Just had a brief scan at their forum. I say brief because it makes me feel queasy if I stay on there too long.

There are some deluded Rag's on there, and you can call me a sadist if you like, but their suffering is my pleasure.

I do the same TMT and I glow like fuck when I read of their demise , plus the hatred of Pep by some idiots.
As Dell Boy would say... loverly jubberly.

 

[CharliesRightPeg]

I think that De Gea has saved them a substantial number of points. Someone else in net and they would be double figures less in points.

According to these, they'e 12 goals to the good thanks to de gea and that's 14 points better off ...

Remind me again how only a deluded bitter idiot would say they're getting worse?

Only deluded idiots would watch them winning games and claim they are getting worse. I like your logic though, when they are winning there is a defence to claim they are getting worse but when they lose a game bang that's it they must be getting worse. Last night was fantastic although for me it was lost in the first leg going ultra defensive against quite an average side. Tactically over two legs they got it horribly wrong which was a joy to see. I enjoy them losing as much as anyone, I just don't bury my head in the sand over their abilities.

Just remembered Herrera's comments.

"To win the Champions League would be enormous for us. Massive.

“So if you said City win the title and we win the Champions League this time, I would sign that document right now.

You won't be signing fuck all you gobby cùnt.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Rag tactics are route one to the big man and flick on. Perfect for non league! But in the champions league at a cost of 500 million quid it is quite pathetic.

They didn’t even try that though, to be fair. Watching it I actually had no idea what the ‘plan’ was which, for a ‘tactical genius’, was hard to fathom.

 

[goalmole]

Just watching Mourinho's post match press conference on Sky. I don't know if it's just me but he looks and sounds like he's been crying.

 

[Rolee]

Come on Brighton!

 

[jimharri]

It's weird. For some reason, which I can't figure out, people in work today are avoiding me. These are the same people who were very keen to talk to me on the morning after the Wigan game.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Come on Brighton!

please god

 

[MillionMilesAway]

I'm almost certain he'll leave If Madrid shows any interest.

The look on his face are the end of that was priceless. He had that 'im done caring about this shit' look in his face.

But then again, it could just be his natural calmness :)

How many years are left on his contract? Real may have other areas to rebuild as well, and it's going to be expensive.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Caf quote.. at least someone gets it.

We could buy Messi and he'd look like Benteke. Our scattergun transfer strategy is abysmal.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

18 Months I think. If he stays another year, he'll end up going on a free. Great news for him in the contract stakes.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Luckhurst has tweeted:
Mourinho was also asked (in Spanish): 'Eliminated from the Carabao Cup, out of the title and now out of the Champions League, would that be considered a failure by #mufc?' Mourinho: 'Are you really interested, being the Spanish press, in the intricacies of our own league season?'

The word you're looking for, Josie, is 'yes'.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

18 Months I think. If he stays another year, he'll end up going on a free. Great news for him in the contract stakes.

That's what I thought - just next season. Sell for 40M or risk losing him?

That calmness obviously deserted him for their second, flap flap, flappy.

He was hugging Sevilla players at the end with a big smile across his chops.

I don't really watch enough of them to know but if you took that performance in isolation you'd have to suspect that he's lost much of that dressing room. Certainly pogba looks like he doesn't want to play for him, presumably those rumours of a fall out were true and absolutely no doubt pogba holds a lot of sway in that dressing room. I think we are very much seeing the beginning of the end for mourinho there, it's all unravelling as it usually does with him after a couple of years.

He's bought into the Swamp mentality. Season starts they're gobbing about the maximum number of trophies, two, three, four, before they even have one under their belt. We've had four poured onto us this season because it was feasible. No talk from inside City - just win the next game. But MANUre, club and fans, will never jettison the notion of entitlement, and before the first transfer window closes they're counting the pots.

 

[KS55]

It's all City's fault. Pep ruining football since 2016.

 

[PragueBlue]

Still surprises me that some people still buy into this master tactician nonsense with him. Mourinho's tactics are very similar to those of Pulis. He just has better individuals to do it with.
