mourinho just can't shut up.

mourinho's been off again, he just can't help with the constant verbal diarrhoea. this time, we supposedly have an advantage:

Although Brendan Rodgers' men are 8-1 with most bookmakers, the Portuguese thinks they have to be taken seriously because they do not have the distraction of European football.

Mourinho explained: "When I say we're not the top candidate everyone thinks 'here he is again, with what you like to call the mind games'.

"But it's just my feeling. The league is amazing but Liverpool have a big advantage because of the fact they don't play in the Champions League."



well mourinho, if you think it's so unfair, you can just withdraw Chelsea from the champions league......

The guy is a good manager and he is trying to wind people up. What annoys me is the media in this country who lap up every word he says! Even when he does not say anything funny and pauses in his sentences some of them start giggling like small school girls with a crush on their teacher. It is literally embarrassing watching it on tv.

I think the press desperately need their "Fergie figure" to adore.

I reckon Mourinho himself can't believe the way the press jump on every throwaway comment he makes.

Its hard to believe that these guys are not genuinely embarrassed to peddle this nonsense.

They must have more than 2 brain cells, surely.

This article just shows how much he gets to you! Yeah pulling out of the Champions League isn't a completely ridiculous thing to say...
Liverpool are genuine title contenders, everyone is slipping up and Liverpool are banging them in as much as City without any of the pressure. Rodgers has you punching well above your weight (squad value/depth wise), this isn't a slight at all but a recognition of the excellent football you're playing.
I think with the advantage of less fixtures and not having to prioritise competitions you certainly have a minor advantage in that you can pick the strongest team available.

CL is only a disadvantage if you're not doing well in it.

Win your games in Europe and it provides such a boost to the confidence in the squad that it more than makes up for the additional physical effort.

With his comments about Wenger, the classless is at it again.
