he’s a master at this.

his team just got thumped at home, so first of all he says pogba should have been sent off, then says ole should steal to feed his kids? like wtf?

clearly it was a figure of speech, but now people are talking about that rather than tottenham losing again.
The special one loves to make football clearer by comparing it to food. He also has said that "possession stats are like badly cooked meat or fish".

It's a great concept. Write a book, Jose!

That is pretty funny :lol:

Wasn’t someone in the thread about living in Scandinavia saying that the child protective services in the country are quite aggressive? They’ll be having Ole for this :lol:

Are you sure it's that and not Jose just being a watered down version of Donald Trump?

I watched the woman’s World Cup before and it was awful but then I was talking too a girl at work and she said they should get paid the same and I said you watching the WC and she said no and I said it was part of the problem
The key to this argument is whether the claim is for equal pay at National level or club level.

The club level argument is stupid because its simple economics. Clubs are private enterprises free to spend their money how they see fit. Men’s game pulls in more revenue, ergo men earn more.

The National level argument is different because the FA fund this and they should fund the men and women’s games equally in the interests of fairness

he does it intentionally he’s done this ever since he came to england. it’s just that he used to be more smug in winning, now he just comes across as bitter.

Is this all over Mctominay situation? I think they got that right in the end. It is a free kick, but not a red card from second yellow.

Either Jose is in full meltdown mode or he’s just saying batshit stuff to divert from the defeat.

I’d think it was the latter if this hadn’t happened before.

Mourinho is basically staying you should always feed your kids even if you steal another child’s food.

It is okay to steal other kids food as long as it isn’t your kids. Kids are very precious which is why I never promote the youth as it would eat into their eating time.

He's turned in to Fagin.

I have to say that whenever I see Ole in an interview it feels like he's giving too much thoughts on his answers, but at the same time haven't thought it through enough.

It's like he feels the need to exaggerate on a point he's making, but then that just makes it worse.
In this case he didn't have to say the point about feeding his kids. It would have been enough to just questioning the time and effort Son played on his "injury".

It's funny because you know Ole said it so off the cuff, maybe due to English not being his first language despite being very good at it.

And then Jose turns it into some big drama between good and evil.

Hilarious what that man will do to get the public on his side.

What’s going on. Of all the things to say why’s Ole gone with not feeding his son? Hahahaha could’ve said anything - clip round the neck, stern talking to, no PlayStation. Such an oddly specific thing. Ole’s a bit awkward in front of the camera.

And what’s even more weird is Mourinho thinking he’s being serious.

Bizarre!

Calm down. It was a joke. Why should everything be so solemn? Maybe it's because I'm from Scandinavia myself, where irony and sarcasm are a big part of the humor, but Solskjær's statement was ironic and quite funny. How some can get mad at him over this ironic way of making a point is insane.

People get so easily offended and hurt over nothing today. There is a whole culture of insult where people feel offended by nothing.

Many players and managers come up with standard statements as if a spin doctor has instructed them because they are so afraid of being misunderstood. Do not get offended so easy - it is so boring.
