Reference: You guys take it easy. What is all this 'my daddy's car is bigger than yours'. There's no dispute here because in football you're only as good as your last game and your achievements will only be weighed when your time is up. That's why Messi at 24 may not be the best player ever because time is running out to catch Pele in the World Cup race. That is settled. Every other argument as to the best coach, best club, etc are very much open. Who says Pep at 41? can't win trophies in 5 different countries. Who says Jose can't win the treble back to back in Spain.

If Pep says he needs a rest, if Jose says he's the best, its their personal opinion.

mba emeka: I hope i can dissect your gibberish and show you were youre getting it all wrong.

The table never turned around that season barca won the league and the UEFACL they knocked Mou out of the UEFACL. In that march pepe and sergio ramos should have been ban for 8 matches!
The question of sending Pep packing cannot come to mind at all. Its like saying Fergie sent Mou out of Chelsea. Yes fergie won the league before Mou left and looked more likely to do it again but Mou was sacked for internal problems in Chelsea more than not winning the UEFACL or the EPL. Pep didnt leave because of Mou, dude he had beaten him in all the important competitions- he did it in the UEFACL, Laliga. . . when folks like you said why didnt he do it in the Copa del rey he waited and did it this season. Unlike Mou pep lacked the motivation to continue. .Mou is only staying back because he is yet to win the UEFACL with Real Madrid. He is also looking at the possibility of being the first to do it with 3 teams.

As for the all too familiar talk of Barca being a UEFA team. . .i beg to differ (i am an Arsenal supporter BTW). If a referee is bad on a day then it is the ref and not the team he supposedly supported. you do not see the barca players push the ref or Pep criticize them after loosing a match. He always congratulates the opposing team. besides, Anelka dived to get Abidal sent off why didnt you blame the ref then?

Mou, knelt down to beg for the Barca Job. He did it after Rijkaard left in 08. he incidentally was Clubless then. He was even interviewed but Laporta and co were convinced that he lacked the knowledge of the tenets via through which Barca played so they gave the Job to relatively unknown Pep. Like Mou did to chelsea when he beat Ancelloti and won the UEFACL in 2010 he wanted to prove to the Barca board that they had made a mistake. Today we know they didnt.

Yes Mou is a wonderful manager-amongst the best but like Wenger said a manager should be Judged by his success coupled with the resources he has to pull it off. At Porto he enjoyed a fluke in the 2003/2004 seasons CL and he admitted it himself. Its like saying RDM is a worldclass manager because he "undeservedly" won the CL with chelsea in so short a time.The same RDM was sacked by WBA.So He (Mou) enjoyed the same fluke. other than that porto had won the CL 2 times before then in their history. As per the Europa cup. . .well we know what AVB did too. Mou goes to teams with resources- Chelsea did, Inter did (before him they had won the league 4 times!!!!) when he came he garnered 7pts in the group stage at Inter and still qualified for the KO stage (PLEASE remember Pep beat him 2-0 later)He got knocked out by Utd. then he said he needed players. the following season he bought. . .wait for it. . .7 players! I can list them out for you. Remember he had frittered good money on Quaresma and Mancini That flopped at Inter a season before. He bought -Millito, Etoo, Lucio, Meriga, Pandev, Schneider etc. . .Then he won the treble. He had spent more than a $100million acquiring these players. Whats the fuss?

Even when he beat barca 3-1 and lost 1-0 he had already lost to them (and Pep 2 times out of 3 in one season) and the trouncing continued at Madrid. When i stated 5-4, 2-1 these were over two legs. Did you ask me about el classico? How many times is it played in a season in the League? 2 times right? yeah. . . guess who won head to head? Pep again. . .3-1 win and a 2-1 loss. . .who is whose bitch?

Alex Fergie, Capello, Wenger are better managers than Mou and he knows it. He is however on par with Pep. In his time he has been voted coach of the year once and so has Pep too. You can also google that

ddippset: Do you become the gretest team because you gain a hundred points or beacause you win six trophies in a season. Football pundits would tell you that this barcelona team is arguably the greatset in the history of the game. You don't suddenly become the greatest by winning a la liga title or by winning just one el classico out of the season's six el classicos.peps a very wise man.his ovation is loudest right now.he did the right thing by quiting with his legendary intact.there are two catergories of coaches. Those that ve been sacked and those yet to be sacked.if a coach does not leave as a legend, he will be sacked later on.mourinho will be sacked someday from madrid.for now mourinho needs to get even with pep.by winning a treble next season and beating barca 5-0 on the way. Until then he will always be pep's female.

