Mourinho at City

[Beefymcfc]

Though I don't think Jose or Mancini play "boring" football (whatever that is) I just think Jose is a better manager. Is this allowed here?

You are messing right?

You don't know what boring football is? Its when you play with three midfielders whose strengths are all defensive and your emphasis as a team is more based on not losing than on winning.

There have been plenty of examples of this throughout the whole season with City.

And it is fucking BORING.

Well, it is to me anyway.

I've got a feeling LM has no real concept of being a supporter but uses this place as more of a social site. Wasn't he/she on about 12 posts when he/she won the ticket?

He's been a regular poster since before I joined, wasn't there a problem with his forum name though? He re-registered for a while 'til it was sorted out (something to do with apostrophies or commas or whatever in forum names)

{If you were joking it just went right over my head]

No idea really, think it's a bit of nepotism 'cos I ain't sussed it out!

PS. Nice edit ;-)

Is boring football the same as negative football?

Is boring football the same as negative football?

Is negative football same as winning football; or are both exclusive?

Would love to see Mourinho manage the scum, just as we are eclipsing them. In fact, I bet that may be what'll happen. Mourinho - Mancini showdown will end similar for Mourinho like the last Barca - Real game. Put that in your pipe and smoke it

Why are people ignoring his current Madrid team when discussing him? Why can't people discuss it fairly rather than ignoring the truth in order tpo make a point?

I honestly think that Spain has gone the way of Scotland (although not as extreme). Barca- Madrid make up the entire Spanish national team except for 2 players (and those 2 players rarely start)!!

La Liga:

Barca 78 (25 wins)
Madrid 73 (23 wins)
Valencia 54 (16 wins)
Villareal 54 (16 wins)

19 point gap between 2nd-3rd place
28 point gap between 3th-20th place

Not a balanced league. For comparison:
----------------------------------------
Premier League:

Scum 63 (18 wins)
Arse 58 (17 wins)
Chelsea 54 (16 wins)
Magnificent City 53 (15 wins)

4 point gap between 2nd-3rd place
24 point gap between 3rd-20th place

Balanced League
----------------------------------------
Serie A

AC 62 (18 wins)
Inter 60 (18 wins)
Napoli 59 (18 wins)
Udinese 56 (17 wins)

1 point gap between 2nd-3rd place
33 point gap between 3rd-19th place (Bari suck moose balls)

Top heavy, but still balanced
----------------------------------------

This is why I don't give Mourinho much credit for what is happening @ Madrid

That would be a thriller. A must for insomniacs everywhere. I think I have just made a major medical breakthrough come to think of it.

I think what you say about Barca and Real imbalancing La Liga may have some truth to it.But I think if there were two teams the quality of those two in the EPL they would be running away with it.Besides those two the rest of the league is as competative as any around Europe arguably of better quality.3rd and 4th place teams in every major league are around the 14 to 16 mark in wins and bottom teams are around the same aswell.So that says to me that the 3rd and 4th place teams in La liga are as competative as any team can be expected to be in their position just Barça and Real are exceptional compared to what is around.
So for Jose to keep up with a team such as Barça which are said to be one of the best teams ever is quite a big plus for him I think.

Mourinho and RM lost at home last night so his 150 or so match run (9 years) at home is broken. Gotta say I am really glad this happened, SHOULD he become city manager at some point I would not have liked the potential media j*rk-off it would have created should he have lost at home with us...

very true Fees. Gee, what a phenomenal record.

i thought the exact same thing myself, and had been thinking that it should it be possible he might come, he may turn us down as theres a good chance he would of lost his record here. The next few weeks will be interesting, if spurs knock them out they may chop him...

For those of us that think his arrival here would be a good thing, then last nights' result was a good one no doubt
