The Mourinho Thread

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Zero trophies in 623 days. 2 trophies out of a possible 14. Hated in Italy, Spain and now England. Have you ever asked yourself WHY he has so many haters? Don't you think this is incredibly strange for a manager/ How he criticizes his players in public? How he discusses players' weaknesses in public (Mata, De Bruyne, Torres, Hazard).

But have you ever wondered why Arsene is loved by every fan out there?

your ignorance is bliss ..Mourinho is a manager ,, Shankly set the standards by which managers are judged ,, DO some homework child

Culture is like jelly, the less you have it, the more you spread it.

He's still loved at the club where he managed. The tifosi of Inter still sing his name in every game and the Ulras sur of Madrid too, they even take his side against Casillas (they call him TOPO). All the portugese love him.

Carlo has 3 league titles in 15 years, not that impressive, Van gaal has many many failures (Barcelona second stint, second season at Bayern,...), Hiddink, Capello and Trapattoni are all very good managers but they are in the game for far more than José. Go ask bayern fans if they like tiki-taka.

We will see about the last paragraph, next year you'll see.

The fact that is was the extreme right wing nationalist, Ultras Sur that was the only supporter of Mourinho in his last days at Madrid tells you everything you need to know. Portuguese love him? They respect him, not love him. Even the Porto fans have mixed feelings of him given the way he left the club and his subsequent apathy towards that institution.

What you forget is how much Milan and other teams were or were not affected by Pre-Calciopoli Juventus. The fact is Ancelotti built a magnificent team that lasted for years and years (Inzaghi, Seerdof, Cafu, Dida, Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambroseni, Kaka, Sheva and so on) a team that dominated in Europe and played very stylish football. I don't think anyone can belittle Ancelotti's achievements to just his Serie A record. He has also won the leagues in Italy, England and France, won the CL 2 times, reached 3 finals (the joint highest with Ferguson) and has won many other domestic cup competitions.

I don't know whether you meant this tongue in cheek but Arsene is much much more respected and liked by other rival fans than is Mourinho, despite his constant moans. Wenger revolutionized English football in the late 1990's and I have nothing but respect for the man. This is why I was amazed at Mourinho's ridiculous "specialist in failure jibe"

Even Ferguson, the greatest manager in history would have never dared to say such a thing because he respects himself and the institution, Manchester United, that he represents.

It's not Wenger's fault that he has not yet managed a team with unlimited financial resources before, even though he's had many opportunities to do so. Ironically, Wenger might actually win something this year as well while Jose wins nothing.

Im starting to think some people are copying and pasting from RAWK or the daily star.

[Laylabelle 9,754]

Wenger does have that funky coat...

How dare you! We should be winning the title and the champions league every season! We want a better manager, like Jurgen Klopp who has won sooooo many trophies this season. We deserve better. /end sarcasm.

Oh yes the old imagine him with money line, the same line that was used on Moyes for years.

Simeone is on the verge off making Wenger's money excuse look very, very silly.

Oh and about Fergie, he told Wenger to 'shut his mouth' back in the 90's.

Can MrExcalibur get banned already? It's like he's stumbled into TalkChelsea by accident and meant to go to Arsenal Mania.

He's respected but did seem many agreed with Jose statement They may win a trophy but doesn't hide the fact once again they were up there for the title..come March/Feb down down they went again...he's good at that part.Comes without fail

[AndersonBLUE 819]

"This forums is so insufferable at time. I might leave if it continues like this. How dare anyone question Jose, his football or his weird behaviour? Are you not aware of the great things he did in his first spell at the club even though he's told us not to judge him by that?"

People like you blow things out of proportion. I've never said Mourinho hasn't made mistakes either. Get a fucking grip, spouting the same old shit in every post you make. Yes we get it, Mourinho has made some fuck ups this season. But he's also pulled off some great things too - what my point is, people need some perspective on the season as a whole.

Considering I was born in North London and have been a Chelsea fan all my life, saw my first game before Roman even knew what Chelsea was your comment is indeed hilarious.

But even besides that, I don't think you should be telling anybody who or what they can or cannot support. It sets a bad precedent. And I'm not even sure if your comment was cloaked with a bit of good ol' RACISM as well. I hope the mods are watching.

If you were born in London, then why do you have a Nigerian flag on here?

Whether I should or shouldn´t tell to support.... most folks here are getting tired of your constant drivel, I believe.

To have an opinion is one thing, but to hammer Jose every fucking day is getting ridiculous. Pretty soon you gonna blame him for your deficiencies.

As for your racist card, just wake up!

we were on top in May ,,once the Fa Cup final was 1st Sat in May ,, AFTER the league was over .. Does that mean we are the champions again .

[Jase 43,479]

Jose Mourinho said he had no regrets about returning to Chelsea as manager

I'm still sorry Carlo left

He might be controversial but MrExcalibur is stating facts. Mourinho is despised by other rival fans. Just look at the comments on skysports and goal for instance when we lost our match against Atletico. People rejoice at us failing. I am not bothered because I don't care what other people think. But he is spot on.

Wenger has not won anything for years at Arsenal but like people have said he has done a brilliant job over the years when you consider the resources they have compared to Mourinho. Like it or not it does look like Wenger will win a trophy this season with Mourinho trophyless. But I was looking the reactions when we lost against Sunderland, Atletico and compared it with teams such as Arsenal and he lost much more respect when he slated Wenger. Other fans/teams just hate us/Mourinho. I also think that is part of the reason Enrique of Liverpool made that jibe against us when we lost to Atletico.

Mourinho is generally hated by non-Chelsea fans. I respect him as I think he is a world class manager even though some of his antics annoys me. But just wanted to state that people need to stop casually throwing around him being a "fake fan". Comments like that. He may be controversial but his aforementioned post is spot on. Can't see how others disagree.

Idea for new TalkChelsea homepage banner: "If you want pretty, lightweight, pussy football go to Arsenal Mania, RAWK, or BarcaForum."
