Quotable

"Look at my haircut. I am ready for the war."

So said Jose Mourinho as he unveiled his new Action Man haircut (bottom left).

He made headlines in most parts of the world after his uber-successful tenure as manager at Chelsea Football Club came to an abrupt end on Thursday. Aside from winning all the soccer championships England had to offer, he'll perhaps be best known for his outspoken personality that polarized his opponents, the press and fans of the game.

A compilation of his words of wonderment is here. I found them to be a whole lot more entertaining than the mutterings of a typical coach at a post-game conference. I still find the first quote to be the best:

"Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one."
