Take it as said! Sportsmail takes a look at Jose Mourinho's finest quotes
You have to hand it to Jose Mourinho. Just hours after touching down back in London ahead of the Champions League second leg clash with Chelsea he was back on the war path. [LNB]In a dig at his former club's lack of success since his departure Mourinho said: 'Tomorrow, after the game, I will be the Special One - win or lose.[LNB]'I did more than enough to be here but the decision was made. I keep winning important things. They won an FA Cup.'[LNB] Love him or hate him, there's never a dull moment when Mourinho's around and here's a selection of Sportsmail's favourite words of wisdom from Jose. [LNB]AT CHELSEA Jose's grand Premier League entrance (June, 2004) 'We have top players and, sorry if I'm arrogant, we have a top manager. Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.' [LNB] The Special One: Mourinho won back-to-back League titles as Chelsea boss[LNB]On bus-driving opponents Tottenham (September, 2004)'As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal. I would have been frustrated if I had been a supporter who paid £50 to watch this game because Spurs came to defend. There was only one team looking to win, they only came not to concede - it's not fair for the football we played.' [LNB]A modest take on his influence (February, 2005) 'We are on top at the moment but not because of the club's financial power. We are in contention for a lot of trophies because of my hard work.' [LNB]Wenger gets both barrels (October, 2005) 'Wenger has a real problem with us and I think he is what you call in England a voyeur. He is someone who likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have this big telescope to look into the homes of other people and see what is happening. Wenger must be one of them - and it is a sickness.' [LNB] Who you calling a voyeur? Wenger and Mourinhio did not always see eye-to-eye [LNB]Player crisis? (February, 2007) 'It's like having a blanket that is too small for the bed. You pull the blanket up to keep your chest warm and your feet stick out. I cannot buy a bigger blanket because the supermarket is closed. But the blanket is made of cashmere.' [LNB]AT INTER MILAN Move over, Sir Alex (March, 2009) 'If you want me to rule out ever being Manchester United manager I can't. Special clubs need special managers so in theory it could work. 'The England national team wanted me as coach and that is the biggest job in England, so I am sure when Sir Alex retires they will look at the best managers in the world and I certainly fall into that category.' [LNB] Heir to the throne? Mourinho reckons he is the perfect candidate to replace Fergie [LNB]England, my England (December, 2009) 'I want to come back to England. I'm not the kind of guy to keep his feelings hidden. I have always said the same - I love it here, I love it here, I love it here.' [LNB]Infamy, infamy ... they've all got it in for me (January 2010) [LNB]Guilty: It's Jose against the world [LNB]'Everything was done today to try and prevent Inter from winning, but my squad is strong and we will win the Scudetto. But I will leave it at that. This is your country and your league. I am just a foreigner working here. One day, I will go and leave this problem with you.' [LNB]Chelsea haven't moved on since his departure (February, 2010) 'The warm-up is the warm-up they did in our time. The way they defend set-pieces is exactly the same. Sometimes they play a 4-4-2 diamond, sometimes they play 4-3-3, which are exactly the systems we worked when there.' [LNB]Jose knows why the Blues are stumbling (February, 2010) Chelsea have suffered in the last two years, and it's no coincidence that their decline happened after I left.
