Oh please people. He was fighting fire with fire. It's all mind games and it would reflect poorly on Del Piero if he takes the bait. Hell, I don;t really see a problem. Lampard plays his heart out every game, whether for Chelsea or for England and he has gotten nothing but stick from everyone. Not a day passes that someone doesn't call him Fat Frank etc etc... yet he still gives his all, shuts up and goes out and proves everyone wrong.
How about that for all you incensed bats.
Note: Mourinho is never going to change and I dig him for that. He does what he needs to win. Just like Fergie. You all just don;t remember his comments or feign ignorance. Go read up on his most famous quotes. Insultuing Wenger with class? Never! It was funny as anything, but it had no class. Neither did Shanks. He said really crass things. Please - if you guys want gentlemanly behaviour - bugger off and go watch cricket.
EDIT: Just to clarify my position. I am not smitten with Jose worship - I just think that everyone who get pissed off with what he says should actually look to their own histories before throwing stones in their glass houses. I have the utmost respect for Fergie, even though I hate the fact that no one can win anything because of him. If Fergie was attacked due to the same reasons, I would back him just as much as I would back Mourinho. take off your goggles and look at everyone not as a supporter of a rival club, but as a neutral. As someone who respects what needs to be done to get to the top. All those nice managers, classy managers, likable managers... are nothing compared to the nitty-gritty, down-to-earth workaholic megalomanical fiends that actually win trophies. Regularly. They are the ones who realise footy is about results and not a frikkin' beauty contest - they dont want to be Miss Congeniality, they want to be the winners. That's it. Remember this clarification when responding to my post.
the man has no class 
Mourinho = Fail
