PHOTO: JOSE MOURINHO: WHEN THE SPECIAL ONE MAKES A SPECIAL DRAMA

I laughed my heart out when I saw this picture. Can you guess what's happening here? Before then, football addicts, have you ever noticed that almost all el-classico games (Barcelona-Real Madrid) are dramatic, (pitch and behaviour wise) if its not pepe attacking Messi, its David Villa slapping Ozil, ready-to-fight clusters, trading words, people getting 'red-carded', Pep and Mourinho keeping quiet and all.
God knows what happened during the last el clasico which ended 2-2 but this picture (according to reliable source) depicts Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho after wednesday game waiting for the referees at the referee's exit of the Camp Nou to insult them, well, he eventually did. Taking his time to do this is what however makes it funny and awkward.
Needless to say Mourinho is this person who doesn't care whose ox is gored, no, not with 10 red cards in his face, he will still bare and acts his mind. I love him for this….but then, who doesn't like The Special One?

If I were to read most minds, some coaches should earn better than their current pay. Sir Alex Ferguson, I understand is signing a new contract which is expected to upgrade his salary to £6.5m a year and a £1m bonus thus making him Britain’s fourth highest paid manager.
