'I'm On the Touchline, Thinkin' 'Bout the Government'




Maybe Mourinho is right.

On Sunday, as part of his homily, he said he feared 'the end of democracy'.

On an initial viewing, he appears to be attributing a collapse in society to penalty decisions, made in Manchester United's favour. After all, they are a big club and they probably have a subs-bench at meetings of 'The Bilderberg Group', the society of oligarchs that apparently rules the world.

However, to properly understand the blether, it might be helpful to view Mourinho as a Nostradamus enthusiast, simply concerned by current affairs.

Maybe he was aware that 170,000 tonnes of raw sewage has found its way into the Firth of Forth.

Clearly, that was eschatological.

He was no doubt further troubled by reports of Boris Yeltsin's health. As the man responsible for 'shock therapy' economics is ushered into paradise, Mourinho must be pondering the current state of Russian democracy, with its lurch towards totalitarianism.

However, it is the final story that leaves no doubt that Mourinho hears the Lyre of Prophecy. News has reached us that men of bad repute are free to roam our lands. A prisoner escaped from a Kentucky jail by having accomplices send a bogus fax to the authorities, demanding his release. Despite bearing the letterhead of a grocery shop, the fax, which was littered with spelling mistakes, prompted the prisoner's release.
Traditionally, prophecy is delivered in the first person. He can't be far away from saying 'This is not about Jose Mourinho'.

We are waiting 'special one', we are waiting.

'I speak the truth' - Jose Mourinho
