I tried it a couple of yrs ago for a few months, found it very overrated. I honestly find Blackpool when it gets the weather is as glamorous and glitzy as any of these places. Walking along Blackpool beach in the sun, with a fried egg sarnie- pure bliss
"Make Utd great again"
Jose misquoted Hegel though. "The truth is the whole", not: the truth is IN the whole.
Fool me you can't get fooled again.
Brilliant.
Even if slightly misquoted. Wonder if he's intentionally trying to hark back to Cantona etc. Back it up by marrying a good performance with a win on the pitch now.
Mourinho embargoed portion:
“Let me now quote the late great Col. Sanders, who said,
‘I’m too drunk to taste this chicken’.”

But then you're from Poleglass
He's cracking up.
I've just watched the press conference. It was a pretty rude question to be honest. If you had won as much as Mourinho had why would you let someone ask you: 'would you still be one of the greatest managers in the world or would that just be an old thing based on reputation?' Plus there was an emphasis in the tone of voice on 'old.'
Why is Mourinho expected to sit there meekly while weekly being sneered at by people who, frankly, don't seem to know as much as the best posters on the CAF?
Great quotes by Jose... Anyway wouldn't surprised if he got compared to Hitler here pretty soon.
Wait, so Mourinho said he had won league titles in Spain, Italy and England. He also said last season finishing 2nd with Man Utd was his biggest achievement? Why don't a journalist ask questions to expand on what he means?
I find that fascinating.

'He's digging a whole for himself'.

Exactly. Would they dare to ask pep that?
Well its obvious. The media keeps telling him he's a past it manager and that the new kids on the block are so much better. If he's so bad but he finished above them it must be a fantastic achievement. Mourinho even asked the journalist if he asks these questions of the managers who finished 3rd, 4th and 5th last season.
Yeah I remember that... not her finest moment. Very unprofessional.
We're at the point where his press conferences are the most entertaining part of the week
Thanks @Scarecrow . Mods should put a threadmark on your post. Ridiculous how anyone who enters this to read quotes ends up going through 4 pages of nothing but moaning and only one tweet.
I think he tries to say the competition is difficult. City was impossible to touch and we finished higher than pretty good teams in Tottenham and Liverpool. Second was the very best we've could've hoped for last season. You could say it's a snide remark about the quality of our squad, or just an admittance that there's never been tougher to get a good finish.
It's either that, or he's taking the piss about the drooling in the press over those teams and their greatness.
Maybe he meant Toad?
I like this Jose. As long as he doesn't blame his own players, I don't care what he says to piss off other managers and the media.
I really don't see anything wrong with that press conference. I actually think it was good.
Tell me about it.
I had to trudge through 3 pages of useless shite before finally finding a genuine quote from Jose.
The sad fact about this is, no matter what he says or does in the press conference if he doesn't win the next couple of games he is in big trouble. Imagine he loses tomorrow and then loses after the international break? It's all over imo.
I think it would be worse if we win tomorrow to paper over the cracks, then lose next couple of games after we come back because the heat on him will reset will wind up slowly until he leaves. Every time he wins, that momentum stops.

What a ridiculous post
Is greatness based on current events or based on achievements over a period of time? Would you say Ali was one of the greatest boxers ever or would you argue well he was shit at the end so prove to me he is great. Your agenda is embarrassing you mate.
It's great that he quotes Hegel because people might try to read him but the quote in itself is extremely out of context. It's about how absolute truth exists in the context where you take into account every single subjective truths. Truth is the whole.
I don't that it makes much difference what he says anymore, results on the pitch are all that counts at this point in his reign.
Another loss on Sunday will surely equal game over.
These threads need to be posted a mod and kept closed while the mod is posting the quotes one after another, then open it for the moaners, so that at least those who want to read the quotes will find them in first page.

Yeah but he’s not Alive now, bet I could take him!
Fractured but whole.
Jose is right that journalists should respect the whole of his career as a manager and not getting fixated on his problems now. And as a whole his career is fantastic.
Quotes from philosphers. Yes. That's what we want. State of the journalists, I reckon most of them had to google Hegel.
All the press wanted was another episode of "Moody Jose" - where the press look for anything they can say is moody to report as him being moody.
"Jose, why do you react in such a moody way to the way the press covers you?"
"Jose, can't you lively up a bit, maybe cheerily confont an opposing player on the field after the game or something?"
"Jose, why are you not happy with our constantly negative reporting of United?"
Hegel also said:
"We learn from history that we do not learn from history." One for Woodward and the Board?
"Be a person and respect others as persons." Another Jose fave
"Just as little is seen in pure light as in pure darkness."
In a parallel dimension, United had a good run and won the Premier League & the press regard Jose as a deep philosophical genius

Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Hopefully the mods will consider it for future threads on Jose's press conferences.
I don't fecking care if he has won the championship on Mars. His boasting about previous achievements means to absolve him from the blame for the club's current predicament. He refuses to acknowledge that the game and coaching has progressed and he has stayed in the same place. His football is dinosauric now.
UGH THE MANAGER DOESN'T SAY WHAT I WANT HIM TO SAY
In case anybody needs a TL;DR of this shithole.

What are you even talking about?! First of all it was 1-3 with Atlético de Madrid and that game was just a Champions League Semi-Final - nothing mutch in your head I guess. Was also his fifth straight Champions League Semi-Final - again nothing mutch. Then he lost the aggregate with PSG - pretty good team - by the away goal rule (3-3)... the only bad result was indeed the crash and burn performance against Sevilla.
Mourinho won the League and the League Cup just in the season 2014/2015 - three years ago - he won the Community shield, League Cup and Uefa League just two years ago already with United... so its hard to understand what people mean by past it, or "dated manager"!
The so called great managers of today like Pochettino and Klopp won 0 titles in that same period of time and they finished behind United last year... are they dated managers?
You might not like his brand of football or even his "persona", but results wise he is still one of the very best in the world - hell even in the mighty premier league there is only one manager that has won more than Mourinho in the last 4 years!
I quite enjoy it when he massages his own ego, but we need results on the pitch to match it.
If a manager does not have a big ego, MUFC will chew that manager up and spit him out. Ask Moyes. That dude had no ego, worked blood hard, but the weight of the MUFC crushed him.
Now, let's win some matches!!!

The question was indeed rude, but Jose stepped down to the same level. No surprise there, though. Both the press and JM deserve each other. Hyenas smelling blood again against a self inflated balloon on the verge of a prick. Makes tons of fun for neutrals, I guess.
What is record of bigotry, towards women or otherwise?
