    The FA Cup

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Here’s the second part of Mourinho’s press conference which was embargoed for some reason.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43431205

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It'll be amazing when they languish in league one for about 8 years.

    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. Football managers love the media stuff too much when the going is good (Mourinho especially), so when they try to give it back they look RATTLED. Somebody should trial the Bennett approach. 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.

    Me and a Cov fan I know agreed a few years ago that for a decent sized club, you can't get any lower than about two thirds of the way down League One, because the clubs down there start becoming really small family-run affairs who don't make any revenue.

    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.

    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.

    Do they still vote for Player of the Year pointlessly early? If not he should win it, but 'KdB' was better during (what used to be?) the NARRATIVE-setting period, so I don't know.

    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.
