Moroninho

Mourinho - Lippy
Maybe that's why the ranting poseur and media sound bite specialist who in his spare time manages Chelski has been having an unwarranted and extremely ludicrous pop at an altogether more illustrious London Club than his own. Perhaps he actually believes that everyone throughout English football operates on a par with Chelski's exceedingly low and astoundingly rough shod manners but I can assure him that is not the case. Even someone who we all agree 'isn't the most intelligent man in the world' (his words) knows you can't buy class but you can attempt to reduce a class act to your own lowly level by throwing enough mud. Chelski it seems have a lot of mud to throw and Moroninho loves a good wallow.

Now we've all got used to Fergusmoan mouthing off over the years and it seems to be part of the more successful managers job description that not only must they sing their own Club's praises but must also slag off their closest rivals*. But usually such inconsequential verbals are timed for when things are not quite going their own way, so what might Moroninho's current deflection strategy all be about? It could just be that he's trying to deflect away from the fact that Chelski have been continually caught bang to rights attempting to poach almost the entire England squad, including their manager. Or it could be that he's trying to deflect away from the Kenyon's latest total disregard and steamrollering of F A rules, whatever it might happen to be this time. Could there actually be yet another Kenyon time bomb in place in dire need of defusing? It could be he's just a naturally lippy individual who loves the sound of his own voice, but it's more likely that he doesn't want the press to focus on the ridiculous sums of money continuously being spent by Chelski and the subsequent uneconomical wages for grossly overpaid international reserves. Perhaps he's embarrassed that Chelski so often only manage to keep a player for only a season before replacing them with whoever United, Real, Juve or Arsenal are scouting at the time. It might be he's deflecting from the fact that some of their loaned players didn't even want to come back to the Club. Then again he just might still be seriously pissed off with Gerrard who did them up like a kipper. Or maybe there are other players they are trying to highjack who are not prepared to sit around as grossly overpaid reserves and would rather play for a team that doesn't park a bus in front of their goal. Possibly he's just be a tad miffed that Chelski haven't quite managed to stick to what Kenyon declared would have to become a realistic budget. Although just possibly he's pissed off with all the flying pigs attempting to shit on his head rather than the working to a budget concept.

Slagging off double-D for having two jobs is hardly an original rant as anyone whose been involved in the Premiership for more than ten minutes would be aware. Fergusmoan has famously been there, done it and blazenly sports the t-shirt. Dein is a cute cookie but anyone who has followed the F.A's dealings with Arsenal over the years would fall about in hysterical laughter if a serious suggestion was made about them fixing things on Arsenal's behalf. I could of course be wrong but I somehow doubt if double-D took a computing course and personally re-programmed the fixtures computer to enhance Arsenal's chances in Europe. The Football Association are departmentalised and in no F.A dealings at any level are representatives of the Clubs allowed to have any dealings with matters that effect their own Clubs. Despite that well known fact, to all but Moroninho, it seems he would rather Kenyon had a job with the F.A. Well I'm not sure that's such a good idea because no doubt if Kenyon ever did ever get a job with the F.A he would favour his self-professed favourite team, namely Manchester Buccaneers, or United as was, rather than his current paymasters Chelsea.

Meanwhile I await the Football Association's disrepute charge against Moroninho with baited breath.


* At no point in the coming season do I anticipate an outburst by Moroninho about Fulham or by Le Boss about Tottenham.
