Schadenfreude aside, the man is possessed of a talent for observation and switching his side up with tactical changes that borders on genius, so I say beware the second half on Sat'dy.

I think we have to hope he hasn't quite figured out what's going on at Chelski yet. Ironically, I think he's run into a lighter version of what AVB got full-bore. I agree, he makes adaptations well and will NOT want to lose to AVB, but the equal can be said for AVB. I think it has all the makings of an absolute belting classic. Wonder who the ref is...
AVB v Mourinho for the first time on Sat
Its Mourinho that has a problem with AVB iirc, probably feels betrayed that AVB chose to go out on his own and manage in Portugal rather than remain as one Mourinho's assistants at Inter. What a kn0b Mourinho is
would be great for AVB that his first win against Chelski comes against a team managed by that runt!! Under AVB weve already beaten Utd, City, Arsanal and Liverpool. Just Chelski to chalk off and lets hope Sat is the day!!!
Can Mourinho's decline in 'invincibility' be traced back to this? Why would he be so bitter about someone who 'only' scouts the opposition leaving?
He'll be next surely, maybe Fergie was doing him a favour knowing the next guy was bound to fail

What is it with most managers looking like crazy homeless people when things start going badly? Seen it with Jol, Benitez, Houllier, now Mourinho. Sure there are some others too.
I don't think so. Mourinho has never been invincible. Just look at how Chelsea started to falter under him the first time around. I think Mourinho's biggest problem is himself. His ego is so huge that he appears to be too stubborn to ever admit he may be wrong (I think this is happening with Mata right now).
Mourinho seems to flourish with newly inherited teams, but the longer he stays somewhere the more likely the rot sets in.
Happens to almost all of them. Fergie and Wenger have both gone nuts when the pressure was on. There have been times when I've thought Wenger was on the verge of a nervous breakdown! AVB also acted nuts towards the end of his Chelsea career.

Klopp was also approached by Hamburg. In the end their hierarchy offered the job to Martin Jol because, unlike Klopp, he wore a suit when interviewed. "I know why I didn't get the job," Klopp says. "They came to my house but two out of three guys wanted me. One of them was not sure. I looked like this [Klopp gestures at his unkempt appearance]. I'm sorry!
"I read it in the newspaper that I'm not the right coach because of these reasons and, also, because my players called me Kloppo. I don't think it's disrespectful. At Mainz, when I started as a coach, the players were my team-mates. The next day I'm their coach. Must they start calling me 'Sir'? Hamburg thought if someone called me Kloppo I can't have their respect. I phoned them and said: 'I don't want to go to Hamburg. It's not possible when you have so many doubts about my character.'"
I meant it the other way. He always looks a bit of a mess even when they're doing brilliantly. And he's somewhat likely to lose his temper even when they're in a very good run. At the time of the video above I think they've won all (or almost all) of their Bundesliga matches this season and that was the first CL game...
