Welcome back everyone,
It's time to answer The Postman's Question of the Week by 3pm on Monday.
We will then choose the Letter of the Week winner, who will get $250 worth of Lotto sports gear - for men or women - from top to bottom, with football boots or turf shoes (seen here).
Last week, readers of The New Paper argued over a conspiracy theory suggested over the rifts between Chelsea's manager Jose Mourinho and the club's Russian sugar daddy, Roman Abramovich.
But after Chelsea's Carling Cup semi-final shock 1-1 draw with lowly Wycombe Wanderers in midweek, Mourinho seemed to publicly hint at tensions between himself and the Chelsea board.
After the game, he confirmed he had identified players he wanted, but did not expect the club to make signings.
Asked for the reasons, he replied: "I don't have to tell you the reasons. It's club reasons. I think our squad will be the same when the market closes."
Manchester City's Micah Richards and Bolton's Tal Ben Haim are among defenders that Chelsea have reportedly asked about.
But when asked about buying players, the usually ultra-confident Mourinho replied: "It's not my club, I'm just the manager."
Does that sound like a concession of defeat somewhat?
Indeed, love him or hate him, Mourinho has certainly spiced up the English Premier League (EPL) in the past two years since he arrived from Portugal.
The Postman's Question: Will the EPL be less colourful and more boring without Mourinho, or would it be better off without someone like him and the sometimes contradicting principles he has shown?

Ok, I just beat ladylala to be the first poster, HAHAHAhA.
On a serious note, I've highlighted my disappointment on the possibility of this occuring in the earlier discussion.
Yes, it does sound that there seems to be a straining in relationship between the board and Jose. But we, at CFCnet, have had massive discussions about this issue, and most of us seem to come to the conclusion that its most likely a straining of relationship with Arnesen. Second most probable would be Peter Kenyon and the board. 3rd would be the big Russian boss himself.
I think everyone will have pretty much the same answer. We all either love him (like us Chelsea fans) or love to hate him. Either way, we want him in the premiership, because of what he brings to the premiership, be it on-field or off-field. He is a top manager and a top person. Even Sir Alex Ferguson wants him to stay. It says a lot about him and his personality, don't it? I believe, Ernest, you would want him to stay too, right?
Cheers all.
Love him or loathe him, Mourinho deserves respect. He is, without doubt, one of the best managers in world football.
We should only need to look back at the period pre-Mourinho to realize how much of an impact he has made in the EPL in such a short period.
His arrival was the breath of fresh air the EPL needed after Arsenal’s and Man United’s decade long stranglehold on the title. His confidence and petulant arrogance grabbed attentions everywhere.
Who can ever forget his declaration of being “The Special One”. He virtually guaranteed Chelsea their first EPL title in his first season and he certainly backed up his claims by romping home to the championship in style.
Mourinho has raised standards with his achievements. In a way, he has forced other teams trying to catch Chelsea to improve by setting the bar high.
He certainly brings a lot of publicity to the EPL with his antics and statements. And that could be only good for the EPL even if it meant rooting for Chelsea to fall flat on their face, which doesn’t happen often.
Despite all the controversies and antics, the EPL needs personalities like Mourinho. He will be missed.
Mourinho's recent forlorn face best represents Chelsea's lacklustre performance for the past few weeks. 43-year-old Mourinho is looking more like his 65-year-old counterpart nowadays. EPL will never be the same without the presence of the Special One.
When Mourinho speaks, everyone listens. This is the guy who revolutionized post-match interviews. His words carry power - remember Anders Frisk? In his dictionary, title-winning is spelt as C-O-N-S-I-S-T-E-N-C-Y. Which manager in the world would boldly predict, and proceed to achieve league success in his first season? Some managers might be first-time lucky, but Mourinho is either twice lucky, or an extraordinary manager.
4 successive league titles in 2 different leagues is not an easy feat. His critics might argue that it boils down to the Russian roubles, but what about his Porto days?
Recall the bus analogy, Arsene the voyeur, the "slave" comment and many other anecdotes. He practically preaches in his interviews. This controversial manager is well-loved by his supporters and well-respected by his opponents.
His managerial career can be summed up by his own comment, "I'm here to win titles, not friends." Everyone associated with EPL will miss him!
One have to admit somehow Mourinho had made the job of football managers more colorful and he does brighten up the English football scene with his own management style.Mourinho can easily amused,anger,saddens,excites and irritates anyone,anytime,anywhere.
