sir baconface said:We don't know if Mourinho was staking an interest or merely arse licking. I wouldn't rule out a third option: faux humility. The man has a wide repertoire when it comes public posturing.
All that matters to me is the rags are on their arses and out of Europe. The controversial circumstances made it even more delicious. Bacon's reactions....priceless.
They don't like it up em do they?
My question is WHY, if he thinks the position here is a possibility, would he treat us with no respect, and them with incredible respect?Ric said:One man's "class" is another man's nauseating sycophancy...
"Madrid, Barca, Bayern, these clubs have unique historic capital – the trophies, the European Cups, the history, the fans. Things you cannot buy with money"
"The best players will want to be at these clubs, the three I have mentioned and some others who have trophy cabinets full for almost a century."
"Manchester City are powerful because they have players at the highest world level,’ ‘City are a team built to win the Champions League. The objective of the investment, made year after year, is to lift the European Cup.
"But there will be difficulties for clubs that are not well structured, although they have wallets full of money.
"Clubs that live just from the investments from their owners will not have it so easy, because they do not have the structures of the historic clubs. In that way, Financial Fair Play will be good for football."

When he was getting ready to play us he was talking about how other clubs have had history and full trophy cabinets for a century: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-on-manchester-city-the-real-1310290" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/ ... al-1310290</a>

Taking the piss out of us basically. He's done the exact opposite last night and in the lead up to their game. It's a spectacle. It's the game the world wants to see. Ferguson will retire at 90. To me, there's no possible way that can be spun. He doesn't see City as a viable option or he wouldn't have behaved in the way he has both to us, and to our main rival. He talked us down, he talked them up. If he was coming here, he wouldn't do that. He might still have talked them up to show respect, but he wouldn't have talked us down.
She actually said they're split.blue underpants said:Spanish journo on talkshite now, Madrid fans and Spanish press noy happy with Mourinho, want to know why he was arse licking the rags arses and she said did he have to con duct a job interview live on air
Why didn't he open the door to City then? Why, before our matches against him, didn't he say: Manchester City are in a good position, they have a brand new stadium which can hold 48k, full every week, they have tremendous potential, they are a sleeping giant who have been awoken by wealthy owners who respect their managers? Instead, he sat there and took the piss about how we have no "historic capital". If he's opening the doors in Trafford, he's closing them here. If he wanted to come here, even if he didn't believe the words coming out of his mouth, he'd lie and would have talked us up, and said the above. He's not coming. Get over it.NipHolmes said:Imo he's opening every door he can.

And there's me thinking you're that bitchy little girl from off topic who likes sniping at me ;-)
Hypocrisy as well as incontinence, you're going for the full set here Dave. You're one of the worst on here for snidey little digs. Don't start bitching when you get a few back.
Mourinho's comments after the game were cringeworthy and if Mancini had acted like that, with his tongue between Fergies cheeks, you'd be in full attack dog mode. No one who is a fan of Mourinho and a City fan could possibly spin anything positive from his behaviour and comments tonight. He wants the rag job, he always has and tonight proved it beyond any reasonable doubt.
