[@brandonayong5823]

Bringing the daily Mourinho news to the Irish guy Many are not aware of this but before getting into football Mourinho was a teacher in his hometown Setubal. Teaching a mentally challenged class. He touched on that subject in the sky sports documentary " A day with Jose mourinho" when the sky sports team followed him for a day in his old neighborhood while he gave his thoughts on the beginnings and how the England press never valued his work . " I never chased anything. I see so many people talk about" Chasing the dream ". Of course I had the dream to get into football but I never chased it. I was just enjoying life doing things I loved to do . I was a high school teacher. That was my proper job. I was teaching kids with down syndrome and when I left my city to try my chance in football then it became serious stuff. And it has been serious stuff ever since. But I was always humble. I just demanded respect. When I arrived in England back then it was so rare to see a foreign manager arrive in the PL. Now all you need to coach in the PL is a British passport. In my time only 2 managers arrived that summer. Benitez who won la Liga and the Europa league with Valencia and Me who won 2 league titles. An Europa league and a champions league in 2 years. I never said I was the special one when I arrived . I said I was a special one because all the questions were " Are you good enough to manage in the Premier league?" and I thought " What?? I just won the champions league and you're treating me like I'm nobody? So I went in a agressive approach and I said" Hey I'm not one from the bottle I'm not one in the middle of 100. I just won the F champions league. I am a special one. " People say that I use to smile more and be more happy. I haven't changed but I was very hurt by the Manchester united experience. Man united was not easy. To win the Europa league with that squad and all the injuries we had felt like a great achievement and it didn't feel like it was one judging on the press. To get 2nd place in front of Conte's Chelsea and klopp's Liverpool was even a bigger achievement. And I felt like " Wow I'm working so much. I sacrifice so much. I'm getting the best result this club had since Sir Alex and I'm getting no respect whatsoever for it" By the way I would advise that documentary for anyone who haven't seen it. By far the best sky sports video there is.

@@barry4649bazunu will be about Tom Heaton level and the other I can see being pretty good and probably the sort of underrated player like Jonny Evans level

[@barry4649]

@@yfns4795 😂, Bazunu is going to be world class lad, I have no doubt in my mind, he is above Tom Heaton’s level already. Adaramola is still to break through at Palace but if you watch his dribbling forward in academy football he looks like a great future left wing back

[@yfns4795]

@@barry4649 I wish all luck to the kid to do well but I've seen enough young talent and kid prospects be forgotten and not live up to their hype and potential to know that for the majority of these guys this will likely be the last time I hear their names let alone watch them play or win stuff, my bet at least 6 will end up in either the Greek, Indian or one of the Scandinavian leagues during their peak years

[@matthewfarrell3257]

This is all reliant on young lads playing up to their potential let’s be honest half these players will end up in the lower flights of English football I mean I hope not I’d love to see the Ireland national team competing for international competition as someone who’s 1/2 Irish it would give me another team to cheer on if England go back to there regular international performances

[@PARItosh6366]

Ahhhh what great talented future superstars English football team

[@StarSheamus]

looks like Ireland are set for the future! already excited, COYBIG!!

Not one mention of mark travers come on man look at his stats in the championship he’s been incredible for Bournemouth kept us in so many games how has he not been mentioned

[@cillianwhelton5963]

He had a really poor game for us against serbia so he hasnt played for us since

[@okf1739]

@Principia ah yes my mistake

[@killianthefootballgenius5926]

Can't wait for Saturday, gonna witness this golden gen vs Belgium in Dublin, I'm visioning a 1-0 Ireland win

[@barry4649]

Literally none of them got called up 😂

[@theo_2949]

No golden gen got called up its fucking Jeff Hendrick and other Irish prem rejects that will play a negative long ball game resulting in a 3 nil loss against Belgium. Let's keep it real and stop dreaming

[@robb526]

As a Pompey fan I can say Gavin Bazunu will be Manchester Citys and Ireland's Number one keeper ,he's so comfortable with the ball at his feet , brilliant at shot stopping,it's been a pleasure watching him this season 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@barryb90]

Saw him playing with Shamrock Rovers first team when he 15. I knew he was going places, I couldn't believe it only took him 3 years before he was Irish no.1.

The more African players the less Irish the team will be

[@zimzimma5688]

@@whitiemarsh3671 The majority of those lads were born and raised in Ireland. If that's the game we're playing we'll take Kane, Grealish and Rice back, Rooney is now our SECOND highest goal scorer. Jamaica will take Sterling, Sancho and on and on. The colour of people's skin means nothing you fool.

[@whitiemarsh3671]

@@zimzimma5688 so you're saying that if the majority of the Irish team was African that it would still be an Irish team?

Thanks for bringing this to light. Nobody believes me! They all laugh in my face when I say Cov will get promoted in 22/23 thanks to a 20 goal season by Callum O'Hare.
