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?
Can Atletico End Real Madrid’s Undefeated Start?
As derbies go, it’s one of the most passionate and dramatic in Europe, however, in recent years, it has also been one of the most one-sided. Despite going close on a number of occasions, Atletico Madrid have not beaten their arch-rivals Real Madrid for over a decade – back in the days when Jimmy Flloyd…
Who do Chelsea really owe their current success to?
“Scolari reckons that Chelsea’s success is all down to him”, “Scolari insists that Chelsea’s current domination of England is thanks to him” and “I made Chelsea Great!” are ludicrous statements from a number of newspapers this morning. However unfounded the headlines from various newspapers were this morning; they do raise an interesting question. How much, or little, have Chelsea’s previous 6 managers, in the last 7 years, contributed to the current success of the club?
AC Milan 2 – 2 Real Madrid – Pedro Leon’s last gasp equaliser clinches qualification for Madrid
Following Real Madrid’s coasting over Milan two weeks prior, the Rossoneri were looking to assert themselves in tonight’s return tie – especially after the weekend defeat to Juventus in Serie A.

Chelsea’s Greatest Signings under Roman Abramovich
Chelsea have made approximately 50 signings since the take-over of Roman Abramovich. About £470 million (and William Gallas) has been spent on these players – that averages out at just over £9 million (and one of Gallas’ hands) per player.

Jose Mourinho: Only someone special can succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at United
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho insists that only a “special manager” can be the next Manchester United boss, succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson, when the Scot finally ends his managerial career. The Red Devil’s current boss will turn 69 in December, and speculation, as always, is roaming all around Old Trafford concerning who would be the man…
Bastian Schweinsteiger: Manchester United or Real Madrid?
At the youthful age of 26, Bastian Schweinsteiger has already a rather successful career. His current haul of five Bundesliga titles, five German Cups, two League Cups and a Champions League runners up medal is enough to make any retired player jealous, let alone one of a similar age. His achievements are even more remarkable…

Jose Mourinho Will Punish Cup Defeat With ‘Death’
There are many things that you could accuse Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho of being, and ‘inconspicuously subtle’ is definitely not one of them. With tonight’s Copa Del Rey tie with lowly Real Murcia looming, many-a-Madrid supporters’ memory is instantly transported back to this time last season when Manuel Pellegrini‘s ailing charges slumped to a…
England Wallow As Spain Dominate Ballon d’Or Shortlist
With their individual World Cup exploits taken into account, it should come as little surprise that England as a nation have absolutely no representation on this year’s Ballon d’Or shortlist, failing to provide a single player for inclusion on the 23-man list of nominees. A negligible amount of tenuous pride can be taken from the…
How Do Man Utd Plan To Show Their ‘Ambition’ To Wayne Rooney?
Given their escalating debts and presumably dwindling coffers, the perceived wisdom seems to be that Manchester United may eventually be found guilty of writing cheques that their collective posteriors can’t really afford to cash when it came to promising the world to Wayne Rooney in exchange for the next five years of his footballing career….
