£243mil Kaka

Recession? No way! The wealthy Arab who owns Manchester City is willing to pay £243 million to buy footballer Kaka from AC Milan.

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes insisted the Brazilian is worth every penny.

Kaka insist he will not be motivated purely by money. He will want to see how how a move to Manchester will fit into his lifestyle and also find something that will challenge him. Kaka is excited by the vision of helping City become one of the world's top clubs.

Manchester City had earlier bought another Brazilian Robinho for £32.5 million.

Abu Dhabi United Group owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan bought his stakes in Manchester City from former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra.

The new chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak was quoted to have said: "We are not going to do crazy stuff, but it makes sense for us to build a dynasty. The Arab owners are prepared to spent £200 million to buy players.

Roman Abramovich of Chelsea is now considered a small investors in English Premier League.

Lets hope Sheikh Mansour will bring his money to Malaysia and buy our Malaysian football Tiger teams and also invest some of his wealth in South Johor Iskandariah and Kencana.

Chelsea won FA Cup

Chelsea won the FA Cup today.

Didier Drogba scored the only goal during extra time when the game was scoreless at full-time.

I had expected the game to go for penalty shoot-out but the Drogba magic works during the last five minutes of extra-time.

Hail Chelsea and Hail Mourinho.

Chelsea's Dream goes up in smoke



Earlier, in the English Premier League, Chelsea draws with Bolton when they should had won the match. Midway in the game, they were 2-1 up midway and Manchester United was 2-0 down with Everton. There was so much expectation and excitement as they seemed to have closed the 3 points gap to be on level points with MU. However, in the end of that game, Chelsea draw with Bolton and MU went on to beat Everton by 4-2. That dashed the hope of Chelsea to win the EPL title.

3 days later, yesterday, they played Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final at Anfield and had an advantage 1-0 first leg. There was so much hope. There was still 3 titles to grab and the Champions League was far more important.

The end result, Chelsea-Liverpool 1-1 aggregate and Chelsea lost on penalties.

That result should put an end to Mourinho's career at Stamford Bridge. It's time for Mourinho to move on and go to Real Madrid. There's nothing left for him here in Chelsea. He just can't fight a one-man crusade with Roman Abramovich and his army of bodekers. He can't fight Abramovich's wealth and multi-billion empire. He isn't the special one. He is just another pawn in the game.

Chelsea's hope for the year is gone... beginning with this match!!!
