Mourinho labels Wenger a 'voyeur'

I know he's a kiddie fiddler, but a voyeur too?

"I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur," said the Portuguese coach. "He likes to watch other people".

"There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea."

This is so much funnier when you read it with Mourinho's accent in mind.

I agree: a magnificently amusing piece of rhetoric.

― the boxfox, Monday, 31 October 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

it's pretty funny anyway! if i was Wenger i would just say that i have never had a stain on my tie, unlike some managers.

Mourinho is Paul Ryman to Wenger's Martin Bryce.

let's hope wenger replies.

imagine wenger, morinho and fergie in a special version of big brother. it would be the best tv ever.

some of Mourinho's best quotes here

"I like to have my cake, and yes I would like to eat it as well. We have good cake, we can both defend the cake and attack with the cake. He (Wenger) no longer has any cake to eat and so he is always talking about our cake and watching us and our cake."

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

haha that sounds like a caricature of something mourinho might say. which makes it even funnier.

that commercial he did for master card is so cringeworthy. hate it.

I think you can listen to it on the BBC website.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

The bit on the BBC is not that. He accuses Wenger of having "a love situation with Chelsea".

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

He didn't really say it about the Cake, did he?

― the pinefox, Monday, 31 October 2005 15:08 (twenty years ago)

If only.

He has a long way to go to beat Vladimir Romanov, who explained what happened with George Burley through the medium of poetry:

Don't believe what you see today
For the portrait of the day is viewed through slumbering nights.
It is only through the cobwebs of time
And through the prism of the past that the moments of today will be understood

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hit back at Jose Mourinho's comments about him - and has not ruled out taking legal action against his Chelsea counterpart. Mourinho labelled Wenger a "voyeur" and claimed he was obsessed with Chelsea.
"I find it out of order, disconnected with reality and disrespectful," revealed Wenger.
"I will see if I take any action. I don't know yet but I'll leave that door open. I don't know what I said that was malicious."

He added: "I was asked a question about Chelsea and gave my honest answer."

There he goes again - Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

Yes - he can't help it.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 1 November 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

He speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks.

Mourinho labels Wenger a 'voyeur'

Did he catch him coming out of the newsagents with Nuts or Zoo ?

This "fight" is more entertaining than the league itself.

I think mourinho is right, too.

this is fun:

Jose is rapidly becoming my second favourite manager evah. After Cloughie, obv.

Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country.

How prophetic. Yesterday they lost in Spain on All Saints Day.

Oh messieurs! Wis zis continental sophistication you are really embarrassing us neanderthal ros-bifs!

I like the way that Mourinho says that Wenger is obsessed, and yet he has a 120 dossier, which is well, a little obsessive.

yes he is undoing himself there, and i don't mean in the Anders Frisk sense.

"Oh the KGB are knocking at his door
Coz he's stolen all the money from the poor
When the Kremlin gets his number
Chelea's going under
Oh the KGB are knocking at the door"

Commiserations to a plucky loser.

Or was this another defeat which you think you won?

I have been published! Well, kind of. The Fiver (daily 'hilarious' e-mail from the Guardian football section) reported yesterday that a survey (of who?) had selected Eric Cantona as the greatest ever premiership footballer, Thierry Henry as the greatest current premiership footballer, and Jose Mourinho as the greatest *ever* premiership manager.

That's Jose Mourinho. Not Alex Ferguson, present for every season of the premiership, winner of 8 titles with a team that he took over when it was in the relegation zone, winner of the never-to-be-repeated treble, never lower than third in the 12 seasons of the premiership. Not Arsene Wenger, who took over a mid-table under-achieving Arsenal team, bought very shrewdly without a large budget, turned them into players of very attractive football, went a season unbeaten, won 3 titles. No, Jose Mourinho, self-appointed 'special one', Mr Throw-his-toys-out-the-pram at any defeat (sorry Jose, they weren't defeats, were they? you 'won', of course), cause of death threats to referees, who took over a team already in second place and with the aid of a budget of over a hundred million pounds from a dubiously-enriched sugar daddy, miraculously lifted them to first place.

I e-mailed the fiver:
"Sorry, but how the fuck can Jose Mourinho be the favourite all-time premiership manager? Firstly, he's only been here a year, and secondly, he's a cunt."

They sent it out today, rendered as:
"Re: that Barclays' survey in yesterday's Fiver. How can Jose Mourinho be the favourite all-time Premiership manager? First, he's only been here a year, and second, he's a complete [Snip! - Fiver Lawyers]"

he's better looking than both ferguson and wenger.

Nice one Teh HoBB - I had a brief correspondence with them there Fiver people after noticing that all their sign-off quotes were taken from Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura songs.
