The Mourinho Thread

Then bringing up 2004 and Porto winner - that was 11 years ago! That's like saying VW were emissions compliant last year

Context mate. Context.

[Gappy 130]

I still think his press conferences are embarrassing - he's just way too confrontational

The media is always a double edged sword - stop looking petulant and grumpy and just smile at them

His body language is awful - he gulps a lot - he doesn't air confidence - a huge percentage of communication is non verbal and I felt little confidence he will turn this around.

He needs some PR training.

There was a question about Dignity - the perfect chance to say - look, I might have got some things wrong, it happens - I want to leave that in the past and just move forward. Job done - everyone gets their little sound bite - but he refused to answer. Just stupid IMHO

Then bringing up 2004 and Porto winner - that was 11 years ago! That's like saying VW were emissions compliant last year

If he smile you will told he care shxx about the situation ...

Did you actually hear what he said about that ?

Don't be surprised that you don't get his point if you don't bother to listening and actually understanding it.

I thought today was handled as well as we could have hoped for tbh.

Some of the media discussions over the past few days have been nothing short of disgraceful but they are never accountable, not as much as say a Premier League manager anyway. They can write whatever they want to a degree and get away with it. It was painfully obvious that Jose didn't want anything to do with that media press conference today, and I for some part cannot blame him, papers like the Mirror (represented by that prick Darren Lewis I think today) were trying to get a rise out of him asking probing questions, he says nothing much at all and on their twitter feed they compare him to David Brent. Do they want respectful responses or not? I know Jose is his own worst enemy when it comes to the media, HOWEVER, the media themselves should be ashamed of themselves for the stories they have allowed to be published from terrible sources. None so much as the BBC who I believe are a shell of themselves in terms of respectability.

But I think these are the times that we are living in, the media is catering for people now who don't care so much about substance or whatever important is going on in the world today, it's more to do with who's shagging who, who's stabbing who in the back with catty comments. It was only a matter of time before this sort of journalistic cesspool became a huge part of sports media as well. These sensationalised stories and rumours are doing my fucking head in and I feel ashamed that people are taking them seriously. I would much rather listen to three hours of Neville, Carragher and Lamps talking about proper footballing issues than twats like Neil Ashton, Darren Lewis sensationalising and turning this into a fucking soap opera. (Even more so than Jose has done in his response to them and referees this season).

I thought he played it off very well. Not happy, but not overly stroppy. Didn't throw his toys out the pram nor take his ball home. Steve Atkins deserves praise for firmly and decisively cunting off the BBC. JT was 100% behind the manager and found the time to cunt off Robbie Savage, which isn't a bad days work.

Jose has publicly defended the players, tomorrow night, its up to each and every one of them to repay his faith.

Good one JT..destroyed Robbie Savage

In the future could you report posts that you feel break the rules so they can be dealt with in a more timely fashion? The staff can't be everywhere and things slip through every now and then.

Thanks.

No reason to report when one of your mods liked the post.

[Rhino's Skin 972]

LOL...

Every player will say it's not him... Nobody will say in public it's me who said I'd rather lose than win for this coach...

in that case ...can we go down the 'spartacus' route...I'm Spartacus, no I'm Spartacus

[Henrique 9,133]

Terry is saying players are fighting for Jose. Thats speaks loud about what is happening in the club since 2013.

Jose, you never predicted in 2004 one day you would get bad results like that. Even a specialist in failure like Wenger never had such bad results. Your bad results started a long ago. 4-1 trashing to Borussia, 5-0 Barcelona demolishion and even the failure to score a goal in 180 minutes against a poor 5th placed Premier League side, named Liverpool, in 2005 UCL semi-final.

Pretty pathetic interview from both.

What a stupid thing to say. Just because one person 'liked' it doesn't mean action won't be taken. In fact action was taken, I warned Melancius for it.

[Changingman_2000 876]

Friend of mine, Celtic fan (not that that matters),is heavily into twitter. It would seem that over the last hour or so, Costa is the one being fingered for the press leak.

Did he actually say he has 3 years and 7 months to turn things around?

[Rhino's Skin 972]

well that was an entertaining presser.

But I know there is a few on here that dont take any notice of them.....so for those ones, just disregard any comments our club captain made

[Henrique 9,133]

Indeed he said.

Indeed he means 3 days and 7 hours.

[Rhino's Skin 972]

that said,

what level would that be? 2nd-tier? i'm sure 2nd-tier managers nowadays do learn from their pees. i'm sure the top tier ones do too.

do they really learn from their urine sample?

first Hazard, then Fabregas...now Costa. Wonder who it will be by tomorrow?

[Henrique 9,133]

Keep dreaming mate.

Okay. Mourinho is keeping his job not matter the results. Ancelotti and AVB said the same weeks before getting the sack.

[Changingman_2000 876]

Oh I know. I don't use Twitter myself but, from what I've been told that is the name doing the rounds quite strongly.
