Caption this photo of Jose Mourinho and Samuel Eto'o.

It’s not like there’s something really special about this photo or a hug but if you got Samuel Eto’o’s “fool” and “puppet” memo few months back, (and then the Thank You remark this week) you would understand why I shared this photo.

It’s their second contact (the first was a handshake) since Samuel left Chelsea. And seeing them smoke peace pipe is so super cool. Mourinho’s tongue though…..

By the way, can we have the Special One and CR7 do this?

Trophy drought: Spanish paper gives Jose Mourinho a new nickname.

That Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho is being loathed by spanish media is like saying tap water is colourless. And his failure to win a silverware this season has been mocked by writers of spanish paper, El Confidencial. Excerpts from one of their current write-ups

“Since leaving Porto, Mourinho has won as a result of the huge financial backing of transfers – in his first stint at Chelsea, then Inter Milan and Real Madrid. He is a good coach when the chips are down, and he gave himself the nickname ‘The Special One’. After his two seasons without a trophy, now they should start calling him ‘The Special Zero’.”