If he leaves Chelsea at the end of the season,we will not only witness the departure of one top class manager but also losing those controversies he will sure to create throughout a season.
Although before he came to EPL,we have the regular boxers in the ring in the form of Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex but the Mourinho just bring the mind games and the duels between the managers to another level.Anyway the fights between Wenger and Sir Alex have become so mandane they don't even find it meaningful to carry on further.
I will likened Mourinho to an ingredient which a cook can used for if hes looking to mix all flavours into his dish.With such a Special spices,how can a cook live without it?Without him,less colorful?Less tasteful?Oh definately.
Cheers
What was that thing Iain Macintosh wrote recently? Something about how when he speaks people crowd around the TV, animals run into the forest and clouds gather in the sky?
Are you telling me football would be better without that? The man's like a James Bond baddie!
Mourinho had achieve great things at Chelsea which many managers (less SAF, of course) would love to be in his shoes. I think he is one of the manager that has a ego bigger than his players which is very important for him to uphold the respect he needed from the squad. While I do not like like his arrogance, I do respect him as a great manager. So, EPL is definitely a less exciting place without a competitive manager like Jose. But, if he does leave Chelsea at the end of the season, i do hope he would take over SAF at Man Utd should the latter retires after achieving another treble! ha ha!! i don't think there will ever be another manager able to manage big egos of Ronaldo & Rooney in the world currently.
Yes, the EPL will be less colourful and more boring without Jose Mourinho.
Think about all the controversies he created. Putting his pointer finger to his mouth against Liverpool fans, calling Arsene Wenger a 'vouyuer', those excessive goal celebrations, funny press conferences and many more. Jose Mourinho has also been voted 'Sexiest Manager' by some magazines. They say he's the 'David Beckham' of managers....
Ernest Luis, tell me why I'm not invited to any letter winners party. I won one in September!
To Be Continued
Witty, charismatic, confident, arrogant, shrewd, crafty, controversial. Jose Mourinho, the current EPL poster boy is all that and more.
He arrived at Chelsea 2 and a half years ago with obviously no sign of an inferiority complex, announcing his arrival with his immodest self-proclamation of being the “Special One”. After years of seeing old veterans and rivals Wenger and Fergie battling it away at the top, many of us couldn’t help turning our heads to this Premiership newbie who had the audacity to make such a proclamation.
Since then, without ever changing the cocky attitude of his, the Special One has not just overseen a radical power shift in the Premiership, but also stirred all sorts of emotions in the average EPL fan with his antics and priceless quotes. He made me laugh with the “voyeur” incident with Wenger, he sent my opinion of him to an all-time low with the Anders Frisk incident; and more often than not, I found myself moaning about Moanrinho moaning.
To say the EPL would never be the same again without Mourinho would be a gross exaggeration that would only serve to needlessly inflate his already oversized ego. After all, the EPL is more than just about one man, albeit a rather “special” man. But truly, Jose Mourinho is such a colourful character who everyone either loves, or loves to loathe, and like a certain Borat, he just adds lots of spice to this community with his controversy.
cfcfan... :D
You just had to be first when it's a Chelsea topic, right? Anyway I had school and was just too dead tired after it...
David Beckham moved to an MLS Club. What is he going to teach the Americans. How to take free kicks, crosses and corners properly. And yes, Victoria used to sit outside Wisma Atria.
I think the EPL will be less colourful and more boring without Jose as he is a very good coach and he protects his players from the media and without him,the EPL will be less competitive and Chelsea would not win games like they had did in previous seasons.Like Fergie said "I would be disappointed if Jose leaves". He also add that Jose has a good personality and he enjoys the competition against him.Even if Guus or Deschanps takes over,Roman may not agree on who to buy like the rift that Jose and Roman had about Richards,Ben Hain and Villa.If Jose goes to Inter,I think that they would clinch the Serie A title easily.Jose cannot work with Roman's disagreements.So I would say to Roman,"Let Jose do his job".
Jose Mourinho only needs John Terry back. Without Terry, Chelsea's defence is spineless. Ricardo Carvalho NEEDS his partner John Terry to eliminate the opposition's attack.
