Chelsea end of season dinner

Speech by Jose.... classic


"This is a football pitch with two goals, one ball, but there is one team that would like to play without goals," he said, of the plain red-shirted team, or Manchester United.

"That team plays really well and the ball goes and goes and goes and the quality of the ball possession is really beautiful, but no goals.

"And they ask the international board of FIFA to play like this, but they were told that it was not possible, that the bigger percentage of ball possession doesn't win matches and they were not champions.”

Mourinho then moved on to Manchester City, who finished eight points behind Chelsea in second.

He said: "After that there was another team (wearing sky blue shirts) that were less radical and they asked to play only with one goal.

"They were fantastic and they scored a lot of goals and the goals were coming from every position and they score and they score and they score, but they never conceded goals, because no goal.

“Again, the international board told them 'I'm sorry, you can't be champions because football is with two goals'.”

Speaking of Arsenal, Mourinho said: "The third team (red shirts, white sleeves) was almost there, because they wanted to play with two goals.

"They were scoring some, they were also conceding some. They were fantastic. They scored really beautiful goals, they concede some goals too and they were almost there.

"But they asked the international board to play only between January and April. And they told 'no chance, no chance'.

"You have to play between August and May, so they couldn't be champions.”

Lastly, of his own Chelsea side, Mourinho said: “Finally come another team (blue shirts). They wanted to play with the normal rules and they know that to win matches they had to score one more goal than the opponent.

"How can you do this? By scoring a lot of goals or not conceding and scoring one.

"And they did it both ways. Scoring a lot, conceding some. Scoring one goal and conceding no goals.

"That was the option and lots of goals were conceding, they played from August till May and sometimes they brought the bus.”

He thinks that he is so great but he can only manage teams whose owners give him millions to spend. He got lucky at Porto. He is arrogant and will no doubt get sacked yet again next season when the chavs fail to get into the quarter finals of the champions league. Bradford 4 Chelsea 2. A team which cost zilch and play in the lowest professional league beat Mourinho with all his multi millionares at the Bridge.

In fairness though Chicken, his assessment is pretty close to reality

Yes but he can keep his thoughts to himself. Did Ferguson ever take the piss with other teams? Never. No other manager does it.

Chicken,after your performance in the fantasy football competition I realise how knowledgable you are about the game.
Name another modern day manager that has won titles in 4 different countries,what other manager would have won the CL with Inter,a average side in an average league.
With Porto,who have been nowhere near since.
How anyone can doubt the tactical and motivational brilliance of the man is amazing.
You need to see through your dislike of The Special One and do what you really desire,come and support Chelsea.Its nearer than the bung club you like.
