The Mourinho Thread

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Seems to me that jose is very bitter and jealous that Benitez did something that Jose has never managed with us. Take us to major a European final and also win it. Sour grapes and all.

And after that he did not mention it a lot when we won the thing, apart from that cingeworthy interview when he rejoined us when he kept using the pronoun we, as though he should be given credit for it.

Did you remember that fully? he clearly stated and acknowledged that Roberto was the manager in that moment.

BBC' interview with José.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vZo-2cc6l0

another example is in this interview from previous page that I haven't watched until now.

He keeps saying 'we' and then when he has to say the team finished third and qualified to UCL he doesn't say we qualified, he says Chelsea qualified.

It's clear to me he doesn't take credit for a work he didn't did, but only uses we because 1) now he's part of the team 2) he's a Blue fan and as such he's entitled to use we as much as we are.

I completely agree with @Tomo and@The Skipper in this page, but I'm out of likes. I'll come here tomorrow when I have some. They're spot on imo

Yeah go onto the post match discussion of the Europa league final and all of the comments pretty say "meh" (sarcasm). At the end of the day wining any major trophy is something to cherish,and there was certainly no weak mentality of "at least there is still the Europa league", it just happened that circumstances put us there and we took advantage of it. I thought that was the 'winning mentality' so many cherish about.

And when winning it put us into an elite group who have won all major European competitions, then you can at least abide that its not as prestigious as the Champions league and celebrate how far Chelsea have come.

i think what he meant was we shouldn't get into it (europa) in the first place. Mourinho is a winner. until last year, i don't remember chelsea preparing for the possibility of getting out of CL in the group stages. he's come in and put things back in it's proper place

Jose Mourinho: "When you see the profile of this squad, it needs a manager for a long time"

(BBC)

[Shane 2,275]

And repeatedly getting knocked out of the semi-finals was a joy to watch. Ignoring the fact that we also won the Champions league and by winning the Europa league become one of the few teams to win all major European competitions, none of which were done by him with us.

Seems to me that he is very bitter and jealous that Benitez did something that Jose has never managed with us. Take us to major a European final and also win it. Sour grapes and all.

No, but bringing us to our first Premiership in 50 years, multiple cup winnings, Dominating the league two years in a row, Not losing a home game in the League was a joy.

Mourinho is jealous of nothing Benitez did. Mourinho is twice or three times the manager Benitez ever will be. Winning the Europa League wasn't a major achievement for the club, because we didn't want to be in it in the first place.

Also, we got knocked out of TWO European Semi Finals under Jose, hardly repeatedly, and if we only win the Europa League game, just as Jose stated, it will be a big disappointment, a disappointment that we were in it again.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I - as a fan - use we when I talk about Chelsea.

I don't think he takes credit that isn't his. In his interview when arriving in the club he said he didn't do anything to play the SuperCup against Bayern that that was all on the players and the previous manager. How much humbler than that does it get? I think you're being a bit harsh on him, mate.

Also why would he keep mentioning we won UCL. Everyone knows that. He doesn't mention all the time he won it with Inter and much less Porto...

I guess my gripe is that he seems to not know what wining the CL and the El in the last two seasons actually meant in terms of the new history the club is making. Even if the Europa league is not the competition that we compete in year after year. It would not hurt to let hat abide it because of what winning it does for us in the grand scheme of things. All that comment he made does seem to be a swipe at Rafa and trying to downplay it because he was not the one who was a part of it.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Did you remember that fully? he clearly stated and acknowledged that Roberto was the manager in that moment.

Was still cringewothy that he kept using the word we, as though he was part of it, to me its nothing more then to try and use sassy talk into fans ears to get the swooning over him because some people cling on to every word he says.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

No, but bringing us to our first Premiership in 50 years, multiple cup winnings, Dominating the league two years in a row, Not losing a home game in the League was a joy.

Also, we got knocked out of TWO European Semi Finals under Jose, hardly repeatedly, and if we only win the Europa League game, just as Jose stated, it will be a big disappointment, a disappointment that we were in it again.

Two semi-finals an the last round of 16.

At the end of the day winning a major trophy is still something to feel good about. So I interpret his comments as nothing more then a half-dig at Rafa and a bit of sour grapes that Rafa took us to a major European final, otherwise he might as well as belittle all the Fa cup finals we won because its not as prestigious as something like the Premier league.

I seem to remember when we won the final how everyone was pleased and proud about how winning the competition .put us into an elite group to have won all major European trophies (and knowing that because we are unlikely to compete in the Europa league for the next few years), now all of a sudden because Jose says that winning the Europa league is a disappointment because its not the Champions league everyone is going to look at that day with disappointment?

the idiot is back...

This thread was having a nice discussion going on with people with different opinions sharing them in a civilized manner. Don't try and spoil it with idiotic comments like that which comes across as nothing more then trying to start some kind of flame war.

Absolutely no need for that.

Because someone has a different opinion to you does not make them intellectually inferior.

well i know how these civilized discussions end with u... i have been down this road and burned big time... plus what are u arguing about? jose was signed one and a half month ago, we have yet to play a pre-season match with him, and the only thing he has done is try to get a strong squad for the up coming season which he already has by some good signings and trust in youth. so as i see it U r still pissed with the signing of MOU due to some stupid personal thing and are gonna use the same old arguments agaisnt him.

[didierforever 7,349]

Absolutely no need for that.

Because someone has a different opinion to you does not make them intellectually inferior.

what is the point of his opinion at the moment. he was arguing about the same points when we signed mou, we have not played a single match yet, have build up a strong squad with good signings and by putting trust in the youth players and he is STILL cribbing about jose using the word WE in his first interview... what sense is their in that argument???

plus even if he bloody hates mou(which is very weird for a chelsea fan), today is the first match and the start of something that can be so awesome , how can some1 still continue to ridicule him. he is doin it just to get quotes and some attention. as straigth as that.
