The Mourinho Thread

[The only place to be 11,313]

Regular and repeated voices was the point I think Jose was making with a view to getting balanced media opinions.

Hoddle, Butch, Uncle Albert all are bit part players, as is Gullit who is as pro-Chelsea as they come. We must have made an impression on him, despite what dear Ken did to him! Minto rarely has any opportunity on his Spanish football show to make any comment on us. Cundy lost his gig on Sky as soon as he started to display any inkling of a pro-Chelsea bias that the masses would find unpopular.

I'd agree that Neville is pretty fair as regards us. Squeaky boy Carragher just pisses me off looking at him never mind having to listen to his tripe. Redknapp is full of soundbytes, clichés and un-original thoughts.

TVs a funny old thing. You see how dire some of the analysts are when there are major tournaments and they bring in the likes of Klinnsmann, Seedorf, Ballack etc. How Shearer has made a career as a tv personality of all things is beyond me, and why Sky use people like Niall Quinn is equally perplexing.

Hansen is very much on his way out, Lawrenson seems to be marginalised and then you get some really random ones like Dion Dublin and Kevin Kilbane. Then there's the shit-stirrers like Savage and Keane. The only bright spot is that Garth Crooks is rarely on our screens anymore. But Jamie Redknapp....he can wear a suit well but beyond that I can't think of anything he brings to football matches.

In theory we should have more faces on the screen because that late-90s team was full of fashionable, tv-friendly, cosmopolitan guys but a lot are involved in other areas of the game (Gus was getting a lot of tv time but is obviously now tied-up in Sunderland). I think we'll see a few more Chelsea faces on screen in the next 5 years.

Here in the States we have Graeme Le Saux, but he doesn't want to talk about CFC. He wants to come off as a Neutral. Burley still talks about his time on CFC on ESPN FC, but he also like to joke about the Blues back in the day.

To be fair to Neville he aint too bad and is usually always fair. It's townsend and bias idiots who do the most of the commentary that annoys me. If we aren't playing like Barca, Chelsea is always shit and under performing according to them.

[Phil Driver 503]

Only two pundits get my respect ,Hoddle and Souness,both understand the game and speak without bias and whose views are worth listening to.

Shearer is perfect for the BBC and highlights,Mary Poppins is the perfect nickname for him off the pitch ,hard b@stard on it .

A lot of them are fearful of Mourinho and what he will achieve at Chelsea ,the good thing is Mourinho will not let any of them take the p1ss out of Chelsea and he will always be one step ahead of them,yesterday was a great example of that . Yellow card Suarez and Penalty Hazard clear ,next.

Man U etc win 1-0 on a dodgy performance its a sign of champions.We do it then its the start of a crisis blah blah

Neville impressed me when he first started when he was saying about how Man U couldn't moan about not getting penalty decisions when they played so poorly that they couldn't win by doing it themselves..something like that.Bit oooo lalala

look at how affectionately he hugs those guys and how they look happy with him there.

excuse me and my lame tearing up

[Barbara 15,149]

excuse me the double post, but this deserves a post of its own.

This man is a legend in this club, but most of all, he's indeed one of us.

When I first read these sentences by him I expected him to have said them laughing, joking. But look at his face... he's dead serious.

here's the vid: http://yvett.es/post/71624536131/when-i-retire-in-75-years-old-i-go-to-be-a

See if for one moment he's laughing. He isn't. I mean, ofc he's not serious about becoming a pundit, but he's serious about how those guys are biased and we'll never defend Chelsea or even talk positively about us.

ONE OF US!!!!

It's so funny reading this thread from before the match till after it. It's like you suddenly moved to a completely different thread. The change in tone is hilarious

thats why his players will go to war for him

[Phil Driver 503]

Jose is like a hawk ,he misses nothing and all these little things add up . All these so called pundits like to have their little digs at Chelsea and some of them will even praise players that they know are not good enough for Chelsea who play for us ,none of it escapes Mourinho ,he is wise to it all and nothing gets past him . He does not win trophies everywhere he manages by luck .

Now he has planted the thought in every referees mind that these pundits are biased and their comments are not without prejudice against Chelsea,it is all part of his management method . Yellow card Suarez (diving) and Penalty Hazard ,now whose opinion counts for more a pundit or the multiple trophy winning manager who tamed Fergie?

[sutro 1,026]

All these parking the buss and counter attacking Posts make me sick!

We are Chelsea and we are playing at home against a mid-table team that accidently have bought a worldclass striker.

We gonne destroy them!

Suarez?gonne be in Terry's pocket whole game long and we have superior players in any other positions on the field.

Have some faith, we got this!!

Sunday night we Will be the winners!

Well i didnt change my tone!

The tone will change if we drop points Weds?Whatever day of the week we play or the next time we do,Up down etc

[Laylabelle 9,754]

The comments just lol!!!!

[The_Flash 1,144]

That is an absolute joke, did the mirror write that load of rubbish. Absolute nonsense. Then picking out random ex hell sea pluses who are rarely on tv is just silly. It is the Liverpool ones that we have one ire commentating on most games and now particularly having to listen to redknapp and carragher.

[Phil Driver 503]

Victims again ,I dont think so !!! And what about the Suarez push on Ramires for their goal last season at Stamford Bridge and the disgraceful bite on Ivanovich that was the act of an animal and Suarez even then pretended to be injured and was not sent off ,before scoring the equaliser after the added on time had elapsed.

It is in their DNA ,one posters avitar on here sums them up perfectly - Liverpool FC Ashamed of nothing - Offended by Everything .

[Laylabelle 9,754]

Its got a bit boring now..Jose said this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.Aint like he's the first one to say it.Grow up and move on.Hope that letter is from someone at the mirror cause someone has way to much time on their hands if not

[The_Flash 1,144]

It's remind me of Celtic here they are always cheated never defeated. Whoever wrote that rubbish, what a. ***

It really is underestimated the part Jose will play in the title race if we are still in touch late on. People seem to look at City's squad and assume they will run away with it, they didn't run away with it in the last two season's and given they still have all the top sides bar us to play away, i can't see them walking it this time either.

People made the same mistake with us in 08/09, looked at our squad and said yeah on paper it's the best squad so Chelsea will walk the league, but United had Ferguson and we had a manager with no experience in a European league, that factor plays a big part.

We have got a serial winner, while look at who our opposition have got.

City have Pellegrini, now don't get me wrong, i think he is a good coach and i rate him very highly, the work he did at Villareal deified logic, but can he hold his nerve in the business end? can he got to Anfield and get the draw City need? time will tell.

Arsenal have Wenger, was a winner, but his teams have bottled any chance of the title for years now, that will be a factor.

Liverpool have Rodgers, who in my opinion is similar to Ranieri, good at building a side and getting them playing good football, but can he drag his teams through the finish line? Same with Martinez in Everton.

United have Moyes, well, yeah, no explanation needed. But they do have players that won't lose the winning mentality from Fergie overnight, so if United can quietly creep up, they might have a say in the race yet inspite of Moyes.

Inter under Jose and Roma under Ranieri had a tight title battle in 09/10, but did any one have any doubt that it would be Jose's Inter coming out on top? even when Roma leapfrogged them for a week, all the sensible money was still on Inter.

Im not saying we will defiantly win it but If we can keep right up in this race, we will feel a lot more confident with our manager than our rivals will with their's, that is for sure.

[The_Flash 1,144]

They used to say Fergie gave Utd more points I think Jose does that for us, he gives us belief and as JT said we have our identity back, we have the special one back and we can be special

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the first "Mourinho Out!" thread. Took longer than usual this time around
