Bye Bye Jose

I was saddened by the news in the early hours of yesterday morning that Jose Murinho has left Chelsea. I will miss Jose Murinho and his self centred take on events as well as his sometimes libellious comments about match officials and other managers.
However saddened I may be by Jose's departure, It did not reduce me to tears. That cannot be said for a grown man outside Stamford Bridge who was crying his eyes out. On the news, of all places to do that. If this man ever happens to read this, I have a few words for him: "Get a grip, man. It doesnt matter how special he was,he wasnt family, he was just a manager. They come and go. Get used to it or find a less emotionally tasking hobby".
I leave you with a few of my favourite Murinho quotes:

"I saw their players and manager go for a lap of honour after losing to us in their last home game. In Portugal if you do this, they throw bottles at you."

"Omelette, eggs. No eggs, no omelettes. It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have eggs, class one, class two, class three. Some are more expensive than others, and some give you better omelettes. When the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, you have a problem."

"I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur. He likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea."
