Parking The Bus

THE Champions League is prime time for football banter - and nobody inspires conversation about footy like Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.





















His side defended almost constantly when they drew 0-0 with Atletico Madrid in April, which got the twittersphere talking about his famous quip deriding teams who 'park the bus'.

For anyone who doesn't already know, Jose's comments were aimed as an insult towards opposing teams who employ overly defensive tactics. He said they might as well 'park the team bus' in front of the goal. Now he had done the same thing, he put himself in prime position for a bit of gentle mocking.

This is what I came up with:

The picture was a little bit tricky to create because the bus actually belongs to Real Madrid, and was facing in the opposite direction in the original photo. That meant I had to use the photoshop clone stamp to remove all the Madrid markings, then reverse the image. 

After that, I got pics of Jose and Chelsea striker Fernando Torres and enlarged their heads for comic effect (I find big heads are almost always funny). Then I just had to source a football pitch background and add the text. 

I also shunned Mr Mourinho's real name in favour of his self-penned moniker 'Special One'. 

You're welcome, Jose.
