Watching the highlights, the rags are well and truly screwed. They're trying to play Pep style football with no Pep players. When Pep came to us it took 2 years for him to weed out the players that wouldn't suit his system and for the penny to drop for a lot of the others what he wanted from them. Ddg started trying to play the ball out from the back, realised the defenders and midfielders kept losing the ball and ended up punting it to no-one. To play the way he wants them to they need ball playing players throughout the team, and we know how hard it is to find and recruit the right players. In the mean time he'll lose the dressing room because they don't see the bigger picture, specially when the results don't go their way. The players that aren't up to it (most of them) will start to feel pushed out. We saw with Leeds & Bielsa that the style of football doesn't work in the Prem if you don't have the right players. We've seen from De Jong that the right players don't want to go to them, so they'll end up over paying. Overall they're screwed, and I'm loving it!

Took him one year 2nd year we bought 4/5 players and won the league

Five league titles, two FA Cups, five Charity Shields, two of which were shared, and one European Cup (according to Wikipedia).

This was a time, when there wasn’t as much money swilling around in the game, so teams were more equal and players didn’t move between clubs as much.

He also rebuilt the rags after the Munich air disaster.

Even the most rabid anti-rag Blue should acknowledge what a great job he did at the swamp.

2 times in there history they dominated, half there history they’ve be average at best!

They like signing our ex players eh? Rabiot being the latest.

Something else to wind them up about later.

These idiotic rags blaming the owners for not investing…..WTF? They have had millions given to them by the Glazers for players every season. Idiots.

You actually watch that!? I can’t be arsed with there false moaning just to get more views to make more money

There are still 37 games to go but can I just point out they they beat Brighton at home last season while we drew at West Ham. So we're already 5 points up on them over last season.
