The Mourinho Thread

[DYC. 7,542]

Mourinho or Koeman for me. Mourinho would win more votes and receive more credit if he was more likeable, that's just how the world works.

[Barbara 15,149]

i dont care what did koeman, pearson or other fucker did. since when is it a bigger achievement staying in the league over winning the league. and winning it with a minimum of 10+ pts ahead of the second place. in a strong and even league like the pl it's an award worthy success.

Since it fits their views and opinions... also, people were exaggerating saying Soton were relegation candidates (but not surprising based on what they normally assume/predict) ... I do think Koeman did great and exceeded the expectations and I'm inclined to believe he'll get it. Jose doesn't care about it though and will bag home the award that really matters.

top of the table since day1, not a single manager of the month award.

what makes people think that jose even has a chance with this award.

That's not how this works. Jose and chelsea were title favourites before the season even started while Soton on the otherhand defied the odds and have been rubbing shoulders with teams of considerably better squad and bigger budget throughout the season. The latter is a much bigger and impressive achievement from a non biased standpoint. Either way I think you can't go wrong with either Koeman or Jose winning the award but to dismiss the dutchman as a legitimate contender for the award is just plain wrong.

hmmm.. so the only way to achieve an objective is attacking and glorious football.

this is so bloody strange. did not liverpool just need a point against us which we would have been so happy to give them and take one in return. yet, somehow they set out to meet their "objective" in the only way you deem it good enough to be accomplished. and see where it got them. oh well, dont let facts and realism knock you on your ass. lets all just play fifa/FM and set our team as a mindblowing attacking unit.

also, i am not sure how much of a club's mentality actually becomes a fan's mentality. but i feel there is some truth to it. in the past 2 weeks i have seen united and arsenal fans so vehemently say that we would rather take playing beautiful football than winning at the cost of defensive football. makes you think about the objectives does not it? i mean people at RM were not happy with jose even after the 2nd year where he won the la liga cos he pplayed counter attacking football.

and now we come down to our problem, 2 games against probably the 2 most inform PL teams. a 37 year old striker playing 135 minutes of those 180 minutes. 20 minutes played by a player who definitely looked like he had a concussion and in the remaining 25 minutes, we probably should have had 3 penalties. boring chelsea, indeed.

And the thing about last season's Liverpool is they completely neglected defending, last time I checked defending was an important part of the game, so isn't neglecting that 'anti football' aswell?

Also Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Mingolet performed like clowns all season, if they were rewarded with a PL medal it would have sent out all the wrong messages.

I mean imagine Mingolet in the elite group of title winning number 1s? Barthez in there is bad enough, but Mingolet joining would have really took the piss.

[Adnane 1,101]

Was Pep's Barcelona team's reputation built on their performance against teams like Hercules,Almeria and co or was it built on their demolition of Mouirinho's Madrid and Fergie's united et al while playing excellent football to boot? Answer that question truthfully.

Actually Mourinho thrashed them in 2012 when he was at Real, won la Liga setting many records and beat them in Camp Nou en route to the title.

Anyway we got your points, non-Chelsea fans around you are surrounding you with critics about your own team and you can't defend because you don't have the arguments, those are people you call neutral right ? And that's why you come here and slam Chelsea right ? Because they influence your opinion right ? Well you know what, get a life , get your own goddamn opinion and stop criticizing Chelsea and Mourinho based on the fact you CAN'T EVEN FUCKING DEFEND YOUR OWN TEAM AGAINST THE CRITICS.

Because if you were a proper Chelsea fan, you'd know yourself that we don't actually fucking care about free-flowing football as long as we win, this is what championships and cups are created for, to be won, not for a team to deliver 5 and 6 goals margin wins with 70% possession, 90% pass accuracy, 10 shots on target, 15 corners, and lose the title with 2 months to go ( Hello arsenal 2008 ) or worse, two weeks ( Demba Ba day was yesterday).

What you don't get, is had we continued to play the pseudo "free-flowing dynamic tripla quadruple magic passing football" you so crave during the second half of the season we would've probably lost a lot of points and the title.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I've enjoyed the utd and Arsenal matches more than the vast majority of matches this season. Big close matches where we managed to control the play as we wanted and get the results we needed. I enjoy real competitiveness and great tactical battles a lot more than mindless attacking football. That's why I watch the EPL and the Serie A but not La Liga. But that's just me...

[Thendo 1,088]

Id be ok with either of Mourinho, Monk or Koeman winning it, heck maybe even Pardew. But obviously I hope José gets the nod.

Oh yeah because shooting 2 times on target in 180 minutes against QPR and Man Utd, which somehow gave Chelsea 6 points, is well-made recipe for success.

so the managers from the 2,3 best teams (title contenders) are automatically out of the competition for the manager of the season awards just because they're supposed to be there at the end of the season? bullshit. we lost only two games this season. and one of them is controversial, haven't lost a single game to a 'big' team so far...yada yada yada...we all now what we (mourinho) did this season.

on the other hand. southampton sold some players and bought some players. from this perspective they aren't weaker now. they bought the right players for the positions they needed to. look at lovren now, or shaw, or lambert and lallana. they bought smart and that's why they are as good as last year. i would give it to koeman if they had these results without the players they bought or without some of them. if they lose 2 more games till the end of the season they will have 13 loses. that's every 3rd game as a defeat.

1>5.

and btw, we should have even more points if it wasn't for the refs and fa.

Yeah, so the 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and the late of 2014-2015 Chelsea have all been lucky, it's not intended nor controlled.

The only game I accept to take as random and entirely dependent of the quality of Hazard rather than the whole team was QPR ( doesn't mean he was instrumental for us all year ), the rest is BS, good team deserved performances.

[Fulham Broadway 16,933]

what are you doing? you cant give facts here. did not you read that all of it was luck. we are lucky to be beaten only twice the whole season. we are lucky to concede only 26 goals, have the most victories, score 65 goals etc etc. dont you go spreading the wrong word.

You are aware the guy you're trying to convince is almost certainly a gooner in disguise...

[1chelsea 864]

so jose should play according to what viewers want to see,, hmm... next i will hear is, jose sucked all the fun out of PL by finishing the PL so early. look at city and how wonderfully they won their title.. JOGA BONITO!!!

we have been utter crap for 4 months. dont mind that we are unbeaten for 4 months in PL!!!! :lol:

what makes you think that jose gives a crap about what people think about his philosophy? or that he is looking to change people's opinions? i thought his comments were pretty straight forward as to what he thinks is the main priority when he makes his team go out on the field.

Next i will hear is, jose sucked all the fun out of PL by finishing the PL so early. You said it all thank you
