Me-ow!
Ferguson vs. Mourinho! Sir Alex vs. Jose!
Well now, this ought to be a fun final few weeks in the Premiership.
Why can't we get a nasty MLS coaching spat like this? (Paging Mr. Nowak.....)
Listen to this Mourinho parody from Ireland's Today FM:

the special one coaches like his countryman cristiano plays; with flair and drama, but occasionally it gets overdone ...

There was also a back and forth between C. Ronaldo and Mourinho. And of course, the ongoing Mourinho - Rafa Benitez spat.
Its almost comical everything that comes from Mourinho's mouth - although that WAS a penalty that Middlesborough was not awarded on the 92nd minute in last weeks game at Old Trafford.

Who needs Days of Our Lives or As the World Turns? All one has to do to find real-life soap opera is to read the sports pages (not to mention cool Soccer Insider blogs)...

The thing Americans don't get is the culture of player shelter in Europe. David Moyes didn't allow Rooney to be interviewed when he first started playing at Everton. He was a child and the English media is vicious. It's not uncommon for the managers to take front and center and talk the trash. The only thing worth interest in the latest Fergie-Mori row is that Fergie blinked. Years ago, Fergie about sent Kevin Keegan to the mad house with his constant berating as MU played catch up to Keeg's Newcastle. Keegan had his famous "I'd LUV IT!!!" moment, very similar to Howard Dean's meltdown, right before Newcastle folded. Fergie in the past has been the master of getting the piss out of his opponents. This is the first time I've seen Fergie physically effected by taunts. He's not used to it. Sure, Wenger will have some snarky comment, but Fergie usually brushes that off with a smile knowing Wenger threw pizza at him. Mori's winning this battle. He's such a little, well, monster, isn't he? I'm a Chelsea fan, mind. I love the Special One. How boring would football be without him? Thing is, Mori will get his penalties. Chelsea will get one in favor and MU will get one against.

Chelsea and Mourinho - the only things that make Manchester United seem likable

Man U = Yankees. Nothing to love there.

We could get that, (are you kidding, Ellinger, Nowak, and Arena...) but it would take a compliant sensationalistic press to get things really rolling.
Now who here could fill that role...

I wonder if Sir Alex will send The Special One back to hospital...

Are you serious? Chelsea is more like the Yankees than Man U. Both try to buy championships, the only difference is that Chelsea actually wins (the Premiership).

Actually, it's not London - Today FM is an Irish show.
If you want some newer material with the fake Morinho (this is at least a year old), subscribe to the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show podcast. It's hilarious.

I am a Chelsea fan, and Jose has done a great job since he has been with the club...but sometimes I wish "The Great One" would kindly keep his big fat gob shut.
