Jose Mourinho, who once ripped Cristiano Ronaldo to shreds in the media when he was a young lad, insulting his supposed lower class background and poor education, has today jumped to his defence.
Now, as manager of Real Madrid, he has noticed what United fans witnessed for years, that Ronaldo gets kicked from pillar to post every game with little punishment imposed on the wrong do-ers.
“Cristiano is a player who does not have the culture of the swimming pool, he has no culture of simulation, he is a British-trained player, Ferguson trained,” said Mourinho. “In some cases, the simulators are given more protection, and those who are honest are often the losers. I’m not a hypocrite if I say that they hit Cristiano very hard, and that the yellow cards do not arrive or are slow in coming.”
His praise for the way Ferguson makes our players behave comes in direct contrast with the job he did whilst Chelsea manager.
After leaving the club in 2008, he acknowledge what a cheat Didier Drogba is.
“I am no longer Chelsea coach, and I do not have to defend them any more, but I think it is correct if I say Drogba is a diver.”
Man Utd News 24/7
Oh how life is funny, but mourhino is some character though, sounds to me like he’s trying to kiss ass maybe because he has his eyes set on a United job….
And according to Sneijner TNSSO is desperate for the Utd job
Drogba is a fucking diver! Wanker.
Ronnie did dive occasionally, none of us can deny that – but people only focused on those occasions, not the times when he used to power through defenders, despite being nailed really late at high speed only 2 mins earlier.
Ronnie – Legend! Drogba – Cock!
Hah! Love how he buried Drogba.
Ronaldo is 100% a diver. It’s a shame, i always want to enjoy watching his skill but the way he slows down the game and ruins it with diving frustrates me.
Drogba is 100% a diver and it’s funny how he thinks he can get away with it despite being a huge bloke.
Ok. . . . . . . . . . . . . bit of respect forming
Ha ha ha
This gets better
Maureen hotting up on the United interview process
“he is a British-trained player, Ferguson trained,” said Mourinho”
I’m telling you he is after the mother of all jobs
Wouldn’t it be fucking great – United have the biggest catch of them all – and he actually wanted to come : )
Finally someone wanting to come to Old Trafford than fucking over to the mob
It’s going to happen people – it will…
Ronaldo dives and Drogba dives. One time a diver, always a diver. That’s how it is.
The simple fact that Mourinho said he now didn’t need to defend his players and thereby saying Drogba is a diver, only proves my point, because he is doing the same thing for Ronaldo now although he knows he’s still diving.
So please stop pretending Drogba is any worse than Ronaldo.
Ronnie didn’t always dive, unlike Drogba. Drogba is bigger and stronger than most players out there, yet he’ll drop to the pitch like a little girl for the slightest tap and sometimes with no contact at all. Ronaldo did the occasional intentional dive. Most of the time though, people would get fed up with his showmanship and just hit him so he wouldn’t make them look stupid any more. Also, with the speed Ronaldo ran at it was easy for him to lose balance and fall after a challenge to his legs, but people seems to forget the times he was able to get through those challenges, keep his balance, and score amazing goals.
I think he dives more at Real though. Remember, defenders are rougher and tougher in England!
Maybe he will bring back Ronaldo and some other players like Ozil, Casillas to OT…but it will all be up to Fergie I suppose, if he is alive
Jamaican Mancunian: Agree. He is desperate to coach United. I hope he doesn’t even so much as come near United. He can go to citeh for all we care.
Get your tongue out of Fergie’s arse Mourinho and stop whoreing yourself for the United job. Fuck off you cunt.
looks like someone wants the gaffer’s job real bad..and I mean really bad..
He wants the united job, trying to kiss Fergie’s ass lol but fergie knows what mourinho is doing.You’re just a kid next to the master SAF Jose
Rumor has it that Drogba’s reaction after Evans’ karate kick is being tought at acting schools: How to leave your last breath. He is that good.
Lets just put it up to the vote
who’d take him as our next manager
take it that he is a great manager with a fantastic cv
but also he has a mental ego is a wanker and has alot a flaws as a manager aswell as the way he carries himself
who’d take him- say sir alex retires and he’s won the champions league with madrid
Drogba is hands down the biggest diver in the premiership.
