Watching Jose Mourinho here, I can vicariously feel the Kosher One’s dementors twitch and writhe with fury at the gaffers’ panache. Premier League pressers are routinely mixed affairs. Occasionally the questions are so poor, that the person being asked loses the plot and goes ballistic. And the Portuguese has form for that.
The Coronavirus daily briefings from 10 Downing Street were a great example of how demonstrably substandard many journalists are in 2020. The moment the less ‘established’ press were let in, the quality of the exchanges improved, almost unrecognizably in some instances.
There’s my guy right there. Handling tings.
