Meanwhile, my chosen Sunday paper in Sydney (the only one that isn't right-wing) generally has one European football article per week, and the last two have been all about Mourinho. Remarkable that a sixth-placed team with no realistic prospect of title contention is garnering so much attention. They didn't even fap this hard over Leicester last year. The last article was from the UK Telegraph (I think) and gushed about Mourinho's great sense of humour (apparently he's a real larrikin who puts stuff in players' hair while they sleep! - a budgerigar in Fellaini's nest, perhaps?) and how the players have really bonded under him because he doesn't make them watch videos like Van Gaal did (nah, he just slags them off on national telly!). Real vomit-inducing stuff. I wonder if they'll go for three in a row now that a below-par Liverpool easily snapped their winning streak. It's still an unbeaten streak, though! Greatest club ever! Sixth!
