The Mourinho Thread

[Styles 9,790]

It works both ways, I have seen Liverpool fans show Hodgson more respect than a few select members (not you mate) here show the club's best ever manager.

I think those guys are nothing but trolls who shouldn't be taken seriously. I may or may not have said some pretty harsh stuff about Mourinho before (tactics mainly, I think ), but on the whole I'd say I'm balanced; I give him and every Chelsea player/manager etc both praise and criticism when I think it's due.

I will, however, never understand the 'Mourinho is always right and can do no wrong' camp. Get a grip, man. It's as if anything that even resembles a slight difference in opinion gets shouted down.

That's the kind of overreaction that makes me believe that for some people Mourinho is God. Someone just said that, from his point of view, it's disrespectful to leave before the end of the game and you start complaining about how it's harder to come back on this forum and threating that you won't do it anymore one day.

Mourinho isn't a God, you think I consider him that. Some people may not be fools, but I consider them just that. See the similarity? You're making an assumption, I'm making another.

He isn't a God, he's doing nothing wrong. In Brazil many managers don't even greet each other. I can't be arsed or bothered by something so small. But you can.

Have fun moaning ... I'll have mine watching the team play or analyzing it.

In Brazil, a referee got murdered on the field one year ago, so I don't think that bringing the Brazilian example is a smart thing to do in this situation (no disrespect to the Brazilians).

I'm not the one who threatened to leave the forum because there are people with a different opinion than mine, so I don't know who's the one 'arsed or bothered'.

Actually, I remember seeing Jose leave 1 or 2 games early at Real Madrid during extra time when he was losing for more than 1 goal. It's just that that almost never happens so it's a rare sight. I actually remember seeing that more than once when he was losing to Barcelona.

The game is over. There is nothing left to see. At the end of the game, you can either be a sensitive little bitch about it or take it like a man, go home and do a better job next time.

In this video of the Euro final where Spain beat Italy 4-0, Casillas asks the referee to have respect for Italy and end the game during extra time because the result was 4-0. According to your logic, this was disrespectful to Italy because the game was not over yet.

Let me ask you this, would it kill him or hurt him to wait just a few seconds longer until the game is officially over like majority of managers do?. What's the point of leaving early. . . . it must be to ensure his bubble bath doesn't get cold

[zolayes 14,489]

I wonder why he never leaves early when we are losing or drawing a game. I totally agree with you. It's disrespectful and unnecessary.

Agree ,, he is just trying again to show he is different .. JUST an act and rather childish

Styles and Cosmin are poor lads.

Was he? Didn't know about it. Just because something bad happened here, it doesn't mean I couldn't use this as an example. Please, grow up. Something bad happen every day in every frigging country in the world, but only children would use that to stop an argument.

I'm not getting tired of the forum because of disagreements, but because the moaning is unbearable. I'm a positive person, I like to read intelligent, insightful or at least funny things. Sorry if I'm bothered by negativism, by spoiled children and Debbie Downers. Not to say the stupid posts.

The same comparison between Hazard and every single soul to have played football is tiresome. Dissecting Mourino's every move to moan about him is tiresome. Labeling people Mourinho's worshipers is tiresome. Hating on Frank Lampard is tiresome. Being hateful/impacient towards our young players is tiresome. Wanting to replace our team as if this was Fantasy Football or FIFA is tiresome. Wanting every player rated 85+ on FIFA is tiresome.

Everyone is entitled to have their opinion, doesn't mean I have to be bothered to read the same repetitive moaning bullshit over and over and over and over and over and over again. Got it now?

Last year Mourinho ignored a manager - don't remember who - I've criticized him hard for that because he's an ambassador for this club. He represents us and disregarding someone that came to greet you is disrespectful and something a manager shouldn't do. There's no mistake on my part about how human he is. It doesn't mean I have no nitpick everything he does and put it under the microscope so I can moan when there's nothing else except a 10-day old match to complain.

We won convincingly against Villa, we're still 5 points clear our biggest rival in the title's race, but people are still regurgitating about his 'coward' tactics that could win us the title. Now we're onto how disrespectful he is for doing something he's been doing for years. He's said it many times: when the players do their job and win a title or just have a great match he leaves them to receive the praise from the support. If he's arrogant doing that, it's our opinion, but that's the reason he gave in the past.

Like the other member said above, it's true, he's left matches he was hopelessly losing too. One of those TERRIBLE first halves we had last season he went off to the dressing room a few minutes early, looking very pissed and later on players said he was harsh in the conversation he had with them.

But hey, we're top of the league, he didn't play defensively this week, we actually were able to break a solid defense, he didn't pick up fights with any managers, our team won convincingly. Great time to pick whatever little detail and talk shit about it for hours. Why spend time praising our manager for changing our identity, for making us win easily matches even against complicated opponents. Why praise our players for the flawless presentation. Why talk about our defense finally having a clean sheet again.

No, it's time to moan about something he's done 10892398439578 times before. why no one chose to moan each of those times is a mystery... or not. They probably had something 'better' to moan back then.

So to avoid becoming a moaner myself - even if I moan about the moaning, it's better to avoid the forum. I actually enjoy having mature, insightful, intelligent, coherent and reasonable conversations - even when I'm in the disagreement. To keep coming here to read the stuff I mentioned about is tiresome FOR ME. Do I still have a right to be bothered by it? Or I should just open my mouth and continued to be fed the same old shit over and over again?

Jose is One of the best managers we have had but also one of the LEAST likeable .

More likeable than Benitez! at least for chelsea fans. I know you are talking about least likeable in general.

[The_Flash 1,144]

was there a video of the press conference with jose and willian for CL

[Milan 17,997]

It is pretty disrespectful though in my honest opinion. I don't get why he has to disappear 5 minutes before the game has finished; just shake hands at the end of the game like everybody else, everything else can wait.

I actually laughed when I saw that on MOTD2 last night and thought 'well done, Lambert' to be honest. Hopefully Mourinho stops doing that leaving early nonsense.

I must agree, though. I think it is disrespectful from both sides here to be honest. Keane's facial expression is priceless, though.

[ballackstothat 43]

i cannot believe some of the shit posted on this thread, some people are moaning about the game before last STILL and comparing man city chelsea to a game of FIFA, not hard to see to where they get their football knowledge from is it! the inside of a plastic box. six games 5 points clear demoralised arsenal at the weekend. happy days for some, not if your a space cadet tho!

[ballackstothat 43]

The only thing missing from roy keane, is a can of super tennents. has his wife not told him he looks like a tramp, i'll have to open a twitter account and tell him. yipeee

Least likeable if you don't support Chelsea, if he was your manager you would suddenly love him..

You know he is human afterall...maybe he just has to take a piss and cant hold much longer

[Term-X 7,892]

Mourinho is actually the most likeable thing about 2014 Chelsea (now the English backbone has gone), it's what separates us from faceless/soulless Man-City.. he's a character and a media darling. Only single-minded fans of other clubs dislike him..

When you have charisma you can get away with anything.

your birthday is very apt

I suppose you think you have charisma as well.

I suppose you believe someone gives a damn fuck about your opinion about Mourinho
