coogar: the accusation is reckless, JM is more attack-minded than football fans give him the credits for. he always plays to win. an attribute only few managers have. the thing is if his team manages to score first, he tends to flatten the game to protect his lead but when jose is trailing at half time or there's a deadlock, then expect armageddon mixed with hiroshima - this is the only manager that can throw in 3 subs at the same time at halftime, the only manager that has substituted a substitute!

Your head be like mortar

This is why the JTF need to take law into their hands by killing any suspect apprehended.

It's time for Keshi to re-invite osaze to the super eagles

mukina2: " "

na fredoo name sake

AjanleKoko: A clear, undisputable failure, by Mourinho's own set standards, as well as those of the club.
Semi-finals of the UCL is not an achievement for someone who has won it twice, no?
And this is Madrid we're talking about. 3 semis in a row, and still didn't get to a final. Might as well have been knocked out in the second round

omar22: Tell me what was the Value of the Swiss team (Basle) that knocked out Manchester United out of the Champions League last season

And the value of scottish team (celtic) that barca struggled to curtail in the group stage.

Some people think football is about the money spent on players. Messi was brought from argentina for stipends, but his growth over time has made him the most valuable player in the world. If barca decides to sell him now, he will be the most expensive player in the world.

This same thing can be said of dortund players. The value of each one of them has increased astronomically.

Dortund may not have spent much money on their players, but it took them time to groom these players. The time is what Madrid were not ready to sacrifice, hence their spending on players.

You do not expect the land I bought in lekki when the place was still bushy to cost the same now.

hornipipe: three to four years before his appointment did Madrid have a squad made up of young vibrant world class players like he did?
Do you realize how much was spent in transfer markets during his time just for the sake of forming a new galatico?
Give that same amount of money to any manager, and you'll be surprised he just might win even more trophies than mourinho.
The fact remains mourinho is overrated, there is absolutely nothing special about him.

What would you say about Manuel pelegrini that spent 80M pounds in bringing ronaldo, 56M pounds for kaka, brought higuain, huntelaar and some key players and yet could not manage a trophy throughout his stay at Madrid.

Did Mancini not spend more than the amount Mourinho spent in madrid? How many trophies did he have to show for the amount he spent? Yet, he's heralded as the most successful manchester city manager.

There should be no doubt about mourinho's capability since he's proven himself in 3 clubs already. His stay in madrid was marred by the dis-unity in his team.

His treble winning Inter that was inherited by Benitez were unable to find their feet under the new manager. So quit hating, he's the best.

hornipipe: Yes he failed, he needs to drop his arrogance.
Come back to epl and get bullied like a schoolboy.
Special one indeed.

Stop the hate. Assess Madrid's achievement 3 or four year before his appointment, then you will know he actually did a great job. Although, by his own standard, he failed at the club. Other managers would be proud of what they achieve should they manage to replicate mourinho's achievement at madrid.

Remember Pelegrini also flopped in this same club. Not even a CDR.

try69: Bros we are not comparing UCL and EUROPA here but "the EUROPA LEAGUE and the ENGLISH LEAGUE".

Answer me this simple question, would you say a europa league vied for by selected teams in europe is a lesser title compared to the english league which is just competed for by "just" english teams?

Manchester united had a better season than chelsea. No top team takes europa league seriously. Chelsea never did, the reason why players like Ake, moses and even lampard were fielded in many of the games.

Athletico Madrid rested their important players ahead of a very tough opponent in the league. You wonder whu they were thrashed at home.

A club president even refer to it as a messy competition. Don't delude yourself, United season was better.

Chelsea fan

When is the new coach's arrival going to be officially announced?

mukina2: Predicted Bayern XI: Neuer; Lahm, Van Buyten, Dante, Alaba; Javi Martinez, Schweinsteiger; Robben, Muller, Ribery; Mandzukic

Predicted Dortmund XI: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer; Bender, Gundogan; Blaszczykowski, Gotze, Reus; Lewandowski

How mama go carry baby for 9 months come give am this kind name?

Chynx: Bloat all u want my dear...poor asss-annal fan.

He's a barca fan, still trying to recover from the 7-0 defeat to Bayern .

docadams: If u were to be a club owner who would u hire as your manager, Guardiola or Mourinho?

A sensible club owner would hire a man that is more experienced and has proven himself in 3 different countries.

tzetzefly: But he didnt, did he? This same Atletico Madrid team were beaten by a dis-jointed Barca FC (1-2) with a man less i.e. (Messi) just 5days earlier with 35mins left in that contest....

So FC Barca with such problems, still boast of a better play rating than Madridista. My submission.....

Going by your logic, QPR defeated chelsea early this year, and Chelsea on the other hand defeated Man Utd, so QPR could as well win Man Utd cos they defeated a team that defeated them? Football is not mathematics.

Moreover, the game between Barca and Athletico was just a mere formality. You wouldn't expect athletico players to risk getting themselves injured for such game while they have a crucial final ahead of them

Afam4eva: But he won the UCL with them. What's your point exactly?

dayokanu: Premier league is weak , Mourinho would win something with Chelsea if he goes there

If a pathetic sod like Mancini can win FA cup and EPL

My point is to clearly debunk the above assertion

barcanista: Point of Correction, La liga is about Barcelona and others. Madrid is Mediocre team, TROPHYLESS people. Instead of madrid to humble and submit loyalty to BARCA,they want to prove stubborn now humiliation. i thought mou has never lost a final?hahahaha mad-lose.

Don't you have shame? How would you describe a 7-0 defeat in a champions league semi final?

dayokanu: Did Juande Ramos win La Liga?

Carlos Quieroz who was highly rated from the EPL failed miserably in La Liga
Mourinho could only win 1 League in 3 yrs while in EPL he won the first 2 league titles

Benitez could win two La liga with Valencia but could not win a single premier league with liverpool.

Belovedd: I pity all these Chelsea players singing praises of mourinho. after im don bench Cech, Lampard and Oscar. Na that time them go begin talk true

Cech is not as heady as Casillas

thegoodjoehunt: Was the house divided when Guardiola spanked his a.s.s 5-0. As far as Spain and La Liga is concerned, there is nothing SPECIAL in this ONE.

The only special thing he failed to achieve is the CL. He defeated the so called Barca in Copa del rey final in his first season. He proceeded to win the la liga in his second season. But for the disunity in his squad, he could have easily won this final.

thegoodjoehunt: I think EMENALO has to rethink bringing Mou back. In Spain, he went from the SPECIAL ONE to the NO ONE.

He's still the special one. Just that he's hated by his players. You wouldn't expect a house that divides against itself to stand.

dayokanu: Mancini won the league.

Mourinho won 2 league titles in his first 2 seasons in EPL, How did he fare in La Liga

Ancelotti couldnt even win French Ligue in first season won EPL in first season

Mourinho won La liga title against a formidable Barca team (which is arguably the best team of all time). He flopped this season cos of the disunity in his team.

Juande Ramos who was highly rated after his great work at sevilla, disappointed at Tottenham. So, it is not really about the league.

dayokanu: Premier league is weak , Mourinho would win something with Chelsea if he goes there

If a pathetic sod like Mancini can win FA cup and EPL

Since Premier League is weak, let's see the number of Trophies Athletico coach would win with manchester city.

Hope you didn't forget that Benitez twice won La liga with Valencia before moving to england where he could not win the premiership

IYA NGBALI: dream on

She meant the athletico side
