Probably sums him up. Biographers of Mourinho and other managers have said there is no one in the game who analyses the opposition to the meticulous level that he does, and as you say, always has a contingency for the way the game progresses. This is one facet that they cannot replicate with a Pound Shop manager.

Its probably 100% bollocks just as the things that Drogba were supposed to have said. I dont know if their are many English 'stars' playing in France, but a French tabloid would have a field day with Joey Barton or John Terry trying to speak French.

Originally in the Daily Mail. Now they've stopped picking on Drogba, it's more than likely a translation to suit current displeasure at the player, and sensationalist approach required of a tabloid.

Hope he stays. But as people have said, Clarke could have been there just while Grant embeds himself. I get the impression there was a huge reconnaisance excercise on how Mourinho worked, not only him but his staff as well, before Grant was instigated. Clarke remaining in situ was the insurance should it go tits up.

Funny to think they used to be our neighbourhood rivals

What a brilliant day. In the local with blokes with Man United shirts on.

When we were shit -I was there . It was kicking off everywhere outside, and one of our 'celeb' fans who was in Eastenders got a right kicking and was off the show for a while. Happy Days.

His missus according to R5 is trying to get him to team up with Beckham at Galaxy

Kaka has categorically said he wants to put on the ministerial cloth and be a priest when he hangs up his boots. France is largely Catholic. Apart from that he fully deserves it.

If only Kenyon would leave off Avrams misuss' piss...http://www.parecidosrazonables.com/parecid...rrana_golum.jpgBack on track. Grant must surely be outed soon by the silent majority of staff ? Maybe not, and self interest rules.

Lol, and there was me thinking Kenyon was a Rainbow characterhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/bradford/content/imag...ppy_465x370.jpg

Good thread. The West Ham game discipline, or lack of was expected, and if the ref had chucked a few early yellows about at Etherington , Boa Morte, it would have nipped it in the bud. However, it could be seen in the wider context of Mourinhos departure. Mourinho in the main would defend to the death any player convicted, however, he was an ex teacher, and lets face it most footballers are little more than children mentally. They respected him, --Grant has no such respect -and we can only hope it doesn't spill into players having a go at each other.

This all ties in with his ex ''colleagues'' in Israel saying he knows fuck all about football, but is adept at ingratiating himself amongst the wealthy. Chelsea is polluted at the moment, and it's only a matter of time before teams realise that we're standing still in terms of development, with a cardboard cutout of a Dr Who monster at the helm.

Well deserved, and will be seen as a Chelsea 'great' in years to come.

Can see Arsenal using Newcastle as a training excercise in the week as well.. Tottenham Hahahotspur winner scored by an ex-gooner as well. Shocking.

I think that's fairly spot on. Hes had to do barely anything, and it's fucking galling that some commentators are giving him credit.If Grant was an Easter egg he'd be one of those crappy 'chocolate flavoured' Easter eggs you used to get from peripheral relations, aunties and uncles, when you were a kid. They looked like good eggs but the chocolate wasn't that nice.... and they were hollow as well.

All the best Martyn, look forward to your comments

Some good ones there. Drogba song

In a nutshell then ; -In my life I have always been football. It can be this way, or that. I am exciting, unlike Jose. My answers are generally meaningless drivel, or they can sometimes be something else, but the main thing is I can bamboozle the fans, especially with a foreign accent. I try to cultivate the image of a likeable person struggling with the language. In actual fact I'm a scheming cunt, just here for the dosh. I'm not a fraud , honest.http://www.startrek-gamers.com/images/newsite/klingon.jpg

Drogba to continue his recent goal a game ratio. Like someone said, will be a walk in the park or a very close affair. hopefully our 70th? home unbeaten.

Lol would be a great retort. I think he's right though, even if he is stating the bleeding obvious. Grant should just say the same about Charlton , and ask just what is the attraction of heading pikey clubs ? And are you a Pearly in private ? Jose would.

We should have kept JFH, or Eidur, or even Carlton Cole and Roman could have given the Bridge a £30 000 000 beer subsidy.

Article has been doubtless twisted. Hes probably said hes happiest playing for his country. No problem.He also probably said he is not happy with his Chelsea performances. The Torygraph has just put a spin on it imo.
