I spoke to a civilised rag (true story) this morning and asked if he'd seen Big Nose's dive last night. He replied 'which one? it was embarrassing'. he also reckons Moaninho has been upsetting players again. Glory be!
I'd agree with him to be honest, it's a bit unfair of you to expect an answer to that question without identifying any particular dive, it was obviously a major tactical device for them in the last 20 minutes.
 
I'm surprised how negative the RedCafe thread on him is.

They're very unhappy about his treatment of Martial and Shaw, the fact Ibrahimovic and Pogba seem to be above reproach even when they play badly, and the use of Rooney.

1 win in 5, and that was against Reading, so I suppose it's been building, but this was the first time I'd looked on there for 6 weeks or so and the difference is astounding.

Come on, they beat the might of Wigan as well.
 
I hate untied as much as anyone but they are only just behind us by 4 points, are generally more consistent in defense, will get a lot more decisions from the refs, will suffer less lenghty bans, will have their best players protected from injury more by the refs ...so all in all we should still worry about them. I want to laugh at them too but not yet. :-)
 
I can't see them sacking him. First of all, it would cost a fortune to get rid of him, second they would have to admit they were wrong and thirdly who else would they go for?
Sacked after beating Soton on penalties following a boring 0-0

Piss Can installed to get them into the CL. All of a sudden the referee's become compliant again.

Don't think it would cost them a fortune to get rid of him, I'm sure they have break clauses in the managers contracts based on performance - the timing of tactical turtle and gollum's sackings would suggest so - both sacked as soon as possible once champions league qualification was definitely gone.
 
When he first arrived in the UK, I thought, that's a smart, well turned out bloke.
Now all he needs is snot and vomit dribbled down his Primark fleece, a lurcher on a piece of string,
and a prime spot at the top of Deansgate to complete his latest sartorial incarnation.

Liking your work.
 

I'm so glad there was no twitter and shit when I was a teenager. Just picture a load of white spotty skinny teenage boys doing a "Crouch dance" to Axel F or the Miami Vice theme music.

Thinking of Robot dances...maybe we could have a song for our strike force ....nananananana19...

Mourinho will have a much, much better contract then those 2. Remember that Moyes was, well he was Moyes wasn't he? Desperate for his shot at a big club, he'd have done it for free.

LVG was in need of a way back into club football and was always seen as short term, they were still trying to get Pep at the time and sacking him would have been in the back of their minds all along.

Mourinho on the other hand, they were desperate. Desperate for a saviour, for the instant success he (supposedly) brings, for a star name to rival Pep, Klopp and Conte. For a new dynasty.

I bet his contract, and the contract of his large backroom staff, is iron clad & stacked massively in his favour. Anyway, we all know it's not the United way to sack a manager anyway, so why would they care?

Not too sure he will be in a better position than either, Mourinho's stock was pretty much at an all time low after the debacle at Chelsea last year (didn't hear many noises about any other big clubs being interested) and Moyes was the one who got a 6 year deal when they still thought there was some magical "un*ted way' that guaranteed them success. Regardless, like anyone in the top echelons of a major business, he's going to have minimal targets to hit and if he doesn't hit them he'll be in danger of losing his job.

There is an element that he's too toxic and associated with Real to go to Spain, Bayern have more sense, and nowhere else can afford him. All the other top PL sides had plans laid down, so he had no real options.

I think they'll spend a wad of cash this summer, Griezmann and a few other big names will go there IMO. For me, with this clown in charge they'll always be teetering on the edge.

Listening to United fans they're appalled with the football, some even want the bloke sacked. If they don't make top four then it'd be hilarious but would also burn a huge hole in their pocket.
