He's not.
I've also seen this since game week 4 or 5.
My pre season prediction is he would get top 4 - I think he'll end up 3rd or 4th. Will be a v solid season.

Better them than those bin dipping twats.
Madrid bought Mourinho what he wanted. He wasn't a failure in spain, winning the league against an allstar Barcelona team and reaching CL semis twice, after Madrid couldn't progress to quarters for a mere ten years.
Could be a great title race if we manage to stay in it. Spurs are in it for sure with Liverpool and probably City. Chelsea could be in it as well I guess.
So last season our top scorer was our weak link?
I would say your standing in this year's PL compared to Inter in 2010's CL is similar in terms of how many teams are ahead on paper.
Current Spurs is basically us in the beginning of 17/18 (remember when we won 4:0 back to back scoring late goals?). General play is far from inspiring and it’s a matter of time before they start drawing games instead of winning them (tbf if that time is long enough they could do a 08/09 us or Scouser last season).
This is as good as it’s going to get though, so at the end of the day you better get something in return because the implosion will happen when players stop buying into his method.

It’s not Jose I worry about. It’s his hordes of fanboys who still blame everyone but him for his failure at United. They’ll never shut up about how he “wasn’t backed” etc etc.
Kane's going to sneeze and Mourinho will call him a cnut and then collapse will begin there.
He literally says ‘after a long season’ after your bolded bit. Stop cherry-picking.
Followed by a season 3 meltdown at the start of next season where he didn't get backed in the transfer window by Levy. November next year he will be gone.
Have you got the commemorative DVD yet?
Lock this thread till there is an actual meltdown.
it's funny how you only crawl out of the woodwork when Spurs are doing well, and by doing well i mean winning some games, it's not like you win trophies, even at our shittiest we bagged 3 trophies while you won feck all. I've had as many poster run-ins on here as you, only difference is I don't duck and run when it's time to eat humble pie. When the Mourinho run ends in disaster, and it will, lets see if you're around for the pelters. You slaughtered us earlier this season, no doubt, but I'd rather watch my team with all it's flaws than sit through the shite your team served up today, one of the world's best strikers spending most of his time playing as a CB because your manager has a giant mouth but peanut balls.
Not him but i got the bluray of The Sixth Sense. Still gives me chills. You too?
he doesn’t have a DVD player yet as all Spurs’ triumphs are only available on VHS
If Lampard saying "we should have beaten them" is (according to you) based on nothing then you can't turn around and say Jose outsmarted Lampard, what is that based on exactly?
I find it comical that the media are jizzing their pants over Jose now.
they both injured last season and still ends 3rd on "since january" table, the table united fans used to defend ole
How is it comical. Spurs are at the top. Once again, media favorite (in a +ve or -ve way) guy is behind it.
It is sellable news.
It is starting to make sense now with the amount of drivel that was spewed out near the end of his reign here. People just make up any old shit and yell it relentlessly until people cringe out and go "yeah mate, sure mm hmm", then it infests the local consciousness and becomes an apparent truth that is recycled over and over. Bizarre shit.
If we aren't winning, I'd rather Spurs get the league. Not City or Pool for sure. It's very early days yet though. We will see after 25 games in. The amount of disrespect in this thread is mind boggling.
He was a top manager and is still a top manager. He was always going to be on a losing wicket at United. If he wins by parking the bus and the coach and the limo, people like Scholes, Neville etc would be moaning about it and having a go at him always. Then there was Woody. He is not playing Bale because his current team works better as a team.
The players have bought into his ideas. I am now surprised why United bought Pogba? Did they actually watch him day in and day out how he plays? I would say in hindsight we should have sold Pogba and got another player to replace him. Jose was right that it was his best season in coming second with that United team. I do not think the player really bought into his ideas at all. Certainly the fans didn't.

