They Say:
"He [Mourinho] is the new Herrera. He is very good on the bench when he communicates, and he has understood the difficulties of Italian football," Giovanni Trapattoni compares Jose to legendary Inter coach Helenio Herrera. Herrara must've been special.
"I asked for Cristiano Ronaldo's jersey and he told me he already gave it to someone else. I replied, 'I will become stronger than you." Mario Balotelli didn't react too well to not getting to swap shirts with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Andy Cole gives an insight into his loathing of former team-mate Teddy Sheringham.
"I would rather sit down and have a cuppa with Neil Ruddock, who broke my leg in two places in 1996, than with Teddy Sheringham, who I've pretty much detested for the past 15 years.....You know what my immediate thoughts were? 'Jesus Christ! How many people just saw Teddy Sheringham do that to me?' I was embarrassed. Two years later Sheringham arrived [at United]. We played together for years. We scored a lot of goals. I never spoke a single word to him."
""So it was a boring game for the public but those who were on the pitch, we did some things right," Michael Ballack wasn't too pleased with Germany's display against Argentina.
Former Tottenham player Alan Mullery reckons David Beckham shouldn't be in the England squad for the World Cup.
"If he can't get in the side immediately I still think we've got players there who can go into the side immediately before David Beckham. It's like everything in football. You have your day and then your day goes out the window." England have better options than the by then 35-year-old.
"I know what JT is like, so nothing surprises me about him - I know I wont count on that guy, and I think everyone in football knows what the guy's like." Craig Bellamy adds his voice to the Terry scandal. Craig Bellamy and moral high ground fit's in a sentence like Hitler and Bar Mitzvah.
"‘Mou’ is seeing elements of conspiracy all around him and has embarked on a delirious crusade against the ‘tyrants’ of Calcio, who are supposedly in cahoots to put a spanner in Inter’s works," Vince Masiello reckons Jose Mourinho is making Inter's league challenge harder with his mouth.
"He was woeful at the weekend against Manchester City, having already made a number of notable errors in the games against Inter Milan and Everton. But what was noticeable on Saturday was the way Terry’s malaise had spread to his team-mates - whereas the City players looked extra-resolved to put in a performance for their beleaguered left-back," Alex Dimond examines the effect playing around behind his full back is having on JT's ability to play football. A lesser name may have been benched by now, for club and country.
Alan Dawson's Handshake whodunit special threw up the old chestnut of Terry Butcher's long held gripe against El Pelusa:
Proud Anglo-Saxon Terry Butcher, assistant coach of the Tartan Army in 2008, famously declared he would snub gentlemanly conduct with Argentina boss Maradona. Still seething for Diego's hand in the notorious 1986 World Cup goal against England, Butcher said: "I have to share a technical area with him but that is it as far as I’m concerned." Boo-hoo! I'm sure Diego is bitterly disappointed. He may even swap his World Cup medal for a handshake with Terry. Maybe. If he hasn't already sold it to feed his habit.
You Say:
"even djemba djemba is better than him" andy blignaut in zimbabwe doesn't agree with Balotelli's self praise. Presumably he means Eric Djemba Djemba, formerly of Manchester United, now of Odense BK. Eric Djemba Djemba, so good they named him twice.
"there are only two teams in La Liga, just like Scottish League," Mendez in Portugal thinks the Primera Liga is like the SPL, only without the cold weather and freckles.
"If this new rule does go thru inzaghi would score 100 goals a season lol," Tony in Toronto reckons serial offside hound Filippo Inzaghi would benefit from the rumoured offside change. Many of you agree.
"No to video reviews and yes to this??!!," Danny in the Netherlands thinks scrapping offside is a hare brained notion.
"mourinho is just a clown nothing more, he has ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and because of that he makes news so media shows him more." Kia in the US reckons Jose belongs in a circus.
"haha, nice one. Hide your girlfriends, Don Juan Terry is on the prowl." juju in sa agrees with Craig Bellamy.

"Pele was once the best player in the world. I played once as well. Players come and players go. We have the team decided but we need certain things defined," Brazil coach Dunga closes the door on in-form Ronaldinho for the World Cup. So a 35-year-old bit part player like Becks will be in South Africa but a talismanic genius 30-year-old won't. Perhaps a 36.5 centimetre high, 6.175kg of pure gold will decide who was right and who was wrong!?

All this focus on the Arsenal and Milan game should not take away from another cracker earlier tonight between Zenit and Benfica. The Russians came from a goal down to lead 2-1 in the closing minutes before Oscar Cardozo levelled things for Benfica, but it wasn't over there as Roman Shirokov won the game for Zenit in the 88th minute.
Here's the thoughts of Benfica coach Jorge Jesus, who felt his side deserved a point from the game.

Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny bemoaned his side's luck tonight but refused to give up. Here's some of his quotes:
"They were the better team on the night and that's the story of the day.
"We have to keep fighting, pick ourselves up, get the confidence back and challenge in the other competitions and in the second leg of this tie too.
"They punished us on every occasion; they scored some quality goals and they deserved to win."

Another Milan player who was willing to share his thoughts after the match was Mark van Bommel, who has urged caution ahead of the second leg in London.
“The score made it look like it was an easy game, but it certainly wasn't.
(Strange... it looked pretty easy from where I was sitting, but hey.)
“I do not think it's over yet. I remember a clash between Milan and Deportivo la Coruna when Milan was also ahead by four goals, and in the end Deportivo eliminated Milan.
“I went into the Arsenal dressing room after the match to speak to Robin van Persie. I had agreed with him to swap shirts – my sons are big fans of his and he brought two for them. They will be delighted.
Van Bommel went on to talk about a possible move to PSV in the future, but was quick to point out his terms for the move.
“I've spoken with PSV, but we don't have an agreement yet. The club has to decide what they want.
“If Louis van Gaal turns out to be the new coach, I won't go.”

Next up is the Milan maestro Clarence Seedorf. He only managed 12 minutes on the pitch, but watching from the sidelines he was delighted at how his team mates had dominated the game.
"Tonight everything went in the right direction and we did a very good match. You don't start a match thinking to win 4-0, but at the end i think we deserved it coz we played very well."
