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

I also think the squad is also not really that amazing either.



I also think Refs have changed their mindset with Utd.. They were all terrified of Ferguson and his petulant bullying. Not any more. Giving a penalty against Smalling for manhandling an opponent would have been a no no when Ferguson was in charge. It's not just their mojo that's gone missing, it's also the favouritism they used to enjoy.

Yeah unless Mourinho is able to bring in a world class attacker or two the results will go the same way as LVG as their tactics are similar.

Mourinho relies on defensive football while counter attacking with class attackers who can make those brilliant passes and finish.

While LVG relies on possession football keeping the football away from your opponent so you're good defensively as they can't score if they don't have the ball while relying on class attackers to make the brilliant passes and finish.

LVG is failing right now because he doesn't have the class attackers for the final ingredient, but it's an ingredient which Mourinho relies on as well.

Until they fix it Mourinho will do little better, top 4 maybe, but no title.

That is unless they get in that class player or two.

Not to mention Mourinho never lasts anywhere and he often leaves scars when he does leave.


But he'll have another chance to pad his bank account when fired.

It's 3 3-0 losses in a row for Stoke.

So it sounds more like Stoke being shit than Man U being amazing.
Manure started that game like they were a completely different team.

Anyway, hope you're right and they take a crap tomorrow.

It feels horrible wanting Chelsea to win a game, but I'd take that if it left us eight points ahead of United.

I think the key now is to gain on them before They get the taste of us. Would be awesome if Defoe sealed a winner early on saturday - then we can play with no pressure v city.

No pressure?

Do people still think we are getting pressure from United?


They aren't even in our area code right now

Still a long way to go and they are finally scoring goals.

I'm not worried about them but history has taught me a bitter lesson.

Slightly off topic but nice to see lvg put a couple of those football reporters in their box, such scummy were scrotes they are.

Totally... I enjoy United's demise as much as the next non United fan, but the press are borderline disgraceful at times.

Finding it funny that it's looking likely that Jose will be there next manager.

If the fans did'nt like the brand of football under Moyes and LVG, they are'nt exactly going to love Maureen's brand of football either.

Utd are in dire need of a re build, but I doubt that the owners and fans are patient enough to give a manager the time needed.

Just like the Bill Nick era has been for Spurs and the 80's have been for Liverpool, the Fergie years of constant success is fast becoming a millstone around the neck of Utd.

I wonder what those Man Utd fans that want Mourinho will be thinking half way into next season when Jose has turned their club into the pantomime villains with no class in a renewed feud with the choir boy sun shines out of his ass Guardiola who will of course be in charge of their local rivals.

I can just see it now - disciplined, restrictive football played to a backdrop of Mourinho throwing punches at coaches, firing 12 year old ball girls for naivety and trying to agitate Pep in public with outlandish and classless statements.

They'll really like all that.

The alternative is them getting Poch. We should be mounting a disinformation campaign supporting Mourinho's candidacy, not engage in this sort of reckless truth telling.
