mourinho moaning about liverpool again

few extracts from some new chelsea book where he goes on about himself and his place in history oh yeah and Liverpool .

 

 

"the disappointing FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool at Old Trafford - was that for once Mourinho's strategy and tactics were criticised. For a manager who has frequently gambled shrewdly and won, and who successfully introduced a diamond midfield at the end of the season to win games, this was a novelty

 

"Well, first of all, I'm happy with the critics," Mourinho said. "I won so many times and people routinely see my team win and win, and when we lose they have to go for something and I'm happy they go for my strategy.

 

"On the day of our champions parade, it was all Liverpool and Liverpool parade, and a Chelsea photo in the corner of page 34 or 28. It's absolutely amazing. It's absolutely amazing. So I think we are fighting the establishment and I am quite happy with it. I always used to say that the media can manipulate the people ... That's obvious. Media goes to your house every day through television, through newspapers, through the Internet, through public opinion.

 

"I think Chelsea, with the effort of the last years ... Roman bought the club, changed the club, brought Peter Kenyon, changed the manager, changed players, does a lot for English football, does a lot for kids, does a lot for society, does a lot for charity, does a lot in many, many different areas, I think Chelsea deserves much more than it gets. Another club would be already on the moon, and Chelsea is still far from being on the moon."

 

"I think I saw it in the champions parade," he said. "I think it was a parade without the real emotion, because parades, all over the world, are usually on the same day or the day after you win the title. So when you have to do a parade nearly one month later it means 10% of the reality. You can imagine: Chelsea beat Man United 3-0 and after the game - parade! There would have been maybe 500,000 people there. "

 

 

Its not our fault or a media conspiracy that chelsea had their parade on the same day as Liverpool's , Anyway the fella is seriously deluded chelsea couldn't even get 500 thousand people out on the streets after winning the first title after half a century so it wouldn't matter when they had their parade, its their own fault for clashing their s***ty parade with ours.

Maybe a bit of honesty too.

 

After spending 300mil plus the rest of the debt, wages etc, the expectation is that you will win the league with flair. That you won it after boring everyone, is considered a failure. That you let two creative players Duff and Gudjohnson leave and kept the oaf up front Drogba says it all.

 

I feel for Shevvy, who before he saw dollar signs, was one of my favourite players. I mean, imagine playing in front of shot on sight lampard, pass 3 yards essien, and the heskey'eque Drogba with SWP, Crespo and Robben on the bench.

 

also with Huth gone, who will he play up front when needs a tactical change?

They didn't sign Hilario for no reason ....

[Lee W]

They haven't even got 500,000 fans.

[Gravy]

I got the impression that they deliberately held the parade the same day as ours to take the focus away from LFC, as all Sky showed that day was Chelsea.

They need the positive press - its all about PR for them - for us its about celebrating a trophy win with our legions of fans.

[smithdown]

That reminds me of their parade the year before. Me and my mate were down at Victoria Station and there were loads of them already on their way home to Surrey - it was only about 3pm, miserable gets. We were on our way to Gatwick and, not being from London and all thought it a good idea to ask some of the locals "which platform for Istanbul, mate?"

 

We stopped after a bit cos it seemed to be taking away from whatever fun was left of their celebrations and some of them seemed to be getting quite angry for some reason.

but Roman has the money to bring them in.

[Jeff guitar]

How would he know what the coverage was like - Wasn't he at the Chelsea parade.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

That's not a moan about liverpool, it's a moan about the press. It's purely incidental that it was us that got the alleged press coverage because we won the Fa Cup.

[Stevie H]

ignore him.

'But history is to be changed. Because of the second title, we are not a Blackburn that was champion once, isolated, and after that is miles and miles away from it.

 

'Chelsea is not any more an isolated situation. It's back-to-back. And if, in the next five years, we can be three or four times champion, definitely that's an era where Chelsea has become very powerful.'

 

Am looking forward to them visiting Ewood Park this season

the guy is not only a fvckin moron, he's a fvckin incorrect moron. Blackburn have won the league 3 times.

Exactly and i expect Blackburn to give them a good kicking to ensure queenie remembers that.

Like they do every year?

[Bootle Buck]

I' surprised Abramovich didn't buy another 500,000 people for the parade. At a 100 pound a head it would have cost him less than Drogba SWP and Duff.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

all of them?

 

how do you know?

I've spoken to them all & can confirm it to be true

[realtarragona]

He sounds almost as paranoid as some of our fans

[Maldini]

The people that believe the media isn't biased against us are even more delusional than those who believe that there is a grand conspiracy against us in the media.

 

In my opinion there is no great anti-Liverpool movement, but there is definitely a kind of lazy anti-Liverpool (both the club and the city) sentiment present in English culture which filters through first to the general press and secondly to the sports press.

 

This manifests itself in stuff like the "Gerrard only stayed because gangsters made him" articles.

 

We're definitely given a hard time, but I think most of it is because of an unconcious sense that Liverpool as a city and a club is something that doesn't fit in rather than a "how can we spin this to make them look bad" attitude.
