The Mourinho Thread

[LAM09 7,043]

He always speaks his mind.

[manpe 10,861]

Sometimes, it's not even about that. I doubt Jose had that at the forefront of his thoughts. He just gave an honest opinion on an unacceptable situation.

True, that's also what I think. I think that people often overcomplicate things what Jose says. I find that most of the times he just speaks his mind, especially when he's freshly frustrated.

The media bias has always annoyed me. We don't get the credit that we deserve or we just get constantly trampled on in the media.

Example:

Martin Tyler. He has to be the most obvious anti-chelsea guy going, I don't know if its just me but today against Southampton when Hazard scored, just after that he sounded so damn depressed. He is a joke.

Last season, Gary Neville, who I believe is a breath of fresh air in the punditry stakes said something after Demba Ba scored against Liverpool that I hated, he didn't say 'great finish' or 'calmness from Ba'. He said 'Typical Chelsea, typical Mourinho' in a way that felt like it was a negative.

We don't make it easy for ourselves sometimes, diving especially, but it does feel like it's always Chelsea who are used as an example of the bad side of football, whereas the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd are always the beacons of light in the premier league.

I hate it, but I absolutely fecking love it when Jose calls them on their shit, in press conferences (grumpy one word answer Jose), post matches like above and in interviews during the week. I want him to have a go at Redknapp again so he can wipe that shit eating grin off his face again.

Up the Chelsea and tell'em Jose! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

"I think it is a scandal because it is not a small penalty - it is a penalty like Big Ben,"

Hahahahahaha the fucking Boss, another fantastic quote of Jose.

Well it's funny I mentioned a couple of days ago that because Ivanovic diving shenanigans we will get a true penalty call and not get it due to the perception we have at this instance. And just like that we got it here.

Mourinho can say whatever he wants but he's just deflecting from the real problem.

He needs to rotate more, or the players he have for rotation are not as good to fill in, and he needs to have a word with Ivanovic to stop the diving.

Everything else is sensationalism and some of you guys buy into it like shepo.

Mourinho always do this to stop people talking about the team.

You're right for sure. People need to jump off this interview, it's irrelevant to be honest. It's a stunt and José deserves a lot of praise for that, but I don't buy it for a second lmao.

I may be a bit naive, but I do have the feeling he's spoken to Ivanovic and Cahill and the rest of the squad about diving. The 2004-07 team didn't have divers in it, sure there was an over dramatic Drogba - but never cheating. Though, if you look at his Real Madrid team in his first season they were as rough as it came (Ramos, I suspect, was the leader behind that albeit).

Mourinho knows PR and he's doing well with it.. But this is for them and the papers, not for us. We should see past it.

REAL SQUAD WANT TO PROVIDE RIPOSTE ON PITCH "Bring on Mourinho in the Champions League"

http://www.marca.com/en/2014/12/28/en/football/real_madrid/1419755923.html

HERE WE GO!!!

Last year we had no chance. This year we can beat them, as we got a more complete team and of course mourinho can outfox carlo.

The one team I don't want to face is Bayern.

Pep just like mourinho are hurt after last year and this year are like a hurting animal.

Don't want to to take on that animal till the final or someone else eliminates them.

Gary Neville: Jose Mourinho attempting to put pressure on referees by saying there is a campaign against Chelsea

[Jase 43,479]

Scored 9 goals in our first 2 league away games this season; Netted only 10 in following 8. No back-to-back away wins since August. This is somewhat worrying.

We should be aiming for about 17 home wins, do that then 5 more away wins should be enough.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

José Mourinho is a genius, and anyone that doesn't recognise that is an idiot.

His tirade yesterday means the next referee to deny us a penalty will be publicly be torn to pieces. He is intimidating referees in the same way Sir Alex did.

Give this excellent article a read: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/chelsea-penalty-appeals-could-be-swayed-by-jose-mourinho-rant-over-cesc-fabregas-incident-9947999.html

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Hes made a tactical foul for the team. Get the media focussing on him, stick up for the boys, alleviate the pressure. Only thing he failed to mention was the medias total blindness when it came to Andy Carolls blatant dive last week when it was still 0-0.

All well and true maybe, but why does Neville or any other pundit not have the balls to stick their necks out and speak about the action that elicited a reaction from Mourinho? Was it a foul? Did Fabregas dive? If he didn't, shouldn't the yellow be rescinded? Why not speak about these issues?
