CL Last 16
First topic message reminder :
Part Moyes, part the squad SAF left him. Naive in the extreme to think yesterday would've ended up any different with SAF at the helm

Then again, I can't imagine the likes of John Terry believing it either.compelling and rich wrote:GSC wrote:That's just Joses mind games trying to take pressure off. Nobody believed it
perhaps the players did, cant imagine the fragile egotistical premiership players of today liked hearing constantly that they weren't good enough
cant see it myself, but it's nice thinking all mourinhos BS come back to hit him in the face

I always said his team wasn't ready to win the league, there a bit like Liverpool a work in progress, but i think City have failed some what this season and it's given both a chance to win league. Still think it's citehs to lose though and with the money and squad they have they should be walking the league.
Think Jose went a bit far and with his track record it was easy to say it was mind games.

I would rather have lukaku than the players he has, and I think the loan was a bad idea. An uncharacteristic mistake by Jose that could cost him big trophies this season. Although he made up for it by selling Mata for a huge sum that he will probably use to get Diego Costa or someone of that ilk next season.

That was the whole point of his silly lowering expectations game. If Chelsea do win major honors Jose is a genius for having taken an inferior or unready side to the title. If they lose out then Jose is a genius for telling us all along. I think it is less about his players and more about his ego. The fact is that they have a lot of quality all over the pitch that is why everyone and their mother was picking them to win league this year at the start of the season. They were easily 1st or 2nd favorite.

Re: CL Last 16
He isn't a genius because no one buys his bollox........
He's not as clever as he thinks he is because the British press play him like a fool..
All these childish pops at Pellegrino and Wenger made him look stupid and he only made them because he had an.. "Appreciative".. audience stringing him a long to be controversial while pretending to laugh at everything he say's...
Top Manager yes............But no class..

Tbf when he said Wenger has been a specialist failure since 2005, it's hard to disagree with him.

Mourinho isn't afraid of stepping on other people's toes. In his defence, though, his head is so big, he probably doesn't even notice that he is stepping on their toes.

No one marking the lad though, PSG copying Chelsea's defending last week in France.

Watched the first half at work staying late in the office with another Chelsea fan who sneakily bought his TV in. I'd like to see a replay of us when Schurrle scored.

Aside from failing to book players for diving, this referee's been quite good tonight.

Or the post. Off-target is off-target in my book. I do like the noise it makes though.

I couldn't less if it's a hundred times, it's still a shot off target.

BUT, very close and still considered unlucky by most, especially if it happens several times in a game.
Would most not agree?
