Chelsea v Liverpool Champions League Preview: It's Almost Over
By chris | April 30th, 2008Chelsea 1 - Liverpool 1 If you don't know how the score got that way you must've been in a coma for the last ten days. Either that or you're a part of the Riise family and still in denial. The first leg wasn't historically terrible, but it cer ...
Jose & Friends Prove It's All About The Children
By chris | April 23rd, 2008Admit it, when Jose said "I'm Jose Mourinho and I'm...." you thought he was going to say "I'm fantastic", didn't you? How Adidas missed this opportunity we'll never know. They got a big fat softball lob and they whiffed. In the advert we saw ...
Wayne's On Setanta Sports: Pronunciation Issues

By chris | March 31st, 2008It was a busy end to the week for you if you're constantly scouring the tabloids for all things José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho (out of all those names he clearly should've gone with Felix). It appears Setanta Sports isn't going to be enough ...
Inter Info: 3/26/08
By robert | March 26th, 2008What's up my dawgs? I haven't seen some calcio in a while now, and I'm sort of feening for some. Thankfully, there's a nice lineup of International friendlies to keep myself occupied until this weekend. The U.S. game just started, so I'm going to be ...
Inter Info: 3/12/08 "My Luck Is Shit"
By robert | March 12th, 2008What's up my dawgs? We lost yesterday. So what? Our coach is an egotistical asshole who plays Vieira on the wing. So what? It's another year of European disaster. So what? I know I came out a little strong yesterday, making it sound like Armageddon was ab

Is The Curl Coming To The Bridge?
By Jack | March 1st, 2008Frank Rijkaard, along with his glorious locks, is coming to Chelsea. No, he's not. Oh, maybe he is. Now, not so much. The media have been all over the place this week regarding the Barcelona manager. First, a host of outlets said he was open to a mo
Managerial Merry-Go-Round in Milan
By Martha | December 11th, 2007La Gazzetta reported this morning that Inter kingpin Massimo Moratti spent some time in London last month and, while there, found time for a private meeting with one Jose Mourinho. (And this is where I sternly tell myself not to get excited.) Though the p
Capello Offered the England Job (Or Not)
By Martha | November 26th, 2007As all the other options run screaming in the other direction, the British press are increasingly behind the idea of Fabio Capello as England manager, so much so that they seem willing to overlook his most obvious drawback: He can't really speak English.

Thursday Milan Musing, Fire Carlo?
By Gianfranco | October 5th, 2007No, I do not think Carlo should be fired. Firing Carlo, and hiring someone like Jose Mourinho would be like hiring a world class chef to cook a meal with old, stale, brazilian cuisine. If the ingredients aren't all that good the product will always suck.
BREAKING NEWS

5 Reasons Kaka should be transferred
By Gianfranco | September 25th, 20071. Money: The amount cash that Real Madrid is presumably willing to spend could easily be invested in a myriad of other needs at the San Siro. Most importantly a striker, once that need has been covered then the brass can focus on defenders under 30 and
Friday Milan Musings, The Mourinho Effect
By Gianfranco | September 21st, 2007Unlike a lot of Milan tifosi, I do not Jose on the sidelines of the Rossoneri, the Nerazzuri is another strory though. With that being said I do believe that a few of the Chelsea big names could potentially make their way over to the San Siro good guys.

Beckham, Ronaldinho, Zidane to Chelsea????
By Andy | July 29th, 2007Fear not. Beckham isn't leaving LA Galaxy, Zidane isn't coming out of retirement and Ronaldinho isn't leaving Barcelona. These were players offered to Jose by owner Mr Abramovich, when Jose first joined Chelsea four years ago. In addition to Jose turni

Hey Jose, Just Sue Me Already
By Gianfranco | June 20th, 2007Channel 4 Football Italia is reporting that Chelsea and company are considering legal action against media outlets over the Shevchenko back to Milan rumors. This is a bit ridiculous; think of the repercussions. I myself am a little bit worried because I
Portuguese Transfer Market Thoughts
By Greg | June 19th, 2007Thought Bubble #1: Correct me if I'm wrong here but Porto is still in fact a part of the so-called G-14 grouping of the richest, most prestigious clubs in Europe, right? Then why aren't they a part of incoming big name transfer rumors? Why is thirty-fi

Mourinho loves to hear himself talk
By Brian | April 24th, 2007Excuses, excuses, and more excuses. It's as if he's given up on even having a chance tomorrow. Yeah, right. If he thinks his mind games will have any effect on Liverpool, he might as well give up. Let's take a look at what the 'Special One' ha
Whats Up This Week
By Andy | March 12th, 2007I am still spinning from yesterday's mega cup-tie at The Bridge and I don't think yesterday's action will be forgotten too quickly. For others I am sorry to report that there were major clashes between supporters of both clubs after the game and over
Mancini, the Latest: Going Nowhere? But That's So Boring! And Logical.
By Martha | February 26th, 2007I know the endless array of stories about Roberto Mancini's future gets tiresome after a while, but it's also sort of fun to read about all the possible iterations of the Inter managerial gig. Plus, they give me an excuse to talk about Jose Mourinho, whic
