Mourinho's sense of fair play.

[andrew neave]

Have you noticed that when Mourinho's team wins he is all about pattting peoples back and shaking hands and "there a good team and played well " but when they draw, he starts saying the opposition are cheats.
What is up with these managers in London there desperate, I suppose he didnt see the penalty that Chelsea got on Saturday, it was no penalty for shure, he dived, Saha was clobbered harder than this playing against Chelsea, and he has the gall to accuse ManUtd players once again as "cheats ".
As if none of his players never deliberatly foul players heading for there box, let alone dive in the penalty area. If anybody should be up in front of the FA it should be Mourinho his comments ( I saw on Sky news )in a press conference were outragoeous for a Premier manager. If you ask me he is almost going the same way as Keegan you know " I will love it and all that " I hope Fergie says the same thing he said then " If you ask me Mourniho should shut his mouth"!!!!!!!

For a MANU fan, you are being a little hyppocritical. I don't think any manger whines and complains if his team doesn't win as SAF. on the issue of a penalty to Smertin, there was contact, thus a penalty is given. It was a small contact, nevertheless, it WAS a contact. I know penalties are not given for bigger falls, but thart's part of the game. Saha could have gone either way, depending on how the ref saw it. I hate 2 bring up your game against Spurs, but if the ref doesn't see it, tough.
You should know is that JM is no rookie when it comes to mental games, so whatever he says, there is a reason for it. I don't think an argument against the whining of a Chelsea coach is going to go anywhere from a MANU or an Arsenal fan.

Because Rooney's against Arsenal was legit too huh?

If you think Mourinho is on a par with Keegan, I think you are seriously underestimating his guile. The former is clearly no slouch when it comes to mind games, whereas Keegan was (is) a complete muppet in this regard.

[nicephoras]

Mourinho has already gone toe to toe with SAF in mind games, and Porto went on in the CL, so I think I'll trust Mourinho, if you don't mind.
Comparing Mourinho to Keegan is ludicrous. I suppose you'd have a point if we collapse a la Keegan's Newcastle side. Would you like to make a wager on that?

[Acronym]

Porto dived and got some lucky ass decision to get to the final, that was Manutd's cup - robbed. Mourinho is funny to the media atm. Like I said though he hasnt been found out yet. When that comes we'll see how he handles it.

I might add though that I think the bloke is a breath of fresh air.

Mourinho? He's young and naive. He will learn the ways of the mind-games young padawan!

Hey i fully accept that Fergie opens his mouth and ManUtd players dive and commit yellow card offences, all part of football in my opinion and always has been. All professional managers accept this, but to call players cheats on TV is beyond the pale, when your own players do the exact same thing professionally that is. I mean if you think that its Mourniho's way of getting back at Fergie, presumably you would think its ok for fergie to reply in kind and so it will go on and on. For your information Mourinho is under FA investigation just as Wenger was and he was fined, score maybe 2 to Fergie.. Officially that is.

You can have the FA investigation score...just remember SAF has NEVER beaten a JM team. I'll take that score.

I was at the match and I didn't think the Smertin fall was a pen, nor when I saw it later on TV, but Robben was flattened in the 2nd half and that was a definite pen, so things evened themselves up!

One thing's for sure - despite what Mourinho, Sir Syrup or Arse say - it's all over now, no-one will catch Chelsea :)

[sinner78]

Look at this joker crying about ref decisions .Nobody gets more from refs than manyoo .They've got their mate mike riley to help them out in the big games.Or even mike rileys relative who was the linesman in the tottenham game.

[Eddie26]

Chelsea deserved at least 2-3 pens in the game. Both on Robben. Pamarot was totally outclassed. On the first one, Robben got in front of him while Pamarot had his jersey, got a play on the ball, caught Pamarot out of position and Pamarot hauled him down...and it was no call. Please. For some reason reps in the EPL tend to think that Arjen Robben is a diver and he's really not. I'm not some blind fan just defending a Chelsea player because I do think that Smertin exaggerated the fall and that it shouldn't have been a pen BUT Robben very rarely gets a break in this league. He doesn't go down easily but I don't think he's very big and when guys as large as Pamarot pull on him and climbs his back, he's going to go down. Though I do get enjoyment out of seeing a Man U fan crying about refs.

I would not say 2-3 pens but the foul on Robben seemed to be a penalty rather than the one on Smertin. I don't think Robben is a diver either.
I still don't like Graham Poll though. He thinks he is bigger than the game.
He always seems to want to get involved in making news.
Now the FA has selected him as the ref for Arsenal vs United on 1 Feb.
He will take center stage in that one for sure.

I think everyone will agree that Poll is an ASS.

Know who I like, I can't remember his name, but he's a young guy, kind of pudgy. Looks like the guy from Trigger Happy TV. He controls a game, will talk and listen to players and I really think they respect him. He's really new. It's his first or second year and I think he is already probably one of the top 3 refs in the EPL already.

I am not fomiliar with Trigger Happy TV.
Are you talking about the ref in LFC's FA Cup game today?
He is a 1st year ref and he was pretty good today.

I didn't watch the game so I don't know who did the game. I think the guy I am thinking of is named Mark??

I do know this:

And it's soo-per Burnley (clap clap clap clap)
Soo-per Burnley FC
They're by FAR the greatest team
The world has ever seen

[Eddie26]

OK, soccernet says M Clattenburg did the game. I think that might be the same guy since I thought his name was Mark.

Then I found this on a site. Not sure if it's him.

http://www.ratetheref.co.uk/ref/pics/mark_clattenberg.jpg

I know the ref I am talking about did the Man U - Spurs game with the phantom goal that didn't happen.
