Mourinho quoting Hegel. Love it.
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 blissPersonally, I gladly swap my rather mundane and averagely paid job for the life of a playboy on the Cote D'Azur.
He's cracking up.
"Make Utd great again"Mourinho reminds me of Donald Trump. Completely unable to accept any form of criticism. Completely convinced of the rightness of everything he does, even when it's proved to be flawed or downright incorrect. Constant need to attack and belittle his rivals and detractors. Depicts everything he has done as being incredible, without exception. Never accepts any blame for anything that goes wrong. Monstrous egotism and egocentrism. Previous record of bigotry, particularly towards women.
Fool me you can't get fooled again.Jose misquoted Hegel though. "The truth is the whole", not: the truth is IN the whole.
Brilliant.Mourinho quoting Hegel. Love it.

But then you're from PoleglassI 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
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.'He's cracking up.
Exactly. Would they dare to ask pep that?I've just watched the press conference. It was a pretty rude question to be honest.

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?
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.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.
Yeah I remember that... not her finest moment. Very unprofessional.IMO she also undermined LVG by pulling faces to the delight of her press friends in one particular conference.
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.Wait, so Mourinho said he had won league titles in Spain, Italy and England.

Maybe he meant Toad?Jose misquoted Hegel though. "The truth is the whole", not: the truth is IN the whole.
Tell me about it.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.
What a ridiculous postIn the current time period? I’m not talking about the past...
If you are, go ahead and prove it to me. There’s certainly nothing world class or top manager about the job he’s done at United so far.
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.Great quotes by Jose... Anyway wouldn't surprised if he got compared to Hitler here pretty soon.
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.I really don't see anything wrong with that press conference. I actually think it was good.
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.Tell me about it.
I had to trudge through 3 pages of useless shite before finally finding a genuine quote from Jose.
Yeah but he’s not Alive now, bet I could take him!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.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Hopefully the mods will consider it for future threads on Jose's press conferences.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.
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.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.
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.Things change quickly in football. In 05-07 Benitez was among the best. Several years later he wasn't among the best any more.
Jose's last great season was with Madrid (11-12), about 6 years ago. Ranieri won the PL with Leicester a year after Jose won it with Chelsea. Wouldn't count that title as a top achievement.
Jose's last games in the CL:
2014: Atleti 1:4 at home
2015: 10-man PSG 2:2 at home
2018 Sevilla 1:2 at home
3 times in a row he was humilated at home in the last 3 CL campaigns. Facts speak for themselves.
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.I've just watched the press conference.
