The End of Mourinho?

A Robbo Robson Exclusive

Reports coming in from UEFA are suggesting that special operatives from UEFA have, following extensive and meticulous covert surveillance, found and killed Josama bin Mourinho.

Mourinho, whose whereabouts was not shared with Castillian secret intelligence for fear of a leak, was found cowering behind his pizza margherita with extra jalapenos in a hotel room not far from Las Ramblas in Barcelona’s city centre.

'Don't look at the eyes, boys, don't look at the eyes!'

He was unarmed but officers were obliged to avoid the monster’s glare and wear protective earpieces should his sultry sneers for mercy convert them instantly into Special Ambassadors for his mission.

For a long time now UEFA (Upholders of European Football Artistry) have waged a clandestine war on the one they call The Special One. He has been the Beautiful Game’s Public Enemy Number One, Football’s Most Wanted and Least Loved, a man who is the ultimate in Ends Justifying The Means.

Mourinho’s ability to escape capture has been one of the great mysteries of modern sport. He is rumoured to have traversed great distances in any number of modes, and once passed through several banks of security in a laundry basket. (Admittedly the baskets at Chelsea need to be enormous given the amount of dirty laundry they get through each week). It is said that Mourinho once travelled from London to Milan in a flight powered entirely by his own ego.

While much of the evidence of Mourinho’s misdemeanours is anecdotal at best, there are many who put down their demise to the overweaning influence of the Portuguese-born translator. Referees have felt compelled to retire, and voyeurs have fervently felt the need to defend themselves.

Members of FC Barcelona have also been victimised. Sergio Busquets has been so manipulated by Jose’s Special Forces that he seems to feel every scratch, tug and nudge by an opposition player through his face. It is thought that this condition has led to cerebral damage that may have turned him into a racist shit. (Certainly Emmanuel Adebayor, a Mourinho aide, seemed to think so when he was sent on an assassin’s mission last night. Personally I was on his side although having said that, it’s not as if the Madrilenos aren’t averse to the odd monkey chant when it suits them.)

Then there’s Javier Mascherano, a fearsome man renowned for his power and malice that a Mourinho operative reduced to the role of writhing soap queen yesterday evening. Rumours are that the Masch spent the evening on Monserrat Caballe’s washing line though he rejects the idea that he is that big a girl’s blouse.

Mourinho has maintained that the Catalan capacity for fakery is not of his making. Indeed sources at Real Madrid are said to be pushing for an investigation into the whole structure of FC Barcelona. They have recommended that a special commission be headed up by Lord Scarman in the full expectation that he will find the Masters of Magical Footy guilty of ‘institutional simulation’.

While few share Moaninho’s beliefs, he has insisted that his failure to win every European competition he has ever entered is down to a conspiracy. When UEFA has been unable to defeat him, they have invented victories from goals of a paranormal nature, made members of his crack squad ‘disappear’ early in proceedings to face the water torture of the ‘early bath’ or forced him to squeeze into uncomfortable corners from whence he has had to communicate in more inventive ways.

Even then, UEFA have been powerless to prevent him from using such cutting-edge technology as the I-pad, the mobile telephone and even, fiendishly, a notepad and pen.

There are some mainstream sympathisers with the arch criminal’s view that diving divas need to be punished. If UEFA really wanted to deal with this they could view video evidence and start suspending the pimping plungers here and now. To the average man in the street – and I’m nothing if not that – it seems such an obvious and fair policy that even Nick Clegg would have difficulty reneging on it.

Central to the mission to destroy Mourinho has of course been the match they call El Crappico. El Naffico is a long-held tribal dispute somewhere in the fictional confederacy of states known as ‘Spain’. It is Moronho’s belief that the forces of evil are reined to the cause of the Catalans.

In particular he has sought to blame the organisation known as Unicef, which as everyone now knows, stands for the Unfeasibly Naughty Institute for Cheating Embryonic Footballers. There is circumstantial evidence that for years now Barcelona has been flooding its training camps with tiny schoolboys who for the first year are trained in dodgy play-acting and the second year learn how to do a triple twist with pike and tuck. Even the stadium’s name ‘Nou Camp’ translates as the ‘New Theatrical’.

