Mourinho still getting his players to cheat

[red g]

I love that.

How meaningful one game has suddenly become

imagine if it would have been at home as well, his reputation would be ruined ...........

[Craig_H]

Everything he's done and won has been completely wiped out and ruined - he is now officially a **** manager. All down to one game.

[red g]

when you are asbig as cunt as he can be......and succesful,people will take any showing of weakness however small as a great victory and pounce

He is the Simon Cowell of football management.

[Fredo]

He's not ****, he's just been given a good old footballing lesson (and tactical) from a team assembled with less money.

A team that is worth a lot more though. They have around 5 of the best that came through their youth system.

Yes, that's the point. Mourihno does seem to thrive in reviving teams fortunes, big up his ego along the way, then leave. Join teams with huge financial backing, makes it a lot easier. He's done well for himself though, hats off to him. He's got a big mouth and he's willing to walk the talk.

As opposed to an assembled team of 'galacticos'. Where will that leave Madrid when Mourihno will have had enough there?

[Craig_H]

He's been there for 4 months, hardly long enough to have established his side yet.

Madrid has been that way since I can remember. You can hardly blame Mourinho for that one.

[Fredo]

2/3 years max, then he'll be off. Hardly enough to build anything but in any case, Madrid seems to be a perfect fit for him. They've always done things this way.

i think the point people are making isnt that maureen is ****. for some reason people who love maureen seem to think those that dont think he is ****.

IF he is that special why didnt he win that one game. he didnt look special in that one game did he. he didnt look special when we knocked his teams out of the champions league on more than one occasion.

In reality his ability is no different now to what it was on sunday or last week etc etc. With his extreme arrogance he does set himself up when he falls. Whereas others who are very good dont seem to have to prove it to the media all the time

And this is exactly the silly point i'm disputing...

So his team lost a game.
So his teams have lost games/been knocked out of the CL before?

So the **** what? What manager doesnt lose? What teams never get knocked out?

This is the whole point - people are looking at monday night with a 'i told you so' kind of tone. I dont get it.

Losing a game doesnt make him 'not special' (stupid nickname anyway) but what are you trying to say exactly when people say "he wasnt so special on monday!!! Lolzzzz" etc?

So dismissing the stupid 'special' word, what does one spanking mean? Is he suddenly not a brilliant manager because he lost a game?

[Fredo]

I don't think he's genius at all. He has got an extremely charismatic personality, which does entice a lot of players. That's his strength. He's sound tactically, but he's been 'outwitted' time and again by more astute and tactically aware managers, for example Benitez (who's got under his skin). His achievements over a whole season can be explained by the talent and strength in depth of his teams but when you've got the financial backing, it's easier to get there. He's not stupid.

[CJ]

you cant dismiss the fact that he calls himself the special one from the argument

its the reason why we all love it when he loses.

its a bit like ignoring Roy when discussing how **** we are doing this year

Au contraire Marsh.......It seems to me nobody loves Mourinho but plenty respect what he has done and can see he is a quality quality manager.

Its the ridiculous way people jump down his throat at any sign of weakness he shows that makes me laugh as if it proves there point.

Nobody thinks he is superhuman, I think he is a quality quality manager who so far has guaranteed trophies wherever he has gone.

BUt does Fergie losing 4-0 against WHU make any difference to his standing in the game? of course not.
