Can't disagree with this. The year he won the CL with Inter (2010?), he based it around Diego Milito having a career year and he stacked the defence. Generally had Javier Zanetti playing as a second CDM.

Mou builds defences and then tries to micromanage the attack.
Spot on.

That Inter team was dynamite. Knocked out Chelsea who became English champions, and Barca, who were the reigning UCL champions and were having a crazy year as usual. Won the title again no surprise.

Many years ago now but when he won the title with Porto, my word, phenomenal. That Porto side boasted some star Portuguese however and many played in the Euros going to the final.


Mo is a genius.

Is Mourinho genuinely taking a dig at Man U or is he implying sometimes you're in the seat that wins, sometimes you're in the seat that loses. As in it goes both ways.

Barca vs Chelsea **** me what a tie. I was watching bein sports yesterday and saw this bloody ripper of a contest. There have been some good games on recently from the past, anyway, this one here is a must watch. I won't spoil it for those that haven't seen it, but there is one truly amazing world class goal in it.

It just seems almost set in stone that Barca are going to go through and maybe even romp it home. The spanish champs vs the english champs, yet this season and at the present there just is a huge gulf in class. And despite saying all of this, if not for a **** up in defence last game Chelsea would have the ascendancy. They were by far the better team last time. And with Conte, the fact that it is chelsea and their past meetings you can just never rule them out. **** they were robbed in 2008/09 vs Barca. Barca did get favoured a lot in UCL over the years. I recall in 06 Milan scored early and wrongly had a goal chalked off also in the semis at Barca.

Anyway here are some more great UCL Highlights.

Oh and almost forgot, what about that game in 2012, holy shit! Awesome.




this one here is out of this world. An all time classic in the UCL with all stars on both teams.







Alex Del Piero, now he was a bloody good player.

Gotta put these in.






Couldn't resist. I loved that Juve team when they boasted the likes of Nedved, Trez, Alex Del Piero, Zalayeta, Ibra etc. **** I loved Italian football in the 90's up until they rorted us in that world cup. Their football is bloody good. Different because they're more tactical and defensive, but **** they've had some great sides for club and country over the years. It's a shame they're not what they once were.


Look at that goal from Del Piero in the second vid. **** me.
