Cheatski are still scum

I liked the team with Duff and Robben.

Thinking about Revie, the players on his teams do get remembered for their cynical play, when many of them were also talented players. I realise this may sound contradictory, but for all the dominance of Revie's Leeds over a long period, they didn't actually win very much (lots of almosts). With Mourinho he tends to deliver.

I suspect Mourinho will get more unpopular and be remembered less fondly that he is now. When he came to England he was just as cynical, but he was also witty in his press conferences. He got a lot of journalists on-side. Even his blatant cheating of a UEFA ban was treated as a bit of a laugh. But he has changed. There is none of that earlier wit and charm. He comes over as bitter and nasty. His cynicism in manipulating referees and cheating on the field is becoming more blatant. This will be remembered when the entertaining side of his earlier self is forgotten.

Not really, no.

That sounds like when ugly people say "There's many different kinds of beauty."

Not sure I kind of agree with DTA that the are different types of intelligence. I have a sister who works for the CPS as a qualified solicitor, fluent in 3 languages. She told me the other day when we driving down from London to the south coast, as we were driving through crawley, she said that "in 100 years time when were 50 thanks to global warming the sea will be up to here"

A highly intelligent woman by all accounts but also the dumbest biitch I have ever met.

im not really sure that he is any more intelligent than his peers (in any capacity). hes certainly more arrogant however. what has mourinho ever said or done that makes you think he is genuinely any more intelligent than other elite managers?

imo, mourinho is a relatively intelligent guy who likes to boast about himself and his "intelligence" (indirectly), and for some reason people seem to lap this up. Pellegrini, Wenger, Ferguson etc seem to be just as sharp as mourinho to me (if not more), but they just dont have the trait of wanting to tell everyone about it.

having said this, i realise that he may just be so much more intelligent than me, that i cant even see it, however my ego would like to think this is not the case :)

I don't think he is any more intelligent than the handful at the top of their game. That still leaves him as significantly more intelligent than the vast majority of football managers - especially in this country.
 
Chelsea have stepped up their attacks on referees by claiming they have been awarded an "abnormally low" number of penalties in the Premier League this season.

The Blues have had just two penalties in 28 league games so far - compared to five spot kicks in just eight Champions League matches.

In an article on the club's official website, titled Penalty Puzzle, Chelsea compare the number awarded to them during the past six seasons

The two penalties given to Jose Mourinho's men this campaign both came in home derbies - against Arsenal and QPR - and the club highlights that the most recent of those was four and a half months ago.

"Historically, this figure seems abnormally low," the club says.

The website lists the number of Premier League penalties given to Chelsea, season by season - seven in 2013/14, 11 in 2012/13, five in 2011/12, eight in 2010/11, and 12 in 2009/10.

The article continues: "So this season’s tally of two unquestionably bucks the recent trend yet our position as clear league leaders and second-highest scorers suggests we can’t be labelled anything other than an attacking side, spending plenty of time in the opposition box.

"Our two closest challengers in the Premier League this season, Emirates Marketing Project and Arsenal, have both been awarded seven penalties – the most in the division. City have only scored one goal more than Chelsea and Arsenal two less.

"Last term, the two teams that finished above us in the league – Emirates Marketing Project and Liverpool – were awarded more penalties than any other team bar us.

"Of course, it could be that when teams have played the league leaders they have been particularly careful inside their own area. We all have plenty of recollections suggesting this is not the case however.

"From the first half of our very first league game, at Burnley, a number of key penalty-box decisions have not gone our way, Diego Costa the victim that evening after being felled trying to round the keeper."

The website stokes the controversy following Mourinho's recent outbursts and comes after defender Branislav Ivanovic had a penalty claim refused in the weekend's 1-1 draw with Southampton.

Mourinho has been outspoken against referees all season, first suggesting in December that there was a "campaign" against his team.

That claim eventually led to a £25,000 fine and warning for the Blues boss from the FA, although it accepted his defence that he had been talking of a media campaign rather than one by referees.

But on Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday show last month, he went on the attack again, claiming referee Martin Atkinson had wrongly turned down two penalty appeals in Chelsea's match against Burnley the day before and had twice failed to issue the red card to Clarets striker Ashley Barnes.

He lambasted Barnes for the challenge on Nemanja Matic which led to the Serbia midfielder being sent off for his reaction.

He added that referees in general “are not doing well” as he called for the introduction of more technology to assist them.

And Mourinho claimed Chelsea had only one controversial decision in their favour this season, in contrast to all his perceived injustices against them

One? The fudging prick. Costa gets away with one every match.

FA should throw the book at Chelsea for this nonsense.

Be interesting to see how much time they spend in their opponent's area under the special one.

I remember a BBC More or Less episode where they analysed the Man Utd penalty myth and it was almost entirely down to the fact that at Old Trafford, Utd spend a lot of time in the opponent's area.

Chelsea, I suspect, spend a lot of time either without the ball or on the break. Very unlikely that their defensive style would lead to many penalties.
 
Intelligent or not, below is a list of all the young players Jose has developed throughout his managerial career:

Quite an impressive list!
