Oh yeah, himOur assistant coach who perpetually looks as if it is his first day of school.
I know what you mean, but I want to be there with 60k others and unleash a massive F U to him in the next few weeksWith every defeat we are closer to the end of this toxicity, that’s the silver lining.
I honestly don’t know how much more I can take. Every week this guy is here making a fool of the fans, players and history I feel a little more disassociated with the club.
Please let this end soon.
Well that is just total bollocks , both he and Jose have been getting schooled every week for 17 months, josevOur assistant coach who perpetually looks as if it is his first day of school.
I’m more than certain he would have been sacked by now had we been allowed to be in the groundI know what you mean, but I want to be there with 60k others and unleash a massive F U to him in the next few weeks
We drew today.With every defeat we are closer to the end of this toxicity, that’s the silver lining.
I think Jose deserves our support. He's obviously trying the bet he can and things just aren't going the intended way. And folks likeGuido 🇺🇦 aren't helping as they've never given the support Mou deserves. This is all going exactly as planned and when it all works out some people are going to have egg on their faces. I'm still 80% behind the coach because his work thus far deserves it. This mis merely a stumbling block so folks should hold their nerve. The team can't win without our full support. We'll be laughing next season in the CL when we think back about this time.

Who gives a shit what he says. His record with us will speak volumns.If he gets sacked without winning us anything he is going to bang on about what a shit smalltime nothing club we are for the rest of his life. It's clear.
Why does he say this without being promoted;‘ “That Davinson Sanchez and Rodon were very bad?”Guy is a prick. His comments are, at best odd, but mostly horrible.
"I don't want to say indiscipline,” Mourinho added, when pushed on the absence of Alderweireld and Aurier.
“I don't want to say that. This is what it is. The players that landed in London on Wednesday after internationals and the ones that played in London – as in the case of the English boys – they had the tests and they could immediately be in training on Thursday and so Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
“And they [Alderweireld and Aurier] couldn't. They appeared only yesterday.” (btw Spurs posted pictures of Toby in training on Friday)
Alderweireld and Aurier missed Spurs’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa before the international break through illness and Mourinho stuck with the same XI against Newcastle, with young defenders Japhet Tanganga and Joe Rodon starting.
Asked if the experienced pair would have been involved had they reported to training sooner, Mourinho said: “Maybe, but I'm not saying yes and I feel a bit strange because what are you trying to say? That Davinson Sanchez and Rodon were very bad?
“If you want to say that, then you say that but I'm not going to say that. If you want to say that Serge and Toby every time they played they were phenomenal, if you want to say then you say it.
“But don't put me with questions that you want an answer to but I don't have an answer to give or at least the answer you want.”
Let's not forget he said this about Shaw:
"He [Shaw] had a good performance but it was his body with my brain," said Mourinho. "He was in front of me and I was making every decision for him.
"The communication was possible because we were very close. I was thinking for him, when to close inside, when to open, when to press the opponent, I was making every decision for him.
I posted the above quote a while ago and it was ignored, but he is literally claiming Shaw's good performance was because of his brain. Remember the context of this was that Jose was digging out Shaw at every opportunity. He plays well and Jose still feels the need to dig him out because it goes against his decision to drop him.
Fuck all just sits there looking like Regs twin
