Mourinho | New old Chelsea manager

To some of you lads, whatever he does will never please you. If he is arrogant, you will be like "oh feck his cocky ass" and if he is humble, then "oh he is fake, prefer his arrogant ass".
 
There was nothing fake about what we just saw. Some people just want an excuse to dislike Mourinho.

I love Mourinho, I just prefer it when he's himself. In fact, he's kind of being himself there, i.e, self-centred.

If he's never done anything of the sort before, isn't it fair to think he might be just playing politics now? Win-win for him, he antagonizes Real (just put yourself in the place of their fans) and sweetens his image among United fans.

When there's nothing of the sort to gain, he doesn't act like that.
 
Yeah he has no credentials of his own.

So is trying to suck up to United and its fans.

Also Fergie, United are so stupid they will fall for his fake modesty.

:lol: Grow you people!

Yes, we heard you the first time :)
 
I'm one of Mourinho's haters, but I thought he behaved pretty well tonight.. Why can't he always be like that??

P.S. Cold_Boy, are you going to post that every 5 minutes to entertain us a bit?
 
And this result could actually save his Madrid career depending on how far they go in the Champions League. Hopefully he stays there for at least another year because he is the only one who contract situation suits us so he can take over when Fergie retires possibly in a year or two.
 
I hope we get him when Fergie decides to step down.
 
I take back everything I've said about him, classy behaviour tonight and no antics from his team either


Yep, humble, almost apologetic in victory. Classy.

I'm sure he didn't want to win by default in that manner.
 
Some people are really overreacting on here. What did you people want him to say? just something else to moan about, I guess.

I'd love him to take over from SAF.
 
It's not like he does it all the time he wins due to a mistake or luck.

It's the first one I remember (not saying he never done it before, but I never noticed). He's being twatish to Real fans if this is all he has to say about the game. Would be more understandable in the context of a deeper analysis of the events. Real was lucky and possibly undeserving, but they still scored two brilliant goals.

Not so sure he's being twat-ish to Real fans; if he feels there might be backlash from them regarding that comment he can pre-empt it very easily with some sort of "fans, managers, players alike we are all lovers of football and on this night it was not football that decided the outcome, and I have no doubt most fans of the club and of football will have no trouble agreeing with this" type of statement.

I've never followed Mourinho closely as you will have, but based on this incident his instincts seem very good. And I suppose it's no accident SAF respects him.

The position he's taken is a very defensible one.
 
I think he wants the United job, and you'd be crazy to think Sir Alex hasn't spoken to him about it, even if only tongue-in-cheek over a bottle of wine.

If Sir Alex were step down in May, I think Mourinho would take us over. When the sad time does come though, I'd expect Mourinho will have lost patience and taken the boring Chelsea job or some shit.
 
Yup! His comments were class.

His comments were shit. He's Real manager, not United's manager. Like I said above, it would have been class of him to acknowledge this sort of stuff in a wider appreciation of the game, but in a flash interview, when your team scored two brilliant goals and had an important away win against one of the thoughest opponents in the competition, reducing your comments to just that and pretending to be almost upset by it it's stupid.

He didn't even celebrate the CL victory with Porto properly, had the same fake attitude he had today. He lives to win games and break records, he dreams of becoming the first manager to win 3 CL's, and you think he's bothered because there was a refereeing mistake?

It's just politics. He didn't become a classier man today. And bordering on the disrespectful to his employers and fans.

Like someone said above, I'd rather see it from him after a loss before believing he's being humble.

Aye. If he said 'well, that's football, that's the way it goes sometimes, we won, that's that', people would have said he lacks respect and doesn't give credit. Give it a rest, it's pathetic.
 
He can sincerely feck off, all the nice words won't be enough after tonight

This. I'm really bitter.

feck him. feck Ronaldo. feck Madrid. feck them all. Hope they get trounced 10-0 in every game for the next 10 years.

Sevilla.

“I am only worried about my team,” Mourinho said. “I am worried that since the season started officially we have only really played well in the Spanish Super Cup.

“Nowhere else. More than the points I am worried that in this moment I don’t have a team,” he added. Usually a loss for his side would provoke a diatribe against the referee, the weather or anything or anyone else he could blame the result on.

However, Mourinho admitted that Real didn’t deserve to get anything out the match.

“Congratulations to Sevilla, they deserved to win without any doubt,” the Portuguese admitted. “We got the prize we deserved considering how badly we played.”

I just don't think that's instincts. It's a carefully premeditated thing. I love the man, he's a winner, and gave plenty to my club. I'm just more surprised at the sudden empathy towards him for something which is clearly bollocks. He's won games with refereeing mistakes before, he's won games in which his team has been inferior and this has never been his modus operandi.

Clearly the right thing to do, if so many people are going to buy it. Far more humble people than Mourinho would be celebrating tonight and putting the "best team lost" crap in a footnote.
 
To be fair, I don't blame Madrid. A lot of their players seemed as shocked as ours.

But yes, just because I have the right to be a little bitter after that - I do hope they get knocked out. They didn't deserve to go through.

No.

But i have no idea how I posted that again after a 5 min gap?
 
Funny thing is if it happened the other way he'd have been telling everyone how United are being helped by UEFA>

He's saying it because his team got through, he's got no class.
 
Jose Mourinho: "Arbeloa told me he thought Nani didn't even see him."
 
Suspicious behaviour but I prefer it to him running down the touchline like a knob.

I can understand that from a United fan, but shouldn't his priority be his own fans?

I can tell you I enjoyed that run a lot more than his cnutish attitude after we won the CL. He didn't celebrate at all. He had it all sealed with Chelsea by then, and had a superior attitude all over him.
 
Another example of how he's lucky rather than special.

The disallowed goal v Porto would have put them out early, instead they went onto win the cup.

The infinite money with Abramhovic.
The quality outfit and money at Inter
The quality outfit and money at Madrid.

Let's hope he doesn't ride up at City. It's like full circle back to the chelsea days if he goes there

But it doesn't matter what he says, you've made your mind up. You're acting like he said "Hahaha. I am the special one. I beat the boss.". I respect what he said tonight, whatever his motives.

His priority should be to be truthful. You shouldn't bullshit just because it's your own team. When Moyes came out and condemned Neville diving nobody blasted him for not sticking up for his team and club, they praised him for telling it how it is.

Now Mourinho does the same and there are hidden agendas at play and he's wrong for doing it. It's a sad day when people can't just speak their mind and be truthful. Being loyal to your team shouldn't extend to talking bullshit that everybody can see through. It should be applauded when someone says what they feel.

If the fans of his club can't deal with him telling the truth then that's their problem. We'd applaud SAF for doing the same.
 

Ok.

Still thinking he's overreacting and faking here. It's not so much that he said "the best team lost" but rather that was the only thing he said in his first interview after the game.

I don't remember such chivalry in regards to Scholes disallowed goal against Porto :lol:

What a load of bullshit.
 
Mourinho has shown nothing but clas over the two legs to be fair.

I'm not sure it's class, or humility, or any such noble gesture. He's just trying to butter us up so that we don't reject him when he puts himself forward to take over as manager.

It doesn't mean he doesn't believe it mind you. But it's not the sort of thing he's ever said before, so I can only summise that it's self-serving.
