Again, it's pre season.

He was very good in his first few months. Last season almost everyone regressed thanks to Jose. Let's not jump about like prize Hanks in a lazy kickabout against the O's.
The ghost of Mourinho. Haha. You wanted us to look at his prime in the past, yet so many of you keep bringing up the worse of Mourinho era and not moving on. BTW, we were top of the table during Christmas period last season. The players didn't regress straight from the beginning of the season. Kane and Son still got their best returns in the club during Mourinho's tenure. The better players got to one of their best, the weaker players got to one of their worse. Why has it been so hard to admit that?

We weren't top at Xmas. We were top for like 2-3 weeks at the beginning of December. It's not like we were top for ages

I know these kids are young, but most of them look miles off playing senior football. As did some in the 1st half

With the greatest of respect. Who gives a flying fuck about Mourinho or where we were 8 months ago?

He's long gone, it's a new season. Just forget about the **** & move on.

What a life it is as a footballer, though.

Every day you go and play football with your mates, with your whole week focused on being super fit and feeling great. Personal chefs, state of the art gyms and facilities, your pick of basically any woman you could ever want. Once or twice a week you get to play a proper football match.

Every day you finish "work" by about 3pm and can do whatever you like for the rest of the day. Play videogames, go shopping, get a soapy titwank from your supermodel girlfriend. When the season ends you get weeks and weeks off in the summer - not for any other reason than to just go and do whatever you like, go on holiday, party, have fun, relax. You can get properly fucked up if you want because you've always got pre-season to get fit again.

And you do all this for vast, gigantic, impossible to imagine amounts of money. So much money that you can do literally anything you want and never have to think about finances.

And then eventually when your career comes to an end you either go into coaching and have a very similar lifestyle all over again, but with way less pressure on you, or you go and do a few hours of chatting shit on tv every week and get paid a fortune for that as well.

What a life.

To be fair I prefer my soapy titwanks from my overweight wife. Supermodels don't have enough tit size for my liking.

TBF only a small ratio manage to achieve that lifestyle, and you have to work your bollocks off from the age of 10 in order to make it.
