Only one place for all the papers to go this morning and it's to Stamford Bridge, awaiting the arrival of former favourite Jose Mourinho and his Inter Milan side. Not everyone is getting carried away though, as Mick Dennis of the Daily Express asserts:

''The preening ­Portuguese is back, so let me tell you about three incidents for you to make an educated judgment about Jose Mario dos Santos Felix Mourinho. Just three will do; three selected from a catalogue of despicable incidents.

''Let’s begin just over five years ago. Mourinho’s Chelsea lost 2-1 in the Champions League in Barcelona, with Didier Drogba sent off for a second caution – a rash challenge on the goalkeeper – early in the second half. Mourinho alleged that Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard had colluded with referee Anders Frisk. Portuguese newspaper Dez Record quoted Mourinho as saying: “When I saw Rijkaard entering the referee’s dressing room, I couldn’t believe it. When Didier Drogba was sent off, I wasn’t surprised.”

''Mourinho’s account was fiction. A UEFA official was in the referee’s room throughout the interval and stated categorically Rijkaard had not gone in. Yet Frisk received death threats and quit the game, saying: “I have been subjected to things I couldn’t even imagine.”''

Of course the other main man around at the moment is David Beckham and the fallout continues from his injury. Matt Dickinson in the Times has his say and reckons there may be a few options left for Becks.

''David Beckham wanted wealth and fame and, boy, did he find it. He wanted to become an icon and how many other footballers have been on the front page of The Times twice in a week? The question he may be asking soon, if not quite yet in the immediate shock and pain of surgery on his Achilles tendon, is what he does next with all that worldwide celebrity. What lasting fulfilment and excitement can it bring him?...

''Beckham has always known what he wants — and mostly, by force of personality, he has got it. Stubbornly he has hunted down his targets, beginning as a 10-year-old when he won a Blue Peter skills competition, which led to the Bobby Charlton Soccer Schools and set in chain his professional career. He dreamt of playing for Manchester United. He did, as a dynamic member of the Treble winners.

''On an England trip to Georgia, he saw the Spice Girls on Top of the Pops. Sitting in his bedroom, he decided that he was going to marry “the one with the legs”. And he did. Perhaps his most daring ambition was to believe that he could have it all — the showbiz lifestyle and the career of a brilliant footballer.

''Ferguson believed that the two were incompatible but Beckham, as even his harshest critics would admit, had a damn good stab at it. A Champions League title, seven championships with United and Real Madrid, and 115 caps; it is a considerable CV...

''What is certain is that Beckham will not be short of ideas or offers. His career is not about to peter out in a clinic in Finland.''