Gerrard, that bugger also practises diving into the pool when he realises he is in the penalty box.
Ronaldo had the odd dive but often there occasions when there was a slight contact & due to his pace he would end up tumbling & the referee would miss it. At the recent world cup he got booked for his troubles in one match even though tv replays showed he had been fouled.
The worst was Michael Ball’s foul on Ronaldo, don’t believe he got away with that one where as Rio got 4 matches ban for a less flagrant foul!
Call Drogba a diver makes absolutely no sense because that same DIVER shows to be the hottest striker as we speak, he’s the (until he retires) king of england(go ask rooney). The two times African player of the year and the rest. Now speaking of maurinho issue, If i were in his shoes I would have just been as quiet as mancity’s mancini, think of how to break barca to win the spanish cup as he had (mistakenly)promised. I dont really see anything that grande maurinho has done to fully deserve the praises and props from (almost) everybody…He’s won 2times champions league while Ancelloti(the man for the job) has also won it twice and even won it as a player…All chelsea achieved under maurinho in about 3seasons were a 2times premier league titles,FA’s and Carling’s,took them to champions league semis, the true one came (ancelloti) just about the middle of the season and has already made a huge mark by taking chelsea to their first double title swoop and scoring 103 goals in a season which NO other club in england has gone close to, the closest was man u over the years with about 75goals..today a new season’s has come already with 3games played 14goals scored and none conceeded yet….Even though he had to send about five of maurinho’s flops away and signed just two players to replace them..the big boss Ancelloti has given chelsea both name and football tradition both junior and senior levels which THE GREAT ONE could’nt do even with the whole money here and there to spend..People today play chelsea with total fear, unlike the days of maurinho when people pray to meet chelsea and the one zero wins that atimes gets equalized at the last minutes after full 80 minutes of defending…those who have not should please watch today’s chelsea,listen to the players the likes of anelka and malouda who maurinho bought himself BUT failed to know how to utilize, chelsea now scores and wins when they want to…….the chant today in england is CHELSEAAA IS COMINGGGGG? RUN RUN RUN……word up.
You can hate but you cant break.
Maurihno….you’re NOT getting the United job….stop the ass kissing
@ghtt
I still have my doubts over mou taking over after SAF retires.. I mean there are so many questions..can he work under the glazers??can he work with a limited budget??can he bring in youth like the way SAF does??..as far as the youth thing is concerned..lets see how he develops the likes of ozil,canales,di maria,pedro,benzema..it will give us a good indication as to how he manages young players..
I think Ronaldo Dives! Love him to bits but any contact and he flops to the ground!
Granted some players who run at a very fast pace can lose balance quickly and can go down easy!
I think you would have to lie or be deluded to say that there is any players who hasnt dived to get a free kick or pen ever!
The problem is that some players do it week in week out! They need to be punished!
I think there should be a name and shame panel, Sham the buggers into stopping it!
@ghtt i dont want him near united.he is a psychopath and a nacisist.when he attacked ronaldos family he didnt give a shite, he can go to hell for all i care.you want a good manager go get moyes or mike phelan.
I like how everyone is saying they don’t want Mourinho to manage United, but have a single one of you offered an alternative? Who DO YOU want to manage United? Stop living in fantasy world thinking SAF is gonna be here forever. To be honest, yes, Mourinho is a cocky s.o.b, but his resume is very impressive, he WINS! Idk if he can work under the Glazers, a tight budget, or bring in the best young players, but I can’t think of another manager that is as successful as SAF and Mourinho and would want to manage United.
If you don’t like Mourinho, then who do you like?
@GHTT
There is no-one else I want more to take the United job than Jose Mourinho. He is good, very very good at what he does, not only that, he has class, and that is something which is priceless.
is he really trying to be part of man utd..??
if he wins the champions eague at some pont for madrid or even wins the league like him or not, and the way he carrys himself and as a rep i dont like him , but his cv is so good
@GHTT
If he does win the Ch.League with Real, he will be the first manager in history to win it with 3 different clubs. When it comes to his resume, I wouldn’t mind seeing him at United. But he could be a divisive choice.
