I know no-one cares about the Europa League but Reg kicking the next thread off before Arsenal have is a bit :(
I didn't forget about that, it's just I won't have much time tomorrow.
The FA Cup :cool:
Could yet salvage our season but more likely to get bodybagged by Iheanacho.
Really looking forward to Sunday.
Still awaiting revenge for ‘97 and Erland Johnsen’s dive.
When Swansea and Brighton nick 1-0 wins it will be properly GAME ON.
I think this is the difference between a pretty crap and an alright season for United now, and it would also give Mourinho the chance to shithouse the Charity Shield up next season, so hopefully it works out.
Brighton dumping us out would be fucking incredible.
I bet he starts the same team/ Fellaini.
Hopefully Brighton, Swansea, Wigan and Leicester in the semis.
Prem:
Bournemouth v West Brom
Huddersfield v Crystal Palace
Stoke v Everton
Liverpool v Watford 17:30 BT
So Bournemouth will pull further ahead of us but hopefully Huddersfield and Palace share the spoils ahead of our next match. Everton look capable enough to grind out narrow wins until the fans get sick of it.
Fucking internationals next week. :sick:
Here’s the second part of Mourinho’s press conference which was embargoed for some reason.

That looks like a full blow meltdown.
It's been one long meltdown since, what, the back end of the second Chelsea stint?
Jesus, he really has absolutely lost it.
There's a reasonable argument for just sacking him now.
'LvG' deserves another go with better players.
It's a shame obviously hearing a meltdown with a second language, there's almost a get out. I wish he was from Doncaster or something.
It's more his tone than what he says, he sounds genuinely quite deranged. Probably time to move out of the Travel Tavern and rent a flat.
In other news Darron Gibson has been arrested for drunk driving....again.

José's rants makes me lol because it's exactly the same mode my dad goes into whenever he's angry at something (about thrice daily). It's just southeuropean.avi and happens at most press conferences in their native leagues.
Stuck a fiver on the Wendies, didn't predict score but guaranteed 1-0 defeat.
It'll be amazing when they languish in league one for about 8 years.Quote:

Wayne Bennett tells journalists that they're shit every week and nobody even responds, because he has maintained a consistent level of contempt for them for thirty years and acts accordingly.

Preferably somebody solid, so that Adidas don't set their car on fire.
Ferguson was supposed to be a master of the media game, but even he had regular rants and meltdowns. Part of it is just your voice/demeanour, i.e. when Rafa Benitez goes off on one he looks like an IT manager who hasn't been given his bonus, whereas when Barry Fry does it it's just another day at the office for Britain's favourite used car salesman.
The RANTS and the MELTDOWNS definitely decreased during his Elder Statesman years, but that was largely down to people not daring to ask him difficult questions.
If only.Quote:

We've obviously since updated that to 'top half of League Two'.
Then you start to become the subject of those hand-wringing 'Crapford need £40000 to avoid being liquidated whilst the Premier League...' feel-bad state of the board stories. What does it say about us?! Well for a start we've got too many clubs.
We haven't got too many clubs, they just all (and I mean all, from 1st in the Premier League to bottom of the Renton Wood Varnish League Division Five) have the most pathetic short-termist attitudes to money imaginable.
Exactly. There aren't enough competent administrators to go around.
Maguire's on fire :cool:
What a Strunz.Quote:

West Brom :(
2-1 them.
:eyemouth:
Okay, Huddersfield's visit will be crunch time. I still think Southampton have the squad to survive but I can't tell you what a caretaker honeymoon is going to be like. Unless they land a new man in the next couple of weeks.
Won £13. Buzzing.
She'll be having half of that too.Quote:

Big Fat Luke Shaw gets a game. Mourinho is ON THE ROPES.
Salah though, he’s bloody good.
Yep.Quote:

That would have been so good had Mata buried that.
Nice play between him and Martial.
The team is so inherently broken it's painful. You've got players at the top pressing (not Lukaku though as he's too immobile) and then a big gap to the defensive 6. Bad shit.
