And Jose Mourinho lost his nerve.
And so the London Lip – the so-called ‘special one’ – José finally up and quit.
Screamed no mas in the middle of a fight (much like another Latino – some 20 odd years back).
No need to ask why – the loudmouth just chickened out – after facing the real prospect of getting spanked by a Derby county and fired by Billionaire owner Abramovich.
And why not? This is a man who, on the back of nearly a half a billion pounds investment - could only manage two premiership titles – not even the double; and of course not a final appearance at the champion’s league – a feat ‘minnows’ Liverpool have managed twice. Along the road, he insulted everyone he met, other Managers; referees and players and showed fans how not be a sportsman. He was a sore loser and he tried to hurt any player leaving his team - ask Gallas; Gudjohnsen or Robben.
I have said it one million times, Jose was not the real deal – a lucky guy who couldn’t read a game – he leaves the English game poorer than he found it and happier without him. All his high-profile purchases have been misfits (with just two exceptions – Drogba and Cech). The backbone of his team is basically the players Claudio Ranieri painstaking assembled and groomed (Lampard; Terry; Cole- Joe that is and Cudicini).
Enough said already – bye Jose – enjoy your millions – you won’t be missed except of course I will not have the satisfaction of seeing your ashen face when Arsenal whips your behind at Emirates Field of Dreams.
Well, one can’t have everything can one?
Never thought I’d admire the tribalistic, martinet Buhari – whose only achievement as head of State was to fill the gulags, execute drug dealers and jail journalists.
But to think that such a man could become the real champion of democracy – is the seventh wonder of our times.
But his tenacity, steadfastness and focus has been the highlight of this season of shame (and even as people scramble to clamber aboard Yar Adua’s gravy train) the point remains – the process by which he got in is flawed – and until the man acknowledges it – he has no more integrity than his predecessor and god father – the senile old Leprechaun of Otta.
Good work General – keep it up Soldier.
Hillary – the whole world awaits you.
And so will American voters vote with their head and elect the best qualified woman for the job – and demonstrate that they live in a truly egalitarian society.
American claims to be the home of democracy is unfounded so long they cannot find it in themselves to elect a woman President – while supposedly all-male enclaves such as Britain and Germany have gone beyond that (one won’t even mention the supposedly “paternalistic/caste-bound” Moslem/Asian countries)
Hey people –walk your talk.
Hillary it is and she will make a difference – and if you ever want to doubt a woman’s courage and resolve, just take a look at the kind of wills women are making these days.
