Mourinho Bitter About Hiddink Or Just Champions League Nerves?

Posted on March 10th, 2009 by Chelsea D

I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t find Mourinho’s interviews in the press anywhere near as tolerable as I did when I regarded him as ‘special’.  I mean, even when he was our manager there were times when he had me cringing and wondering how the hell we were meant to defend his latest bout of paranoia – which I felt duty bound to do irrespective of whether I actually agreed or not. But now, if I’m honest, he just gets on my bloody nerves.

It might have been only five minutes ago he was going on about this great love affair he’s got with us and how he’d return to Chelsea one day but it appears he hasn’t taken all that long to change his tune as the headlines inform us he now considers us an embarrassment.

His latest rant has heard him suggest “Yes Manchester United are the best in England but you have to ask how good has the Premier League been since I left?  United have won it with ease since I have gone because no manager has put together a team that can rival them.  They have a great squad but are their players really that much better than Chelsea’s or Liverpool’s? I don’t think so.  Something else must be the problem and somebody has to take responsibility for that.  Chelsea have had no stability. Arsenal are nowhere and Liverpool threatened but I don’t think anybody really thought they were ever going to win it.  I would not allow a team of mine to be so far behind. It is embarrassing in early March.”

Now far be it from me to suggest our former manager is an egotistical cock but I wouldn’t be a mile off the mark if I did would I? I mean, is he bloody serious? Surely if he was as ‘special’ a manager as he seems to think he is, he wouldn’t even need to ask whether United’s players this season are really that much better than ours.  Does he not recognise a talented squad when he sees one?  Oh hang on though, he must do because he sold one of those at Chelsea didn’t he?

But anyway, quite apart from that what’s all this “I would not allow a team of mine to be so far behind. It is embarrassing in early March” business? Correct me if I’m wrong but right now we’re seven points behind United in the league aren’t we? So is Mourinho now suggesting that Chelsea – the very same Chelsea he managed, i.e. making it his team, weren’t 12 points behind United in March 2007?

Wouldn’t be at all bitter because Hiddink has already done better in his first five games would he?

    We can still win the league.We have all what it takes for us to do that.All the best to my team as we meet juventus.We are beating Juventus 2_1.

    Winning the league is totally unrealistic now we’re so far behind. United havent even looked like losing a game and we’d need them to lose more than that.

    Maureen could end up at Liverpool just to show Rafa how to win the League!
    But i would Love to see him win tonight in Shit bowl of Manchester
    Then he would really do a dance !

    But come on 30 points 10 games to go and you give up That is not top 4 club but just a small team idea!
    What happens if Manure drop points will Chelsea players and fan already given in and say we forgot that we could have won it!!!

    homes - why? he’s talking about us as an embarrassment when actually we’re in a better position now than we were under his management a couple of years ago. Is he still that special he can’t be questioned even when he’s being hypocritical?

    Jose is completely right though, our club is a shambles…..a joke now.

    Under Jose we has stability, we had a manager the fans loved, a manager the players loved AND a manager that was getting results. Since he left we’ve had 2 managers all of which have been sacked at a huge compensational cost and now have someone who we don’t know if he’ll be in charge for the first game next season.

    Imagine what Man Utd’s history would have been if they had sacked Ferguson early doors like many people suggested at the time…….but they stuck with him.

    Shame we didn’t do the same with Jose!!!

    Chelsea D, you should know by now that mourinho isn’t mourinho until he steps on someone’s nerves. Maybe that’s why they call him the special one. Reminds me of a certain ivorian striker at Chelsea. Call it a love hate relationship but these fellas certainly know how to pump out the results when they mean business.

    demola - he didnt ‘pump out’ much of a result last night though did he?

    No Chelsea D, i guess he didn’t. But in reference to that particular case, i also guess the god of soccer wasn’t on his side on that match. I mean look at those missed chances.

    Let’s hope the god of soccer is on our side in the last 16 draw so we get paired with a weaker team like villa real (they may not be that weak but i’d still take them) & not Liverpool or barca.
