Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho is an enigmatic and extremely intelligent individual, a man who understands how to play with the media and with people’s minds. He is good and evil in equal measures – the master motivator and the master baiter.
Jose Mourinho has his faults – but just one glance at what he says to the press (see Jose Mourinho’s quotes) tells you that he is constantly pushing people around him and the rules in order to get what he wants. He is driven by a hunger to succeed that is seldom seen in even the best of people and it’s that winning habit that he manages to empower his players with.
Jose Mourinho – a man who wins titles, consistently. How many other managers can say that?
Mourinho trash-talks Manchester United for Chelsea’s benefit
At first impression it serves no purpose – if Mourinho was trying to put the Manchester United camp under pressure by claiming that Chelsea would be on top of the table pretty soon, he’d know from experience and common sense that Manchester United are hardly going to be bothered with such petty shots, especially if…
Tottenham vs Cheslea was always going to be about Keane and Lennon
I loved Mourinho’s post-match interview – he comes out, praises Tottenham (generously, I imagine), and plays the victim quite brilliantly by putting all the spotlight on the referee, whose decisions were, in Mourinho’s point of view, questionable. But the highlight of the match was the quality of football on display, and the genuine passion with…
Chelsea need to find balance
It is indicative of Chelsea’s ill reputation that Jose Mourinho’s just concerns about Petr Cech were scorned and his comments on Stephen Hunt criticised and vilified in the media.
The press ‘campaign’ against Frank Lampard
Chelsea fan Soupdragon takes particular offense at the vitriol thrown in Lampard’s direction by Chelsea-haters – who seem to be everywhere, especially in the media. Are you so desperately concerned about the economic affairs of other clubs that it reduces your enjoyment of “the beautiful game”? Do you condemn the ‘classless behaviour’ of certain teams…
Off The Record: Chelsea + Gallas = Arrogant, Immature and Ridiculous.
The biggest story involving Chelsea so far this month has been the Chelsea v Gallas battle (or rather, round 2 of the saga).
Gallas vs Chelsea Is All About Respect
The media is having a field day over Chelsea’s problems with Gallas. In some ways it’s a good thing that Mourinho and company are in US and not in England, otherwise the mess would have been much, much bigger. As it is, everyone is concentrating on the wrong issues:
Shevchenko signs for Chelsea, leaves AC Milan
And there you have it. We’ve been talking about it for two years. Mourinho wants Shevchenko, Mourinho wants Shevchenko. Well now the bloody bastard has got him. I don’t know if anyone has thought about it yet, but it says a helluva lot about the English Premier League that we’ve got two of the world’s…
Chelsea Transfer News
You have to hand it to Mourinho. The man comes out and neatly tells everyone who they are willing to sell and who they don’t want to sell. No fuss, no double-talk.
Mourinho is Manager of the Season
And even in his moment of glory he is complaining about being unloved…
Mourinho needs your love
Let me get this straight… You’ve got a manager who has won four league titles on the trot, has completely demolished the old guard of Manchester United and Arsenal, is the highest paid manager in the world of the most expensive squad in the world, and he’s not happy? That’s a perfectionist for you. In…
