At every club he's been at since 2002, Mourinho has won trophies. Will he win one at Spurs?

Majority if the core is Poch's core anyway.

I do agree on the bolded part. You don't hire Jose and not give him what he wants because we have seen it in the past he does not take it well.

Absolute talents compared to Kane and Son except for Reguilon ofcourse who is on loan. They will win the the title because of those signings and not because of the team Pochettino left behind.
Everyone is desperate to give credit to Poch if they somehow win something this year. Giving credit to Poch is same as giving Mourinho the credit of Real Madrid dominating Europe after he left cause at least half of Madrid starting eleven was brought by him. Poch has 5 years, won nothing and sacked because he lost the dressing room , if you think he deserve any credit then so does Mourinho for Real Madrid.

They are winning zero titles with Jose in charge, zero.
History has shown that he never failed to win trophy at any club he went , a wise person wouldn't bet against it.

There you go.... and if by chance he wins something, the credit must go to Pochettino, right?
Some of the credit goes to Pochettino for building that squad or players ike Kane or Son up to a level ie the main players at Spurs and most of the credit goes to Jose for actually winning it.

It's like how I see if the next manager comes at United and wins the title with alot of this squad - I'd say that Ole deserves some credit for leaving the club in a better state that alot of the manager has done in the past and the title winning manager will no doubt will get most of the credit aswell.

Not really a game where alot of players, training, coaching, tactics are erased from memory when a new manager takes over.

Despite the fact that Ole is statistically United worst manager since Sir Alex ?

People thinking they are title challengers after 8 games is the ultimate knee-jerk.

Leicester and Southampton aren't title-challengers either.
Was only 3 weeks ago that Everton were awesome and would challenge. :lol:

Can't deduce anything until after the Christmas break, thats when you get the better picture on who are the main challengers.

And Jose fans are already worried that Jose might not get full credit if he wins the title. :lol:

Based on what statistic?

Higher win percentage than David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.
Spend more than both of them and trophyless

And Jose fans are already worried that Jose might not get full credit if he wins the title. :lol:
I think because this is the same guy who won the league anywhere he went in his second season except at United which he should have won as well knowing Pep broken the FFP rules. Playing the likes of Lukaku, Valencia ,Young , Fellaini, Mctominay, Rojo, Jones , Lingard , Mata , Sanchez week in week out and beat all the prem team that season at least once. If anyone could make Spurs winning the league ,this is the only guy who can do it.

In your view Spurs aren't title contenders because it's only 8 games (and they've had an easy run of fixtures) and nor are Leicester (presumably for similar reasons).

So presumably, in your view, Chelsea are likewise not title contenders - again because it's only 8 games (and they've had an easy run of fixtures).

If you are saying that no club is a contender for the title at this stage (because we're only 8 games into the season, then why bother to cite a list of easy-to-hard fixtures so far?

Or otherwise, having ruled out Spurs, Leicester and presumably Chelsea, it might just be easier for you to say which other clubs are the contenders.

I'm curious, are you Portugese? It's just the majority of your posts on the Caf are about Jose and they are all incredibly positive. Like the man farts rainbows type of positive.

I'm saying the talk is premature and I didn't cite any fixtures so you can put your strawman back in his little box.

In my view having a good start to the season does not a title challenge make.

Based on their squads Southampton, Spurs and Leicester aren't title-challengers, barring some kind of madness occurring. Granted, that is not beyond the realms of possibility given how the year has gone so far.

Chelsea are an outside bet but I don't believe they will be consistent enough and City look a shadow of their former selves.

Essentially its Liverpool's to lose and we'll know who's got a chance to challenge them by the New Year.

Hmmm. 'Physio' in quotes because?
She was screwing the players, making her essentially the team prostitute (or, euphemistically, physio). Of course, she was an actual physio as well but I'd suggest that the former role was more important and pertinent, and that her removal at Chelsea was necessary and deserved.

Have you got some evidence to support that?

Class of ego at Madrid and him stopping Eva Carneiro giving free blowjobs to everyone made him lose the dressing room. None of those situation exist at Spurs.
He's right though. Mourinho made plenty of mistakes, worst of all being the chronic alienations of most talented players (Balotelli at Inter, Pogba/Martial at United, Dele Alli/Ndombele at Spurs) but he did the right thing with that "physio" woman.

