Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy….
He used to be a translator, Portuguese guy speaking English earning a lot who went on to earn zillions in Football!!! Me, English guy who speaks Portuguese a lot better than his English as an interpreter earning… not a lot.
Not bitter in the least. Really not bitter. At all.
Nope not me….

The arse end of Hangleton
I'm clearly in a minority of ONE. I've always rather liked Jose - wouldn't want him as Albion manager - but I like his character and pantomime antics. And football is a pantomime. We need more managers like him in the game - it will make a change from the mono-tone boring ones.

Well, here we go. The beginning of the end, calling half of his squad shit:

“I never disguised the fact we were a squad with real limitations. We have 13 players who represent one team, the others are on a different level.

“At least the positive thing from now on is that nobody will ask me why I always use the same players.”

How is it possible to "like his character"?

I’ve genuinely never know a team with a ‘/‘ in their name but I think it’s correct as was on sky website last night. That’s so weird!

I quite like him too, but he is clearly a busted flush these days. I like the pragmatic way he talks, quite honestly. And when he was good, he was streets ahead of anyone else except SAF.

But the fact is, he hasn't got a tune out of any team he's managed since his last Chelsea title win.

Me too…….always good entertainment, but wouldn’t want him anywhere near us. I would love him to take over at Newcastle - initial success possibly, then spend hundreds of millions before it all goes tits up within 2 years and he gets fired, setting them back another 2 years:D

I'm not sure his bullying of players and club doctors should be classed as 'pantomime'.

I found him pleasingly different at first - getting in Fergie's face endeared him to me. Then I realised that he's just a snide bully and see his routine for what it is.

Apparently the first time a Mourinho team has conceded six, or lost by 5 or something. Couldn't quite hear what they said on BBC this morning

Not exactly shocking considering the teams he's been in charge of.

As for the stat, it is first time conceding six as he's lost with 5 goals a few times (like 0-5 against Barca in 2010).
