I agree Im not sure about that Jose fella...
After all he only went 9 years unbeaten at home in his respective leagues .
I think thats astonishing...

Between 23 February 2002 and 2 April 2011, Mourinho went 150 home league matches unbeaten: 38 (W36–D2) with Porto, 60 (W46–D14) with Chelsea, 38 (W29–D9) with Internazionale and 14 (W14–D0) with Real Madrid. The run was broken by Sporting de Gijón on 2 April 2011, when they defeated Real Madrid 1–0 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in La Liga. After the match, Mourinho entered Gijón's dressing room and congratulated them. His only prior home league defeat had come when Porto lost 3–2 to Beira-Mar on 23 February 2002.

seems some people are so sensitive they cant complement another team/managers achivements nor accept criticism for their own team/managers failings.

Not once did I ever state Mourinho was a bad manager. In fact, I think you'll find I've stated plenty of times before he is a very effective manager. All I did was point out that his style suits him being a journeyman because his style of management is not designed for longevity, and thus he needs to move on after short periods to stop him being attached to the inevitable rot.

I'd say he's also got the record for number of needless two-footed knee-high flying tackles per match, season, and calendar year.

As far as refs go he seems to be the polar opposite of Charlie Adam. It feels like the thug from Stoke needs to commit 4 - 5 seriously dodgy fouls before a yellow card is shown. Poor old Mathieu is never granted that lee-way.

I love the Flamster. He was a great player for us in his first stint, and by-golly, he's had great cameos for us lately!

Just after seeing that Martin Fulop died at 32 :eek: Remember he became a bit of a cult hero for gifting us that 3-2 win against West Brom that got us into the Champions League a few years ago.

What a boon that Ozil is being rested for the Internationals.

Have a bad feeling about Alexis though, it will be the usual 100 mph no holes barred South American slug fest....fingers crossed he comes though ok.

Wenger should be on the phone to them telling them not to use him too much or not at all.
These are only friendlies.
No point complaining when the damage is done al la Ramsey.

Think the Chile games are qualifiers.

True, but Wenger just needs to learn to rest him when he's tired. I know there's the temptation to throw Alexis into every game in which we need a win hoping for some magic, but he's looked like a guy who's not had a proper holiday in a year. Watching him in person against Bayern at home his movement off the ball was like a Sunday league player. Wenger really needs to learn to just drop him once in a while and let him recharge his batteries.

Chile are playing World Cup qualifiers. They've just gone 1 up through Vidal against Columbia.

MaxPower89 · 13-11-2015 01:35AM

Just finished 1 all, full 90 for Alexis. Went down a few times but nothing too bad.

That's dedication right there! What time did the match finish? 01:20?

Wenger can't ask Chile to rest Alexis tbf

well, I don't think they are better than Ireland, just that they have a couple of individuals that could make a difference.
A draw would be great, or a 2-1 defeat at least.

There's always hope, I think we are capable of a draw, they have some individually good players but thats easier to defend against than a well oiled team.

I've backed Bosnia but we are capable of sneaking the draw. Football can throw out some surprise results I'm worried Hungry took this rounds quota last night

I see Sanogo is doing as well as he always has.

I actually thought that he'd develop past his ungainly state, but more fool me. He just doesn't seem like a footballer at all.

His confidence has to be at an all time low. Doesn't look like a footballer at all.
