The Mourinho Thread

[GodZola 630]

There's a line the size of a cruiser between fair criticism towards players and manager and the spoiled moaning from people that love to criticize. I don't know what's rational, fair, and so special in the arguments and reasonings a few have going on here like a broken record (thankfully they're only a few, otherwise I would have stopped coming here a long time ago, there's so many people I can have on my ignore list). They worship other managers and players - that make mistakes and have bad matches as anyone else, but they ignore completely when those teams and managers do badly. They also overly criticize Mourinho and Chelsea when things are bad or not ideal, but guess what? They take disappearing tea when things are well. This is not a case of greener grass, but downright unhappiness, bitterness and crankiness. Someone could defend them and say they're the kind of people that are perfectionists, that demand and expect a lot from others - be it the team, the manager, the board, the club. But some aren't anything else but narcissists that want to be proven right - even if it means the team's pitfall while others are just grumpy.

Now, when people that can say the difference between fair criticism and bratty endless complaining have something to say, I'm sure most people won't react as if they were spoiled bitches and call them on their moaning because then it won't be moaning, but criticism.

The team should have expanded the lead before the Matic episode, regardless of how awful the officiating have been and how it had clearly harmed us in the end. You could see the team was trying, they weren't complacent and lacking interest like we did some times last season. It's just that we didn't do it. Burnley played well against a few big teams, they were lucky today, had the referee favor, and we weren't clinical when we should have. That's what leads are for, for when matches get complicated and you just can't get the result, you still continue ahead. No team is going to win 100% of their points til the end of the season despite some here believing City, Aguero, Simeone, Atletico, Coutinho, etc are perfect and never fail, despite what their positions in the table say. Poor unlucky souls, they aren't leading their leagues, but awful bastards such as Mourinho, Costa, Fabregas, Chelsea are. This world is so unfair.

Careful Barbara, You're getting too 'rational'!!! You nailed it again but you're a much better person than I, as I would add a little sarcasm just to be mischievous!

There's irony in this as the so called pro José camp do criticize him, however its just not incessant or the same old droning bollocks after a poor result/performance. I have no problem with criticism, afterall we all see things differently & to be fair there are some careful constructive posts that are on the money, unfortunately they get deluged by the plethora of the same old.

Here we are again today with José doing his utmost to back his club & 'stick it up em' they say you don't appreciate something good/great til its gone, well we can all go back to the Spanish waiter or AVB days, or as Tomo put it, the place goes in overdrive when we play shit, draw or lose but its like a morgue in here when we play well.

That dig at Wenger!

Erm, cancer? Child abuse? Caging animals? Climate change? Crime? Censorship? Cyber bullying? Corruption? Capital punishment?...etc.

I like this game

[ZOS 580]

I'm still pissed off over the result but I'm glad Jose owned the tools at sky

[Adnane 1,101]

Pardew speaking about the refs too, José might have just said out loud what all managers and players think down low, and that might set the ground for a crescendo war with the FA, not necessarily positive, but it's already making pressure on the refs.

Sir Alex has been doing it for over 25 years, and that's exactly the kind of mind tricks he did to get to 13 Premier League trophies and numerous cups. He even said it himself, the Fergie Time clock trick, doesn't even know what the time is, just putting pressure on the refs.

Richard Keys on Jamie Redknapp...

So Mourinho turns up Sunday morning on Sky Sports. My first question was 'what is a highly paid BT ambassador doing on Sky?' A quick call or two later and I had the answer.

It was all pre arranged. It was a decision made at the 'highest' levels of the broadcaster and Chelsea as they tried to clear the air after recent problems between the two, started by something Jamie Redknapp said I'm told. I don't know for sure because I'm busy doing my own job when he's on air.

I can believe the suggestion though. I lost count of the times I had to calm him during the many occasions I worked with him. There's a guy at Arsenal can thank his lucky stars there was glass between him and Redknapp the night of the 4-4 v Spurs at the Emirates. Jamie lost the plot completely. He wanted to fight him. It was the last time we let him work on a game that one of his Dad's teams was playing in. He would often get too close to individuals he liked, or not, and couldn't offer objective opinions.

Proper bitchy move by Keys there. Needless for him to wade in. Pair of cunts.

Lies, Redknapp wouldn't want anything to do with something that might put a hair out of place or his tie out of center.