ANSWER MY QUESTION ERNEST
Not so long before Mourinho joined Chelsea, we were already given a preview of his colourful personality. Not many would have danced up and down the touchline at OLD TRAFFORD (of all places) after knocking Utd out of the Champs League. Since then, his cardwaving antics, witty statements, exuberent goal celebrations and even his expressions has been entrenched in EPL folklore. Who will ever forget the day he shook Fergie's hand 2 minutes before fulltime last season at Stamford Bridge. 2 seasons back before Mourinho came, someone doing that to the Old Knight was unthinkable. His serious lack of sportsmanship at times coupled with constant whinings can get irritating but we have to accept that he has certainly been one of the reasons thats why EPL has been more entertaining ever since his arrival.
He will certainly be missed and i certainly hope he stays (from a neutral perspective.)
Cheers,
kel
Well if the EPL is without Jose Mourinho, I think it would be better.
I'm not trying to be biased, but seriously, can you stand a manager who is forever hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons? This will have a very negative effect on the Beautiful Game.
Yes, without Mourinho, the EPL would be less colourful and exciting, but for the sake of the game, I rather not have someone like him.
After all, the colourful and exciting thing about soccer should be the 90 mins on the pitch with 22 players chasing for 1 ball. Not the media blabbering about Jose Mourinho and his critical comments!
Jose's imminent departure may devoid the EPL of his colorful comments and antics but would Chelsea be better off without him?
He has made Chelsea a force to be reckoned with in the EPL and in Europe. Whether Chelsea is able to continue the consistency of excellence is debatable once Jose leaves.
The past few seasons have seen Chelsea dominating and running away with the championship. This undoubtedly was down to Mourinho. Jose leaving may contribute to a more open title race next season, given that the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Man United have all improved. Hence, the EPL could become more exciting than ever without Chelsea's dominance.
The cracks are already starting to show, with egos clashing over players not pulling their weight on the field. This could benefit their rivals who are sick of Chelsea’s financial muscle and aura of invincibility. A declining Chelsea will allow teams to close the gap and make the league more exciting and competitive.
It would certainly be good to see a more open title race with more teams vying for the championship. While we may miss Jose’s personality, he leaving could actually be good for the EPL.
Hi q-s,
Just like you, there are more Letter of the Week winners who weren't invited for our photo shoot.
It wasn't a party by the way.
It was a photo shoot for readers, and we chose the lot simply because they fit the categories and cross-secton we wanted to feature, not because they were previous winners.
Cheers,
The Postman
Oh, 'thanks' for the answer, Ernest. Guess I wasn't 'good-looking enough' for The New Paper, eh. Maybe, you people should get cameramen that can take better angles. Only stupid people thinks I'm ugly.
Funny how people said that Jose leaving would make the EPL more entertaining, when before he came, it has always been a two horse race. Not any different from now. Only of course, United won most of the time coz they're more consistent than Arsenal. Now that Chelsea's more consistent than United (usually), its not fair? Hmm.
I think everything else remaining the same (ceteris paribus!), the EPL would be more boring without Jose. But then again, if Jose's departure means a more competitive league, old rivals like Wenger and Fergie having more pizza fights, or a new Jose clone appearing somewhere, the League can still be as entertaining, if not more. The EPL before Jose arrived was already considered the most exciting league in the world, and it wasn't because of off-the-pitch "entertainment" from managers, though there was some element of that too.
I am like Jose Mourinho. My attitude towards life is one of a kind like him. Mourinho has League Championships to back his talk. What do I have. A Letter Of The Week. That's why I need to win Letter Of The Month to back my talk. Look at all my previous posts from Day 1. You think that's not quality service. Sure, people who won Letter Of The Weeks and Months are at same level or better than mine. But those bloggers here who never won and got PUBLISHED. Some of them are like jerks in the curtains.
Read my comments but ignore me please. If you reply, you are pretending to be my enemy but wish I am your friend.
What's the difference between an Alex Ferguson and Wenger fight and a race between Alex Ferguson and Mourinho? It is still a two-horse race with Alex as the common factor. Most team that are lagging in the race because that they are simply not good enough to win. How many times have we seen teams like Liverpool and Arsenal dropping points when they were heavily favored to win? Lost count right?
Mourinho's exit will not make the race more interesting but might eventually turn the EPL race into a one horse race with Man U galloping away with the title if all things remains the way it is. Of course, a team will not turned bad overnight and Chelsea will be up there chasing Man U. As for the rest, they have to talk less and work more and sustain it with the right results on the pitch!
