Jose brands seedings as 'silly'

By Tom Adams - Created on 5 Aug 2006

 

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hit out at the seeding system that has left the two-time Premiership champions ranked in the second group of clubs for the UEFA Champions League.

 

The London outfit face getting another of Europe's top sides in their four-team group for Europe's biggest competition, with rivals Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United all placed in the top echelon.

 

The forthright Mourinho has taken umbrage at the ranking system, although the Portuguese boss pledged he was looking forward to testing his all-conquering Blues against the best the continent has to offer.

 

"We are second seeds," said Mourinho. "There are four English teams in the competition and I don't remember when Liverpool were English champions.

 

"Manchester United were four years ago, Arsenal three years ago but Chelsea were champions for two consecutive years.

 

"We are second seeds and that's silly but that is Uefa's criteria.

 

"I don't go against it, I just enjoy it because we will play some very good teams in the group stages.

 

"Barcelona, Real Madrid and possibly Milan and Inter are in the first pot so it's very enjoyable to have a big team."

 

The charismatic Blues boss is also unhappy with Chelsea's pre-season preparation, or lack of it, as they prepare for their first friendly match against MLS All-Stars.

 

The Premiership champions have been unable to get their pre-season campaign underway due to the large number of their players that participated in the World Cup, and Mourinho is concerned about the effect a lack of practice will have on his side.

 

"We have a big disadvantage in relation to other teams because some opponents they have already four, five, six matches," Mourinho told Sky Sports News.

 

"We have not even one minute of competition. We start late because of the World Cup."

 

Meanwhile Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has insisted that exiting Stamford Bridge was never in his mind during a difficult first season with The Blues.

 

The England international struggled for first-team opportunities after his move from Manchester City last summer, but the tricky midfielder says he is committed to making a success of himself under Mourinho.

 

"I never thought about leaving," said Wright-Phillips. "It never even went that far.

 

"I am only 24 now and I am not thinking about going anywhere."

I can answer this for him, the domestic league has nothing to do with the champions league. Liverpool have done it 5 times, Manchester united have done it twice. And arsenal were closer last season than you were.

 

So just f*** off you c***.

 

there, thats better.

1990 Jose.

If he can't understand European seedings are based on European performance then I really feel sorry for him, bless his little Portuguese socks...

moaning about a system which has been in place for yonks.

 

Maybe it's because until 2 years ago, Chelsea were nobodies. Just because they have all the money in the world doesn't mean we should start respecting them

He does an excellent job of taking the spotlight off his team.

 

Still a d****ead though.

 

i used to give him the benefit of the doubt but i don't believe that it's about that any more. he's a self-publicist and kenyon seems to be the one now putting chelsea the team and club in the spotlight.

What a dumb sh*t. Maybe Jose should stop talking and start thinking and he might then understand why his pathetic club is seeded last among all the English clubs in the CL.

18 f**king times you ingrate.

 

Let's take a look at the world since the turn of the millennium shall we?

 

Chavs

2 x League Title

1 x FA Cup

1 x League Cup

 

Liverpool

1 x European Cup

1 x UEFA Cup

2 x FA Cup

2 x League Cup

2 x Super Cup

 

Add to that doing better (and in most seasons considerably better) in European competition than Chelsea in all but one of those years... there's your answer Jose.

Despite the money he gets at Chelsea, I personally think he was distraught that he didnt get the job here. He was mouthing off about it loads saying how he loved Shankly etc and would love to manage us. Thank f*** we didnt get him.

 

That combined with the fact we knocked them out of the CL and now the FA Cup really really gets to him.

that probably says far more about Maurenho's voyaristic obsession with Liverpool than anything.

 

He just can't take the rejection ;)

Did anyone see Rafa on SSN talking mostly about the possibility of Gerrard being the next England captain and bringing in a new striker?

 

He was asked about Mourinho's digs at us so far this pre-season. Said "I try only to talk about my team. Not other teams or managers. I don't want to waste my time."

 

:cooler:

 

We got the real deal!

Who's to say it isn't true? If it is, it's working...

 

how so?

 

Rent Boys players are favoured topics of conversation in the media, and are forever plastered in magazines and the papers, just like most other big teams players. And if the amount of comments about the likes of Lampard, Robben's cheating, Coles diving on ere are anything to go by - I suspect they are popular topics elsewhere as well :D

 

I just can't think Maurenho has those intentions anymore (if he ever did), if he did - why did he actually go out of his way to point it out at one time. He just loves being centre of attention, he's a media puppet these days, a characature, nothing wrong with that like, cos it makes for good comedy hearing him cry and whine!
