Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

It appears Mourinho has made some massive calls with his team for Tottenham. Big, big decisions. -Neil Ashton

I would be more impressed with this feud if Mourinho wasn't so petulant in every pre/post match interview (it doesn't really shock or matter anymore), AVB came off as very childish as well.

Although I gotta give AVB props for hitting Mourinho with the Robson stories, that really seems to piss Jose off. AVB is out there stealing Mourinho's life story as well as taking away any credif from Mourinho by bringing up Robson as influence and Mourinho can't stand it.

But they have to tone down their personal/childish/ego driven cat fight and get back to real mind games.


Mind Games

Not only that, AVB gave Guardiola the biggest shout out after winning the Europa Legaue in 2011 and he barely even mentioned Mourinho.

Indeed, it was intriguing to hear him dedicate Porto's Europa League success in Dublin that year to Guardiola, Robson and, with far less fanfare, Mourinho. "Pep was always an inspiration to me when I left Inter because of his methodology, and the way he plays such fantastic football," he explained, the pair having met earlier in the year with Villas-Boas sponging up information from the Barça coach. "His philosophy is Barça's philosophy. He defends the spectacle of the game. José introduced me to professional football, so I'd also like to dedicate this to him, and to someone who has already left us but was decisive in my career: Sir Bobby Robson. I never had the opportunity to say farewell to him, but I must thank him for everything he's done for me."

Messi dodging taxes like he's Apple. Slimy little fukker.[...].

Come on pen, you know damn well that he doesn't manage his own money. His father and councelors do.

And Atletico vs Madrid is @ 4 for you guys on the eastcoast

 

[frush11]

get out of here, the fact that AVB is getting in fights when he hasn't even made CL is pathetic

Quit your AVB hating for a minute, and be objective on this subject. AVB hasn't gotten in "fights", this thing with him and Jose is obviously personal.

So much has been made about the transfer stuff, but AVB is playing as many guys he's already had.. who didn't play much last season (Naughton/Townsend/Siggy), as actual new signings (Paulinho/Eriksen/Negredo)

Lack of man management or lack of something, I'm sure

Gross mismanagement of pre-existing assets, that's it

Great rotation policy I'd call it, learned from the best (Spanish waiter)

Except he's got to pick stronger sides for the big games, this Spurs squad is a FM prospects dream team
