You're giving him the benefit of the doubt as he stated it in terms in which you could consider he was being either anti UEFA and anti decision whereas its being portrayed on SKY as exactly what I suspect which is that weve been fined so we must be guilty. His previous musings on the subject of our charge heavily intimate he meant the latter.

I caught an extract of the Mourinho interview.

The way it had been edited.

It sounded like he was saying we should have been fucked over either way.

see what you can do with a bit of creative editing.

I couldn't understand what he was referring to.

I just presumed he was another clueless fucker with a burning Pitch Fork.

We need a body language expert. Calling @ricky77 ;-)

and @SebastianBlue

Here we go. Obviously a lot of creative interpretation in that, not denying that.

But He knew what he was doing though, and how it would echo round when he said it, without needing to put hinself on the line for saying it. He deserves credit fir that, it is a skill.

I dare bet other papers will run with a similar take on it.

As I said, the outlets were always going to interpret this way.

He could have said “I think City deserve this!” and the media would have reported “Mourinho says City deserve to be called cheats and a ‘grubby club’!”

I am sure many will find a way to twist Arteta’s very supportive comments to be a passive-aggressive takedown of his former boss. ;-)

I hate Jose Mourinho with a passion, attention seeking c*nt. Could have just said he doesn't have any comments. Just feeding crumbs to the media to have a go at us again. Can't wait to see him get sacked for the 100th time.

Not denying for a second churnalists would have looked for that angle. What i'm claiming is he 100% gave it to them. Without seeming to do so. Watching that video, nothing can convince me he didn't mean to do exactly that, and insinuate it, enough to make it stick.

 

[SebastianBlue]

What it boils down to is that we've been found "not guilty" of murder, but the court fined us £50 for being rude to a policeman who was trying to fit us up.

Take a bow, son.

In the exact same way Pep didn't actually 'demand an apology' from other clubs, in his statement. Except that he did. Without saying those words.

Fair enough. I think we agree he could have been meaning to do it, we just disagree on whether he actually consciously meant to do so, and I don’t think we’ll ever really know.

At least, not until he finally becomes unemployable after a truly catastrophic rant alienating him from the football community at-large and he releases his tell-all ghost-written memoir entitled “The Special One: The Story of the Greatest Manager of All-Time and the Bastards That Kept Him Down”.
