At least they got paid millions doing that, some of the older guys in here throwing insults and argues for nothing, not even a e-trophy.
Mourinho vs. Conte: "I've never been suspended for match fixing"
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I'd understand it if the comments were clearly aimed at him though. He has issues.
Conte could have brushed that easily but fell in the trap.
Comments like 'they should focus on their clubs' etc. are so fecking odd. As if both managers have forgotten to focus on their clubs and can't do so without also making the other manager aware that they don't like them.
Not everything has to be done to gain an advantage, besides, even if you were to believe that, they're our competitors for second place.

I guess for a generalising statement like this to be even halfway true, you'd have to be invited into a Russian home and offered a syringe of something performance enhancing after dinner. Picture the scene.
Bit too close to the bone that remark from him but it's JM so its to be expected I guess.
As much as I love all this savagery, why is Jose taking aim at Conte and not Pep? Is it because Pep's not biting or is it because Jose wants to see Chelsea crash and burn?
He didn't take aim at anyone. He was talking about himself and Conte got misguided by the press into thinking it was about him
Jose isn't taking dig at anyone. It's just stupid Conte is defensive and thinks everything is about him.
You can bank on Jose bringing a grenade launcher to a fist fight. 
He was still suspended though
Mourinho wins by TKO
Jose was coming across all conciliatory and saying he didnt blame Conte etc, it was the media... then he drops the hammer 
Those jounalists love it right? Ariel Helwani level of instigation.
Childish.... But somehow strangely satisfying 
Conte wasn’t mentioned
Slightly different to corruption
He absolutely destroyed Conte and covered himself from getting in any trouble with the comment "did he? Not me".
Bloody brilliant. The last 2 interviews showing Jose getting back to his best.
Some real unity on the pitch yesterday also, much more of the same please.

I always thought the clown comment was aimed at Klopp. Not sure why Conte got all worked up.
I thought it was aimed at both of them. Conte does behave like a clown on the touchline.
Wow didn't know Conte was suspended for match fixing...
This all started with Conte not understanding journalists questions a while back. If you see Mou’s interview he actually blames the press more but with that comment at end, I think he is sending a message back to him to take more care responding and that he can also mixing it up if needed. Conte is clearly out of his depth dealing with pointy questions from the press. This is going to be fun now and can’t wait for the match at Old Trafford now.
He really did.
Yes that was my first thought too tbh.
I"m glad that Jose hit back hard,Conte crossed the line of decency when he called Jose senile,he needed to be put in his place and I"m glad that Jose has put him in his place....
He's the best manager we've had since Sir Alex Ferguson, He's doing a great job in my opinion
2016 when he was acquitted. Juventus, the dirtiest team in the world. They bough and bought titles by the pound. I wouldn't be proud if I was a fan. So when you wanna talk about garbage, lets talk about your team, huh?
Yes, those 7 minutes in the press conference should be being used to tap up the next Ronaldo.
It’s not like the clubs are hampering any long term plans with this. Apart from the fact that maybe Conte will crumble.

Conte has the last year's league title to fall back on, depite spending less. Mourinho needs to win something big, and fast, for the second year in a row things aren't going according to the plan so he's getting desperate and goes to back to his usual 'let's stir the shit' routine. If the first place was within reach and he was taking a shot at Pep, you could almost understand the logic behind it. But the title is gone, he knows it and the pressure to deliver something big is mounting. Unless he pulls a miracle and wins the CL this year, he'll have to spend another fortune and pray third time's the charm for him at United in 2018-19. The problem is, his third season is when things normally start to go south for him anywhere he works. I'm not looking forward to his next meltdown and I still respect what he's done for Chelsea, but at times the man is his own worst enemy. When he's on top, he's a sight to behold. But when things start falling apart, he'll turn on everyone, including his own players and fans. I've seen it happen.
That was just dumb of Conte to bite the bait, he should have just ignored it. I guess at that moment for whatever reason his emotions were running high and he reacted.
Everything against Porto was domestic based, José biggest achievement with them was in Europe. It wouldn’t tarnish his legacy one bit.
This is peak Mourinho
I have missed having a manager that takes a digg at the opposition now and then. I grew up watching SAF doing it and it adds a bit more flavour to the games.
Neither did Mourinho
This will only get nasty. I can see the fa stepping in here or maybe the clubs will have to put a stop to it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, referee Herb Dean has called a stop to this contest at 11:39am on Saturday, January 6th 2018, declaring the winner by TKO......Jose Mourinho!"
Haircut match is hardly fair..I hope it carries on all season and culminates in a haircut match at Wrestlemania
and as an added fecking bonus, nobody's talking about cnuting citeh
Liked the way Jose explained the fact that he was only talking about himself on the subject of his passion and it having nothing to do with his actions or body language on the side of the pitch and nothing to do with anybody else. So far so good. He should have left it there. But then, for some reason, he doesn't seem satisfied with that and feels he must give Conte a further dig by bringing match fixing into the equation. Imo totally out of context. Unnecessary and meaningless!
It may be interesting to some fans but I would rather win a Football Game.
I just wish he showed some of this fight on the pitch instead of in the press room.
Funny those who talk about only caring about 'winning game' or 'on the pitch' matters join a football forum and contribute to its content. Maybe should just stick to looking at livescore for score.
