Thank you both.

I'd rather watch Siena-Palermo than the Clasico. Now Jose's done what's never been done my interest in that league is 0.

Who cares about Mourinho (well obviously other than he himself and his fans), this game is much bigger than that arrogant piece of sh__.

Heard good things about him, but Inter almost never excelled in devoloping big talents in the past so I'm not worried.

He will play there for a few years and then we'll swap him for some mediocre player, or through a third team with a year or two apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

What Mourinho does > What Madrid and Farca do for me. I couldn't care less about either team.

[X-Offender]

And why would you care for Mourinho?

[kurtsimonw]

I think he's a fascinating person and an incredible coach. Same way I will watch a movie I don't really care for because of who directed it or who's starring in it, or a type of game I don't like that I'll play because of who made it.

[X-Offender]

Well, he is a great coach, and yes, he does have an interesting character. But if someone told me that Mourinho is a tw@t, then I wouldn't disagree with them.

Yeah he is a fascinating pr**k! Easily the worst person in sports I've ever seen.

So what is your opinion on Mourinho?

I can see why people don't like his front. I saw a great documentary on him and Fergie talked a lot on it. He basically said that what you sometimes see isn't really Mourinho and it's almost an alter ego he's invented and that everything that happens is done to create either an advantage or certain mentality to for his players.

I think people saying what they think in the game is a nice change. Ancelotti, Guardiola, etc. are such dull people. They have no character and never say anything of interest. I'll mostly turn pre/post-game interviews with them off, it's just some boring routine, like they're reading off a script.

Well that's the thing right? Don't we have enough drama queens on the pitch already? To me all this kind of provocation is totally unnecessarily. Between Suarez, Busquets and Mourinho, football has become close to a soap opera.

Ancelotti and Guardiola given excellent technical interviews. The sort of thing as a football fan I'm interested in. If people ask them stupid questions, or questions meant to elicit dramatic responses, well boo. I'd rather the reporters get educated, than my manager become entertaining interview candidates.

If I want to see entertaining press conferences I'll look up Jerry Springer on youtube. It's almost the same thing.

I don't believe that, I think very few of the things he does are meant to work in that way or can be justified that way.

I don't care what managers say in interviews, I'm not a journalist and I don't need an arrogant excuse of a man to lighten up my day.

European writer James Horncastle reports: "Football agent Mino Raiola is known as the pizza man in some circles because of his past as a restauranteur. He almost always delivers and certainly has done in this window brokering Mario Balotelli's move from Man City to AC Milan. But things don't go his way all the time. He claims the transfer of his client Pajtim Kasami from Fulham to Pescara was scuppered this evening because the wifi at the ATA Hotel in Milan where all of Italy's deadline day deals are done tripped out. Raiola was seen in a fit of rage. "There wasn't a [wifi] connection, can I not say that?" he said. The rest of his outburst is, shall we say, unprintable.

Lazio's signing of Felipe Anderson from Santos failed in extremis. The contract was supposedly deposited 4 seconds before the deadline, but it wasn't accepted.

Oh it absolutely is for that reason. The whole us vs the world mentality is exactly what he goes for, it creates a more united team.
