Just saying like

Manchester United are the unluckiest team in the Premier League, says manager Jose Mourinho.

United were denied victory over Arsenal at Old Trafford as substitute Olivier Giroud headed an 89th-minute equaliser after Juan Mata's opener.

They have now won just one of their past six Premier League games.

Mourinho said: "I have nothing to say against my players, but I feel sorry for them because we feel like a defeat and Arsenal is feeling like a victory."

He added: "If we just focus on [draws against] Burnley, Stoke and Arsenal - nine points easily. If we had those six points more we are top four and close to the top of the league."

"We all know inside that in this moment we are the unlucky team in the Premier League."

United remain sixth in the league table, five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal who are two points behind leaders Liverpool.

SIX points behind l'Arse.

I actually thought they played very,very well yesterday.

Arsenal did their usual shitting of themselves and in no way deserved that goal or point(no complaints here though!).

Losing that win in the manner in which they did, with a minute to go, will hopefully be the thing that breaks them. That win would have been terrible for us wanting them to fall off a cliff.

See I've had this conversation with a few rags last night. They were all delighted with their display.
I thought they were poor asides for 25 minutes or so.
They had 25 minutes of high tempo hit and hope football but other than that I thought the game was poor and low quality.

Arsenal as you say were shite and bottled it.

I really don't see a system or style that United are even trying to play to.

The more rational rags I know, some are very concerned.

Great news.

Has anyone yet recognized the opposition is better now? The entire front office has sat on their corpulent, know-nothing asses, and assumed that the attractions of 659 mm fans worldwide and a crapload of cash would salve all the wounds. While they lazed around, everyone around them has gotten better. This isn't just or even mostly the manager -- this is a permanent problem at their club until they figure out they need to spend several years reinvesting -- in youth, in the academy, in a manager and players who aren't fly-by-night mercenaries and/or has-beens and/or idiots. Long may their blindness last.
 
There blindness isn't anything new , even back in the 80's they were fucking arrogant and saw themselves bigger than the then all conquering great Liverpool team, we get 55000 fans each week blah blah blah - these days it's just accelerated to new heights, they think they are on the level with the likes of Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern - i take great pleasure in reminding them how many European Cups they have won- they were a pimple on the arse of European football from 1968 to the mid 90's. They talk about the class of 92 like it was 5 years ago when in fact it's nearly 25 years ago.

They have always been fucking arrogant, as you say it's there blind spot and there are half a dozen teams in this league alone better than them on the pitch.

****s
