    Cheslea's head honch has an ego the size of Jupiter. What do you think? Good for the team or just a nuissance?

    I guess he is good for the team (though I hope not, of course! :p ) but obviously, his attitude makes most other fans despise him. I guess the media would love him; he must be the most-talked about new manager ever.

    I do respect his tactical skills and I acknowledge that he's a good manager, but boy, do I hate his guts...

    He rocks in my house because if i was a manager thats exactly how i would be. ******** everyone, cause you know you are the best.

    Ps. He thinks that England hasn't accepted him. The Media might not have but true football fans have.

    He's alright i guess.
    Hope he moves on in 2 years actually.
    With the sheer talent of the squad, i'd much rather have a go at letting one of the up and coming English managers have a lash.

    Wow I can't believe he put his finger to his lips. Those poor poor fans. Unbelievable. What a bastal2d he is.

    /sarcasm off

    The man's a champ. He has nothing to prove to anybody, but he's gonna win the Premiership for 2 trophies, at least, this season anyway. As Stephen Cohen said, the English media hates a winner, especially a foreign one.. and I'd add especially especially one that gives them the proverbial finger in the process. Not that there's any danger you would.. and that's why we like you.. but don't change.. keep doing you Mourinho :cool: .

    He's a bit of a nuissance, but an excellent coach at the same time. I'm not a Chelski fan, but I don't think putting your finger to your lips is anything, I've seen people get away with a million times worse. I think part of the annoying part for some people, other than being foreign and very confident, is that he's doing this in his first season in charge...

    Gotta love anyone who shakes things up, has something to say to the press, etc. I think Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho are all cut from a pretty similar cloth. They are all excellent managers, a bit arrogant, and like to thumb their nose at their main opponents through the media. It keeps things interesting.....

    Mourinho is FAR more intelligent than Ferguson and quite a bit more than Wenger.

    He plays Sir Rednose like a cheap fiddle. Every time Sir Rednose makes a stupid comment to try and needle him, Mourinho turns it round and shoves it up Sir Rednose's a@$e.

    Remember Sir Rednose's dire warning that Chelsea won't do well "up North"?

    Mourinho shrugged and said "Maybe, maybe not, but for sure Man Utd with a draw at Fulham, and losses to Portsmouth and Chelsea, definitely don't do well down South"!

    He answered stupid conjecture with irrefutable fact and made Sir Red nose look stupid.

    And then Mourinho took Chelsea "up north" and won at Blackburn, Liverpool and Everton AND beat Utd at Old Trafford (in the Carling Cup)....meanwhile Utd drop more points in London - to Palace....

    Then Sir Rednose rants about United's fantastic form and Chelsea had better watch out.. But fails to note his team is further behind Chelsea now than they were three months ago and with time running out to catch up...

    Although I happen to support Arsenal, I have a lot of time for Jose Mourinho. I first read about him in World Soccer magazine's report of the 2003 UEFA Cup Final. The controversial tactics he employed in the Seville decider though greeted with much disapproval, especially by Celtic supporters, smacked of courage and integrity. To be honest, when news broke out last summer that he had signed on the dotted line for Chelsea, I got goosebumps -- the Stamford Bridge outfit's odds of securing a first championship title since 1955 had improved dramatically. The most crucial piece of the success puzzle had been put in place. I always thought that eventually his Blues side would be capable of great things; I just didn't expect them to begin to realize their awesome potential in his freshman season in the English game. This guy is destined for the very top. Given his relative youth, his chances of ranking among the best coaches of all time when all is said and done are very good. He exudes supreme self-confidence and never shrinks back to challenge the natural order of things (my kind of guy) -- Exhibit A: Last season's Champions League campaign with FC Porto. To those who think his self-assuredness borders on arrogance, I'd have to respond that born winners respond very positively to pressure. Perceived conceit comes with the territory. If a manager gets the right results, rationally-thinking fans can forgive the occasional acerbic diatribes. Top level football, much like life in general, is ultracompetitive. The sort of success Mourinho has achieved and is capable of achieving is not for the faint of heart. The better you are at a particular skill, the more you tend to polarize onlookers. Who cares anyway? Only the strong survive...

    The empty bravado of the unthreatened...

    His recent actions seem more the afterthought of a young man come recently to success, but needs it validated by the previously successful...

    Excellent and first rate manager. he had great success at porto, just seeming to pick players out of nowehere and watch them become champions.

    He has an ego, but I think he has to have one at a team like chelsea where the worlds eyes are on him. The eyes of Kenyon and Abramovich are'nt placed any lower, they have their eyes and expectations set high.

    I think you have to have an ego when you dealing with Multi million pound footballers on a daily basis. Look at Sir Bobby Robson at NUFC. In the end being nice was not good enough, also Bellamy was a ******** and so was Dyer.

    The only reason Mourinho get escorted from the touch line was because the steward that escorted him was a Liverpool fan, and just saw red the ********ing numpty.

    The squad wouldn't be where they are without him. Some say Chelsea is buying a title with players. So what are Real Madrid, AC Milan, Arsenal, Man Utd, Barcelona, Juventus etc. doing? He makes a huge difference.

    I just answered I don't care. He makes a lot of noise and is no doubt one of the best coaches in Europe. It doesn't matter if he acts like arrogant once in awhile. He doesn't go over the top. He understands the importance of a solid defense in order for the offense to function well. But, like many top coaches these days, his tactics can be too defensive, which comes back to bite his team.

    Mourinho is superior to God even. God's never won a CL after all.