What in feck is going on here lads?

Is there anything to back this up apart from your furious wanking fantasies?

Eva admitted she taunted her (ex)boyfriend that she had sex with one of the Chelsea players. It has always been speculated that it was Ivonavic, but neither Eva or Ivonavic ever confirmed that.

Her ex accused her of taunting him like that when he sold his story to the papers. He goes on to say he didn't think it actually happened and claims she was just saying it to wind him up.

It's a bit of a stretch from possibly maybe sleeping with one player to what these other lads are saying.

I know right, the leap of logic here. May of had sex with a Chelsea player and taunted ex boyfriend.

To, giving out free blowjobs to everyone and having sex with the whole team, presumably at the same time while we are making up fantasies.

Saying that Ole is better than Moyes is not a compliment.
That's like me boasting that I can run faster than the 1 legged homeless man who sits on the floor in the town centre.

As for Ole winning more than LVG - I would dispute that statistic, because Ole has lost a lot of matches. Last year, we finished with the lowest EPL points total since SAF retired and this year we are mid-table.

You can dispute it all you like, it's the truth. LVG does have a slightly better record in the league though but Ole has done better in the cups, thus he's got a higher win percentage. But either way, it's pretty close between them, big difference is that we've scored 30 more goals under Ole than we did with LVG.

Ole = 56 wins, 24 losses in 100 games
LvG = 54 wins, 25 losses in 103 games

Anyway, dragging it back on topic Jose did better than both the above Managers.

Came to read about José. Seeing some incel-ish comments.

Dafuq is going on here?
Same, I thought I was in the wrong thread. Some weird side conversation about how Eva Carneiro was some kind of team bicycle but there's zero evidence and I think we're ready to go back to speaking about Mou now.

I honestly want Mou to stay near the top of the PL for as long as possible now because his arrogance and antics are creeping back in - for the neutral (although I'd rather Spurs won than City/Pool) we've missed his direct attacks on rivals and the entertainment he brings. Then Kane will get injured at some point and they'll tail off which will unleash the dark side in him.

I doubt anyone will compare Ole with LVG other than Man Utd fans, and for whatever reason LVG didn't earn the respect he deserved in Man Utd. This man did a great job for you guys in my opinion. He should be given one more year to finish his job. I am not sure who is responsible for the transfer in his era, but i remembered he got the unknown kids from academy playing dominating possession football in the league. His team did not score many goals but it was more down to the quality of the players. The structure was there.

See, that’s where you’re wrong! All part of the master plan. When we boot Ole out and bring in [insert hot coach of the month when Ole gets fired] we’ll have a team of players capable of playing Mourinho’s park the bus hoofball, LVG’s possession football and Ole’s counter attacking style. We’ll be unstoppable! Heh... :(

Looks like he's built a team that will run through walls for him and has no disruptive egos (Pogba, Hazard, Costa, Sanchez, Ramos etc.)

They still need to go up another level or two but the signs are there.

Better chance to win the league than when Leicester won it. Has a much better team than Pochettino had. Let see what he does at the end of the season. I definitely can see him winning a trophy.

Didn't we sack this manager? I can't remember.

They'll win the League Cup. Think PL is a season too early and expect Liverpool to get their act together.

He didn't really have to 'park the bus' today, this City side isn't Barca vintage. You know they can overplay so just exploit their mistakes.

Who knows if he can actually do it. Lucky for him there are no super teams this season clocking in around 100 points.

This is almost the same team Pochettino had but without such a great depth they have now. Which just shows how good Pochettino is in building a team. Pochettino team played much better, but mourinho has better players at his disposal. Give this team to Pochettino back then and he wins the league easily as has greater depth and quality

He definitely had them so defensively set up today, but going forward they looked so good.

Remnants of old José are still there.

My Liverpool supporting mate just messaged me to ask why Mourinho has Spurs playing like this but in general was a flop for us? I literally couldn’t answer the question.

When someone did a good job it is always other teams are in bad shape or in transition. Mou did not have unlimited resources or open cheque book this time.

Spurs have better players
