Ever heard of Jose Mourinho? Most football fans are familiar with the arrogant, self-loving Portuguese manager of Intern Milan. Setanta, a sports cable company originally from Ireland, has created a show dubbed I’m on Setanta Sports, starring the puppet master himself, Jose. This season weekly installments feature Jose’s co-stars Sven-Goran Eriksson and Wayne Rooney reporting news from the world of football in a much funnier and lighter manner than most journos. As a fan of the beautiful game it’s something that I’ve come to enjoy, and perhaps you will too. Or you’ll just think that I’m weird, which is fine by me.

Lol, good to see ‘The Special One’ topping the table in Italy… although a shame as a Chelsea fan considering our current bizarre form and lack of Mourinho era killer instinct and tactial nouse. Those people who hate him, would love him if he were there manager as he just brilliantly entertaining and I believe the best manager (well, apart from Alex Ferguson and maybe Ancelloti) in world football today.
I have to admit though, towards the end of his reign at Chelsea I was getting a tad annoyed by his arrogance and lack of respect for the opposition which just served to annoy everyone else. Although that whole riling up the opposition was part of his pre-game tactic as used so brilliantly on big Champions League nights.