The main problem is that there are too many 'Indian chiefs' at Chelsea at the moment airing contrasting views contributing to the rumours about Mourinho's reign coming to an end at the season. If he were to go, there will be no lack of suitors vying for his services. As he aptly put it, Chelsea is more important than his position. Even if he failed to win anything this season, his reputation as the Special One has already been secured.
I believe there are plenty of good managers out there. Mourinho is a good manager. But the EPL needs him not just for his managerial skills but also for his flamboyant personality. Yes, he may disrupt the way football is played at times with his unjust comments. At times i am flabbergasted by his lack of sportsmanship. But it beats having managers who are giving textbook answers in their interviews. In a way, its rather boring. With more flamboyance comes more attention. The EPL can only benefit from more viewers as compared to its fellow counterparts such as the Serie A etc.
I definitely do not agree w BH that it will turn into a 1 horse race if Mourinho leaves. Especially if the spine of the Chelsea team remains constant. A new manager might be able to come and generate some new ideas and push Man U all the way. And i certainly will not discount off the likes of Wenger and Benitez next season. Wenger is already a proven manager with his shrewd buys and league wins. After defeating Liverpool using almost 2 different teams, we should be aware that his team is in transition. With the young talents that they have, all they need more would be consistency which should come as they mature. Benitez should also not be discounted off totally since he had a good track record at Valencia. With the impending takeover, Benitez could pull off some transfer surprises next season. In other words, the challenges should stil come from the traditional challengers, with or without Mourinho. Whatever will be affected if Mourinho departs would be the behind the scenes.

Light Yagami and I with our Note Books trying to outwit each other first by figuring out what is the Malay Slang when my Darling
Su Ying told me.
Su Ying:"Xiao Yu Er.I know the meaning of the Malay Slang said by The Postman?"
Xiao Yu Er (Little Fish):"What is the meaning?"
Su Ying whisper to my ears:"K-E-L-O-N-G.Kelong means traitors betray team mates by allowing opponents to score against them or they themselves score own goals either for monetary and sex gains.Will you betray me for such gains ?"
I whisper:"Absolutely No."
Su Ying:"Light Yagami.My Xiao Yu Er knows Malay Slang Name."
Light Yagami:"Really.But it is still not enough by not answeering whether EPL is boring w/o Jose?"
I:"Circus EPL won't be the same w/o Jose.It is Clown Jose Mourinho who unified EPL opposition fans, managers and players all having one objective - That is to defeat Chelsea and make them pay maximium high price of draws or losses like 2-2 draw with Reading at the cost of losing two injured Goalkeepers."
Su Ying:"Clown Jose Mourinho's provocative comments, unsportmanship and win-at-all-costs attitude resulted lowly placed Fulham claim 2-2 draw while Middlesbrough inflicted Chelsea's first defeat with 2-1 scoreline."
I:"Tottenham Hotspur, EPL Champions Material, unlucky loss to inept mediocre Liverpool, able to defeat Clown Mourinho's team by 2-1 margin."
Su Ying:"Arrival of Gus Hiddink have more devastating effects against EPL teams.His motto is You-score-three-and-I-score-six.Liverpool,just lost to Arsenal 3-6, continue with defeats of the same margin against Hiddink's Chelsea.EPL teams have lesser chances to win against Hiddink led Chelsea whose trade mark wins be 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 with exceptional losses to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur."
I:"Light Yagami.I've written down in Note Book - The Last Name.Time for you to leave."
Light Yagami:"Nooooooooo..."
Su Ying and I:"We will be back for other Questions of the Week.We hope you enjoy it.Take care."
From: Chester Low
haha Kelvin.. I did not say it will turn into a one horse race if you will look carefully. Of course the traditional rivals plus one or two darkhorses will be up there challenging for the title. Just like how Man U, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal were perceived to be doing so this season. But of the 5 title challengers, only the front two are actually doing it.
Benitez is fast becoming a joke with his post match interviews. As any Liverpool fan, they should know the standard response that he gives. Valencia's achievement is history. What matters is present. What's the point of promising many and yet delivering little? Talk is cheap.
Hopefully Arsenal's transition will complete by this season. Last season was considered their main transition period, this season, their mini-transition to new stadium. I wonder what 'transition' will they be undergoing next season?
The EPL have players that makes the league interesting to watch, like Henry, Gerrard and Ronaldo (naming some of them). So the managers also need to buck and make the league interesting too. In June 2004, Jose Mourinho came and from then on, the rest is history.
