The Mourinho Thread

supporter, you're a Spaniard. How would you say the general opinion in the media was towards him compared to the English media's? I always had this impression that the Spanish media was so much more sensationalist than the English pieces of dogcr*p, but now I'm starting to think that the Spanish didn't have an agenda and insulted him rightfully, like when his team got humiliated by Barca or Dortmund.

I don't believe there's a conspiracy against Chelsea. Mourinho loves to create a siege mentality in his teams wherever he goes. It's his method of operation and he's been doing it for years. Do you really believe that Mou thinks there's a conspiracy against us? Pleeeeeeaaaassse. Maybe cowardice and inconsistency on the part of the officials but a flat out conspiracy? Hell no!

Refs are cowards and are afraid to make big calls these days. City were denied a penalty against Southampton and so were we; but they won and we didn't. They got screwed over by the refs again against Hull but it actually cost them that time. Is there a conspiracy against City? No, just shitty refereeing. And let's not not forget the match against Liverpool where we were lucky to come away with the win after the Cahill handball was "missed" by the ref.

I watched the Newcastle vs Southampton match a couple weeks ago and in the dying minutes Newcastle were denied a penalty when a SH player handled in the box. The ref saw it but was too scared to make the call. No conspiracy just shameful officiating.

People say "oh but look at what happened to Diego he got banned but Aguero didn't!" Was it unfair? Yea, but there's something called the Halo effect and sometimes punishments are dished out based on perception. Diego is a hardened roughhouser and Aguero is a saint by comparison. And it plays a part in everything, whether it's the media, fans or the officials.

Oh my. This.

Hope neutrals get that the fucking hate Mail has an agenda against Mourinho. This sort of deplorable articles are evidence enough.

:lol: How is that an agenda against Mourinho? He himself said that the Premier League is better with him and that's why the journalists took that up as a debate.

If you read through the views, you'll find that most of them like to have Mourinho in the league. But even if they don't, there will always be people who dislike Mourinho. No humans are well liked by everyone anyway.

It just depends on how one go about expressing that dislike I guess. For instance, Neil Ashton...

NEIL ASHTON

We are back in September 2007 territory, when football had earned a well-deserved break from the Chelsea manager.

When Steve Holland, one of the most mild-mannered men in the game, loses his dignity on the bench by copying the mannerisms of Rui Faria and Silvino Louro by leaping off his seat and shouting indiscriminately, you know the game is in trouble.

Their present behaviour is tarnishing the image, what's left of it, of the sport. Quite why Chelsea think this is acceptable is beyond the rationale of any human.

An utter twat who has completely over-exaggerated the situation!

While, I can't really go as in-depth as the brilliant Supporter has done, I'm not Spanish and my understanding of the language is pretty rudimentary, there is a pretty good movie on Youtube that explains Mourinho's tumultuous relationship with the press in Spain. It's long, but it's pretty interesting.

I came here to comment on this article and you beat me to it; I try to never comment specifically on that filthy rag, but this one has crossed the line.

DM are nothing but a bunch of filthy animals who will say anything to sell a newspaper; even though they secretly love Mourinho because they'd have nothing to write about otherwise.

In September they were all teary eyed about his return and now Aston is insinuating (with his 1-1 with Reading reference) that Jose should be sacked if he doesn't stop celebrating, being passionate and defending his team? Honestly, fuck right off Neil Ashton you absolute cunt. Brainless diatribe that make their hate for all things Chelsea so transparent, while also making the 'campaign' not such a fantasy after all.

This is honestly the worst Aston article ever (and that says A LOT), I'd love to meet this man to tell him what an absolute fool he is. I hope José bans this fucking mong from the press conferences or at least just gives him simple yes/no answers to everything. What a wanker.

Don't worry lads, all of this is going to make it so much sweeter when we win the league.

He's a gormless bastard on par with wind-up merchants like Adrian Durham. The DM moderators have also started deleting comments calling out Ashton. The Daily Mail editors have no shame for giving that clown a platform to publish such nonsense.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Further proof that this Neil Ashton character is mentally challenged.

This is only about 2 months into Mourinho's second spell in charge. It's particularly enlightening the way he writes as if he's privy to information about Chelsea that no one else is.

And then there's this from a couple of months earlier.

What a weirdo.

There's also a some xenophobia, for lack of a better word, at work here. See the way Jamie Redknapp, a fairly average player in his day, speaks about one of the most successful managers of all time. Mourinho's offence? A sarcastic post match interview on how the obviously biased officiating in our title run-in last season ended our titles hopes.

Would Redknapp ever have spoken that way about Sir Alex Ferguson? No. Or even any ordinary British manager? Somehow I doubt it. But he knows he can berate the outspoken foreigner who many people don't like and get away with it. Where was Redknapp when Ferguson used to publicly berate referees with impunity when his team didn't win? Same thing with Ashton. Would he ever have written that article about Ferguson? Of course not.

Well Ferguson proved the critics wrong everytime.

The you can't win anything with kids ring a bell?

Mourinho hasn't won in some time.

And once he does it again and continously they will be mostly silent.

Winning the league won't stop Ashton or Redknapp from rubbishing Mourinho though. These people are obsessed with him. Anytime I listen to the Sunday supplement, it's always Ashton saying : Mourinho this, Mourinho that. Same with Redknapp. 90% of the chelsea related articles he writes are about Mourinho.