Without a doubt the best candidate to take over from the godfather, don’t care what anyone else says.
@Sayyid
I think we all know that, I hope and pray he’s let no-where near our special club.
Kings – Spot on mate. How are you?
Did I read on here that Mourinho has class? Don’t make me laugh. Cunt.
Granted Ronaldo did dive in his early days at UNITED but sadly it later stayed as part of his reputation and therefore he got no protection whatsoever from refs when he was kicked off the park. Drogba on the other hand is built like a bull yet he falls down like a 2 year old girl…..
Oh for goodness sake grow up everyone. He doesnt have to protect Dragba because he is no longer his player – yet who’s player is Ronaldo. Quite – he is talking bollocks to protect him. Just like Fergie, nothing is said in isolation without a motive. Do you think he actually believes it? Everyone knows Ronaldo has been known to go down a bit sharpish. Mourhinio is not blind, he knows as well. He is saying to referees, “when my boy goes down blow the whistle because he is not a cheat” – no more no less.
So he’s a cunt, is that a good reason for him not being the next United manager.
I think, over the course of his career, Ronaldo was more sinned against than sinner. A lot of lesser players just couldn’t get the ball of him without fouling him, and so he got fouled a lot. He wasn’t, in my view, a dirty player but there was always a definite cunning to his game, he played the game on all levels, he’d get players booked, he’d get into their heads, he’d mess with people and it is part of what made him something of a villain and also what made him a great player.
As for Mourinho, I remain to be convinced. I can’t see him staying at a club, even United, for a really long haul. Equally I’m not convinced that he really is the best man for the job. Some of his teams I’ve seen have played the worst football I can imagine, relentlessly negative, dirty, crowding the ref, hoiking the ball long to the big man. Real route one stuff. He couldn’t buy the Champions League with Chelsea, in his last season there they were terrible, and he sired a generation of petulant douchebag players.
@GHTT
I would like to see Moyes at United he shares 3 golden attributes with SAF:
1- Being Scottish
2-Operating on a tight budget and still getting great results
3-Bringing up young talent e.g : Rooney, Rodwell,and even James Vaughan.
So basically Moyes fits the United way,
On the other hand Mourinho is the opposite of what a United manager should be :
1-Buying success and star players.
2-Never brought up a young talent, they always seem to flop under him e.g: Balotelli,Carlton Cole..
3-Publicly criticizing his players : again balotelli, drogba anelka…
4-Being a media whore,taking all the credit and acting like a wanker in front of reporters.
5-He is a wanker.
He’s a wanker and a cunt, great reasons. If Mourinho wants the United job, then he’ll have to adhere to Uniteds values, there’s no doubt about that. The bottom line is, whoever Sir Alex suggests to Gill and the gimps for our next boss, I’ll accept it, whoever it may be.
honestly, no one other than Mourinho can succeed SAF… hate him or love him, the well-bein of dis great club is all we unitedly want.. sorry to say Moyes cant do de job… hmmm.. cant see any other light at de end of de tunnel.. and most importantly, he is madly in love with United… i guess u all know wat men will do for love?.
@Lanaya
I must say I agree with you on Mourinho. The debate of whether he is the one to take over after the BOSS retires has always been an interesting one for me, the points you raise however are very valid….
cheers
There is one thing that Mourinho would bring with him if he were to come here and that is a fair share of “big” players. The thing is that many players from the continent doesn’t rate Fergie as much as they should. I don’t know if it is a cultural thing or what but players are somehow drawn towards Mourinho.
@willie
well said, I totally agree with that with out contradicting my previous post!
@tone diez
mate I never said he’s unsuccessful..but if he does replace SAF then he’s gotta work under those conditions..bringing in youth is a part of our culture and tradition and I honestly cant see him doing that..yes,he has won trophies but by spending a lot of money and getting established players..he won be able to do that if the glazers are still around when he replaces SAF..
as for no other option other than mou..I disagree..Ideally I would love it if Ole takes over once the gaffer calls it a day..if not..Moyes would be the next best option..but even he has drawbacks like no CL experience and he has not won any trophy..