Surely, no other manager have a bigger personality or ego than Mourinho. His on and off-the-field reactions are often contributing to the league's popularity. I remembered when Mourinho celebrated like a crazy man when Drogba scored a spectacular winner against Everton and he went bersek, running and swinging his arms out. What about the Barcelona match at the Nou Camp when Drogba (once again) netted the equalising goal? He went on to do Drogba's goal celebration. This is a manager who interacts well with his players and his media. Without him, the media in England will find it difficult to write reports about Chelsea. Even Drogba have come out and said that he doesn't wish to see his FRIEND leave Chelsea at the end of the season. So losing such a manager can only be bad for the EPL. It will return to the usual Arsenal-Manchester United rivarly and it is super boring.
P.S sorry for my lousy english
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Giordano Suntec City for their quality service. I spent only $18 and they treat all their customers like VIP. Met up with an old classmate too.
I will repeat. To be like Jose Mourinho, you need results to back you up just like in the office or at school.
Thank you for reading my comment. I appreciate it.
(My website have not been updated for a year if you click on q-s)
Before Mourinho came, we could live without him. But now that he’s been here for nearly 3 years, EPL would not be the same without him – it would be better for FA but not for the media, fans or Chelsea.
Mourinho gave us the break from the boring old rivalry between Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. He’s not a sour grape like Wenger (as my dad claims) nor behaves like Fergie who takes his personal grudges into the club affairs (think Becks, Stam, Keane, Ruud, etc). He came & made his presence known not only throughout England but also internationally – by hi-jacking the transfer market & occasionally making trips to the FA (for the obvious wrong reasons).
He may be seen as arrogant & someone who often shoots his mouth and then contradict himself. However, he has won many fans and even the respect of other managers.
His goal celebrations (e.g.: skidding down the touchline) & occasional arguments with the fourth official about the referee have made him the twelve player. His antics may be too much at times yet entertaining & that’s why we adore him because we can also feel his passions.
lim boon hock, I like your last post. Spot on, mate. Spot on.
Couldn't have been written better myself. :)
While I do agree Chelsea will still be a powerhouse even if Jose leaves, his departure may also signal an exodus of players at Chelsea who might be inclined to follow their mentor to whichever club he settles in.
We might see the likes of Lampard or Carvalho leaving Stamford Bridge or certain players being sold because often a new manager wants to bring the players that he wants to suit his brand of football. There will be a transition period needed for players to adapt to the new manager’s football philosophy and gel with new team-mates.
This transition period may see Chelsea struggling to gel and this may be the onus for teams to take advantage. The likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs will be major contenders next season even if they have flattered to deceive this time around. United and Chelsea should expect a tougher battle next season.
That could only be good for football neutrals everywhere as it would make for a more exciting league.Replacing Jose will not be easy and whoever Chelsea brings in will have big boots to fill. So expect Mourinho to leave with a bang.
We hate the way Mourinho incessantly opens and closes his mouth like a goldfish, but I feel that he’s added more spice, thrill and entertainment to the EPL. In fact, this self-proclaimed “Special One” may have become the inaugural “Moaner of the EPL.”
Whenever he fails to win, the tabloids are covered with stories about his moaning and controversial excuses. Of course, other managers do this too, but Mourinho does this on a much grander scale. Don’t we all love speculating what sort of excuses Mourinho’s going to fabricate next?
During the past 2 seasons when Mourinho streamed ahead of the chasing pack to win the EPL titles, most of us were probably fed up and wishing that someone could pose a greater challenge. If there was a time when the EPL could have done away with Mourinho, it was then. But lately, Mourinho, trailing leaders Man Utd by 6 points, seems to be losing both his plot and luck. And a losing Mourinho makes a more entertaining Mourinho.
Therefore, I believe that salt is to rice as Mourinho is to the EPL. His highly controversial mouth definitely spices up the EPL, increasing the off-pitch entertainment to a higher level.
Is this the same person who bragged that he only had a team which was worth a tenth of United's squad value but yet went on to win the Champions League in 2004??? What tune is he singing now when the expensive squad that he has currently cannot deliver the goods for the past few weeks??? The board was right to turn his requests down...
As a manager, tactician and strategist, no doubt he is up there with the other greats. But it ends there. The rants, the raves, the arrogance, the catalyst for death threats towards Anders Frisk, Stephen Hunt and Ibrahima Sonko, it is no wonder that he is dubbed the "Enemy of Football"...
