More Misery For Mourinho
Sunday, 4th Oct 2015 09:23

Saints piled on the misery for Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, but the Chelsea manager seem to have lost his sense of reality.

Jose Mourinho didn't just lose a game of football on Saturday, he also seemed to lose his sense of reality, sense of fair play, possibly the dressing room and the plot in general.

Of course you would expect a manager to be angry at the way his side capitulated against a team in his bloated ego of the level he sees of Southampton.

But Mourinho seemed to blame the defeat on everything other than Saints brilliant display and of course himself.

In his view the defeat was down to the incompetence of the referee who failed to give his side a penalty when Falcao went down as Stekelenburg challenged, bu what the referee spotted or at the very least suspected was that Falcao had dived.

TV replays confirmed that the official got this decision right, but that was not good enough for Mourinho in his post match interview, by then he would have seen the replays, at the very least one of his minions would have told him that the referee's decision was correct, therefore by criticising the ref in such a way and blaming him for the defeat was pure folly.

Everyone now sees Mourinho as a busted flush, a man who cannot deal with the problems his side are facing but prefers to try and pass the buck to anything other than himself.

In fact if anyone had reason to complain about the referee it would be Ronald Koeman and Saints, Virgil Van Dijk nearly had his shirt ripped off his back and Sadio Mane was brought down but the official gave neither and to rub salt in the wounds it was later proved on TV that both were stonewall penalties and that Mane had also if not been fouled, had been brought down and had not dived when he received his yellow card.

A decent man would have held his hands up and admitted that at least part of his problems were caused by a great display by Saints who forced his side into errors and fully deserved their victory.

But Mourinho is not a decent man, at least not in the eyes of anyone who is not a Chelsea supporter and to be blunt they are fans who venerate John Terry a man who makes Mourinho look nice.

No tears will be shed for Mourinho if he loses his job at Chelsea, that is clearly in his mind judging by the tirade in the post match interview, when he declared he would never resign.

I used to love Mourinho. There's no doubt he's a quality manager. Winning the CL with Porto and a below par Chelsea team proved that. I also used to find him amusing and thought he played the media with some real intelligence. Yesterday though.. He gave the whole footballing world a mindless rant and showed that he is a man teetering on the edge. 8 points from 8 games is relegation form. It won't be that bad and like Liverpool last season they'll turn it around eventually, but it does ask the question are we good enough to finish above them this year? We definitely were yesterday in the head to head.

I like Mourinho, his ego is so big that whatever the situation he always provides a rubberneck entertainment. But the man has always lacked class, making him a perfect fit for Chelsea. Needless to say, he's even more entertaining at the moment because his team are in disarray. Still, to resolve the situation they'll chuck money at it, and when his team that cost ten times more than anyone else's starts to win again he will be lauded once again as a great manager!

At least it gives Brenda some competition in the sack race.

Can Mane appeal the ridiculous yellow card ?

Mourinho might think he's the best but the way Chelsea plays is of a scared squad without any performance to the homecrowd watching games. I love the way Koeman is doing, no potty mouth just going on with his team and looking for the right reinforcements after selling the best players again. Tell me how many millions Mourinho can spend and what Koeman can and i tell you who the best manager is.

I'm not worried about Jose not mentioning us-he was just telling Abramovich he wants to clear out underperformers or he's gone. Who on earth would they replace him with? He is a proven winner.
I am more aggravated by the "pundits" doing their "What's wrong with Chelsea" rather than "What's right with Saints" act. I'm sure the True Geordie will give credit where credit is due.

Damn! Brenda's gone! Just when he was ruining that team so well! I'm going to go have a good cry....
