Could Jose Mourinho be any less shameless than he is at the moment? Just how fucking desperate is he for this job?

“How many times have United broken records or beaten the odds?” questioned Mourinho. “Sir Alex Ferguson is an expert at it, and they have the quality to go and win anywhere in the world. Porto have got themselves in a fantastic position and they will be thinking they can get through to the semis. But Wayne Rooney is the boy Porto need to contain. He plays with no fear, and anybody who plays with no fear will never be concerned with how important the occasion is. Rooney is a big-game player. The crowd at Porto won’t make it easy for United, but the mentality of Rooney is to just play football and not be worried about anything else.”