Some of the older fans will remeber the problems we had in replacing SMB, i just want the best guy available lads. Yes, he is a dick, and he really annoys me, but we’re the best club in the world and we deserve the best manager in the world. After Sir Alex, that’s Mourinho.
To early for Ole, let him learn his trade first, before he steps up.
He is not a cunt. You say that because he is successful. If he wasn’t then you would be calling him a fool and laughing at him, just like the way we laugh at Rafa. But we’re not. Why? Because he can talk the talk (he SURE can do that) and he can walk the walk better than any manager apart from Sir Alex Ferguson. Sure he might have his faults and traits, as all managers do, but we have to remember this, the guy has proved to be the biggest challenger to Ferguson over the past 2 decades, emphatically taking 2 consecutive league titles, putting Fergie in the shade for that long, now that is one helluva an achievement, (I know we responded with so much more, but still…). He has done so through immense respect for Fergie, when he was manager of Chelsea or not, and while some of you can worship Fergie as being some kind of god, even he fails to live up to the ethical and sportsmanship values he usually promotes in the heat of competition and pressure. It is called being human, and the arrogance of Mourinho is his human way of reacting to the pressure and competition, albeit being quite retaliatory and provocative (but c’mon, take off your tinted glasses and suddenly there are countless times when SAF has been provocative as well).
He is a top draw manager, and I would like Manchester United to deliver winning football, in which case Mourinho wins hands down. A manager who also isn’t afraid of taking over the biggest club in the world, which Mourinho has no problem with, he thinks he is the best, and boy does he give a strong case on the pitch of the claim. His style of football is shaped by his resources and what kind of players he has, ie. he works with what he has. I do not GIVE A FUCK if we don’t play the tippy-tappy fairy football of Arsenal, I want a team capable of beating the likes of Barcelona, which he has done, and emphatically through stunning lightning counter-attacks (does that remind you of a team which specialises in that?) to thrash the Spanish, European and World Champions. I have huge admiration of the man, but he completely won me over when he showed his true quality and talent through preparing a team for the psychological warfare at the 90,000 cauldron at the Nou Camp. To have instilled the confidence and mental fortitude in a side who would face the best team in the world on their own patch with the belief of withstanding torturous waves of Barca attacks is simply stunning. Such was the iron grip of Mourinho’s influence that even being a man down, Inter re-grouped, rejuvenated and struck back with the best defensive display in history.
Need I say more, he is the perfect match for Old Trafford, and the only man that Ferguson has ever treated as his match. Anyway, it will ultimately be down to Ferguson, whatever his decision, I will fully respect and trust, but one thing is for sure, if Fergie calls on Mourinho, he will be in Manchester in a heartbeat. He is so obviously in love with United.
drogba hasn’t dived in at least 3 years…since mourinho left in fact. he should get credit for sorting himself out & doing something about the stuff people criticised him for. neither of those things is true of ronaldo…who is just as bad as he always was…
JM is just not United class.
I can’t see him wanting to stay at any club for a duration, He’d come to United and when we win a trophy he’ll be looking for some other job and being public about it.
He’s too unstable and look at the transfers he made at Inter. Moratti actually took away his ability to make transfers after signing the likes of Muntari. He had no hand in the Sneijdar deal.
The man did a fantastic job with Porto but since then he’s coasting on the quality of teams. Teams that he didn’t build. His transfer dealings have been rubbish.
I personally hope Darren Fergueson get’s a half decent premier club to manage so he can show if he can make a fist of it.Reason he’s already got the genes and is well aware of the United way.With a bit of luck he would’nt be a Nigel Clough and maybe can give us continuity once Popsi goes upstairs.hope springs eternal and would that be a sickener for the Abu’s.
Mourinho can fuck off, the next united manager should be David Moyes.
