Jose Mourinho: I'm not the bad guy

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho complained that he is always seen as “the bad guy” following the outcry after he branded Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger “a specialist in failure.”

Mourinho had hit back at his Gunners counterpart, referencing his inability to win a trophy since 2005, after the Frenchman had claimed the Portuguese tried to play down his team’s title chances because he “feared to fail.”

However, many of the subsequent headlines focused on Mourinho -- who has a history of controversial spats with other managers -- and the Blues boss has argued his notoriety is undeserved.

“It is always the same guy, the bad guy. One is polite [Wenger] and the other is the bad guy,” he said after watching his side suffer a 2-0 FA Cup fifth-round defeat at Manchester City on Sunday.

Gaza fisherman hooks statue of ancient Greek god Apollo - CNN

Gaza (CNN) -- When Jwdat Abu Ghrb spotted a dark shape last summer in the waters off Gaza, where he was diving for fish, he initially thought it was a corpse.

"I was afraid," he told CNN. "I put on my goggles, dove underneath and still couldn't tell what it was. I resurfaced and got some help from other people and family members and came back, and after full four hours of trying we managed to get it out of the water and I was shocked by what I found."

It was a life-size bronze statue, believed to be a 2,500-year-old depiction of the ancient Greek god Apollo.

He described the half-ton object as "treasure pulled out of the sea."

"I thought it was made of gold; I was going to be rich," Ghrb said. "So I took it home to hide it."
