MCFC4EVR said:I thought Pellegrini got it spot on when he said there's no such thing as mind games. He said Jose spouting nonsense because if they win the League it's all down to him and his "mind games".
But if he loses the League then it's not on him because we're the favorites and he's got a young squad in transition even though only Hazard and Oscar are young both though have loads of experience.
Out of the big four We're the only team managed by someone who's never managed in this League before but you don't hear Pellegrini mention it because he's not looking for excuses. The Spanish and Italian journos saw right through Jose but journos here lap up his nonsense without questioning his ridiculous claims.
Pretty much this, especially the bolded part.
I happen to think MP has handled Mourinho's comments very well. In-fact Mourinho's latest nonsensical ramblings were quite pathetic and had it been someone like Rafa, the press would have torn him apart.
The subtext from MP has read that he had to pipe up because what was being said was a load of old arse and that he'll no longer comment on JM as he is clearly a juvenile fool.
