Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

Lol nobody ever said you weren't entitled to an opinion. A common misconception with people is that, because they are entitled to an opinion, they believe that means they can share it with anybody and get upset when people disagree.

Nobody said you can't share your opinions, some of us just think some of those opinions are silly.

For the record, most of the things you listed are why I love Jose. Without people like Jose and Balotelli, we'd only have people like Pelligrini and have to gouge our own eyes out to stave off boredom. God I miss Mancini so much.

Also, if Jose always blamed his players for everything them why would roughly 90 percent of all players he has coached step in front of a bus for him?

I don't like it when people go all sarcastic on me.

You are right, 90% of the players he managed love him. I don't get it though, in his post match interviews he can be extremely rude towards his own players, especially his strikers. In the post-match interview after the PSG 3-1 defeat he had a dig at his strikers. Also, appearantly Mourinho lost the dressing room at the end of his Real Madrid job.

He's just trying to motivate them. I agree it's a little different and most American sport coaches usually keep that stuff behind closed doors but IMO, he just stating the obvious when it comes to our STs. They've sucked all year and they know it.

I'm not too familiar with American sport coaches so I wouldn't know but Mourinho's approach is definitely different compared to most. I assume he said Chelsea weren't title contenders before in order to keep the pressure of his players. He said that back when they still had a good chance of winning the title. Did no-one here find that his verbal assault on Wenger calling him a 'specialist in failure' was over the top? Yes, I know Wenger said Mourinho was scared of failure but still.

I definitely prefer Mourinho when he's not coaching one of my teams. It's more fun that way.

He said Chelsea weren't title contenders partly to take pressure off his players, but also because that was never a major goal of his for his first season back. We happen to have a squad of highly talented players capable of a title push even during a season where we are under performing, but this isn't even our final form.

Also he didn't lose the dressing room at RM, he lost Iker. Half those players still love him.

And then Ancelotti got there and named Diego Lopez his #1.

Just started watching Soccer recently, RM vs BM will be the first CL game I watch. Looks like a good one from the lineups. I'm picking Real Madrid by a goal.

Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

I dunno guys Bale is freaking scary good and a freak of an athlete. They are up 3-0 I guess Ronaldo's hamstring is doing just fine.
