The Mourinho Thread

[Fernando 6,585]

I actually kinda enjoyed those speeches.

That what was Mourinho all about in his first stint with us.

However, last season he was just a shadow of that former self.

But ever since winning this year tittle it looks like he has regained that aired of "arrogance" that was missing....if you can call it that.

Those little statements is what made him stand out and always one of the favorite for the press.

Welcome back Mourinho!

[Adnane 1,101]

Do people still count this " go support (insert club or name then " as insult for when they can conjure up any argument. I thought it got outdated 6 years ago.

In fact, It wasn't intended to be an insult, people here have no problem presenting arguments to defend their opinions, but some of your posts are filled with so much hate that I can't even...

Whatever.

Agree, sports has many of these figures to be honest. Michael Jordan & Larry Bird trash talked a fair bit in the NBA. Muhammad Ali was pretty famous for it.

If you can back it up then it's fine.

Yeah or for example Guardiola praising the likes of Almeria, Cordoba (la liga) like they were worthy enemies. That's so fake, fake gentlemen.

Pep is someone I really despise because it's so obvious he is a snake. From the way he was bollocking Sanchez for playing for his country and sarcastically applauding his own medical staff in full view of everybody. No denying he is a fantastic manager though.

Credit to Mourinho and the board for the work done these past two years. Chelsea won just 1 league title in the eight seasons before the one that just ended. Simply put, that's not good. A rather fortunate CL win masked a lot problems and saved the club from a potential slip. But things have changed now, so I thank them for repairing the team.

I don't always agree with his methods but overall, Mourinho has done an excellent job as the manager. I just hope Mourinho and the board capitalise on the position of power right now. This is a team that can win for many years to come, not just domestically, if they just keep improving and strengthening the team.

I look forward to next season.

And that he's already done multiple times over the course of the season. That was even the first thing he did barely an hour after securing the league against Palace on BT sport. Why not let the premier league trophy/success (which is the ultimate form of revenge) do the talking for him.

As a matter of fact, as classless and defensive as Ferguson was and God knows he defended man utd and the players to death, he's never had a dig at other clubs or managers under such circumstances because normally he, like virtually every other manager not named Jose, are to busy celebrating their success to even give that sort of thing attention.

Did he ever have too? I can't remember anyone making the constant snide digs at his title wins that Greenie has for us this time, or one of the managers trying to claim a moral victory over a recent game like LVG did at his post season awards?

Not to mention with the possible exception of 2011 I don't think anyone try and claim his team were poor champions, I guess Mou just feels defensive towards his player's who have worked bloody hard to win this title and get little respect for it.

Another one added to the ignore list

I genuinely wonder why you have the stomach to continue posting here. Whether its your fault or other people's, you just don't get along with many of us.

Perhaps better to move on for both parties? Idk...

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I have this bad feeling that once (or if) he wins CL with us, he will eventualy move on to next challenge. I hope Im wrong though.

[Stingray 9,441]

It begs a good question and can be addressed in a civilized way. Lionsden, why do you support Chelsea? Let the guy make his case, thats my vote.

[Special Juan 28,141]

It's very simple, have an opinion and debate points in a balanced and civil manner......Talking down to people and being consistently against the grain turns the site and subjects into chaos. The site is a great place, it's a place where people can converge and talk openly about all things Chelsea, but what we won't tolerate is people trying to rub others up in such a way that topics go off track, and we actually lose site of what we are trying to run here.

Help us to run this place to a point we attract more members, not push them away.

on the contrary, i have the feeling the he wants to do a SAF. create a legacy. make a dynasty.

His family has finally settled in London. It's going to be much harder for him to do foreign adventures now

It's actually pretty amazing to think that even though Jose was only with us for 3 seasons when he first came, the core of that team stayed and managed to win silverware for a long time. Even up till the CL win you could feel It was Jose's team that managed to fight against all odds and win it.

I'm really looking forward to a long future with him. I hope that he sets us up perfectly for at least another decade of success even after he leaves. And boy, he's off to a good start.

[Spike 12,049]

In fact Jose was defending the team and the club with his 'digs' at the other clubs. Many have been critical of Chelsea's approach to winning this titile and Jose has adressed said critics suitably. If you can't see that he having a light hearted joke at the critic's expense than perhaps a visit to the opthalmologist is best!

I think before he would've done seeing as that was all he hadn't won but hopefully now after being gone and coming back all be different.want to create something long lasting sort of thing.

Yeah it could be that, but its Mourinho. If something realy clicks in his head that he wants to do SAF at Chelsea, then he will hopefuly stay.

But there are mindgames in him all the time and once (if) Inter gets back on top, he might manage them again. Or some other team in England.

Thing is he is the man who wants new challenges, new achievements; win titles with diff teams in different tournaments...on other hand he realy seems to like Chelsea. But we will see what is more important to him. Family could play big part though.

I see where you are coming from but you still expect some level of professionalism from the manager of a top flight football team.

Kudos for having the maturity and intelligence to refute my statement without resorting to gutter language though.

What sort of grown man walks/runs away over hostility from complete strangers and keyboard warriors over the internet. Life is way harder and harsher than that in the real world. That's such a pussy talk.

Moreover if I cared about being "accepted" I would just follow the crowd and kiss a lot of asses but that's not my style. Someone who's vying for acceptance or cared about the hostility would have changed his posting style a longtime ago.

Expect more brutal honesty and unadulterated posts from me in the future.

That's the spirit. The forum would be boring if everybody just agreed anyways

The world needs more shepards, but ones with valid opinions.

[Adnane 1,101]

So the reason you're actually posting this brutal honesty and unadulterated posts on the forum is just to avoid "riding the wave" ? Are your blue brothers chelsea fans too mainstream for you ?

I admit, I don't know you, not even your posts here before the mourinho moaning since I didn't visit a lote, but you still haven't answered the genuine question posted a bit earlier, why do you support Chelsea ?

How people love Chelsea and hate Mourinho at the same time is beyond me, it's like supporting Araenal and expecting to win, just impossible stuff dude.
