You seem to know a lot about this, Nigel.

Where exactly were you at the time?

[Fredo]

Thanks, my only reply so far.

I was in Twitterland, isn't that obvious?

Any news of Mourihno?

[Neil Young]

Hmm, suspiciously quick with an uncheckable alibi.

You and Arn are in it together.

Well, you're a bit unfair. I did check where the reports originated from before posting it in here, but I didn't have time to do a more thorough investigation, that's why I just posted the Tweets, hoping that people would add to the thread.

That's what I just found. From here.

Real Madrid have increased security measures around José Mourinho after a member of the coach's security team was stabbed with an unidentified weapon. The incident occurred as the Real team were travelling to La Coruña to face Deportivo last weekend, it emerged on Friday.

Mourinho was making his way through Alvedro airport when the incident happened but he was only informed of events on Friday The injury to the security guard does not appear to have been serious. It is unclear whether Mourinho was the intended target. Real Madrid are awaiting the results of police investigation and CCTV footage is being studied.

In the meantime Real, who will travel to Santander on Sunday, have decided to review the security arrangements around their often controversial coach in a climate of growing tension and hostility towards him. It has not been confirmed whether they will overturn the decision – taken by the club president, Florentino Pérez – that playing staff should make their own way through terminals rather than being collected on the runway. Pérez wants to foster a sense of closeness between the club and its fans. Two players are always chosen to sign autographs at the team's hotel.

According to reports on the Spanish radio station Cadena SER, Mourinho was making his way through a crowd of supporters who had gathered to welcome the team to La Coruña. He may have stopped to sign autographs. He was flanked by security staff, one of whom noticed a slight pain in his side. When he arrived at the coach, the security guard noticed that he had sustained a small cut of around four centimetres, believed to have been caused by a sharp object but not a knife.

Real Madrid have not commented officially and have sought to downplay the incident.

I'm not sure you've understood what Neil was implying there

[Fredo]

I didn't get it, still don't.

[Reece]

Probably best you ban him for that Neil.

[Neil Young]

Thanks for the suggestion, fellow-mod, but I have a better solution.

This is obviously where Craig has got to, he used the days of free time he had due to the fact he was serving another Est Ban to go in search of his hero, then, after following/stalking his prey, and managing finally to get close enough to his idol Jose, he probably attempted to talk football....only to see Jose laugh in his face, and put him down with a biting football quip for suggesting such nonsensical ideas on the game, and worse! for quoting stats from Football Manager 1, 2, 3 and 4! in a vein attempt at face saving once he realised Jose was having none of it!

Probably enough to make Craig do what he probably maybe did.

Perhaps if Mourhino toned down his controversy on the touchline he wouldnt be as hated! He will no dount use this as an excuse to leave real when things dont go his way!