Mourinho attempts to lure a young boy away from the Camp Nou

Of course Maureenio’s contempt for Barca may also derive from the first time he ever translated Bobby Robson at the Nou Camp. (And, bless Sir Bob, but it’d been nice if Jose had worked as a translator for the old fella when he was England gaffer too.)

Whatever the source of his malice and menace there seems to be little international outcry at Jose’s demise. UEFA have however been unforthcoming with photographic evidence of the end of the Special One and counter-conspiracy theorists are even now suggesting that the dark lord will rise again. Indeed to my certain knowledge he’s been seen driving a cab in Stockton-on-Tees.

In the meantime Barcelona officials have distanced themselves from exuberant celebrations on the streets of Barcelona. They have insisted that allegations of improper conduct by their representatives are completely unfounded and - well, it’s thought unlikely that we will witness any more third-rate Hollyoaks style tizzy fits from them in the final. Especially if Scholes plays as the Ginger Ninja always leaves plenty of evidence on the thigh of an opponent to make play-acting unnecessary.

Me? Were it not for Messi and Iniesta (another serial diver, mind) I wouldn’t care too much for Barca at the mo. Still they’ll be up against United. And they’ll beat ‘em. As for the Moochinho? Beware the second coming.

  6. I don't often admit this (especially to Mr BHB)
    I may have been wrong yesterday when I said things don't get much better than the sun shining, VB available in Tescos, me & Jose in a holding cell but ...

    now a whole blog devoted to The Special One (with photos) - all I need now is for Schalke to thrash Manpoo tonight, us to beat them on Sunday and possibly a very large win on the lottery would complete my happiness

  8. I couldn't have said it better myself Keegan. I'd love it, love it if Chelsea beat them.

    Cracking blog Robbo. It's weird how people's perceptions of Barcelona are gradually changing. For the last few seasons they've been the footie version of Lucy Pinder - very easy on the eye. But there's a certain je ne sais quoi that seems to be creeping out of the Nou Camp that has started getting up people's noses, and they've become very Gail Platt - very hard on the gag reflex.

    Come on Schalke!

  12. Nice one Robbo.
    Im getting pretty sick of all this Arselona love in and its about time there was a backlash. Being Leeds i have to hate ManUre, obviously, but id still rather see the Puce saggy scrotum faced Taggart lift the Chumps League trophy than that lot from Spain

    ReplyDelete
  13. Haha, nice blog Robbo.
    Moaninho is to be blamed for Josama's downfall. Sad really.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm sorry but every time Mourinho goes out of a competition a hissy fit ensues. Whilst I do think he is great entertainment value and a great manager, the one thing he cannot handle is that Barca are a better side than any side he has managed. They may fall over, but so does his star man Ronaldo as does Di Maria. The fact is diving is aproblem in Spain, Real dive as do Barca, only Barca are a brilliant football team when they need to be as well.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Good stuff Robbo, another instant classic.

    ReplyDelete
  16. There was a time not so long ago when the sight of Barca dismantling other so called "teams" at will was a delight to behold, but The Special One has reminded us, and rightly so, that football is supposedly a contact sport. Barca's demeaning reaction to being kicked up in the air is not to simply play the oafs off the park (Messi aside), but to fall over before they've even been touched. It's got to the stage now where, I'd love it, love it, if Vidic, Pauly Pauly Scholes, etc would kick a few of them over-tanned jessies up in the air before their inevitable sendings off.
    Utd to lose the final 3-0 and end up with 9 men. What odds could I get on that? Barca hoist the cup aloft to a resounding chorus of boos, me included, and I'm not even a Utd fan.
    Ah, feel better now - back to work....