ddippset: How is mourinho different to guordioala? He recruits mercenaries, wins titles and runs to another country without staying to defend his achievements.it is most difficult to stay with one team and defend than jump from one billion pound club to another.mourinho, the greatest coach? Heil no! The most ambitious coach? A big yes.let hime go to west brom or levante or parma and prove he is the special one. Some would be quick to say porto-at porto, he won the league, no surprise porto was always the best team in portugal. He won the champions league for two reasons, one man u were robbed in the semis, two all the big teams under acieved. I mean how in the hell did monaco get to the finals? At inter he killed them. Imagine an italian team without an italian in the first eleven.his arrival coincided with the relegation of juve and the end of a golden ac milan generation.hw won the champions league due to very questionable decisions from the ref.against barca.now he has at madrid the freedom to but a player even if he cost 1 billion pounds.pep has beaten him squarely in la liga.barca has won 3 in a row. Madrid has the title its not such a big deal. But if they defend it for 2 more seasons then kudos to them. Mourinho greatest? Rubbish. Most ambitious? Yes yes.

mba emeka: Did a simpleton make this statements?

let me help you from your folly:
1) What should be the reason any team would get beaten 5-0? Excellent calculations? Why did the "Genius" not know what to do? First, he bragged before the game (his usual ploy), other experienced managers like Wenger predicted dooms day, he called their bluff. He got royally fawked at the nou camp he gave excuses ("my team is developing, the other team is fully mature" why didnt he say it before the game?

2)No team has won what league loosing just 2 games? seriously? go and check barca's 2009 season and 2010 season. They lost just a game!

truth be told pep has nothing to prove against Mou. No manager has screwed him over more than pep. he beat Mou 5-0, 2-0, drew 1-1 (twice) and lost once after playing like chelsea (even the madrid prez and fatefuls criticized him for playing like a chicken-playing 3 defensive midfielders and kicking the barca players everywhere)

The following season Pep dished him out an exhilarating 5-4 victory (despite having his major players unfit), beat him 3-1 at the bernabeau when madrid was supposedly on a high, then proved it wasnt a fluke by dishing it to him again 2-1 in the CDR. In that match (at Bernabeau) Madrid where contained at a half field and 3 of their players should have been sent off. Please take note that everybody claimed madrid only needed to score first and that they would beat Barca- 2 times they did yet they still lost.

Mous angst is that he wasnt given the Barca Job even after he begged for it kneeling. He felt he would tell them they made a mistake for not signing him but Pep steps in and does an excellent Job. 13 trophies out of a possible 16. I dont even know what the fuss is about having back to back semi final exits. Barca in the last 5 seasons have either won it or have exited from the semi final stage yet they make little jabs of it.

If people feel anybody couldve done a good with the current ensamble of Barca players they should ask themselves why Rijkaard couldnt do it. Afterall xavi, Iniesta and messi where all part of that Barca. i tell you a truth these barca would trash Rijkaards own 5-0 too.

People should be circumspect about saying the tenure is over (word to Mou and his egomaniachial protege) Fergie went 3 seasons winning the league at the EPL then Wenger peeps him and people make similar assertions. what ensues? United win 03,07,08,09, (they finish a pt behind chelsea 10, win it 11, and then have equal points with city).

ziga: Your point here is null because you refuse to even look at his point of view.

And my answer to you is that the docs were not requesting to be paid the same as UK docs. They were asking for the implementation of CONMESS, which had been previously agreed on.

Come on guys. . . Is that too much to ask? You are here talking about docs leaving their duty post. You really think it is about greed?

If you employ houseboy and you work him like a horse and you no feed or pay am appropriately, he will eventually either rob you or kill you!!!

ddippset: and that first season included a 5-0 bashing, the worst defeat of his career. And what about his second season? Tell us mr story teller. With barca having won 3 in a row, even an imbesile would win the league in his second season with multi million pound player buys.

Ranks007: I am a fan of the man at Madrid, but was he not at Madrid when Pep was beating Madrid left right and center. I put it this way, if Pep had his contract renewed instead of leaving, Mourinho would have been the one heading for the door!

He's a petty gambler, sensitive to the happenings in his environ,the absence of Pep = less contention for trophies!

naptu2:

Teachers in Lagos earn the same salary as their counterparts in the UK. Accountants in Lagos earn the same salary as accountants in the UK. A loaf of bread costs the same in the UK and Nigeria.

texazzpete: 1. Where did you hear that fresh doctors get N260k monthly? Entry level doctors in Lagos state are not even taking home 200k monthly. Even the state commissioner for health has corroborated this several times. Why are you spouting such m0r0nic lies?

2. You say most doctors have private clinics. Do you have any idea how much it costs to build a private clinic? Can YOU build a 3 bedroom bungalow in any decent area in Lagos on 200k monthly?

3. You complain about Doctors now no longer acting angelic and that they are not comparable to their counterparts in the US. Have you, in your infinite imbecility, considered how much doctors earn in the US compared to this hellhole called Nigeria? Do you expect a doctor who has to feed a family, transport himself and clothe himself to be ecstatic at work for N140k monthly? Do you have any idea on how many patients a Lagos doctor sees per day?

fluid26: True, d nysc year is indeed an abominable one. However, girls from d east aren't as promiscuous as those from the south-south, the west and middle-belt...I stand to be corrected.
