Jose Mourinho on Arsene Wenger (October 2005)

Jose Mourinho on losing to Charlton in the Carling Cup (October 2005)

Jose Mourinho on the loss of their 100% league record at Everton (October 2005)

"Everybody is crying that Chelsea keep winning and winning and winning so I think that draw at Goodison Park makes everyone more happy. It gives people more hope and brings to the Premiership what everybody was waiting for.

I may look stupid saying this, but I think we should be going home with three points because we scored two great goals and usually, when you score two and concede one, you win the game."

Jose Mourinho on the Champions League (September 2005)

Jose Mourinho on Arsenal's vice chairman and FA board member David Dein (July 2005)

"A person who works in the club should not work in the FA. The FA is the FA and the club is the club.

I am not concerned about how Chelsea are viewed morally. What does concern me is that we are treated in a different way to other clubs. Some clubs are treated as devils, some are treated as angels. I don’t think we are so ugly that we should be seen as the devil and I don’t think Arsene Wenger and David Dein are so beautiful that they should be viewed as angels.

Is Jose Mourinho the only one who can look at the fixtures and find something very strange?"

Jose Mourinho on Manchester United (May 2005)

Jose Mourinho on Liverpool after Chelsea's Champions League loss (May 2005)

"It was a goal that came from the moon - from the Anfield stands.

The best team lost. After they scored only one team played, the other one just defended for the whole game.

Liverpool scored, if you can say that they scored, because maybe you should say the linesman scored.

They are in the final and from my heart I hope they win it. The night belongs to them and I don’t want to criticise them."

Jose Mourinho on Blackburn (February 2005)

"During the afternoon it rained only in this stadium - our kitman saw it. There must be a micro-climate here. The pitch was like a swimming pool.

Look at the blond boy in midfield, Robbie Savage, who commits 20 fouls during the game and never gets a booking. We came here to play football and it was not a football game, it was a fight and we fought and I think we fought fantastically."

Jose Mourinho on David Beckham (January 2005)

"He is someone I respect as a man and as a player. He is the captain of England and has been a European champion. I have never been critical of him and reports implying that are incorrect as I’ve never made comments about him."

Jose Mourinho on Sir Alex Ferguson again (January 2005)

"People want a storm but there isn’t one. I respect Sir Alex a lot because he’s a great manager, but he must follow the procedure. I don’t speak with referees and I don’t want other managers doing it, it’s the rule. One thing is to speak, one thing is to shout.

This is nothing against Sir Alex whatsoever. After the game on Wednesday we were together in my office and we spoke and drank wine. Unfortunately it was a very bad bottle of wine and he was complaining, so when we go to Old Trafford for the second leg, on my birthday, I will take a beautiful bottle of Portuguese wine.

But he is a great manager, he is clever and used his power and his prestige.

Jose Mourinho on Sir Alex Ferguson (January 2005)

"Maybe when I turn 60 and have been managing in the same league for 20 years and have the respect of everybody I will have the power to speak to people and make them tremble a little bit."
