Undoubtedly my dramatically reduced interest in football in the last few years is heavily correlated with Charlton's demise.
But when you hear Mourinho complain that the £300m he's spent at Man U is not enough football makes itself difficult to like.

Modern football is shit.
(enough of that goodwill to all men shit. Two days was enough)
This latest little rant however makes him sound like an utter, utter prick.
Though I think you're right. He pissed me off far more at chelsea, though in his defence (I cant believe I'm doing this) it was the arse-kissing media hanging on his every utterance that annoyed me the most, and I think he played them for idiots.
Man City might be the strongest in the World when it comes to the ability to buy anyone for any price yet Man Utd are still one of the biggest themselves. Its like when Arsenal fans were moaning that they're the most hard done by fans yet at the time the likes of Luton were dealing with a 30-pts deduction!!
Have zero sympathy for the big teams
A lot of Charlton players when i was growing up rented or owned houses in Riverview Park Estate in Gravesend, Arthur Horsefield gave me a lift to the games if he saw me waiting. How many players would stop and do that now.
Man Utd: £612m
Man City: £724m
When he had near unlimited funds at Chelsea he built a team of athletes who won games by the odd goal playing boring direct football. The was the sum of his ambition and ability.
Pep in the same situation now builds a team of craftsmen, who tear teams apart playing attractive attacking football and scoring goals for fun.
But it’s important You’ve done the selective Man City stats before. Why the last 5 years and not since a trillionaire bought them?
I won’t detract from the original point of the thread, as I agree with that point completely.
Unfortunately tolerating Mourinho and the Barcelona’s whinging is going to be a necessary evil whilst state sponsored transfers at Man City and PSG are allowed unchecked.
If I didn’t continue to have a love for Charlton then I doubt I would even bother checking the scores. Even then my love for Charlton is not about football, if that makes sense.
I have the misfortune of living with a Premier League club on a daily basis and all it does is prove to me that the game is rotten to the core.

They are all mad. I don't think you can be squeaky clean and as passionate at the same time in the top flight of this game.
Mourinhos man united are so far behind Manchester city in quite a number of ways, I don't think any amount of money would change that at the moment.
He needs to just concentrate on building a more resilient team.
In the end, you create your own luck.
He hasn't built that squad from scratch. He has added to it with £300m worth of signings. That makes his statement even more absurd.
Never liked him and his me, me, me attitude and I am so special arrogance. Wake up Jose, you've been sussed. You ain't special anymore!
Instant hero