What an arse licker. Best manager after Fergie but I don’t want him at Utd. Yes he guarantees success.. but what else does he have to offer? I’d rather someone like Moyes who’s cut out from the same Utd cloth as the replacement, even if it means not winning anything for a few seasons, while the club gets used to life after Fergie and Moyes has time to pick up from where the master left off. What happend to our famous principles, our attacking flowing football, our faith in youth, our humilty and CLASS, are all of these worthless? They will be abandoned by Mr Jose if he comes to manage us. Fuck me, even Sir Bobby Charlton agrees with me. He won’t last more than 2 years, even if he won trophies in that period.
Finding a successor to SAF I fear is going to about as pointless as finding a successor to Keano/Giggsy/Scholes. ie they dont exist. This person would need to be manufactured in a lab somewhere by Dr. Brown to come in and carry the mantle. Its going to suck. Hard.
Willierednut @ 19:19: “So he’s a cunt, is that a good reason for him not being the next United manager.”
I completely agree – those who “hate” Jose now will change their tune when he ascends the throne.
Moscow @ 20:14 “He is a top draw manager, and I would like Manchester United to deliver winning football, in which case Mourinho wins hands down. A manager who also isn’t afraid of taking over the biggest club in the world, which Mourinho has no problem with, he thinks he is the best, and boy does he give a strong case on the pitch of the claim.”
I agree with the whole of your message but have highlighted this segment because you’ve hit the nail on the head – most managers would be afraid to succeed SAF since it would be like a dwarf trying on a giant’s jacket. Jose is many things but is not fearful and the very fact that he would be an interim, short-term manager would be another factor in his favour. The man who follows Mourinho would have a much easier time of it than the man who follows THE LEGEND.
Whoever follows Ferguson needs stones made of steel, to operate without fear, and I think that Mourinho is one of the few people who fit that bill
@Lanya Best post of the day mate and spot on with all but one of your points.
I took a pasting on here a while back when I said David Moyes for the next United manager. now its finnally arrived to be correct! odd eh.Its as clear as Night and Day he is the hot favourite.
No way Maureen.
The point I disagree with he is a wanker!
Wrong 99% MEN are Wankers sometimes in there lifes the other 1% just lie.
Ronaldo did dive alot while at United and that shit annoyed me because he was in very good positions and it was better f he just stayed on his feet and smash the ball home.
I don’t buy the argument he’d be only here for 2 years, nobody can know that, not unless you’re fucking clairvoyant. Moyes is a very good manager, not disputing that, but is he a big enough character to take over from SAF? I have my doubts.
I have Crystal balls beat that!
MysticScot lol.
I have no doubt whatsoever that if we had Mourinho as our manager we would win the lot.
I have major doubts about the style of football we would play in winning it though.
Lets face it folks, when SAF calls it a day we are in the mire as i really can’t think of another manager that can deliver trophy winning football in the entertaining way that we have witnessed during his tenure.
Mourinho’s team play trophy winning football, but its negative 1-0 trophy winning football.
hahah.. love him or hate him! Pure black or white towards him!!
I used to hate him a lot .. not any more.. get in .. Jose’
Read a recent Mourinho interview (link below). Gets interesting when he mentions that “one of the best clubs in the world” is waiting for him.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/feedarticle/9245371
Regarding his teams playing negative football, I dare say that the Inter vs Barca game last season was a good example to suggest the contrary. He has also come out and said that he has to play an attacking system at Real.
Regarding buying success, did he spend big at Porto and wasn’t he responsible for the Sneijder and the Eto/Ibra deals, two of the best deals of the recent past?
His style of management may be controversial at times, but I’ve yet to read an interview in which he has been criticized by any of his former players. Different coaches use different ways to motivate or bring out the best in their players or teams.
i am feeling proud here.
because while it seems like all the players’ dream are “real madrid”, a manager’s dream is Manchester United.
