And he has a nice cock, nom, nom, nom.

If you say so, doesn't float my boat to be honest!

Really?

I think it's that he makes good headlines with very quotable material, it's a symbiotic relationship....the press love Mourinho because he says things that make good headlines and he loves the press because they love him and as a very ill man mentally which he is (Narcassistic personality disorder is a mental ilness) they are only exacerbating his condition.
Wenger i don't think is hated by the press, but with Arsenal there is a hangover from the accusation made of us that we don't field many english players in the side (even though it was Chelsea who were the first team to field an all foreign XI in the league and it wasn't for another six years that we repeated that feat) and the press take an incredibly jingoistic stance as they assume their moronic readers are all quasi racist little englanders (probably not far off the truth).
But Wenger has a habbit of being taciturn and that doesn't make for good headlines, i think the press as individuals actually genuinely like him (and as much as he frustrates and angers me with his managerial decisions i still like and respect him as well). I think Wenger has a very dry sense of humour and some of his quips like the one recently when asked about Julian Draxler at the training ground "people will always say they've seen unidentified flying objects" tends to engage the press, but Wenger does it as part of his job as a media committment....Mourinho enjoys press conferences because he makes it all about him which as a very ill man like he is, he thrives on.

You mean you're in the bath and your toy boat has stuck in your crack? And now your porno mag and holiday brochures have fallen in and got soaked?

That might be true of the English media who would probably suck his cock if he took it out in a press conference. But in Spain and especially in Italy he had a terrible relationship with the media. They didn't have the kind of weird fascination with him that they do here. Ozim said that Mourinho 'doesn't get annoyed with them and react angrily' which is plainly wrong since he's thrown his toys out of his pram plenty of times when he has been criticised (as well as his negative tactics). He even had a press silence in Italy like Fergie with the BBC.

And that's not an agenda? You could apply the same reasoning to the Yorkshire Ripper. He provided plenty of copy too but who loved him? They could have plenty of copy with Maureen either way but they have picked fawning as their favoured method of interaction.

Disagree. An agenda is when the press go out to favour someone or something because they have a pre-arranged course of action. That is different from reacting to something that is going to achieve what all media is in business for - increase income. Of course we all know that journalists will always chase copy. But as long as it is after, rather than before the event they are reflecting the public's mood rather than trying to influence it.

It's a hot tub and it's not stuck in my crack, though she's not complaining. It's like a porno mag here but without the pages and your allowed to touch!