    ---

    That's the whole problem Luke. If they're so great then why the need to cheat? The "gamesmanship" is just terrible to watch. Masscherano, Busquets and Pedro should be sanctioned and Dani Alves needs to be chopped up into little pieces and fed to performing dolphins whose rolling and diving around actually has some entertainment value.

    theres something very boring about perfection, aint there? who wants to watch someone playing on a Playstation?

    OK, I exaggerate, but being long enough in the tooth to remember the 70s, when the likes of Best, Marsh, McKenzie, etc had to use skill to get past the likes of Hunter, Cooper...erm most of Leeds Utd actually, Smith etc, occasionally failing and being felled by literally bone crunching tackles, and never rolling about like fairies with no centre of gravity was far more entertaining imo. Reminds me of the Coliseum....

  29. Poo sandwich or warm piss - which is Man Utd perchance?

  30. Defietly Poo Sandwich, because their fans are so full of shit.

  31. And the Barca players were definetly extracting the urine with all their playacting over the two legs, more then enough to fill a glass I'd say.

  43. watched Stewart lee do a 30 min routine on crisps except it was really about a giant moth

    I live on crisps or I don't but I would if I didn't know it would kill me. The life giving properties of salt and vinegar would be countermanded by the debilitating effects of cheese and onion

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have to admit to being partial to crisps myself Blog, any flavours. They are a bit differentr to how I remember them when I lived there. A packet of Smith's Chips would contain a small bag of salt. which gave you the option of two flavours, plain or salted.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Don't get me started on crisps - my life was settled with the British colour codes for bags. Cheese and Onion are blue, salt and vinegar and green, my favourite prawn cocktail are pink, etc.

    But not these Aussies. Oh no, imagine my disgust when I stocked up on pink packeted crisps only to discover they were salt and vinegar. Luckily I'm quite partial to them also, but I made a similar mistake next time I went to the shop and got some green ones, only to discover they were babrbecue. What's that all about?

    ReplyDelete
  46. You can still get them Bo, little blue packet of consumer choice delight...usually. Every now and again you'll get a bag without the salt packet in and you'll empty all the crisps on the floor looking for it and smash them all into the carpet in outrage thatthe food processing industry IN THIS DAY AND AGE still can't reliably guarantee a process to introduce small blue bags of salt inside a larger bag if unsalted crisps.

    Noel I know what you mean mate. Green is the internationally recognised colour for s&v until about 10 yrs ago smiths consistently broke ranks - their s&v was blue, their c&o green. This earned them a reputation SS the perverted deviants of the crisp manufacturing world already hinted at by their occasional random omission if salt from their salt and shake crisps do they went bust or got bought out by walkers - a far inferior crisp IMHO.

    Kettle crisps are so delicious I darent buy them.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oooh. Kettle chips. Cracked black pepper and sea salt, or sea salt and balsamic vinegar. A whole bag, washed down with a cool, crisp lager, and I'd be happy. Simple things for simple minds.

    Possibly the biggest problem with living in the Falklands is that food is normally close to, or out of date. Nothing is worse than buying a bag of crisps only to discover that they're out of date and are soggy or chewy.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Kettle are without doubt the kings of crisps. Any flavours once again, although I think I like the chilli ones best.

    I agree Noel, they have to be crisp.

    ReplyDelete
  49. there was a time when that little blue packet wasn't a packet, it didn't have the heat sealed edges of the form fill seal process, it was a little blue piece of paper folded around the salt, folded I tell you, by the skilled and trained digits of a real British crisp factory worker with a white hair net and a fag hanging from her gob.

    ReplyDelete
  50. thats my nan youre talking about there, trott, she used to eat her own body weight in crisps every 3 days, or she would have done if she worked in a crisp factory. she didnt. she used to make them at home in a crofter's cottage with no running water but a good supply of home-grown spuds. her crisps were famous, you either loved them or hated them. when times were hard she used to shave the hard skin off the bottom of my uncles feet to bulk out the contents of the packets. and that little blue twiz was filled with cocaine during the great Salt Shortages of the 1950s. her crisps tasted revolting but sold well for some reason. ah them were the days, they werent its not real, unfortunately she spent the last 15 years of her life as a Crisp Baron in holloway prison as no-one believed her alibi.

