Video: Jose Mourinho ruins Premier League rivals at Chelsea’s awards dinner

Classic Jose

Ben Kiely

The thing about Arsenal is, they always try and walk it in!

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho brought the house down at the club’s end of season awards dinner.

The Special One did a stand-up routine in which he roasted Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and in fairness, Chelsea, as well. For some odd reason he seemed to completely ignore Liverpool, strange that.

With the aid of graphics, Mourinho poked fun at Manchester United’s superior possession statistics during the Blues’ win over United and let rip at Arsenal for only starting to play after the Christmas break, in reference to their poor form in the first half of the season.

You can check out the Blues boss’ speech below or if you’re the reading type, the highlights are also transcribed below the video.

“That team plays really well and the ball goes and goes and goes and the quality of the ball possession is good, but they don’t score. No points. 

They asked the FIFA committee if they can win like this but they’re told it’s not possible. That the bigger possession is not essential to win matches and they are not champions. 

Then, there is another team. Only with one goal. And they score a lot of goals, from players in every position, and they score and they score and they score. 

But they never concede a goal because there’s no goal. They speak to FIFA and they say they can’t be champions because there is only one seal. 

There is a third team, and the third team wants to play with two goals. 

They were scoring some, they were also conceding some. But they score really beautiful goals and then the bus comes along and they couldn’t do it. 

And finally there is a team. They wanted to play with the normal rules and they know that in matches they have to score one more goal than the opponent. 

How can you do this? By scoring lots of goals, by not conceding and scoring one.”
