    I'm going to have a long rant at Mr 'Special One', regardless of whether the article is true or not.

    Jose has always felt inadequate compared to other managers. He may have the titles but never the respect, hence why he calls himself the 'special one' like a mantra. Like an ugly female constantly saying how beautiful she is because if she says it enough maybe everyone else will believe it.

    It shows in his conduct towards other mangers; Wenger and Pep just being two of them. Yes, on paper, Jose has achieved a lot which would look good on any manager's C.V. but when you inspect it closer, it's not that great.

    Winning the champions league with Porto was very fortunate. They were lucky to get past Man Utd (and I say that begrudgingly). Of course winning the Champions League comes with luck but really he was extremely fortunate to not only get to the finals, but to also face Monaco.

    Then after winning the double in Portugal (which let's be honest, has been a 2 horse race for the past decade) takes on a Chelsea team with unlimited funds, which was also on the brink of winning a title (a feat that would become recurrent with Jose). Chelsea had only come 2nd to the invincible team and would've surely won the next season had Ranieri or a manger of equal talent had come, but Jose came to Chelsea at the right time and as we know, won the league back to back but still couldn't get that elusive CL which Jose and Roman coveted.

    So what happens? He once agains manages Inter, another team on the brink of CL glory. I'm not for one moment taking away Jose's credentials because he is a great manager and he did well to win the treble. But again, a lot of funds and a team that was perfectly built for winning the CL, Jose quickly runs to.

    Then what does he do after that? Goes to another team on the brink of winning the CL and with unlimited funds and yes, he has come close twice this season but has again fallen short.

    This is why he constantly takes shots at Wenger and Pep. Wenger is like the underground band that never sold out and stuck to their philosophies but yet still hold a lot of respect amongts the fans and their contemporaries despite the lack of recent success. Jose on the other hand is like the band that went mainstream who no one really respects, and deep down it hurts them so they continue to habor resentment towards their more respected contemporaries. Pepe achieved in a few years what took Jose nearly a decade to achieve and still keeping his philosophies in tact. Remember, Jose wanted to go Barca at one point but he was turned down in favour of Pep.

    In short, Jose is a classless arrogant **** who will always feel inadequate when it comes to the respected managers of the world. If anyone is a 'voyeur ' Mr Jose, I'd suggest you look in the mirror first. He should've stayed at Chelsea, they suited each other: both classless twats.

    I think Mourinho has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.Didn't someone refer to him as "the Translator" because that was his job at Barcelona ?

    Even the Real fans were turning on Jose at one point. Not sure if that's the case now but look at how he conducted himself during last season's La Liga's version of the Community Shield. Poking Barca's current manager in the eye. Classy. And all his players followed his conduct.

    Everywhere he goes, he takes the club's class down with him, which is why he was at home with Chelsea. You look at Jose and then look at Pep. One is a class act who will go down as one of the greatest managers ever after only four years, while the other will be seen as an arrogant mornoic clown, despite his achievements.

    I just saw this tweet
    NO, Sir Alex, you may NOT have your money back. We could however give you a credit note for the Arsenal Store.

    There are rumours in the fog that Arsenal have had a bid accepted for Lisandro Lopez... I know he's getting on but how is he? Any good?

    I really like Lisandro Lopez, he's a pretty clinical striker, but like you say he's 29 now so if we do get him hopefully we don't fork out too much. We're not the kind of club who spends £24 million on a 29 year old ;).

    I know it won't happen but as opposed to back up would much prefer we went for a Benzema or Higuain. Though with it looking good for Surin don't think Jose will be willing to sell to us in a hurry.

    Yeah, it's a load of bollocks I'm sure. But it's quite funny reading on twitter how loads of Arsenal fans would be pissed off if we signed him :p.

    Hoax on Twitter. Following from MSN:

    "You may be wondering why the name Zef Kolombi is trending on Twitter. If you&#8217;re aware that Zef Kolombi was an Albanian painter who died in 1949 you&#8217;ll certainly be surprised to hear he&#8217;s been snapped up by Arsenal Football Club.



    A Twitter hoax aimed at gullible Gooners claimed that the north London club had signed the little-known Albanian player for a fee in the region of £18m.



    More than a few Arsenal fans took the bait, a few choice comments below with the names removed to protect the easily-led&#8230;



    &#8216;The chances are that you've never heard of Zef Kolombi. Well, no wonder the Arsenal are in talks to sign him. Typical!&#8217;



    &#8216;Wenger has surprised the whole world again ooo. Who is Zef Kolombi? He's going to be unveiled tomorrow...&#8217;



    &#8216;Who is Zef Kolombi again? Wenger u re madt ooo&#8217;



    Indeed.