    ReplyDelete
  51. as I took that little stroll along memory lane Blog, I did ponder what part your Nan might have played in the history of the crisp. Now it all makes sense. I suppose she missed the end of the potato famine? Did she by any chance get deported to Holland upon her release?

  54. my nan caused the potato famine, trott by turning the countrys entire potato crop into crisps with experimental flavours like peat and onion and garlic and guinness and no one would eat them. all the country's salt and vinegar crisps were taken out of the country under armed guard for the enjoyment of english absentee landlords (lachrymose feminist slaphead songstress sinead oconnor told me that)

  108. Well done to QPR and their manager, even tho Colin Wanker lived upto his name when he played for the Millers

    Another charcter to replace Ollie perhaps

  109. Ouch!!!!

    That was a terrible tackle from Adam on Bale.

  110. Not even a card?!?!?!?!

    The FA need to sort this shit out.

  111. Tittin hell Tangerines those 3 points could'a kept us up.

    I heard that tackle on Bale was bad H2H, the radio commentators said the ref was wrong side of player to see it properly and they reckon it's a serious injury too.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Well, Robbie Savage goes out in style. Shakespearian style anyway. I, for one (maybe the only one), will miss him. He was never a great footballer but he made the best of what he had. He gave his all every match, which is a lot more than can be said for many of the prima donna's that grace the football field today.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Oh Tottenham. Tottenham, Tottenham, Tottenham. What's the matter with you? Everton do us a massive favour, and we do what we do best - nothing. We badly need a top striker. We badly need a keeper who is less prone to howlers. And something seems to be wrong behind the scenes at the moment. I think we need the end of the season to arrive fast, then let the players and staff take a break from it all. I think they need it.

    And in other news, come on Chelsea!!! Huge game tonight. Whoever wins, I think will win the title. A draw would be a shite result.

    ReplyDelete
  114. That was a really bad tackle H2. Adam was so late with it, you have to wonder if he meant to injure Bale.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I'm amazed that he's made it this far into the season without being kicked off the pitch Bo. Hopefully this incident will go some way to changing 'Arry's mind about trying to buy Adam in the summer. We don't need him.

    ReplyDelete
  116. What is it with Spurs players being taken out by horrific tackles and the offenders getting jack shit done to them for it? Adam's tackle was every bit as bad as Flamini's was the other month.

  118. Star, when anyone complains about it they are told to take it like a man... if you want to take thuggery out of football you need to get rid of the thugs.

    It's about time Wenger admitted we have a problem in defence. It's like being an alcoholic, if you don't admit to having a problem you wont be able to fix it.

    Wilshire's hot headedness is going to end up causing him problems. His tackles at time border on maniacal. How he wasn't booked early in the match I'll never know.

  119. Not sure about that link Blog... bugger all about SAF or Pep Guardiola there.

  120. Aye, easy for them to say though Bo, that is until they get their legs broken by such a piss poor tackle.

    -----------------
    A few fair comments. But I think comparison of 2 teams from diff leagues in not justified. I'd compare our performance to that of Man U's this season and it is very clear that our home form let us down this season.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Arsenal > Dortmund. Everytime.

    Yes Dortmund are worthy champions of Germany but they'd struggle to finish 4th in England. Arsenal played almost twice as many matches in double the competitions and sure they won nadda because they did not deserve to win anything but they did deserve to get close to it, which they did.

    Bayern suffered because most of their squad was involved heavily in the WC and Dortmund won the league because their keeper + central defenders were more consistent over the season.

    Coincidently, thats exactly what got United the League this season.

    If there was one man who could claim to ManU's 19th title, its Edwin van der Saar.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Blimey, where is everyone?

