Zlatan is a c**t. Mourinho would never have approached Mings if it were one one one away from the cameras and protection. Mings should have head butted him.

Mourinho on Chelsea:

 

"They have time for all of these things, so they are in a position of privilege - the same privilege that Liverpool had a couple of years ago and they almost won the Premier League - but I don't want to say that they don't deserve credit for it."

I understand his point but I don't get why he has to go out there saying these things. Mind games, maybe?

People should ask why ManU are not in top when they just bought the most expensive player in the world. Too many excuses.

It's his fault we have these "privileges" 

I wish a journalist would bring up the fact Rafa (who is an inferior manager to Jose) managed to get 3rd, Europa and an FA Cup semi with an even more hectic schedule (including battering United at Old Trafford 3 days after a trip to Romania) and weaker squad every time he uses that as an excuse for being 6th and losing tonight if he does.

I wish people would stop using the "R" word when talking about the darkest days in the history of Chelsea Football Club.  At best you can say Fat Spanish Waiter.  To be decent, you can say "Disrespectful self-serving scouse addict with little ability and even less honour. FACHT"  And that's without invoking the asterisk censor in anyway

 

And I also wish people would stop referring to those dark days as some sort of triumph.  We won some thing and got to a semi final despite the bloated twat, not because of him.  All the tactical intelligence of a large dish of paella, without any of its redeeming factors.

I feel like going back through every 162 pages of this thread and editing out all the genuinely disrespectful remarks thrown at Jose.

Who would have thought that so many of the fans that adored him, the way he got results, the way he bullied his opponents off the pitch, the way he could command the attention of an important game,....those same fans can now be offended by what he says in any shape or form really puzzles me. 

But this is a forum that allows free speech within the guidelines, and we will adhere to those, but we will not accept any more venomous posts, keep the language clean and try and show a bit of class.

Probably, just saying Chelsea don't have a fixture congestion. Chelsea can work on this game for over a week now where as Utd have to play every 3 days. Liverpool did benefit from it a couple of years back. Even no League Cup football helps out.

I don't like him anymore than the next Chelsea fan but anyone who thinks he didn't do a decent job under the circumstances are blinkered by hate. There's one import from Scouseland who actually did hold us back mind and he got his name chanted everytime he slipqed over and miscontrolled the ball.

Theres also Liverpool under Kenny and United under LVG.

Its an advantage if you make it one, infact you could argue for the first couple of months its a disadvantage as more games help teams play there way out of any rustyness.

Well said. Grant was manager of a team that got to a champions league and league cup final. Dont make Grant a good manager. That team had enough leaders to manager itself and Grant was just Romans man.

A good team helps but it is a big advantage and no injuries. No need to get all defensive.

Saying it's a disadvantage is brilliant haha.

Not blinkered by hate, revelling in it.  I despise the man and everything about him.  He didn't do anything like a decent job, he was a tactical f**kwit who's only positive move ever seemed to be to swap a left back.  I was at both Swansea games and every one in the crowd knew more than the fat f**k about how to win those matches.  We were better placed in teh league when he took over than at the end of the season and thw whole second half of the season was a nightmare.  Like I said, the darkest days in the history of the club, and that includes relegation AND losing to f**king the Spuds

The 07 /08 team did, the 12 /13 team most certainly didn't.

Pep use to say at Barca he preffered playing in midweek because the team would stay more focused and in the zone compared to when they had a week off.

They probably didn't adore him from the start and have been waiting for this oppurtunity like a hawk. They moan about how Mourinho behaves then look at this thread. Me included it's an embarressent. Bet they was celebrating and bragging about the trophies but of course it's because it's all about the club.

How can the greatest manager in the clubs history have fans arguing like we had to put up with Wenger for 10 years. It's a joke.

No we weren't, we were 3rd, we finished 3rd.

Completely different league.

Exactly.

The Europa league is probably the worst comp to be in if you want to win the league in England.  The Champions league isn't great because the fa don't help English clubs. You can play Wednesday then Sat morning, that's a nightmare. In Spain,  Germany and France they get the pick of the best fixtures. Friday the week before they play and extended breaks after. 

I think its perfectly aceeptable to mention the irony of him moaning about us not having European football when its his fault, is it not?

When he leaves United in 2018 or 19 he will be solely be remembered by most as our greatest manager (well with any luck 2nd greatest by then), just like Lamps at City and Joe Cole at Liverpool is now by in large forgotten (there was a lot of hurt by the actions of both at the time) Jose will be remembered for the trophys and fantastic times as opposed to last seasons all time collapse and his stint at United but while last season is still raw (the ghost of it isn't laid to rest till we kick a ball in the CL again) and he's at our rivals there will be a bit of tension, its normal.

6 points behind when he took over, 14 points behind at the end.  That's a regression to me.

United dropped a mere 7 points between when he took over and getting crowned champions, that squad weren't capable of such consistency without European football let alone with, Jose the following year with extra reinforcements said on numerous occasions we weren't ready for a title win, so if we weren't ready under Jose a year later we certainly weren't that year.

I don't like Rafa as ive already stated and believe me if there was even a hint he was in the running for the full time gig i would have been side by side alongside you at the protest, but i think he did well juggling a record breaking run of games, when two managers vastly superior to him (Jose and Poch ) openly admit to finding it difficult then it puts it in perspective.

 

Bit disappointed mourinho got a lot of stick tonight. I said a few weeks ago I can see the relationship souring with him managing a direct rival. 

Some of the comments he has made since taking over at United haven't helped, but singing f**k off mourinho is a bit out of order imo. 

Hopefully he sees it's just banter in the heat of big game, but it's still a shame nontheless.
