The Mourinho Thread

[Barbara 15,149]

Notice his sly dig at Lampard towards the end.

Actually I felt the whole thing was a dig at Lamps. I had this feeling even before I hit that part of the text.

To me is clear Mourinho is deeply disappointed by how Lamps handled this.

I am deeply disappointed by how Lampard has dealt with everything and I feel bad for people in the US who he has also shown little thought for.

Anyway best line I just heard on Match of the Day after showing Arsenal beat City (Yessss!!!!)

"...Somewhere in West London there is a Portuguese manager chuckling tonight..."

My local tv commentator said that there are two winners in yesterday match, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Yeah, clearly dig at him...“I love those quotes when Gerrard was saying that, in this life, he would never score against Liverpool.

He did though

Mourinho tells Chelsea fans to STOP Gerrard slip chant before League Cup semi

Gerrard almost, almost, almost joining Chelsea.

It's his decision. He has 'rejected' us. We have the 'rights' to sing what we want imo.

While I get his point and the obvious mock at Lampard, I won't comply! :ph34r2:

Anyone else (try to) talk like Mourinho when reading his quotes?..

The Gerrard song gets sung a lot by our fans and also loads of other fans, gets a bit boring now , but love it all the same

Respect Mourinho, but he sometimes gets it wrong, he is human, and anyway we can sing what we want paying all the millionaires wages. He was moaning about the lack of atmosphere a few weeks ago

I will continue singing the Gerrard song, hope it gets in his head an unravels him tomorrow (though it could back fire * shudders at mental image of him celebrating in front of us*)

That may be true but one would think there's also an element of mind games with what he said, trying to soften Gerard before the League Cup game.

Mourinho called for increased use of technology to aid referees, explaining that they are always saddened when he tells them after matches that television footage has proved them wrong. “I get the impression they are disappointed when they make mist akes,” he said. “Not one has the arrogance to say ‘I didn’t make a mistake, I am better than the television.’ When I say, ‘You made a mistake I just watched on TV,’ they are upset. I think there is not one referee or linesman who is not happy with goalline technology. I think goalline technology is fantastic. And every game I play now without goalline technology, in the Capital One Cup, the Champions League and so on, I am worried.”

A bit late but thought that was interesting. The old debate of technology into the game continues to keep coming up and up.

Yes you have the right to do whatever you want but do you not, as fans, claim you're the 12th player in the team? So why would you not listen to your manager's instructions the same way the other 11 do?

Stop talking as if you are in no way, shape or form related to your club's manager. You are a supporter and a part of the team. If the manager asks for better atmosphere, do your best to make a better atmosphere. If the manager asks to avoid signing a song, then avoid singing the fucking song.

Bless. I shall now sing it as loud as possible with everyone else.

Good for you. Go out there and make a mockery out of your manager's pleas. I'm sure it will do the club good.

A few years ago during a game between Real Madrid and Barcelona at Madrid's Stadium, Pepe purposely stepped on Messi's hand. On the second leg at Barcelona's stadium, the media was predicting a massive turmoil by the Barcelona fans against Pepe, comparable to what was done to Figo. Guardiola then came out in the press conference and demanded that the fans leave Pepe alone in the upcoming game. Fast forward to the game and Pepe heard nothing but a few occasional whistles.

That right there is a display of class and respect from fans who knew better than to disrespect the instructions of a manager who gave them so much.

Clearly, you don't seem to understand this concept of class and you strike me as the typical ungrateful and whiny supporter we see around here that asks for the manager's head after any bad result. It's a shame they've made you a mod.

Class not as in the Yank interpretation , but in the Marxist concept is the only one that matters.

Altogether now

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard, he slipped on his fucking arse,

He gave it to Demba Ba

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.
