Man, I still don't get all of the Jose hate.

What is it that you don't get? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Mourinho is ridiculously arrogant (FACT.) and lacks respect (FACT.) and there are people who don't like such characters thus there are people who don't like Mourinho...

dstoupou "Il rubbish" pou-poulos, I've already posted that 1 page ago.

Anyway, and I like said: Shankly and Herrera were both arrogant and hated by the rivals, Herrera even by the entire Europe, and still they were/are legends and in the restrict group of the best coaches ever.

Of course, how could I miss that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) There is no way you would have let this one go. So does he love you as much as you do or doesn't he even reply to your messages? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I never said Mourinho is not a great coach (or if I did it's just cause I don't like him as a man)... that does not make him less of an arrogant pr***.

dst, A.Madrids Aguero is a beast. He singlehandedly destroyed Barca last season (much like El Nino used to) and constantly tormented La Liga's finest

Aguero Vs Barca (skip to 1:00)

He undoubtedly is a great player. But Messi is significantly better in my view.

No doubt that Messi is a better player, but Aguero is incredibly effective and talented too

[girlie comment] Aguero is also CUTER. [/girlie comment]

Neither of them can hold a coin to Carlos "pretty boy" Tevez

After three relatively uneventful months in Italy, during which time he has transformed Internazionale into the kind of solid defensive unit that can comprehensively draw away to Sampdoria and sneak past the minnows of Catania at home, the Special One has finally found his stride in Milan and become involved in a characteristically baffling exchange of poorly translated insults and veiled threats of violence that has attracted the attention of the Italian Football Federation disciplinary committee and the ministry of the interior.

Joining the Special One in the otherwise empty room is the President of Catania FC, Pietro Lo Monaco, who responded to his jibes that he could play himself in goal for Inter and still win, by suggesting that the Special One was a "chatterbox" who should have "his teeth smashed in" - although later Lo Monaco also insisted that his "phrase was certainly not a call for physical violence, I hope that's clear." Eh?

Not to be outdone for self-contradiction, the Italian minister of the interior, Robert Maroni, intervened: "I have no right to intervene, but when a director says that a coach needs a slap in the face, I expect the Lega Calcio or the Italian Football Federation to take immediate action." Which it did, and today cited Lo Monaco for incitement for violence.

The Special One today spat out his shattered molars to say that he'd never even heard of Lo Monaco, but would respond to him nevertheless. "Monaco? I know Bayern Monaco, Monaco of Monte Carlo, the GP of Monaco ... I don't know any other. Lo Monaco has used my name to gain publicity. He should pay me."

(Instead Messi is of Italian descent!)

Can't compare both players.

It's like comparing Cristiano R. to Ibrahimovic...

Mourinho 'Disgraceful' & 'Disgusting' - Lo Monaco

The war between Jose Mourinho and Pietro Lo Monaco is now in danger of getting out of control after the Catania director launched a vicious response to the “disgraceful”, “disgusting”, “blabbermouth” Inter coach.

The war started on Saturday night following Inter’s 2-1 win over Catania when Mourinho angered and upset the Sicilians with his comments during his post-match interview.

This led to Lo Monaco slamming Mourinho’s arrogance and disrespect yesterday morning, sensationally stating: “Mourinho is simply someone who should be smacked in the mouth."

Unsurprisingly this led to a Mourinho reply yesterday evening in which he taunted Lo Monaco by saying that he had never heard of him.

"Some time ago I said that there were people who wanted to be on the first page of the newspapers by using my name and talking about me,” said ‘The Special One’.

“I have a sponsor who pays me to advertise him, and I do not give free publicity to anyone.

“As for Lo Monaco I do not know who he is. With the name Monaco I have heard of Bayern Monaco (Munich) and the Monaco GP, the Tibetan Monaco (Monk), and the Principality of Monaco.

“I have never heard of any others.”

This morning Lo Monaco has now bitten back at these taunts, and he does not hold back in his assessment of Mourinho.

“I don't think Italian football would lose anything without Mourinho,” he roared.

“Firstly, I certainly don't care about newspaper headlines. I have never looked for publicity. I just try to do the best I can with the humble funds our President can supply.

“Secondly it is disgraceful that Mourinho makes money through publicity and threw this in my face, along with the people of Catania and all the other smaller clubs, with his disgusting air of superiority and disdain.

“Last of all, I am called Lo Monaco and not just Monaco.”

The Catania director did apologise for saying that Mourinho “needs a smack in the mouth”, but not because he didn’t believe the coach deserved one, but rather because he doesn’t want to incite any more violence among football fans.

“My comment wasn't meant to incite violence and I will apologise for that if some people think it did,” he noted.

“Inter have the strongest squad in Europe, but sadly they also have the biggest blabbermouth of a coach.”

It remains to be seen what Mourinho’s response will be to these comments, but expect one very soon.

I hope the Lega punish his words. He's probably used to say that due to the fact he's sicilian... and there everything is solved by violence.

Idiot.

Both him and mourinho r idiots.

[Portman]

Both him and mourinho r idiots.

I don't think so.

Anyway, this 3 match-ban for Muntari are clearly exagerrated. 2 would be enough.

It seems when Jose says things he' arrogant and lacks respect.. while this guy is launching a personal attack on Jose and nobody cares. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

[Tennie]

The 'he's arrogant' comment that led to 'monaco who' wasn't particularly bad. The second one was and the FIGC/CONI should throw the book at him.

I don't like Mourinho one bit, don't think I ever will. but threats like that are just not acceptable or appropriate, not even against him.

In Hindi we have a proverb that rought translated means 'It takes two hands to clap!' Both of them ought to be punished. Lo Monaco probably getting the harsher sentence. Wonder how many days before Jose gets a bullet in an envelope.

We have it as something like 'you can't clap with one hand', or 'one hand can't make a sound'! but that proverb hasn't got anything to do with the Mourinho-Monaco case, at least not in our language (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Lo Monaco's comments are offensive, he should get a fine or something. And the worst thing is he's doing just what Mourinho wants. The Arrogant One loves to make people angry with his disrespectful comments and Lo Monaco is doing just that...

I think ignoring Mourinho annoys him even more than losing. So people should start doing that and he will shut up in the end.

By the way, it's easy to play it smart when you're winning comfortably but Mourinho did not say anything about what would have happened if he was playing in Júlio César's place against Panathinaikos...

Pana..were your parents big fans of Panathinaikos? Or does your name have nothing to do with the club? Do they have the same basic root word or something?
