Mourinho tactic's just go to prove that most managers do not have a clue or are not that smart (not a dig at Guardiola btw whom I like)
The fact he looks at the game differently to most managers says more about them than him imo (not a dig at Mourinho either btw )
Agree in parts, but it's a very rare manager who combines all the facets of management so well. Technically, tactically, transfer market, man-management he has everything.
It's also alot to do with players and match-ups too, Inter match up well against Barcelona imo, I don't think they would match up as well against United for example.

It could be terminated. There's a 3 strike rule in place, so if you come up 3 times over any period then they'll remove your broadband.

Was listening to a programme about piracy, and they mentioned that upc were constantly in court over their inactions to fight, or meaningfully contribute to anti piracy ideas.

Ahh ya when the draw was made I thought Inter had a big chance due to their CB's and midfield shape (I was filling out your sheep thing and had Inter as 2nd best team in europe in the Barca question)
Barca playing Messi so central is playing into Inter's hands, makes it easier to deny him space
Transfer market im not sure of, not that im saying he is bad at it but a lot of his better players were already at Chelski and Inter owner does a lot of the buying,
so he gets credit he has yet to earn imo, that said im sure Jose has had a lot more say than any Inter manager before him
He is a lot less involved in the training ground stuff than he claims, he lays it out and other carry it out, much like Clough used to do (and Keane tries to do)
All round he is the best about at mo; just a pity he makes up stories about Ambulance drivers and refs
Fifa had a great chance to lay down a marker with diving cheating feigning injury with Rivaldo in 2002 he got hit with the ball in the knees and dropped like a shot deer holding his face no ban just a tiny fine not even a weeks wages.
The inter player was wrong to raise his hands but the barca cheat should be fined hugely and banned for say 3 games would also be nice if his club impsoed some sort of sanction but i think its never going to happen.
Have you two watched football for the last two years?
Wat??? The best team by a million miles just went out of the Champion's league. Play that game over 10 times and the result will be a bigger win that 1-0 more times than not.

The cold hard fact of all this is that "the greatest team of all time" failed to make any real chances against an ordinary Inter team. The goal was probably offside and yes the hand ball was harsh but they should have had it wrapped up well before that.
Cambiasso was a world apart tonight.

Words cannot describe how cool and what a hero Mourinho is.
The only shame is they didnt keep the cameras on him for at least five minutes after the whistle. Not a music fiend but was watching this when the full time whistle blew, get in!.[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayQkmKu_HdY&feature=related"]Florence And The Machine - Cosmic Love[/ame]

Zanetti too did very well. Lucio a rock. Mourinho, a genius.
I would also like to commend Xavi on being a fuckin cracking professional in every possible way as well.
Shook hands and walked off with his head high.

HEAD IN HANDS.
They were outplayed, out-fought, and out-thought.
They had one shot on target in 83 minutes with 85% possession.
Also you clearly haven't watched much CL this year, as Barca have been average, by their own standards. Without Xavi and Iniesta together they are not as effective. For the best side of all time, the facts are they struggled immensely against a team that has ten men for 65 minutes. You could argue that the thin line between success and failure is so small that yes they are the best team in the world but Chelsea were robbed last year, and they have been comprehensively beaten this year by Mourinho.

Do you think Inter go down to 10 men every time you play it??

Chelsea got what they deserved last year for doing the same thing in the Nou Camp last year. It was karma imo.
If you like to see the worst team get away with highway robbery then whatever but clearly the best team tonight went out by being unlucky that the bodies of inferior players just happened to get in their way.

LOL no it won't. For a start Inter won't be down to 10 men every time, that was an incredible performance by Inter and they are thoroughly deserved Finalists.

Karma? Chelsea were robbed. No ref to bail them out tonight.

Got what they deserved LOL.
If someone who's bigger, stronger, and a better fighter than you attacks you and you have a gun, you don't engage in hand to hand combat. You shoot them.
Soccer isn't all about little passes, nice flicks, and all-out attacks. Amazing performance by Inter over the two legs.
Also they scored three goals over the two legs, what more do you want. Just another mug Barca backer seething imo.

Remember when the Ravens won the Superbowl on an awesome defence. You just saw the soccer equivalent. It was an absolute defensive masterclass. I love this Barcelona team but the better team won over 2 legs.
