Oh Maureen, you are awful.

What has happened is Eva has served him with claims about his behaviour that hit home. Hard. When you read how much of a cunt you are in a legal document it can destabilise your mind. His reaction now is to act the victim so as to distance himself from the truth, which obviously hurts. That has spilled out into his management.

It happens a lot. If you complain about bullying or harassment by your boss, like clockwork they will suffer health problems and pretend they are being victimised. It calms their minds. But unfortunately it puts them into a position of weakness where the likes of Dantes and Carneiro can be ruthless.

This is an interesting situation for Mourinho. He came back "home" on the back of a troubled and relatively unsuccessful stint at Real Madrid, happy to have people fawn over him once again. And it was all going pretty well... until he hit that dangerous third season.

I think it was 2 seasons at Porto, 2.5 at Chelsea the first time round, 2 at Inter and 3 at Madrid. Something like that anyways. He's never really proven that he can remain successful at a club for more than a couple seasons and deal with the inevitable troughs that come over longer periods of time.

The way this season has panned out so far and his behaviour in particular isn't really doing much to dispel the doubts people have over him and his place amongst the games great managers.

I wonder if he cares. If he quits, people will say he can't hack it. If Chelsea stick it out with him and he can't turn it around, it raises uncomfortable questions. The safest outcome would be for Chelsea to sack him allowing him to continue down the conspiracy theory and excuses line. I doubt all this is part of some great master plan to get himself sacked... but I can't help but think it's at the back of his mind.

Whatever happens, he'll end up in a situation where he's been run out of Spain, Italy and England. Doesn't look great.

It seems Costa needs to moonlight as a baker to make extra dough

"Can I take your photo? You look a bit like someone famous and it would be really funny to make out he has as shit a job as you"
"No. Fck off"
"But I'm famous myself"
"Oh, ok then"

So many wankers, they always play the "victim" card. After they fecked people around for years themselves, and treated people much worse. It's so predictable

Eye wateringly funny. Karma is a bitch Maureen.

Less than a point a game so far.

 

[cloggypop]

He could well be gone this weekend with the internationals coming up.

 

[Mystic]

I'd laugh, but without doubt we'll fuck up this chance to go 9 points clear of them by drawing or losing tomorrow.

Nah, Jürgen's got this. We owe them one (well, more than one actually) and he'll be keen to put that right.
