CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES'
PARK:
Jose Mourinho‚ and his teams‚ were always at their best when snarling and snapping. Here‚ he and
Benfica were just too nice. The Especially Kind One arrived on Tyneside and spoke so warmly of
Newcastle United‚
Eddie Howe‚
St James' Park and
Sir Bobby Robson‚ the man who stoked his affection.
Mourinho revealed that he spoke to
Robson's bronze bust as entered the stadium on the eve of the game. That likeness of the former
Newcastle boss might well have whispered 'thank you' as his former
Barcelona assistant left the ground on Tuesday night.
