style, I actually ordered the Flamengo Orrie Polo and it's a good looking piece. Talent wise, they sponsor Street Legends such as Vaantje, Djudju, Orry, Wasi, the Pinto bros and Zaid, not to mention their freestylers who are ridiculous with the ball. Edgar Davids is the man behind the scenes, and these guys have already been all over the World with a TV show called Street Legends, where they faced local opponents wherever they landed. From Amsterdam to London, all the way to Rio.
You can check them out here: Monta

Robinho's Agent In London
5/22/08
The Blues may get a big gift after losing the CL final this past Wed. According to Spanish papers, the forward's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, is currently in London listening to offers. The price: £23 million. But apparently Chelski have got serious competition. Even though they were the first ones to show interest, the papers say the Red Devils as well as the Gunners are on to him already. However, if Robinho ends up at Stamford Bridge, the move would benfit Barcelona who are interested in the signing of Malouda, who in turn has manifested about his desire to leave England.

AC Milan target Drogba, Eto'o and Adebayor
One of the four. They are all perfect,"said AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.
He also said to expect 6-7 new signings to AC Milan and he refused to comment on the possibility of Ronaldinho playing for AC MIlan.
"He's a great champion and Milan always looks at champions, but whether he's coming is not a question to ask me."

Ronaldo is leaving?
Looks like a missed PK and crying over it does not turn away the Spanish giants. Real Madrid says that Man U cant stop things if Ronaldo wants to leave.
This is getting more and more dramatic by the minute. Fergueson says he stays. Rooney warns him to stay. Ronaldo says he makes no promises. My guess is he stays.
Is there room at Real for him anyway? How are you going to have Robben, Robinho, and Ronaldo on the pitch at the same time?
Anyway, full story is here.

The "Special" Report
5/21/08
A lot of us are wondering where, oh where will "The Special One" end up? My guess says Inter Milan, since Mancini has already stated he's done with them.... Talks of Lampard becoming a Nerazzuri.... It's all too coincidental and he'll probably bring Drogba, Essien and Carvalho along. I've also heard Man City, Valencia, Bayern Munich... But his ego is too big for any of them. So wherever he goes, I just hope he does it soon... Who doesn't miss this guy??
