You know like, 'special'?
He actually thinks Chelsea were better than Barca.

"Mr. Mourinho, did the better team win the tie?"
"No."
What a fucking twat.
I'll give him some credit though. He's achieved what I thought was impossible: he's made me want F.C. Barcelona to win a football game.
Next time Chelsea go crashing out of a major competition I want to see Paxman doing the post-match interview with Mourinho.
This has to be officially the worst straws. clutching. at. ever.
If Chelsea didn't get men sent off then that wouldn't be the case would it? Oh, and it was never a penalty last night, Terry dived, so the match technically should have been a defeat.
Anyway, such details are irrelevant as everyone knows a CL knockout tie is played over 2 games so single game statistics mean little.
Have you been listening to that song about him or something?
He, of course, wouldn't be saying the same thing if he was the Barca manager, would he? :rolleyes:
No, not yet... :chin:
Wasn't aware there was a song, just thought he was turning a bit 'special'.
Or if he was anyone who has functioning eyes.
LOL The song is terrible though.
Something ridiculous like 4000 people ruined their presidential election voting slips by putting Mourinho as their option.
I used to like him, but our relationship soon soured. His stupidly expensive team doesn't even play good football, which is the ultimate insult.
doesnt matter how good the football is that your team plays, especially if you win
Psssssh, of course it matters.
If I was paying several grand for a season ticket I'd certainly want to see good football.
This is what separates Chelsea from clubs like Barcelona. Barca actually care about the football they play, and would never play in a Chelsea style. Come on, Chelsea practically bore the opposition into submission in some games. For Chelsea (and Liverpool) it's not about trying to go out and win the game, it's about waiting for your opponent to lose the game. Efficient? Yes. Entertaining? Hardly.
I was reading an article in the Guardian the other day about this, how the reporter had spoken with many season ticket holders who despite Chelsea's first league trophy in 50 years with another one on the way said they've been very unsatisified with the team during the last year or so.
I guess young people care a little less. The older the fan, I'd imagine, the more importance they put on actual play.
I've seen Real Madrid win games 2-0 during league-winning seasons and be booed off the pitch by irate fans.
An interesting point raised by the Grauniad, too: all Chelsea's best players were Ranieri buys- Gudjohnsen, Geremi, Makelele, Duff, Cole, Robben, Lampard...
*speechless*
:eek:
We, at least, always played good football throughout our championship winning days. We were and still are associated with positive, attacking play.
They should bring Ranieri back. He got it so tight from the Chelsea board. Noone hated him either.
Exactly.
And, ABU as I am, watching ManYoo was something else. I won't ever forget that volley that Scholes scored against us, for instance.
Chelsea are just a bit too efficient. They collect the trophies domestically, but you need someone who can do something on the European stage.
They played good football, and he was a good guy who didn't whinge when they lost, and didn't blame everyone else when they lost.
I Like Mourinho, like his cockyness, like his interviews, like his excuses, like his arrogance, brings something different something a bit entertaining to the English game IMO.
I only saw a slow motion replay and it looked like Terry made a meal of it just. Maybe not a dive, but certainly not a penalty. The referee undeservedly saved Chelsea some face with that decision. They were comprehensively beaten.
Bit boring now though. It was a breath of fresh air, but now he's been here a while, he's just become arrogant and a bit tedious. It's ok being confident but the way he totally disrespects his opposition sometimes is disgusting. Ask West Brom. I also don't think he's half the manager he's made out to be, it's all hyperbole.
I didn't see Jose whingeing about referees then, that's for damn certain.
I don't actually think he is all that hot a manager. I could win the Premiershit after spending £150m.
I'm not saying he was biased either, he was equally as shit for both teams.
This was highlighted to me last night watching the middlesborough game where the ref let little niggles go, looked for advantage all the time and let the game flow freely, and it wasn't a bad game to watch.
