Go ahead....ruin them all.....it's quite a nice list you're amassing with Baggio, Batigol, Zamorano, Pirlo, Seedorf, Veron etc....and soon to a theatre near you ADRIANO!! :cool:
I'm not responding to that particulary. I've just had to quote something, and since you wrote so much Bull shit, I might have quoted this, why not.



Talking to you is pointless.

The end.

Haha, Mourinho's comments after the games are some what funny.
I dont know why he or the media is so obsessed with comparing his results to that of Mancini. Instead of saying that his results should be compared with Mancini's first year, he should just say, that Mancini was an era thats finished, and now its a new era, and he couldnt care less about the comparisons.

Press in Italy are really harsh on Mourinho. I dont know if its the case of being a foreign coach or something. Even if Deschamps or Cuper were never treated this harshly by the media.

Anyway, Mourinho, replying to comparisons about him and Mancini's Inter.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“I know that you, Mr Sconcerti (sky Italia analyst), are friends with Mancini and this is why you ask me these questions,”.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“You are not my friend, you are a journalist. If you invited me to dinner then I would not attend.”

:D

Simple. He is working for Inter.

What was the story with Mancio and "mister X".

The media in Italy are anti Inter, and we all know it.

Sometime ago, I was pretty mad about it, but now I'm just too tired to get pissed of about it all the time.

I think he should be more tactful with the media...We are concentrating way more on them than i would like..I want to see a Mou kind of effect on our team not on the press.

Cuper was working for Inter as well. He wasnt really treated bad by media, was he?

Do you guys think Mourinho is making a big fuss about his criticism in the media or is the criticism really too much? When Jube start losing Ranieri gets his fair share and more of criticism as well.

Now Mancini is the victim. If he coaches another Italian team, he wont be the villain.

The coach and each player of Inter will always be hated.

Italian Media is fussy so there is no point in fighting against it. The earlier Mourinho realises it the better.

He should have gone about doing his job quietly. And once in a while he needed to praise something about Italian Culture like Pizza, Pasta or Italian woman etc :D. This is the way he should have entered the Italian Media rather than reacting in equal measure against provocative statements because their Media will obviously support an Italian in such arguments. Folks it seems are just sitting in anticipation when he opens his mouth.

So his comments like he is being unfairly treated in Italy and stuff wont change anything unless he has a masterplan or something :rolleyes:

I think Moratti needs to take Mour out on dinner this week and tell him, just to answer questions that dont provoke a reaction. Mou wont agree obviously, but I think he is someone that will have a little impact on Mou.

I'm fully confident in Mourinho and the team just need to create a few more chances in the first half and the problem will be solved. The media isnt helping him.

Mazzola: Pressure's getting to Jose
Tuesday 11 November, 2008
Ex-Inter striker Sandro Mazzola has criticised Jose Mourinho's approach to life in Serie A. "He took Italy too lightly."

The Special One's side are top of the table, but the Portuguese tactician stormed out of his Press conference when he was asked to compare his side to Roberto Mancini's Inter.

The pressure has been growing on Mourinho after a few unconvincing performances and Mazzola, who was part of the great Inter side of the 1960s, isn't sure he can handle it.

“Mourinho always tries to impress people by doing unexpected things,” he said.

“He shouldn't have made the comparison with Mancini and now the journalists will ask him about it for the rest of the season.

“He probably overestimated himself. He wanted to set the tone immediately, but he hasn't been able to lead his side on the right track.

“Jose may have underestimated the Italian championship and now he is finding it more difficult than he expected.”
-------------------------

Mazzola is spot on, especially in the last part.

Whatever, Mazzola can say what he wants but the fact is Jose's sitting at the top of the table in both Serie A and Champion's League. Sure we haven't been convincing, but for your first 3-4 months this is good progress. Better than Mancini anyway.

I agree with mike here. Mourinho is doing just fine. It takes time to build a team . Even playing poorly we are in a strong position.

BTW you guys heard the latest great rumour from those bastions of trustworthy journalism aka the sun and daily mirror. They claim man city wanted to get mou by offering 18 million a season.

Well we will probably look better if and when Q and Mancini start performing.Until then the 4-3-3 isnt working its wonders yet.Thats why i would adapt to the players who are performing....

Another thing i dont understand about Jose (i am a supporter of his BTW) is playing Ibra in that 9 position.

Yeah, referenced to the fact that it's his first months, being at the top is a nice thing. But like Mazzola said (between the lines), his attitude needs to get better. He thought he can conquer Italy just like that. Now Mou must have found out that to be a difficult task. His winger system is just a failure and hopefully he's started to realize that and is working for a better one.

Well conquering means being first to the finish line which at this moment he still is. Whether he underestimate italy and serie a is probably true. But on the attitude thing I see nothing wrong with it. Its the same way he has been at porto and chelsea . I don't see why he must change just because the press and some don't like it. As long as he keeps winning it doesn't matter.

He might have to adjust the winger system. I would not completely abandon it just yet.
