Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread Kenyon's rant last week about G14, people trying to keep them down, etc. and all that.... clearly they are whinging. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,27-1707410,00.html
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread comme on! clearly he is heartbroken or he wouldnt have made such a CHILDISH statement.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread They are whingeing, I don't dispute that. But they aren't exactly alone, basically every manger in the league is a whinger. I'm not a fan of Chelsea or the way they do business, but some of the bitterness towards them strikes me as depressing, and it is simply self-perpetuating.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread But whereas most managers whinge about their chairmen/lack of money/refs, they tend not to make slightly personal attacks on players. Wenger didn't have a go at Baptista for example. Mourinho can't understand that Gerrard's loyalty to his club and home city outweighs whatever Kenyon and Mourinho offered. And in the case of Kenyon, most teams chief execs etc. don't tend to say anything at all...
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread But most teams Managers and Chief execs have some class....
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread Sure, Chelski is presently at the big kid's table, but they're just renting a seat.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread That's because Mourinho doesn't have a chairman to whinge about, has plenty of money and we are in preseason. The simple fact is that the media generates news if there isn't any, and this is clearly a piece of cute journalism combined with Mourinho's willingness to talk on any subject. The fact that he is right appears to be immaterial.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread It's bad form. Can't you see that? If you can, then you understand why we are discussing it. If you can't, then why are you here?
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread He isn't necessarily right until 10 years from now....Chavscum have won 1 EPL title and a Carling Cup.... There's no guaranty that they will ever win anything again.... Jose makes himself look like an ass here because his ego won't let him understand that Gerrard doesn't want to play for him......So he mouths off when he should just say nothing......
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread We're discussing it because I think that so many United fans have become myopic (and that goes for the Arse, and Spurs fans when they came in for Arnesen). People are becoming obsessed with Chelsea. Every outburst is anticipated with baited breath, and then rubbished in all quarters. It's becoming sad, and Mourinho enjoys winding United up. United are just proving Kenyon right when he said that your reactions were “born out of hypocrisy and fundamentally out of insecurity.”
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread Then he should shut the f*** up Whether or not Chelsea will win more than Liverpool in the next 10 years is not worth debating, but no-one has any idea whether Gerrard will regret it or not including Mourinho. Does Shearer regret not going to Manu ? maybe, maybe not, but no-one knows for sure, and that's an extreme example of losing out on medals for loyalty to a club...
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread What you call winding up I call Mourinho acting like some petulant little child just spouting out a bunch of sh!t and saying "look at me, give me attention"
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread I don't like Liverpool, but Stevie will not be sorry he didn't come because he is smart and does not want to ruin his career sitting on the bench half the time. He's always been a Scouser, and maybe he has a little more heart and balls than all the other fools at the Mafia and decided not to go in it for the money. Hell, [sarcasm] I'm sure Gary Neville could leave us and make more money at the Mafia but he too is willing to be a man and stay with the club he loves [/sarcasm] [sorta]. In the end, Mourice is a good manager but is one sorry SOB and need to shut the **** up and sit down. The EPL is for playing football not running a circus and thinking you own the place.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread But the point isn't whether he's right or wrong, it's just that decent managers/chief execs don't voice their thoughts like that. Dein may think that Gill is a complete knob, or that Kenyon was a twat when he was at Manu, but I can't remember him coming out and saying it.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread Since when are the reactions of the posters on this board representative of the reactions of Fergie et al at United? We are getting wound up but we have no reason to believe that Jose's words have any effect on the team. I think some antagonists on this board are confused.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread 1.HE'S A FOOTBALL MANAGER. People ask him questions and want his views. At least Mourinho gives a straight answer unlike Arsene "I didn't see it" Wenger. 2. These are Mourinho's words "It will be a loss for him, for his career. He can say 'I was European champion at Liverpool' and that is correct," Mourinho told The Times. "But I can say to him in the next 10 years we will compare trophies at Chelsea and Liverpool. And he'll lose." Where does it say that Gerrard will regret it, or that he made a mistake? That is the interpretation put on by others. All that Mourinho said is that Gerrard's career will suffer, and that chelsea will win more trophies. Does anyone seriously believe that to be untrue?
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread You keep missing the point...... This statement can't be true until 10 years from now so Jose should just shut up until then..... He can't say they will win more until/if it happens.....
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread So far in head-to-head competition, counting meaningfull trophies, Stevie G. and Jose are tied with one apiece, with Stevie G. getting the arguably bigger prize. I'm not ready to concede a decade of dominance to Chelsea. What exactly has Benitez done to make anyone think that his influence is less than Jose's?
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread Oh, I see. We just sit around waiting to go hysterical about anything that comes out of that twots mouth, eh? Cause we're jealous, etc.? Maybe that's how other clubs might feel, but not this one. Chelski's biggest problem is that they'll never have what we've got - History, Respect, and Class. Hell, they're still chasing at least 20 clubs in England who've achieved more than them....
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread It is his opinion clearly. What I'm saying obviously is that I agree with it. Do you believe Liverpool will win more trophies than Chelsea in the next 10 years?
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread They did in the previous 10 years and the 10 years before that and the 10 years before that.... So if I'm to go by history my answer would be yes.....
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread My concern is that United win more than both of them, combined.
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread No, Jose has won, 2 Portuguese League titles 1 Portuguese Cup 1 UEFA Cup 1 Champions League 1 Carling Cup 1 Premership title Gerrard has won 1 Carling Cup 1 FA Cup 1 UEFA Cup 1 Champions Leage
Re: Jose "Former European Champion" Mourinho's own United thread The man has his own thread on your board, with 145 posts on it. He says a thing and it is reported by you lot. That is a clue as to his significance here.
