The Mourinho Thread

[The Mak 4,459]

‘It isn't normal to win a title every season,unless you choose the countries and clubs where even the kit-man as manager wins it. Here, I choose a difficult one.’

Officially my favourite José quote ever! Any more of a blatant dig at Pep he would've showed a picture of his face and laughed!

How I love that man, he says everything we're thinking!

Fair play from Pellegrini.

"When we play against Chelsea I say the impression is we play against a small team with very good players,’ he said. ‘Every person is different. For me, a big team which has possession of the ball must try to score more goals, must try always to win. It is different ways of thinking."

Fair play? F*ck off Pelligrino

Take it in Pellegrino that a small team is just about to win the league miles ahead of your lot.

Ha ha

The thing is, Sunderland are doing just OK at the moment and their run-in is horrendous - Southampton(H), Everton(A), Leicester(H), Arsenal(A) and Chelsea(A).

just wanted to give you a friendly reminder - barcodes are two points ahead of Sunderland, but Sunderland has a match in hand - you still think the barcodes are safe?

Tactical MASTERCLASS by Pulis today.

Set his team up perfectly.

Genius.

This thread has been a bit quiet recently.

Jose's dad had undergone surgery after suffering a stroke.

Set his team up perfectly.

he did not?

oh wait.. i forgot you expect wba to attack united at OT and forget about man marking mata or fellaini.. lets just go out and play the beautiful game.. right?

as for being quiet.. i thought it was people like you who moaned and cried hopeless that had stopped posting, for the rest of us it seems like normal going.

CHOMP

That was a massive bite and I didn't even have to try hard.

just so sick and tired of the same "purists" (though i had an another awesome and more apt word in mind) cribbing about the same fucking thing again and again and again.

thats the way jose plays. thats the way jose played with CR in his team. thats the way jose is gonna play in the future. roman seems happy, the club is winning. 99.9% of the fans are happy. but if you get your happiness by taking childish digs on our manager and winding up others rather than enjoying a league title, than sure, be my guest.

i mean i am going thru the last few pages and how surprising that i cant find a single positive thing said from you. a pretty good indicator i feel.

Actually, Ancelotti himself pushed for Torres.

Torres was 100% Carlo's fault. Along with turning down the chance to sign Aguero. Jose says we shouldn't blame him for saying no to the City striker . Well you can not blame him if you want to.

As for the rest, mainly luck.

Doesn't sound good considering his age, hope for as good recovery as possible.

Utd is not touching Chels next season even if they buy 5 new starters. They'll need at least another year to compete again.

Arsenal... I don't think so. I'm sure they'll suffer plenty of injuries like they always do.

So it all depends on a City resurgence. But I don't think that's happening either.

I seriously disagree with Mourinho. Chelsea are in a pole position to retain the title next season. Yes, retain. Stop the delusion.

I was just appreciating the tactical master-class put on by Tony Pulis, which happened to remind me of Jose. You are very sensitive and need to calm down

I feel like there are going to be lots of changes at City and they may go through a transition period over the next year or two.

Man Utd are having one now and who knows when that will end.

Arsenal are Arsenal...which means they won't seriously challenge.

I'd have us favourites for the league title even if we made minimal changes to the team/squad.

Is there? I guess the post would have been better suited there, but then again I don't venture to many places on this forum.

But you are incredibly angry; you are absolutely furious right now.

It's not like the PL sides are in a position to buy Barca, Bayern or Real players (the regulars of course). They can't clean out Juve, Atletico or PSG either. Whoever they're buying, they won't be players that are better than Chelsea's. And then there's the issue of needing time to adapt.

No, I'm not having it. It's not going to be an easy ride, but Chelsea is the best side in England by a good distance.

And there's no need for a huge quality injection to win the league again, yeah, but it will be needed to improve in Europe. I hope the ambition to be the best is still very much alive.

I always say this. I'm pretty sure it came down to Torres and Aguero, and Ancelotti made a massive mistake. Aguero was swooning for Chelsea for ages. Real shame.

I do remember at the time being massively gutted, I'm a huge Aguero fan.

tbf buying Torres pretty much sank the season for lpuke that year. IMHO they haven't been the same like they were 10 years ago...Ok they had last season, but that was due to the Strength of the Uruguayan Vampire - now that he is gone, they have returned to hasbeens - I am fine w/ that
