It'll be more comfy that way .

Probably easier to cheat that way.

Well he's not allowed to contact his dugout apparently at all during the game. If he came to the stadium UEFA were going to sit a minder with him to make sure he didn't. If he's at home, no minder.

I wouldnt put it past him.

Doesn't really matter, there's not that much you can do from the sidelines (or at home in this case) anyway.

Hmm speakerphone in the dressing room during halftime?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Why, so he can tell jokes?

I think his assistants are good enough that they'll notice any deficiencies and won't need Jose to call them out.

Just came from a game I was playing with my buddies... pretty much all snow melted in this city during the last two weeks, it seems.

EDIT: The point of this post: I had a wonderful time today. Football rules.

Then why aren't they managing Champions League clubs?

Maybe they should be .

Knowing deficiencies in your game playing during a match is a far cry different from actually organizing the side pre-match. That is where a good manager excells, in pre-match organization and Mourinho isn't barred from that.

Tactical changes after the game has started are also very important and something Mourinho's historically been very good at. Something he didn't think of is bound to happen... and Bayern won't be trying to be predictable.

I think it's a big miss for Chelsea him not being there personally. He's a huge personality on the pitch aside from anything else.

You can feel his glare even from high up in the stand on the opposite side of the stadium...

Talk about preaching to the converted. Football does pwn, but especially on muddy grass, preferably when its still pissing it down.

I read Mourinho is upset with the club now because they didnt give him full support over the UEFA incident, plus theyre trying to offer him a new 3 year contract.

Yeah, he hasn't sounded very happy at the club's actions since all this went down.
