I'll be the one to admit it, I wouldn't care at all if it were anyone other than Eva.

I think she's definitely the main reason this is a big deal, but Pep having a go at Bayern's medical director recently was a very big story as well. In that instance, Bayern had very, very well publicized issues with injuries though so one could argue the complaints were justified despite the ugly manner he went about it.
In Mourinho's case, he really has no leg to stand on given Chelsea's lack of injuries is what won them the title last year quite arguably and in this case, the medical team had absolutely zero choice but to attend the player.

Lack of injuries had little to do with it especially given how we had injuries to the likes of Costa and Remy on a fairly regular basis which were big problems. We were head and shoulders above everyone else in in every department, theres nothing more to it than that.
Reading around it seems this is the straw that broke the camels back, hes been complaining about the medical team for a while, just because we have a lack of injuries that doesn't necessarily mean the entire situation is perfect (or that Jose is happy, anyway) especially given our one big injury concern is Costa who they chose not to operate on over the summer and then 3 days before the Community Shield he pulls up with the same injury.
Lets not forget Jose had a row with another doctor/physio over Robben back in '05 and he left.
Im loathe to defend the situation as personally I think its been handled incredibly poorly and gone way to far, but lets not say things undermine the achievements we made last season or things that we dont actually know to be true. He may have overreacted on Saturday but we dont know that he doesnt have more legitimate other issues with the medical team especially as I said that he has been complaining about the medical department for a long while

They were stupid to run onto the pitch. Mourinho had the right to be angry.
He didn't handle it well though.

Hazard asked for them to be brought on so the ref summoned them. They'd be eligible for fines if they ignored the request. They had no choice but to go onto the pitch.
If Mourinho had a right to be angry with anyone, it's with Hazard only.

They had no choice its in the rules they have to.

If that is true then I agree with you.
Judging from the post match interview I wouldn't have known that.
The BBC confirmed that Mourinho was even informed of this prior to doing the interview, lol. He's something else.

Strange, maybe there was probably some tension between them already.
Great start to the season for the media.
Probably old but Sky Sports has a video of the moment the two doctors run past Mourinho

Please don't tell me what to do.
Suarez finished 2nd the year before, not Rodgers

Rodgers was manager of the club at the time though.

But its the truth though.
So? It wasn't his tactics that got us there.

I put much of the onus on the transfer committee, which wasn't able to replace Suarez's contributions in the market. Remove one of the best attacking players in the world, and replacing him with Lambert and Balotelli - it's a wonder those involved are even still employed by the club.
We also didn't have Sturridge and the Gerrard DM tactic got completely found out. We didn't get an extra 50 goals just because Suarez was in the team, that's just silly.
If any of you are curios about the impact Kaka has made on MLS and Orlando City, there is a good bit about him, right here:

Nice feature, Kaka is still great to watch.
I never realized how small Orlando really is. Less than half the size of Albuquerque but has two professional teams. Guess that's what money and Disney World buys you.
hum private video
Sky deleted it lol. Must've got a call.
Kaka is class. always has been. Players like Kaka, Pirlo, Lampard are some of the best players of this generation and it's great to see they're having a positive impact on the MLS. I'd love to see them play as well.

Wow Baines out for 3 months.
Exactly, but Mourinho NEVER puts blame on the players (at least in public). The problem here was he was running out of scapegoats, so the idiot threw his own staff under the bus.

West Ham's shortlist for strikers is getting shorter as some targets have gone elsewhere.
Sort it out.

You call that modern ? Pff.... I can see individual pixels.
Joke aside, Hamburg have allowed 31 goals in during their last 5 games in Munich.
I can seriously envisage a PSV-Feyenoord Scenario for this game.

Nope, thats the truth. Rodgers is a clueless cunt! Haven't seen him do anything "remarkable" after Suarez left
What? What have he done after Suarez left? NOTHING! Face this fucking fact, Brendan is CLUELESS!!

Bayern will win 4-1 at least. It will be ugly for the Hamburgers in any case.
Hamburg has disappointed me so often, I remain sceptical. Like, I know they should get thrashed, but then I also knew they couldn't lose to Jena.

I see Balague is casting doubts on Villa's move for traore, will be interesting to see how he copes up. Then again Balague was waxing lyrical about Aspas coming to PL

Indeed. I am actually impressed. Now the question is: Will Mario even play?

Genuinely can't tell if this is a fantastically accurate parody of the kinds of posts you get on youtube and facebook after a loss.