The Premiership has always been colourful even before Mourinho came to the Premiership. People come people go. That's life. People will miss him if he leaves but it won't be long as there are 20 other managers in the spotlight and hundreds of other footballers in the limelight to look at. One man does not make a League, if there ever was such a proverbial saying...
EPL won't be boring w/o Jose but it will be sorrow for non Chelsea fans.
If Gus Hiddink takes over Chelsea.It will be Chelsea winning EPL, Carliing Cup, FA Cup And UEFA Champions League season in and out.
Hiddink's abilites,changing mediocre below average players ,into good winning teams is an achievement.Examples like Holland lost out to Brazil in 1998 World Cup Semi-Final, South Korea's defeat to Germany in 2002 World Cup Semi-Final and Australia's elimination in Round 16 by Italy in 2006 World Cup.These teams lost by 1 goal margin to eventual runners-up or winners.
PSV Endhoven manage to win Dutch Leagues and excellent runs in Champions League, despite every season sale of best players and take up lousy players from scrap yard, shows that Hiddink is a genius who can win things with his Midas touch.
By managing Chelsea who have Platinum Premium Grade A players who can win matches own their own.Hiddink's presence will allow 200%win over EPL and Champions League Rivals.
Hopefully Clown Jose Mourinho stay put, for the sake of interesting entertainment due to his colourful antics.Most important of all.That is EPL Title, Carling Cup, FA Cup and Champions League doesn't fall into Chelsea's hands every season.
From: Chester Low
Yeah, hiddink has achieved alot. But he has only won the Dutch league and plenty of fans. Remember, before when he was managing the likes of Real Madrid, a team with superstars, he did not do that well. If i remember correctly, one of the fellow bloggers added that he only has a European trophy to show for. Lippi who's linked to chelsea would make a better choice i guess.
cheers,
kel
I hate this talk about Mourinho leaving Chelsea. Top Chelsea players are begging Mourinho to stay. Jose Mourinho and Chelsea are like a hand that fits into a glove easily. Stay Mourinho, stay!
Hm...I don't know why,but any coach with quite a credible track record who went to Real Madrid rarely seems to do well enough to stay long in the club.
Presently Capello doesn't seem able to fully utilise his expensively assembled squad.The players are like spoilt kids crying to play in every match and the big daddy is failing to discipline them.Guus only lasted half a season winning the Intercontinental Cup.Del Bosque was sacked just after winning the La Liga title,not forgetting he won many others before that.Sometimes you do wonder whether the manager must plucked down the moon and the stars from the sky and deliver them on a gold plate to the big bosses then they will be sastisfied or what.
In a club with big-named players,player-power sometimes overshadow that of the manager.Well Guus have failed to deal with that in Real Madrid but that doesn't mean he will fail in London.Same to say that Mourinho have commanded respect in Chelsea but can he repeat that in Real Madrid?Nobody knows til that really happened.
If Mourinho does leave,the paradox of him winning the Champions League with a relatively not-so-expensive small squad and not winning it with the might Blues will stand.As a proud man of his character,doesn't he want to prove people wrong?
Cheers
Off-topic, but it's time to jump onto the bandwagon... well, at leat I am...
Hahaha, Singapore 11 Laos 0. That was quite something! Though I missed the 1st, 2nd and 4th goal, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game... Dez Corkhill isn't the best commentator around though. :D Although Laos were kinda shit at defending, credit has to go to the Lions for the numerous quality crosses, such that I even wished Liverpool could deliver crosses as accurately as those... Only bad thing is that Indra, Aide and co shouldn't laugh so much on the bench. It's mean! And they made me want to laugh even harder too...
Woohoo! Well done Lions. :D :D
off-topic: Singapore trashed Laos 11-0. So much for goal-shy eh.
I can't believe Noh Alam Shah scored 7 goals. That must make him top scorer so far. Great job Singapore. Next, Indonesia!
I WAS THERE AT THE NATIONAL STADIUM. SINGAPORE 11 LAOS 0.
Yeah!The Lions finally showing their bite in front of goals and what a big one this time round.Can't be complacent though.Keep it up...
Cheers
About Singapore Vs Laos , For a long long long time never feel so goooood.
Eh Singapore vs Indonesia 4-0?
Life goes on whether there is a Jose or not. Without Jose the media will always come up with a new person to feature. Before Jose there were Arsene vs Alex and Alex vs Keegan. The media will never let life go on without something to say. How are they going to sell their newspaper?
