It can only be him, isnt it? Mr Jose Mourinho, ex-manager of Chelsea FC. We can describe him using wadever superlatives we can find, he's still not gonna shut. The media scrutinizes his every phrase, dig at every dig he impose on fellow managers, but in true fact, the media adores him. A half a day wait for a 5min interview, u know that guy will give u something to write about for the next month. I think his amazing touch of speech in relation is too good to be true in the soccer sense. A politician or a lawyer he'll prob be gunned down as soon as he's outside of portugal.

Here are some of his famous quotes,
There is no pressure at the top. The pressure's being second or third. - acknowledge the fact that his team is comfortably top of the table, pressure's on the rest to play catch up.

It was like they parked the team bus in front of the goal...! - after a 0-0 scoreline with tottenham

We have eight matches and eight victories, with 16 goals, but people say we cannot play, that we are a group of clowns. This is not right. - when he was profounded about criticisms, expecting his team to dish out more beautiful soccer.

The linesman scored the goal. No-one knows if that shot went over the line and you must be 100% [on losing to Liverpool 1 - 0 in the Champions League Semi 2005] - I think i quite agree on this one, but the pressure is on the linesman at that time, and i think that is the moment, that Liverpool have somewhat became Chelsea's banana skin. Till today not an angle that the ball did cross the line could be conclusively aired. Technology has been quick to put into using various simulation of camera angles to show that the ball did not cross the goal line.

We don't have the worst red-card record in the history of football, we haven't thrown pizzas in the dressing room - I think he's referring the team from Manchester, whom themselves have had dressing room conflicts a season or two back. Great analogy to divert the attention back to others, equally irresponsible.

The sad news is that he had just agreed on a deal to inter milan!! I believe fans of epl would love to have him back(at least im one of them.)

Anyway thx to dingcheng, who helped me think of the name of this blog:)
