Basically said that the only reason the Prem table is as it is = because the refs have screwed Chelsea over the course of the season.
Did it in a hilariously bitter, sarcastic way too.

EDIT: Presser looks identical.

As only he can tbh. The guy's a complete bore, not to mention a ****. Hard to believe I used to find his antics anything other than tiresome.
One of those types which is hilarious in moderation and from a distance, I suspect.

When he first came over here his style was fresh and amusing, particularly as he seemed to direct most of it at Alex Ferguson, who for me was more or less public enemy number one at the time.

Nowadays it's all just become very predictable, everyone can see what he is up to, and he's just become an extremely supercilious whingebag. Which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that large sections of the media continue to fawn over him and worship the ground he walks on.

But ergh, can't stand the bloke these days.

Whinging about refereeing is the last recourse of the ****, obvz.

Would a draw really have been that much better a result, Jose?

I hate football, I really do. Literally nothing other than an Arsenal win provides me with any real semblance of happiness. It's come to ****ing something when I was wanting City to win it and now this. Liverpool fans are already unbearable - similar sense of entitlement to Chelsea - and they've not won anything important for ages (rich coming from an Arsenal fan I know but I honestly don't think our fans are as bad). They better ****ing appreciate this title.

I don't think he directed it mostly at Ferguson, they've mostly gotten on pretty well I thought. EDIT: @ sledger

Thing with Mourinho is he does occasionally come out with some genuinely funny pronouncements but you have to put up with a lot of ****ishness as well.

Yeah, in case it wasn't clear I meant hilarious in a "hahaha good god he's a ****" sort of way, not in a genuinely funny sort of way

The funny thing is in his early days he could be pretty funny, but I can't remember the last time I laughed with him.

Might pretend to be an Argyle fan while I'm at home - outside chance of making the playoffs and Exeter going down would give me something to genuinely (pretend to) be happy about.

Hey, just think if the green slime had done the double over us, rather than vice versa, the Cornish scum would be in the play-offs and we'd be practically relegated. ho-hum

Luckily I wasn't at home for either of those games and thus not relevant for my fortnight of being an Argyle fan.

Think I'll delay taking this up until after the Hull game tomorrow.

Ah, I'm probably remembering it wrong. He definitely had a feud with someone or other I didn't like though, which is probably what I am thinking of.

Oh he always loved fergie, but he definitely went in for mind battles and the slagging of officials head-to-head with him, it was all ****ing ******** and both should have been fined heavily by the FA. Yet it didn't happen because Taggart reigned.

Thing is whilst that is true, if they should have been fined heavily then so should all the other managers. Basically every manager does it, even Pellegrini - look at his rant after the Barcelona game, and he is one of the calmer ones.

Basically just stop interviewing managers directly after the games because if you do that then a load of slagging off officials is what you are going to get, whoever it is. The ones that are worse IMO are the ones where a manager will slag off the previous referee in their Friday press conference or whatever because that's far more considered obviously.
