Only 1 refereeing decision gone their way this season. Cahill's tackle in our game at the Bridge ? Looks like they are trying to get José to say something he's going to regret. Good viewing .
Plus'd it. Watching it now. ****ing hell he's hammering them. Kammy's never been so quiet. Shepherds giving it a go but really getting it in the neck. Brilliant watch.
I watched the first half hour. Has there ever been a manager so successful yet so self-pitying? I don't get how people say he's charismatic. It's one long bitter whinge.
If it's supposed to be influencing refs in Chelsea's favour I think it's backfiring. Maybe they're getting sick of him criticising all season long.
The standard of refereeing this year has been well below par. I can't remember a year where so many big decisions have been wrong.
How anyone can have a pop at him amazes me, he is passionate about his club and his players. He speaks a lot of sense if you listen to him. When he stopped them dead and told them they had to call Barnes tackle on Matic as Criminal you could have heard a pin drop they didnt know what to do!! I think he turned up to take the total piss out of Sky and achieved it.
He was so dull it was painful. Really dull. A waste of time and I turned off and watched the Hull bit on catch up.
It could have been so much better if Shepherd (Kamara is a clown) had raised the subject of diving/simulation. Ivanovic yesterday being a prime example. Rolling around and then suddenly jumping to his feet. Mourinho's problem is he is not objective (few managers/fans are) and he only sees the game through blue-tinted spectacles.
Caught parts but going to watch in full. It was a last minute arrangement and Sky cancelled their planned guest James Beattie for this. They must have known what was going to happen and didn't really give Ben/Kammy time to prepare for him. Him against Neville or Stelling would have been better.
I see Chelsea are appealing the Matic red card. Surely there is no chance it will get rescinded....although is was a bad challenge the FA will never be seen to condoning retaliation.
And it really doesnt work does it....? He is building a siege mentality, simple as. He's done it at every club he has ever worked it and does it brilliantly. It becomes us vs the rest of the world and nothing galvanises players more. He's a brilliant man manager and brilliant at creating a team ethic.
You're making him out to be an old fashioned man motivator - Kevin Keegan but with intelligence. I think the motivational side of things is only a small part of his success. He hasn't "done it at every club". He managed to get the backs up of a lot of the players at Real Madrid.
Yeah, but he still created a siege mentality falling out massively with the hugely influential Madrid media in the process. Just happened that a few high-profile fannies who he dropped didnt like it. It's also worth noting that he won the league with the highest amount of goals scored in the history of any major top flight league in Europe, breaking Barcelona's massive dominance in the process. Just think of that for a minute, in the entire history of football no team has won a major league scoring more goals than Jose's Real Madrid. He's defensive as **** is that Jose.
