In the in interview I heard on sports report he said Stoke stopped chelsea from playing in the 2nd half with fouls and slowing the game down. He called them intelligent tactics. Apart from his sad monotone he was actually admitting that stokes tactics won the game. He thought chelsea played beautiful football in the first half but that stoke allowed them to. He was upset they hadn't taken greater advantage of that in the first half.
Does his view that the two halves were different differ from many views on this board. At no time did he say chelsea played badly. Stokes tactucs were the difference.
I would take his comments as a compliment

To his credit, he did give Assaidi a pat on the back after he scored the winner. Gave him a pat on the back then a shove as if to say stop time wasting, no credit where it's not due !  |

Best thing about this picture..... look at the passion on Tommy's face , even though he doesn't get a look in he is still buzzing. |

There's few better things to do in football than to really, really, piss Mourinho off.

That, sir, is the single most fantastic picture posted on here in "recent" times. I would love it, just absolutely love it, if it could be made desktop background size'ish - especially after "uno specialismo's" sad and self-mollifying performance in the post-match interview. Very good of him, though, to praise the Brit support. Tell you what - the Portuguese skinhead won't forget SCFC and its Stokies in a hurry. Never lost in the Prem in December! You have now sonny! |

He actually clapped assaidis goal so he can't be that bad a sport To be fair, he was right in the interview to some extent - they should have killed us off before half-time, and we did get in their faces second-half and broke the game up. And I'm very glad we did! He praised us as a "fantastic crowd". He is doing what a manager should and distracting in public from his anger at his own players. He did pat Assaidi on the back, and played along with our taunts of him. He was a lot more gracious than many who come here (Rodgers, Pardew, Wenger etc.). Glad to say he got it wrong tactically when he didn't try to use width to stretch us towards the end like everyone else does against us and instead flooded the middle with Lampard and Eto'o, where we were strong. Thanks Jose! He failed to mention the number of free kicks not awarded to Stoke however. There were 2 or 3 very late tackles / pushes on Walters in front of where we were sitting Great result |

He was fucking embarrassing to listen to. He didn't know what the hell to say, so he regurgitated the old 'Stoke anti football' bollocks. |

Erm, I seem to remember the 2003 UEFA Cup Final. Porto went 3-2 up and the players celebrated for ages to run down the clock. There was also the time during his unsuccessful period managing Real Madrid he instructed his player to get a red card to avoid suspension in the knockout stage. So he is no stranger to manipulating the rules.

He's a dick, as I've been saying for years. I was expecting more antics from him on the touchline, but he was particularly lifeless today. Odd. Not that it stopped his team acting like tools on the pitch, as they have done every time we've seen them at the Brit. That's the legacy left by his first spell. |

Can see the Russian losing patience with him before long. Jose will probably spend tomorrow strapped to a chair with a car battery wired to his knackers. |

Mourinho was rather unpleasantly trying to rewrite history, by claiming that it was Stoke who were constantly surrounding the referee and influencing the ref in an intelligent way.
I didn't see this happen once, but I did see several of the Chelsea team surrounding and haranguing the ref after our second goal.
And at 2-2 we couldn't take our centre kick; because their scum captain was still stood in our segment of the centre circle, moaning on and on. For a good half a minute or more, eleven Stoke players, 25000 fans, and a referee had to wait patiently; for the moon, the planets and the entire contents of the solar system to stop revolving around John Terry.
But don't mention that, Mourinho... you shit-spreading, preening, vainglorious Portuguese ponce.

To his credit, he did give Assaidi a pat on the back after he scored the winner. He was being sarcastic. He wanted him to put his shirt on so that the game would be restarted! . Exactly !! No pat in the back !! The pat was meant as a ' put your shirt back on so we get in with the game ASAP' certanly not as a compliment |

He's a character! The game needs them. And he ain't daft either. He'd make a good salesman -
He diliberatly clapped the goal to give him the platform to give him the hurry up. Made him look like a fair bloke. You're much more likely to hurry up for a man that just congratulated you than for a man that just bowls up and says hurry up.
...and he could have actually appreciated the strike for what it was.
But that's the character he is. Worth having in the game I reckon.

Do 'characters' invariably have to be loathsome fuckwits as well?

During the goal celebration he actually patted Assaidi's back to congratulate him.

He looks like a man who is feeling the pressure. But he's still a clever sod. His comments that they should have been 3 or 4 up at half time and that it took a midfielder to score it were aimed at the Russian. His comments that our spoiling tactics worked better than theirs were sour grapes, but when you've just been beaten by a 90th minute goal then you wouldn't expect him to sweet talk about anything... would you? His gracious comment about our fans were also a dig: at his own fans who don't know what it's like to have to work and scrap for every single point, and that's because both the players and fans of Chelsea are Big Time Charlies. He probably enjoyed going to a stadium that reminded him of what nogger is really about. Love them or hate them, thank God for characters in the game.
OS.

It makes me feel good to see a big club manager moaning about our physical approach - the last refuge of the tactically outplayed. I was beginning to worry that we were getting soft on MH's brand of tippy tappy.

I don't think he is any worse than other manager. Think his interviews are relatively entertaining compared to most, and he's not afraid to criticise his own team.
Like any pro manager he fights his corner.
