'Classic Jose' - My favourite mind game was the one where he was taped saying that Demba Ba and Fernando Torres didn't exist. Some top mind games that.

No you wouldn't.

There is a method behind his madness, so to speak. He doesn't talk shit for the sake of it and knows exactly what he's trying to achieve. People get sucked in far too much with what Mourinho says. That's entirely what it's all about though, because the attention gets diverted elsewhere and removes some of the outside pressure of the media from the club and players.

It has been a large part of his success. And as long as he's able to continuously back it up with success, it will be something he'll continue to implement.


When he first came to this country i'll agree it probably worked, now its just boring and nearly always makes him look like a complete twat now.

I don't tbh, no more than any other manager anyway.

Just some Chelsea fans actually seem to believe everything he does is part of some sort of masterplan.

No one is picking up on the fact Wenger feels theres no room for Cesc? Granted you dont need him per say but hes better than all your midfielders.

It's still effective when it comes to our squad and removing some of the external pressures and diverting attention elsewhere, that's about it. The difference though is that when he first came to England, the English media had never seen someone like this and thus it fresh. Now everyone knows how he works and the approach is no longer fresh or interesting like it once was.

I very much doubt Mourinho has ever really cared how he's perceived in the media or by the general public, that's certainly not going to change now.

Report is Remy is replacing him at Liverpool for £8M

Not a bad deal. Even if QPR are wankers for making us pay double in case we wanted to buy him.


That was/is a brilliant contract clause in fairness

I agree with this.

He's become pretty bitter since his time in Italy and Spain.

He pretty much says the exact same things, he just doesn't smirk as much.

He's still the best in the world.

They're my bet for the league this year, they've strengthened the positions they were weak in last year when they came very very close.

There used to be a method behind it but now he does it so much people know its bullshit so it doesn't really work how he would like.

George Thorne to Derby, Looked a very good player in the playoff final. Would be really annoyed if I was a West Brom fan.

From what I've seen I think Ulloa is a very good player mind. Apparent lack of pace.

I can't understand why no one is buying Fraizer Campbell. Think he adds something to the vast majority of clubs.

Wenger on Vermaelen: “I cannot guarantee he’ll stay, but should he go I will bring another centre-back in for sure.”

Seems like its happening then sadly.

Looks like Ben Davies is coming to Spurs with Sigurdsson going the other way, nothing confirmed yet though. Seems a bit silly to me, Sigurdsson should be kept. Hopefully this means Assou-Ekotto is off.

Crystal Palace have apparently got a deal to sign him. Same with Sigurdsson, although this Swansea part-exchange might derail that.

Ben Davies to have Spurs medical

Still no mention if Sigurdsson is definatly staying or going. It also states that we are interested in Vorm.

Can see him joining us.

Feyenoord's director of football: "It would be logical if he moved on, but then a club must be willing to pay the right price. For all parties it's a good moment to think about a transfer"
