Of Special One and Footie

The hype of football this week is of course the dismissal of the "Special One". Jose Mourinho is special in many ways, not only of his tactical superiority on the field, but also his cockiness while having press conferences. To non-Chelsea supporters, he is the "Arrogant One".










The former "Special One", now the "Dismissed Through Mutual Consent One"

Off the pitch, his brawl with owner Roman had already hinted his fate. Though with talent, politics still played an important role on his departure, added by the excuse of the recent "disappointing" results. And now, Chelsea will be under the vulture-face unknown and uncredited Avram Grant, who lost to Man U on his first charge of the game. Predictable anyway, given that the they lost their Special One. Jose must be laughing his ass out on his heir.

Elsewhere, Liverpool show that their same old demeanor, with yet another boring draw. Somehow they think that they can claim glory by keeping their goal clean, instead of winning the game. Arsenal made their priorities right, with five goals overpowering doomed Derby, and adding the icing above their cake, their players are so young that their average age is well below 25, with the oldest player aging only 27, on that particular day. And I know that my cousin brother is smiling all the way.















Young and talented.

Abroad, Barcelona show why they are a talented bunch with victories over Lyon and Sevilla. Arch rival Real Madrid looses tempo with draw over promoted Valladolid. In Italy, all is peaceful as draws are the results for the top-teams.

Lastly, a farewell, once again, to Jose. Will miss your exaggerated quotes.
