In Jose's opinion they were and I didn't say anything about Chelsea's performance.
More than 10 years and different players, so what. Manager is same.
I still fail to see your point ... What are you trying to say? That Chelsea were boring? I rather they were boring but still in the title race rather than exciting and being out of the top 4 by January
And I am pretty sure that Jose isn't the first manager and won't be the last who one could accuse of being slightly hypocritical in his interviews/comments. Not to mention the game you are referring happpened more than 10 years ago with a completely different set of players ...

And I still don't get it. What are you trying to say?
Yes manager is the same ... I can probably find countless examples of Ferguson's hypocrisy if I start linking matches which were 10 years apart. Same can be done for just about any manager. Again what's your point?
That Chelsea were boring as per Jose's comments? I just posted that..
Lol okay ... Firstly you posted a ridiculous picture, that is probably more at home on Redcafe, which served to criticize Jose for being hypocritical by taking his quotes from the post-match interview after the WH game totally out of context. Now you are trying to link his quote after the Arsenal game to this game and for what reason, that you will know better
"I cannot be too critical because, if I was in this position, I don't know if I would do the same. But at the same time this is not Premier League. This is not the best league in the world. This is football from the 19th century."
I'm linking his quote after the Arsenal game, Yes. Because it's something Jose said and just that he was on the receiving end. Not sure what the problem is.
Jose is a hypocrite so all are managers. I don't think anyone deny that and that doesn't mean we shouldn't post pictures comparing his 2 quotes.
Oh btw, in case you missed, Jose said this..
Not sure where "this is not premier league" went when he was part of most boring ever games in the PL history against Arsenal and ManUtd. Would be interesting how he sets up next week against City. Will see where his "this is premier league" stance will go.

I only saw the game on MOTD so I can't say for sure but I would imagine he said what he said to deflect attention from his strikers not scoring. So everybody speaks about this rather than ba, etoo and torres not scoring again.everything he puts in the media is calculated nothing is by chance with him he is the best at using the media IMO.
Also I honestly expect chelsea to setup initially to nullify city they would be stupid not too look at spurs and arsenal getting goals put past them when trying to mix it up. But chelseas 3 behind the striker have lightning pace so city will need to be apert at the back
And again let me point out, their is a difference between the way Jose sets up his team and the way WH did. Jose will not go to City and tell Chelsea to defend with 9 players in the box and build their counter-attacking plan around hoofing the ball forward and hoping the striker can outmuscle the entire opposing defense, win the ball and somehow score
Except as I already pointed out, you are comparing two games that were played out in vastly different ways with very different teams. Yes Jose said a home team is boring if they don't score goals ... Did he say that Chelsea were exciting after the WH game? No. Did he say Chelsea were not boring after the WH game? No. You are basically trying to prove that 'Chelsea were boring' according to Jose by linking quotes between two very different matches and I honestly fail to see the relevance of your argument at all. But okay you win, Chelsea are boring according to Jose. We are also third and fighting in 3 competitions. Deal with it
Doubt the media will actually criticize our strikers after Eto'o knocked three past United. It's a bit idiotic of them to do so after that brilliant performance
Because Jose was saying that West Ham CHOSE to play in that fashion, and since Jose has many a time CHOSEN to also play in that fashion, it's a bit rich for him to insult West Ham for doing it. Jesus.
Stop getting your pants in a twist because he made a joke about the special one before you had chance to remove your tongue from his arsehole. Jose only said it anyway because he knew it'd be controversial, and people would make jokes and laugh at him, rather than the performance. A-la Fergie.
Check Barcelona and Inter CL semi finals and then post this again with a straight face that Jose will not set up team like big Sam did. Chelsea are far superior to West Ham so they played with a game plan just like how Jose's Inter did against Barca with only 14% possession.
Before you post, I know Inter had 3-1 lead but I don't see any difference in how West Ham played and Inter played.

I can see what you are saying but everytime Chelsea fail to score it will always get bandied about that Chelsea need a striker or strikers haven't scored or whatever. Until one of them starts scoring consistently it will always happen.
And regarding your second point, there are CFC fans who treat Jose like he is beyond criticism which is understandable after what he has done for the club. Their are also people who will attack him just for the sake of attacking him without any substance (ie. taking his quotes out of context)
They're not attacking him, they're just having a laugh.
Since you're getting so angry though.
"We didn't want the ball because when Barcelona press and win the ball back, we lose our position – I never want to lose position on the pitch so I didn't want us to have the ball, we gave it away" - Jose on Inter-Barca.
And what does that quote prove? Again you missed the point ... He never criticized WH for playing defensive football. He acknowledges that he would have done the same. He criticizes them for using cheap/dirty tactics that's all
When someone posts about how Jose's team played exact game, you will say it was 10 years ago with other players.
