Jose Mourinho and the rest of the world

We wanted to make this a one-on-one collision. However, we got confused with Jose Mourinho because the list of people he has a problem with is just about as many as the population of Earth, and so we decided to use the ‘rest of the world’ tag.

From calling Wenger a voyeur to labelling Benitez as a fat Spanish waiter, from saying that Ranieri is lazy to opining that Iker Casillas was the mole in Real Madrid’s dressing room, the Portuguese has had his fair share of rivalry that bordered, and still does, on unhealthy obsession.

And then there are referees: his eternal foes.

One can scour the deepest and darkest caves on Earth and find a Unicorn, but one can’t find a press conference where Mourinho didn’t blame a referee for a 50-50 decision that went against him.
