Come on, Untouchables round two anyone? One can dream.

While I'm at it I'd like to see the FA get a better quality coach. Mainly one that understands picking the best player for each position doesn't guarantee success. Finding the right balance of egos and skills does. Gerrard and Lampard CANNOT play together, figure it out already.

I actually quite like Mourinho; he's entertaining, so I'd rather listen to him than somebody like Southgate or Coleman. I also like how he just doesn't care what people think of him and will just wind them up. I don't know why I like that, but I do. From a footballing standpoint, I'd love him to go, as it would weaken Chelsea greatly; the team spirit he has built amongst what is essentially a bunch of mercenaries is unbelievable. Chelsea wouldn't be the same without him. I would definetly like to see Abramovich go; so that anything Chelsea do would actually be an achievement rather than just buying trophies. Arsenal will improve eventually I think; they're going through a period of transition at the moment. They need to keep Wenger and Henry though, whatever happens. I think a lot will happen this summer concerning the big four, and a few other Premiership teams that have big money to spend. The 'silly season' is going to be sillier than ever apparently.
