The wisdom of Mourinho

Why I will miss the Not So Special One..

"It is omelettes and eggs. No eggs - no omelettes! It depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have class one, two or class three eggs and some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. So when the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there, then you have a problem." Shorn of the likes of injury victims Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Ricardo Carvalho and Didier Drogba, Mourinho cooked up a surreal analogy ahead of Tuesday's fateful draw with Rosenberg.

"In the second half it was whistle and whistle, fault and fault, cheat and cheat. I know the referee did not walk to the dressing rooms alone at half-time." Mourinho, claiming Alex Ferguson had influenced referee Neale Barry at halftime during a League Cup semi-final against Manchester United in January 2005. He was fined for improper conduct.

...and my personal favourite..

"Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one." Mourinho introduces himself to the English press after arriving from Porto in June 2004.
