Guardiola jobless.
Martial clubless.
Pogba useless.
Shaw shapeless.
Rashford homeless.
And Mourinho back at the summit of world football.
The arc of football justice is complete.
@bill_hayton BTW, there are factual errors in Arif Dirlik's essay, for example, no one really want to admit the real borders and control of Ming Dynasty at its height. That would upset a lot of people.
José Mourinho deserves a stadium presentation in the Santiago Bernabéu.
Let the players know who is coming back. Let the world know who is coming back.
13 years waiting for him to return, to feel what we never felt. Today we are resurrected. Today history is made.
Jose Mourinho has gone ONE full year and 13 days without a defeat at home in the League, his last defeat came with Fenerbahce one year ago.
The Special One 🐐
"China is late 80s Japan" - Pettis (2011)
"China is late 80s Japan" - Pettis (2013)
"China is late 80s Japan" - Pettis (2021)
"China is late 80s Japan" - Pettis (2026)
Pettis has been drawing this comparison of China to Japan on the brink of its multi-decade stagnation for the better part of two decades.
This comparison was one of the crucial supporting points to confident forecasts on the GDP growth rate ("a ceiling of 3%") that China could sustain over the long run ... forecasts which despite a two-decade run of being completely wrong ... he continues to cling to.
This is what happens when you make a forecast a core part of your identity.
BREAKING 🚨:
The only Unbeaten team in Europe's top flight leagues is Benfica
They have registered ZERO losses in the league this season
Their manager is Jose Mourinho 🫡
Fudan University reconstructed portrait of the late Tang Dynasty warlord Li Keyong based on his DNA profile. Right is Ming Dynasty portrait of Li Keyong based on imagination.
Li Keyong is a Shatuo Turk leader whose ancestor migrated to inner China after defeat by Tibetan Empire.
Li Keyong put down Huang Chao Rebellion for Tang Dynasty and retook capital Chang'an. For his deed, Tang emperor granted him Imperial surname Li.
After collapse of Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong's son Li Cunxu later founded Later Tang Dynasty as Emperor Zhuangzong.
Li Keyong's DNA could be modeled as 53.4 percent ancient Northeast Asian and 46.6 percent Western Steppe ancestry. Li Keyong has the "Asian Flush" gene. When he consumes alcohol, his face will turn beet red.
We got the DNA of Li Keyong 李克用, father of the Later Tang Dynasty founder Emperor Zhuangzong 後唐莊宗 Li Cunxu 李存勗.
Li Keyong male chromosome haplogroup is R1a1a1b2∼AM01870. Li Keyong was leader of Shatuo Turks, a confederation of Western Turks that migrated to China in the Tang Dynasty.
His son Li Cunxu founded the Later Tang Dynasty.
His genomic profile could be modeled as approximately 53.4% Ancient Northeast Asian (Mongolia_East_N) and 46.6% Western Steppe (Russia_Sarmatian.SG)
There are managers that get hyped by the media and they didn't even have the half of #Mourinho achievements.
Do you know he only got 11 defeats in Liga in 3 seasons? They say he doesn't play attacking football. Do you know that in 3 seasons in la Liga RM scored 326 goals.
Another day to remind you that Jose Mourinho's Benfica is the only team in Europe's top flight leagues that is yet to lose a single game in the league this season
Unbeaten in 30/30 games this season
Class is permanent !
