No! No! No!

#SOTT ended with the scumbags winning the FA Cup for the first time in over a decade.

I don't want that Portuguese eye-gouging twat to win a point, let alone a trophy.

I'm out!

Agreed.

It will lead to them beating the dippers on pens in the EFL final.

You do know that it isn't a top four anymore and that it's now a top 8. And they are closer to the bottom 3 than they are to the top 3. And all to the tune of 180m ha ha ha ha. Is Mourinho a time traveller because he's taking them backwards.

Well at least it will never be the top twenty as the Radio one will sue Sky.

It's all about the short-term, financial impact with them now.

High profile manager - guarantees exposure & column inches.
High profile players - commercial opportunities plus keeps them relevant (in their view) in the eyes of fans and the media.

They realised that Moyes was Baconface's way of sticking up two fingers to the Glazers so he went. Turtle had some credibility as a manager but even in a season where most "top" teams performed poorly he couldn't get them in the top four so he went.

Peg came in among great excitement that they finally had the right manager, that would be winning things for them. But he was already damaged goods and the more perceptive knew if would be all about him rather than about the team. And so it's proved & I really don't think he'll see the season out.

Their squad is a mess, with so few players who you'd guarantee a starting place to. Pogba should be one of those but he's hardly hit the ground running. If Donut Dave goes then they're truly screwed. Apart from him, possibly Mata and (in theory) Pogba, there's not one player you look at and think "Yeah I'd have them in our squad".

Bailly - might develop into a good defender in time. Might not.
Jones - a Championship standard player.
Rojo - utter dogshit.
Smalling - OK at best but very inconsistent.
Blind - if he's the answer, what's the question?
Shaw - fat and dogshit. Navas ran him ragged.
Darmian - see Rojo.
Valencia - technically good but getting on.
Schweinsteiger - too old and frozen out
Schneiderlin - not a patch on the player he was at Southampton and peripheral.
Pogba - ludicrously over-priced plus they've no idea what to do with him.
Depay - who?
Martial - initial promise not sustained.
Fellaini - very limited player.
Carrick - good player but old and can only do so much.
Herrera - OK but not really proved himself.
Mata - about the only one who can make things happen.
Lingard - OK. Might be quite good if he can sustain his form.
Young - like Valencia but not as good.
Rooney - finished.
Ibrahimovic - great player but getting on and nothing around him to help him out.
Rashford - looks good so far but can't carry them on his own. Plus their wonderkids have a habit of fizzling out.

And that's after spending £400m in the last 3 seasons. It's an absolute fucking mess (thank goodness) and they need to start again from the bottom up. Let's hope though that they continue to throw good money after bad.

I think the best way to sum their team up would be this....

Which 1 player from that above list would City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool take to replace an existing 1st team regular player..??

Its a toughey.
 
Granada Reports just showed Bryan Robson speaking out for Mourinho at the unveiling of United's latest bedding and pillow partner. How apt for a guy who's probably pissed a few in his time.