    At least I have had an excuse as my keyboard as been waterlogged due to excess drool since this blog has been up.

    how good has he been this year! If only we (Arsenal) had him in goal, we could have won it,
    (mind you we could have won it at a canter if we did a proper switch and ManPoo had one of our keepers in goal) :D

  144. the tragedy in all this is that if Bolton had all Man U players, manager, coaching staff and tea lady, we'd probably have won the leage and made it to the CL final this year.

    ReplyDelete
  148. As for Stoke v Arse, well, where do I start?

    Stoke aren't, and under Pubis probably never will be, a great footballing team, but fair play to them, what they do they do well, especially at home where their record speaks for itself.

    Once again Arsenal failed miserably and some of the players showed the "mental strength" of a retarded sheep who came bottom of his class (in special sheep school) Stoke just sat back and hit us on the set piece. To make things worse Stoke didn't even have to break a sweat, everytime one of our slappy tappy moves came to an end they just gave us the ball back confident in the knowledge that we had the penetration prowess of an impotent ant trying to have his way with a hippopotomus with a gynormous minge, it really wasn't worth the "effort".
    Their first goal was typical of our whole season. They got a free kick after being nowhere near our goal for the rest of the game, a cross came in and Jones was left unmarked to turn the ball into the net via his scrotum. We got a little bit unlucky with the second, but once we gave ourselves a lifeline the third went in and it was vintage Arsenal defending and too embarassing to really speak about.

    Wenger made some baffling changes at HT bringing on Bendy, who once again was shoved out on the left (I know he's not everybodys cup of tea, but he's always being played out of position) and Chamakh, who showed why he has fallen down the striker pecking order with a dismal performance. (WTF was that stepover about?)
    Young Jack was lucky to be on the field at the end of the game, that was the kind of blind lunge that I (and most Arsenal fans) moan about, it was not good to see and he needs to stamp that out of his game sharpish.

    During the game the commentator on Dutch tv, said something along the lines of; "If the home crowd put as much effort into supporting their team as they did aiming vile chants at the opposing mamager and booing of players (esp Ramsey) then their ground would have a great atmospere".
    To sum up, well done Stoke you deserved your win, shame that your supporters are such a rabble of knuckle dragging Neandramongs.

    bhb - man city just need to give balotelli a real gun instead of his air pistol...

    The Mysterious Case of the Porsche and the Misplaced Brains.

    The rain sodden Manunian streets were dark with something more than the night. Balotelli scratched his head and wondered where he'd left his brain. Homesick, he had tried to blow his own brains out but the pellet of his low powered .22 Daisy air gun, which looked to all the world like a Kalashnikov, passed through his ear and out the other hitting an apprentice. Then he remembered having taken his brain out, for safe keeping. Where had he put it?

    (SPOILER : It turns up in the ashtray of Jermaine Pennants porsche. Unfortunately Jermaine's own brain was in the "glove" or "brain" compartment and he forgot where he had parked it; in fact he forgot that he owned the car at at all.)

  169. Manchester United will not receive the Premier League trophy should they win the title this weekend.

    United need only one point from their final two games of the season to secure a record 19th league crown.

    The first of those matches is at Blackburn on Saturday, which ends just before the FA Cup final between Stoke and Manchester City starts at Wembley.

    BBC Sport understands that whatever the results this weekend, the trophy will be presented at the final game.

    Who is Torres blogs? Who needs torres when you have maxi eh? Not so many people now getting on our backs for believing in false messiahs now are there? With the team playing the way they are, and NESV ready to bankroll a few more transfers and Spurs hopefully overtaking us for the Europa spot, we are in with a good shot of getting a CL spot back next season.

    Still undecided about the Europa league spot. It obviously is the shittiest trophy to win, but just getting to 5th from where we were in december has got be a big confidence booster for the team.

    ReplyDelete
  180. Try telling Biringham or Stoke fans that the Europa league isn't worth the bother, the extra revenue from gates and tv alone makes it worthwhile, plus participatation means players will more likely want to join your club with the promiss of European football. I'm not saying that Spurs are going to do a Leeds, but failure to qualify for Europe next term will hit them hard, purse strings will be tightened and squad will be trimmed.