And i feel good too, because if i am a Real fan, i should be angry. It’s clear that Mourinho is using Real just as a stepping stone to come here. Before this, the job seems to be going to one of our ex-players, but with going to Real and publicly admitting it from there about coming here, Mourinho has catapulted himself as the favourite. Mourinho sure is a very objective manager.
but i still dont like to have him here. While he is a good manager, he is too objective. Fergie has never done anything like this – talk bad about the opponents’ player just for the sake of bringing him down a bit.
Yeah, SAF has never picked on opposing players, just the managers lol. The excuses are getting thin, like Kate Moss.
@willierednut, the longest he has stayed at a club (Chelsea) is 3 years. At the other clubs he spent 2 years or less despite being successful, see Porto and Inter. He loves challenges, if he won the treble with us in his first season I’d assume he would be satisfied and would then want to seek his next challenge, perhaps aim to end City’s 34 trophyless years and with their millions he would be attracted. I don’t have a crystal ball, nor do I imply that this will certainly happen, but it’s extremely likely. Don’t want us to be looking for a new manager every odd season like fucking Chelsea and Shitty, someone like Moyes, who if does become a success story here, is bound to be loyal and could well stick around for a good 10 years if not more.
Fze123 – I’m not buying that argument mate. Moyes could be here for 10 years? Or maybe he gets sacked, because he’s not up to it, if it’s choice between Moyes and Mourinho, then that’s a no brainer imo, it’s mourinho all day long. We’ll just have to agree to disagree on this, but it’s imperative, i’m sure you’ll agree, that we don’t mess it up.
I am aware that he may get sacked, hence why I said IF he becomes a success story here, he’s more likely to remain at the club and bring more glory than Mourinho would. We’ll leave it at that, obviously we both want to see the right man brought in to fill the void. If only Fergie would not retire until his death, we wouldn’t be talking about his replacement just yet.
Guys talk less and say more SAF have had a success career at old T. He can as well try other clubs, i think that will tell more,if he is a successfull manager like jose
“I’m not a hypocrite if I say that they hit…”
He IS a hypocrite
He is the best man to take the club forward. Its a win/win situation for me if he comes :
). we win a loooooot of trophies.
1. he stays for 3 seasons and wins a truck load of trophies and then leaves. we get the trophies and his replacement wouldn’t have the tag of replacing the best manager in the history of the game.
2. he stays with us for a long period of time (which i personally feel is likely because looking at his history he has never once publicly hinted towards another job … well at least not before he has even started his current job
i feel his signings will reflect whether he plans to stay for a long period of time or just try and win as much as possible in as little time as possible i.e. signing stars and not giving youth a chance. it makes no sense (from his point of view) to try and bring youth through a team if he only plans on staying for 2-3 seasons !!
much love.
Guys, what’s with the love for Moyes ? That guy has won nothing ! Redknapp, as much as I think of him, as a fool has done better than the Moyesiah. Just coz a manager is scottish, doesn’t meant he’ll be like SAF.
We need a manager who will not be intimidated by the job and has enough patience to learn things the United way.
Personally, I think Mourinho has proven himself better than SAF. He has equalled his achievements in lesser time. If he is successful at Madrid, he will be the worlds most successful football manager !
Laurent Blanc as the next Man Utd manager..
When the Gaffer finally retires in 10yrs time…and if Mourinho is still in Football we may shortlist him for the Job..!!
On a serious note…Yu cannot underestimate what the guy has achieved. More so..wat he has done with Porto and Inter !! Not great teams..but he won trophies none the less.
There is no one better than Mourinho to replace the Gaffer as of now..but yu dont know wat happens in football in few yrs !! It may all change..Look wat happened to Sparky, Keano.. etc.
Wud I want Mourinho at Old Trafford? No..Cos I want to make watching United get me off my seat..attacking footy..you score 3; we score 4 !!and I dont woant a journey man!!
But from a monetary point..Mourinho will bring us sustained success on the pitch which we badly need as our debts wont let us have 2 bad seasons!!
Ah Classic…. When the idle boys are already playing catchup…. what have they got to do but attack our players. The point of this article i ask you? Aside from having a go at Chelsea’s Finest……
@ Wazza totally agree, wouldn’t want him to come near to United, rate him as a good tactical coach, but he lacks a lot of managerial attributes IMO. Well sir Bobby did say he’s not the type of coach United will be looking at once SAF make the position vacant….