They're flying right now because Kane and Son is in the form of their lives. Jose at his best behavior when he's winning, but I'd like to see how he handles it when Spurs hit a rough patch.
At this point it's clear that it just us fans who are butthurt over Mourinho. Praising him means admitting that we are an utter shambles of a club that couldn't make it work even with a world class manager, and our entitled fans cannot even get behind such a legendary coach and would rather support nepotism.
It is painful to swallow and face the truth, but if we don't face up to it we will just go deeper and deeper into our delusion and not make the changes we require. The same goes for the hate for Lukaku and Smalling.
Seeing how the trend goes, I'd bet there will be extreme hatred for Haaland and Reguilon and even Sancho if they sign for another club with a long term deal. We will not recognize they are great players and that we just cannot get these players in because of out petty attitudes.
He absolutely loving every second of 2nd half last night with 0.00 XG though, pissed everyone else
We had premier league debutant Joe Rodon against Chelsea, all their chances came from his error. Apart of that we are arguably comfortable throughout the match.
I actually would love to see any of the top 5 6 teams on the last day being able to win it
He was fine last season in a rough patch.
he came in the middle of the season with little expectation, so he was more relaxed. But that's not the case now.
With Jose, when things got bad and the players didn't respond the way he wanted, he will throw a tantrum. Things is good when he's winning, but he usually returns to form when let say Son or Kane form dipped or Spurs got bad luck with injuries and officials. Tbh, I don't think Levy expect Spurs to be as good as they are now, so that would buy Jose lots of time when wins started hard to come by.
Well, to be fair, he did exceed all expectations on him so far, when he take over Spur midway through last season, no one seriously think he could take Spur to challenge for league title. Still top manager in the game, his biggest problems has always been from 3rd season onwards, so good luck to Spur, enjoy the result while it last.
OK, if you don't care about the 23 goals - as something for Spurs' attacking players to show for their counter-attacking style - then how about being top of the table? Don't they also have this to show for what you call "relentless defending"?
If you score 23 goals and are top of the table (for 2 or 3 weeks running now), it's beyond silly to expect our attacking players to "get sick and tired of relentless defending."
The team served up two superb goals, kept a clean sheet, controlled the game and returned to the top of the table. If that's your definition of "shite" then no reasonable discussion is possible.
How many United fans here believe Tottenham are the real deal this season and are their any Tottenham fans who think United may End the season ahead of Tottenham because I for One is quite confident United would finish higher than Tottenham despite the hype around Tottenham currently.
He might win them the league; you can see it on his face; he is enjoying the game again.
Of course, it will go bad eventually, but Spurs are not a club who can scoff at the possibility of a single title-winning campaign after having last won a trophy in 2008.

Don't know whether it's because of Spurs or Mourinho, some of you lot sound like some right bitter fecks.
Credit where it's due, Jose has done a great job so far this season, and last night's victory was thoroughly deserved.

When is the third season though?
If we're to count mid season takeover as first season, then Mourinho ended three season at Porto on high note?
There is no denying Tottenham is doing well with their tough run of fixture so far, but it's still early to conclude who is in title race or not. By point gap, even we as is can be considered as title challenger with a game in hand.
I think conclusion of new year fixtures would give better picture to be honest I expect few of the current challengers to fall away during that period and If I am not mistaken Mourinho's teams have always been frontrunner's with healthy leads whenever they have won the title ,they don't tend to chase down the leaders very well.
Its Mourinho. Some people just hate his guts. And some people even hate the people who don't hate his guts. Some people want him to fail, so that they can say "We told you so".
It is bizarre how much Jose affects people, supporters and haters equally. No wonder papers have a field day whenever Jose wins or loses. So many clicks.
Depends what you mean by "the real deal", top four contenders? Absolutely.
Will they win the league? They are so far handling their difficult run of fixtures well, 7 points from Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal games, Leicester, Liverpool and Wolves coming up for them, they get a draw with Liverpool and wins vs Leicester and Wolves why cant they win the league? I thought they would slide down the table a bit after this run of fixtures but they are still on top at the halfway point of their difficult run up to xmas.
They have some decent squad depth now, Winks and Alli can barely make the bench that is how stacked Spurs are at the moment. Jose has his team set up exactly how he wants, has his midfield general in Hojbjerg, and the power and athleticism of Sissoko beside him. The creativity and forward drive coming from Ndombele who looks to have shaken off his injury troubles of last season. If they can get Bale up to speed and get a tune out of him why not?
I do not think Man Utd will finish above Spurs.
