Jose Mourinho

[Adam456]

I still think Jose is a great bloke with the right way at looking at life (hard work etc) but unfortunately today's people (bar a few) are way too soft and self obsessed. Jose would have literally cleaned up everything in the 50s and 60s, and he got the best out of the last generation of proper players (Terry, Lampard etc)... There's just too few of those types now. It's all about social media and being pampered

You remind me of the guy from Stratford in this Guardian article who is speaking out against gentrification but inadvertently becomes one of the best adverts for it that you could possibly imagine:

'Newham in the ’70s and ’80s was a working class area and the poorest borough in London, if not the country.There was a huge amount of wasteland called The Whips, The Butts and Stratford back then was a maze of overgrown canals and scary industrial estates. There was gas and glue sniffing going on and a lot of friends died from that plus a lot of gang flights and general pecking order violence at school.

There were factories all over Stratford even 15 years ago and all that vanished. ....

....... now it’s fast becoming full of bearded hipsters who just love vinyl and coffee but lack substance as humans compared to the Cockneys that used to reside here. Dalston was a no-go area when I was young as it was pretty dangerous, as was Stratford but now it’s a place you want to avoid because it is so gentrified and so full of wealthy kids from elsewhere thinking they are in an authentic East London scene...'

Didn’t watch the game. I really don’t care anymore, and that’s sad. I’ve supported this club for over thirty years and I’ve never felt so disinterested.

Absolutely no chance I’m renewing my season ticket as it stands.

The club needs a purge, we’ve got too many weak mentalities, and poor technical players.

Levy needs to step away from the football, he runs the club like we are his own little plaything. Sick of it really. He appointed Jose and hasn’t acted to replace him when it was clear it wasn’t working.

Some great stuff in here this morning. Some genuine laugh out loud moments.

I’ve got a bad feeling we’ve got a Keane & berbatov transfer window coming up but with it being Kane this time. We haven’t reached bottom yet by a long way.

I really hope you’re wrong but as every game passes that blind optimism is getting weaker and weaker....

So, true, and the OP falls into the trap of every old fart thinking the younger generation are soft and coddled. That’s exactly what his parents would said about his one, and what their grandparents would have said about his parents’ one, and yada, yada, yada... Every generation thinks they’re something special, but it’s all a load of bollocks.

I would be amazed if we sold Kane this summer. Not because I think he wants to stay, I just think it would be such a tough deal for any buying club to do in the current climate.

We are undeniably wasting his talent right now and he must be aware of that and (one assumes) be feeling incredibly frustrated about it. Scary to think where we would be in the table without him though.

I feel similar mate just cannot believe what a combination of Jose and the poor player recruitment has led to such a poor toxic feeling amongst the fans but I think we can still turn it around with the right next manger.

We go in phases :
Santini - poor
Jol - great

Ramos - poor
Redknapp - great

AVB - poor
Poch - great

Jose - poor
... ?

miss this guy! We just need a bit of fun and positivity back into our club. Jol, Redknapp, Poch in their ways all gave us this.

While I completely agree, old people (and I am one now) are twats, I suspect you are getting sidetracked.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

How have I lost my shit? Because I have a different opinion? Because I get frustrated with being misquoted or just at silly drivel being posted about bad Chelsea man? Because I don’t just lick your arse unashamedly?

I’ll gladly take a break from this place, the atmosphere in Spurs Chat these days is just as shit as it was in the new stadium. See ya

Ranting about having had enough of this place, calling people a dick (for having an opinion), getting personal and snide, flitting from thread to thread posting angry responses all over the place and then claiming "I have an opinion" while not allowing anyone theirs without the above.

You're coming across as very angry, a troll and most of all, a great big child. So yeah, take your break, i'm sure we'll all appreciate it.

Hopefully, when you return, you'll have calmed down and adopt a more reasoned and adult tone.

The thing is that the dressing room now has more power than ever. Jose's method doesn't work. He needs to change his tact.

You would have thought he would've learnt after utd.

My biggest gripe with him, is that I cannot see what he is trying to play. The players don't look well drilled.

It's not 100% on him, the players shoulder a lot of the responsibility. However, that is Jose's job to ensure maximum performance. So, the buck stops with him.

He says "same manager, different players". If he knows that, then he has to adapt himself.

The german is in high demand...if no surprise really given his brand of football.

I ask myself...what is it that would lure him to English soil? The facilities, project...quite an undertaking to be had

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

Aarrghhh balls. He's still here then?

Money. Huge huge piles of money lol.
Dont buy into this Bayern love bollocks. Yeah, he has an attachment to the club but if Man City or another oil giant comes and offers twice the wages or more then he wont turn them down. You cant. You have to think about your family and their future children.
Money talks. Shame we haven't got any
Edit, Jose has taken it all lol. Cant see us offering same high wages to next guy.
Parker is cheap lol.

It always seems like the players are caught in this pincer movement: on the mental side they're told 'be careful, don't lose the ball, DON'T MAKE MISTAKES!' and the mentality, that fear, worms its way in. But on the physical side, they don't seem to have been given the coaching - the patterns, the automations - that offers solutions to help them avoid mistakes.

So most of them have slumped into this form of learned helplessness where they know they're going to fuck up eventually but have no idea how not to.

Can you take this generation shite elsewhere please?

Kids eh? Fks sake.
