“Iain,
New Englander checking in here,
Loving the podcast, and feeling strongly enough to comment on your recent poor, poor, poor (underlined), take on Jose Mourinho’s recent antics/comments in the media - I suggest you give Tifo Football’s ‘Mourinho, Fenerbache & Conspiracy Theories’ a watch - Mou wasn’t commenting on the ‘football system’ against him personally, but the Turkish Football ‘system’ against Fenerbache, as there’s a surprising history regarding this idea, belief, or truth, depending on who you ask.
Mourinho’s comment of stench was referring to the "smell of corruption". "Isto está-me a cheirar mal" or "cheira-me a esturro" are very common expressions that don't translate well to English (I just learned minutes ago via r/soccer).
I, for one, am as shocked as anybody that I feel this strongly about Turkish football at the moment.
Sincerely, an enjoyer of Mourinho greatness (us vs. the world baby!)
Tyson
P.S. highly recommend finding Mourinho celebrating a last-minute winner with a failed knee-slide, currently on the top of the week at r/soccer. Keep up the great work, and watch how you speak about The Special One ;)”Read full review »
