Everyone made the exact same joke after Juan Mata scored for Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United

Ever since football was invented by Andy Gray and Richard Keys in 1992, the sport has been full of 'misremembered' facts and quotes.

Chief among these is Jose Mourinho supposedly referring to himself as 'the Special One' upon taking over at Chelsea in 2004. He called himself 'a' special one. Don't believe us? Here you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pybQAg2YUxY That hasn't stopped the nickname from following the Portuguese around throughout his career, while it has also come into play in other managers' first interviews. Jose is The Special One, in the same way as Hamlet said "I knew him well" and Dirty Harry asked "do you feel lucky, punk?" - if enough people repeat it, they will it into being. It's stuck with Mourinho at Manchester United, so when Juan Mata scored the club's first Premier League goal of the new era there was an obvious joke to be made. https://twitter.com/JohnBrewinESPN/status/764812212091453440 So obvious, in fact, that plenty of people got there at more or less the same time. https://twitter.com/Priya8Ramesh/status/764812749796892672 https://twitter.com/FootballFanCast/status/764813267713785856 Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium holds just under 12,000 people, and coincidentally that's close to the number who tweeted 'The Special Juan' when the Cherries went behind to Mata's goal. https://twitter.com/mufc_loren/status/764811800873492480 https://twitter.com/TJaffery110/status/764811572170649600 https://twitter.com/Tanganyikan/status/764811529065816064 https://twitter.com/1Obefiend/status/764811454478360576 There was something endearing about it - dare we say something special?
