I guess I'm the only one who's loved Mourinho for years and has been begging the Football Gods for him to succeed Sir Alex.

3 years in the making this, and I couldn't be happier :D:D
No mate : there were plenty of us.

SAF hushed us all up the first time with his emotional blackmail to 'back our manager' Moyes and JoMo was at the Chavs when We eventually hired LVG.

Many many United fans have wanted JoMo as long as you have

Ok I think I'm going to stop using JoMo...it was funny at first but now I'm worried it will actually catch on. Maybe it needs censorship like top red is

On the same hysterical, pantomime fan-scale of judgement that also deems 53 year old father of two, and sometime professional football manager Jose Mourinho a "huge prick" too? Yes. Unquestionably.

Considering none of us know the sum-total of bum about any of them anyway, and that the comparative hugeness of their pricks is merely an overwrought argument about "the silliest shit they've done in football", I can't even imagine an argument for the humungous "prick" status that Jose enjoys, that would somehow, also, simultaneously absolve that trilogy of greats from the same swinging prick of judgement... Can you?

I mean, as iconic (and lets be honest, hilarious) it is now, I don't think you've quite registered how utterly ridiculous it was for reigning PFA Player of The Year Eric Cantona, to jump feet first into a stadium crowd, to kick a real life, mostly human opposition fan! Yeah, Mourinho once childishly prodded someone in the eye and then ran away, like Richard Hammond in a Top Gear ruck, but Eric Cantona JUMPED INTO THE CROWD AND HIT A FAN!! He almost took an old woman's head off too!

Then of course you've got Keano, who tried to end someone's career over a bizarre 4 year grudge that originally stemmed from an injury he got whilst TRYING TO FOUL SOMEONE!! .... And that's without dipping into the long, stamp-heavy, disciplinary record of both players, on and off the field.

Fergie, meanwhile, kicked a boot at his own player's head, sold his best defender for a ghost written anecdote about a petrol station, sued his own shareholders over a literal gifthorse, which ultimately contributed toward the Glazer Takeover, goaded a fellow manager into a public breakdown by going on a "disrespectful" rant about another fellow manager, banned scores of critical journos and slammed tonnes of referees, all the while refusing to speak to the BBC for seven years after one show said his son was dodgy, even though United's board at the time basically confirmed it by blacklisting him as an agent soon after!....
Mourinho was admittedly a dick to the only famous club doctor in the league (nay world!) but unless he did it whilst on the triple-prick-score square in Cuntopoly, I'm a bit lost at how he makes up the ground?

I've seen you say in other threads that you "don't get" the love for Mourinho. Well, the same bafflement you get from fans embracing a former rival (like, say Alan Smith, or RVP?) I get from the consistent and stubborn unwillingness to notice (or at least admit) that Jose is, and has always been, the most ball-tazering, lemon buggeringly obvious representation of a modern, Fergie-type manager. In almost every possible respect. The mind games, the calculated provocations, the siege mentality, cult of personalities, deep rooted loyalty followed by explosive media bust ups...Right down to the preferred fast counterattacking style, but the occasional reliance on bland pragmacy in the harder games, no manager shares nearly as many traits with Fergie as Jose does. Not by a country mile.

But of all the traits they share. The best one. The one that really gets me excited about this whole thing, is the trait they both have of being a huge, belligerent, confrontational, arrogant, talented, winning... prick.

This is my response in the "your preference for the next manager" thread 3 years ago:

Your preference for the next Manager?

Mourinho please... Moyes will be a disaster...
As far as I'm concerned, it's taken 3 very forgettable years for us to finally get to the right person.

You're basically confirming everything RAWK has been saying about all this. We're a bunch of arrogant dirty bastards and Jose Mourinho will only continue this tradition.

Perfect if you ask me. Let the shitstorm begin.

Sure, but take Chelsea. The same regime had so many managers, yes, they all got sacked, but none of them managed to do this badly and lose the players, not even Avram Grant. Even Benitez despite all the abuse he got did well.

Even worse regarding last season is that Mourinho actually won the league with the same club / players, so for sure he had his players ' respect and then lost the same players within months. That's on him, you can't blame other ppl for that kind of mess.
None of them managed to win the league 3 times by such gaping margins either.

I still remember my disappointment when it was Moyes announced. I'm glad we got there, eventually.
I don't use this term loosely, but I was depressed because I knew what was inevitably coming.
But better late than never, welcome Jose!

I agree with the Guardiola bit. He annoys the life out of me always getting to manage world class players. Would love to see Jose give him another meltdown

Jose Mourinho Manager of Manchester United. Let that sink in. After shambolic three years we are finally getting a manager who is worthy to be in charge of the biggest club in the world. Three years late, but better late than never. Just think about how out of order it was giving the job to Davey fecking Moyes.

Jomophobia is a great word. Full marks to the person who invented it. I'm going to use it

"Arsenal and Liverpool fans are Jomophobics"

Can you all stop with the sexually explicit commentary, please? It will save @Niall a lot of work when Google Adsense come knocking with their standards of decency, thanks.

And those of you that feel the need to quote these posts and encourage this...just don't.
Says the guy who just quoted all of them to make a point...:lol:
