Let's All Laugh At... Let's all wonder what's going on at United?

Moyes has just given United their team talk and in a cruel irony they'll be pumped up which seldom happened when he was in charge.

I can only see this going one way. A complete hammering while the home crowd....the people who once sang his name....serenade the Portuguese w***er. Moyes will be goaded and jeered.

When the whistle goes he'll shrivel up towards the posturing w***er.

Mourinho insulted the BBC reporter last night and walked out of the interview. "If you don't know football, you shouldn't be holding a microphone."

He's such a classless tool.

I'm so pleased that Poch always acts with professionalism and respect, even after a bad decision.

I'm no Mourinho fan but damn there are a lot of reporters who are more interested in the drama than the football. It's fucking boring for me. Drama is for kids, the game is what is important

I thought he was asked a valid question. He could answer it with civility but he chose to be a prick.

To he fair, the reporter did ask about a refereeing decision, which is fair game.

I agree that many reporters ask banal and trivial questions, though.

Has a point about being treated differently to other Managers though. If Klopp escapes a ban after doing what he did on Tuesday then there is something very wrong.

I agree with you but Mourinho is hugely to blame for the drama circus that comes with football. If he's tired of it he shouldn't have been the instigator in the first place.

I get your point though, I wish journalists would ask questions about tactics etc. But controversy sells don't it?!

Act like a prick, you'll get treated like a prick.

For anyone who watched the last 20-25 minutes of last night's game you'll agree it was clear United players were looking for a penalty every single time the ball came in the area, not even one of them was a half shout. How Zlatan didn't get booked for hanging his leg out, fouling Huddlestone and then claiming a penalty is beyond me. That's simulation and trying to con the referee as much as taking a dive is! Hull hardly wasted time either, not once did the referee have to hurry them up, they were even looking for the three points themselves. So I don't know what Taylor did at all wrong in Jose's eyes.

Mourinho is the most disgraceful manager in the Premier League. Hardly ever gives anyone credit and can't just accept that sometimes he gets outfoxed.

He's an embarrassment to the sport. He wanted to be known as the special one and acts like a spoilt prick. Deserves every bit of criticism he gets. Utter wanker.

You reap what you sew though and Mourino has been acting like that for years, he can have no complaints.

Yeah, I recall 1 interviewer asking about a penalty or sending off about 6-7 different ways, think it was Klopp but not sure, and he didn't bite but eventually told the reporter to ask about the whole game and stop repeating the same question.

They're doing their job.

But their job is to ask what went wrong/ right; about the tactics, the players fitness etc... not whether 1 call ruined their season 7 or 8 times until the guy gets annoyed and rants.

I'd seriously give short thrift to any such interviewer
