Seeing some of the utter shite 'followed' by SC's Twitter users, I begin to understand what's behind some of the stuff we see on here. How on earth do people find the time to keep up with it all? And at the same time know its shit. Not just keep up with it whilst knowing it's crap, but to do it voluntarily! They actually go to the site, without anyone holding a lit fag to their nipples and read it.

Then some of them post it on SC, all the while KNOWING it's crap and not understanding that they are actually giving oxygen to these skidmarks by spreading their word. Not to mention forever infecting our minds with this utter buffalo shit. FFS if you must weaken your minds by indulging in that cockwaste, keep it to yourselves. I'm pretty sure normal minded people don't need the 'share'

It's amazing, a most perplexing phenomenon :D

Obviously happy we won but not gonna lie that performance and in game management from Mourinho worries me. Against good teams (United, Bayern, Wolves) we haven’t played well and Mourinho has done questionable decisions

We were 1-0 up in the first half but Wolves was the better side and when we had the ball we fell for their pressing plan and Jose did nothing to change it the whole game. Made substitutions way to late

Chelsea next week will be a big test to see if Jose will change things up

United wasn't that bad. I can't blame Mourinho for allowing Rashford several shots with his right. That is on the players. If we don't give away that penalty I think we would have had a great chance at winning.

BM is irrelevant. B team against a motivated BM is never going to work.

Today I think he lacked alternatives he trusted on the bench. Eriksen is hardly going to help defensively. Dier and Sissoko were good defensively. No full backs available to better cope with their wingers.

The big question for me is how he deals with resting players. Clearly we are quite short in players the way Mourinho wants to play. Eriksen and Lo Celso do not fit in unless they replace Alli. Limited options at full back.

From watching the game you could tell the lads were fully aware of what they were in for. Mourinho got the team selection spot on.

Sure, maybe we could have countered a bit more effectively, but the defending was excellent. The attitude of the players was first class. We really battled and made it very difficult for them to create clear chances.

So far so good. No way we win that match with Poch in charge with how things had been this season. Jose has the players playing for him and fighting hard. We have a long way to go but he has made a positive impact.

Son and Lucas (apart from the goal) were pretty wasteful, Dele not amazing either...on another day we could've been much more effective on the counter.

Dier was inches away from 2-0 before half time. That goes in and we're in full control.

This is going to sound strange. But in hindsight I'm glad we didn't get the 2nd then, I think at 2-1 doubt would have set in and wolves would have been all over us.

The amount of times I've heard this in the last few weeks, one of you will have to tell me how you're travelling to alternate realities as I'd love to see it for myself.

In this example it's obviously opinion, based on the fact that away wins under Poch for the last year were rarer than rocking horse shit.
It's not exactly a radical opinion to hold.