Ronniie did dive sometimes don’t they all but he was a great player for us and perhaps one day he’ll come back let’s hope so and as for the special one omg how much does he want fergies job , well when sir Alex does retire there’s only one man I think is cabable for the job and that’s the special one as long as he stays at the club for more than 3 mins
The double this year
however much i used to hate jose at chelsea i’ve gotta say i like the guy alot now. Whats so good about him is hes not afraid to piss people off and hes quick to defend english football from snobbery and the anglophobia of people on the continent,
I reckon we should wait & see what brand of football Real Madrid play under Mourinho & also how he brings on a player like Canales before we can state emphatically that he isn’t right for United.
He may be a bit mouthy, but it’s not like Fergie isn’t averse to stirring the pot. Okay he is more mouthy than Fergie, but he is a very young, very successful manager, and maybe been successful & young has got to his head a bit. Age & maturity should take care of that.
Gotta say sometimes last season Inter played some good football, they sure as hell suprised Chelsea.
Mourinho has proved that he is a winner time & time again. If he can convince that he is willing to hang around for a long haul then we would be crazy not to give him a chance. I wouldn’t like him to come back to the premiership just to coach one of our main rivals. That would be ghastly to contemplate.
@GHTT
You’ve got far too much time on your hands….
Staggered that alot on here have the attitude of “oh let him come, win loads of TROPHIES then leave”. No fucking thanks.
Was watching the Newcastle hammering from 07/08 last night. Anyone remember that frankly embarrasing dive from Ronnie on the edge of the box, holding his ankle after been fouled by Smith only to find he was 3 feet away. I loved Ronnie but I do not miss those antics and that ridiculous face he used to pull when things weren’t going his way. Like he was gonna burst into tears.
LARRY WHITE for president. He’ll come back to OT after Euro2012
Who would want Mourinho as next united manager????
King Eric – It’s my opinion mate, and a lot of other peoples opinion that Mourinhos the best man for the job. I’m surprised that you wouldn’t want the best guy for next United manager, and imo, that’s not Moyes, but if he gets it, I’ll support him 100%, will the anti Mourinho brigade do the same, if Mourinho gets it?
I do agree with you about Ronaldo King Eric, i don’t miss the histrionics one little bit. ps Great player though
willierednut – Oh absolutely mate. A joy to watch.
Willierednut – Sorry didn’t read the Mourinho bit mate. Oh don’t get me wrong of course I would support him. I think it is impossible to say who may get the job. 18 months ago it was O’Neill. Look how thats turned out. It all depends when the great man calls it a day.
Anyone see Paddy interview Scholes and Giggs last night? Quality.
hahahahaha! this is hilarious! TNSSO is one of the most quotable people in footy, after King Eric and Fergie of course
oh and by King Eric, i meant Cantona, although you’re pretty quotable too King Eric
Thanks Jellybean, just not as quotable as the real King!!
Seems odd that Mourinho just tried to sign Drogba on Tuesday…
as a chelsea fan let’s talk about Jose and what he did!
He got the team winning
He always took the heat away from his players when he needed to
plus
All his players seem to love him
not a great fan of his style of play but winning is more important that style in the first instance. it breeds a certain mentality throughout the club. This is something all man u fans are aware of!
We all hate divers at other clubs more than we hate divers at our own club: end!
What miserable piece of work Morinho is, maybe a great coach, bit scrapes the barrel of tar for the depth of his character. He should shut his mouth and let the players get on with it.
In fact he is a very poor quality wanker and should stick to the hot bloods and loonies of Real.
Tired of reading his crap, day after day, sad state of affairs that the media has to print his boloney
Waiting on Benitez comment on Stevie Gerrard……..LOL
I think his comments are pure Jose. The most disingenuous hypocrite in football. We had him for 3 years and you may get him one day.
He is of course a football slut. Everyone any good will have him at least once. He’s well worth the money though.
