Clattenburg is a soft****.

You know you are in trouble when your best attribute as a forward is your defending.

Yet English bloggers talk about him being better than Giroud or Walcott.

They realise Walcott is also English?

Coach sacked for not picking owner to play in Barca match

"Ex-Hearts joint-manager Anatoly Korobochka has made the bizarre claim that his refusal to select the Scottish club's owner - Vladimir Romanov - for a pre-season match against Barcelona in 2007 led to his sacking at Tynecastle."

Fryer Tuck - I believe we have discussed the colourful character that is Romanov not long ago!

Not sure if its been mentioned already but...

“Real are the third of José Mourinho’s old teams [that] Rafa has coached,” she joked. “We tidy up his messes! If you think about it, of course you end up crossing paths. There are only a few world-class clubs out there.”

But Mourinho said: “The lady is a bit confused, with all respect. I’m not laughing, because her husband went to Chelsea to replace Roberto Di Matteo and he went to Real Madrid and replaced Carlo Ancelotti.

“The only club where her husband replaced me was at Inter Milan, where in six months he destroyed the best team in Europe at the time.

“And for her also to think about me and to speak about me, I think she needs to occupy her time, and if she takes care of her husband’s diet she will have less time to speak about me.”

Not pulling any punches!

 

[Magma]

can see what she meant, but the inter retort was so easy to get to really

last line pretty unnecessary.

 

[Jatz]

Bloody hell. Not sure the diet comment was needed

Chelsea fan backs Jose what a shock.

Chelsea fan backs Jose what a shock.

Everybody does it to their own on here.

But everything he said was true though

 

[Sozabarus]

Mourinho is a strange guy, I have wondered before if maybe he's a bit of a sociopath.

 

[typeclub]

Looks like Rafa's wifes trolling is at master level.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Rafa is the mastertroll. Convincing Perez he's a Real Madrid level manager. Best troll of Madrid since Carlos Queiroz.

We'll soon see, if he coaches like Van Gaal he'll be gone in 6 months

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Lol. He wishes he was half as good and successful as Van Gaal and Mourinho. His performance with Napoli was abysmal.

Lol I'm sure he is jealous of those chequebook managers

 

[Indie_]

He did quite well with Valencia and Liverpool.

Nah he has to win Eredevisie with Ajax or Portuguese league with Porto for Bojan

 

[Cooldude]

Weeell if you compare trophies won I think he is even with Van Gaal

Erendivise is not really success, even Scott McClaren won one

Both has one CL and two La Ligas, Rafa has a few UEFA/Europa Cups to his name

EDIT: Sorry Steve Mcclaren, keep mixing him up with that asswipe of an umpire

 

[pieman123]

And thats whats wrong with your club

And thats whats wrong with your club

Yeah we have standards

 

[jod23]

I thought it was a bit of banter from Rafa's missus. Jose took it pretty seriously and then got personal about Rafa's weight.

Pretty shit really.

Surely Jose could have just laughed it off. Pretty poor from him I thought.

The troll got counter-trolled, by someone's wife, must sting

Montse is great as ever

 

[glenferry23]

Mourinho doesn't mind the little cheap shot, pretty ordinary bringing his weight into it.

He was actually making a valid point prior to that. But just couldn't resist.
