Why are managers of top clubs in England so nasty and take shots at each other when ever they have the chance ? At first I thought it was just a feud between Sir Alex and Wenger, but Mourinho is no different. The Arsenal - Man Utd matches are always a mayhem, and after the game the managers make lousy excuses for the behavior of their players on the pitch, like "It was they who started it", as if they have no problem with their players wrongdoings at all.
And Mourinho sees nothing wrong with behaving like an immature brat in front of the opponent's supporters. Not only that, he curses at their players. Success must have gotten to his head, since he was a quiet little assistant to Sir Bobby and Van Gaal.

In Italy we luckily don't have these problems on the pitch, Juve - Milan games look like friendlies and you never see Del Piero or Maldini lose their cool at each other like Vieira and Keane.
Capello, Mancini and Ancelotti all admire each other and criticize their own team rather than bringing the opponent down.
Most of the noise comes from Roma's players, but they cannot be considered a top club anymore so they don't count. That goes as well for Zeman

So has anyone in England heard of sportsmanship ?

Italian league has just as much off the field bullshit. MU - Arsenal is always so bad because there is such a rivalry between the teams. Same with Chelsea - Arsenal, its a London derby.

Juve - Roma, Juve - Parma, Juve - Inter, Juve - Torino, Juve - Fiorentina has seen as many troubles on the pitch, off and even with fans.

Atleast our fans dont go out and beat the shit out of each other.

Yeah I am.

English fans never fight after games. There is very rarely trouble between our fans.

Because we realise we are all English and we only want to fight with other nations at international tournaments :howler:

There is bullshit that goes on in all the top leagues, some of different variety. Both England and Italy have equal amounts of this nonsense.

And do you not remember the Portsmouth Vs Southampton match from last season?

Basically, I agree with what andy said, there are idiots in all countries.
