The turtle has just said the reason why there not playing attacking football is that the opposition play with 10 men behind the ball and its difficult to attack

haha...

I am aware of how the mighty have fallen but wow, just had a look on the upcoming 3pm fixtures for this saturday and wondering which one I'll watch... not to long ago I would've chosen Uniteds match for entertainment purposes but now I'm thinking of watching the Leicester Vs. Watford match over the Rags game :/

I genuinely think this match between two clubs which were in the Championship just last season would put on a better show than the Rag matches which have been sending me to sleep.

Isn't that the whole point of the game of association rules football? Figuring how to put the ball in the opposition net.

Mourinho is a despicable character but summed up United by saying

'A team that likes to play football without any goals on the pitch'.

We've had to put up with teams parking the bus, so has the old piss can back in the day. Surely when he was manager of Bayern Munich he came up against teams playing for a draw every week?

What he means is that they've been used to teams cowering before their greatness and lubing up before the match has even kicked off. They're not any more and they don't have a clue what to do about it.

Generally when you spend the entire match passing it round your back 4 that will happen.

Saw some stat which said that around 70% of their passes were either backwards or sideways! Would love to know what out stat is or even teams like Watford or Sunderland.

The other 30% are mostly hoofs up to the toilet utensil as well.

I think you will find Leicester were not in the Championship last season.

You know why I thought that? because I was unaware of Ranieri being in the Prem last season.
Just forgetfulness.

The point still stands though. Utd are fucking dreadful to watch. I'd rather watch Watford and Leicester than the Vermin.

Reminds me of this gem from Anelka;

“My career at Arsenal was going from strength to strength until the day I crossed Vieira, who was better known in the Arsenal dressing room as ‘Le Long.’ I was playing against Fulham at Highbury and I remember receiving a ball from Bergkamp, then rounding the keeper with ease and, with the goal wide open, somehow managing to screw the ball wide at the last minute. It only happened because the sun was in my eyes. It wasn’t my fault! Anyway Vieira gave me a glare and I knew I was in trouble, afterwards in the showers he tore into me and I just snapped, I knew I shouldn’t have, but I called him a ‘lanky limbed boombaclart.’

At first he just stared at me with his hollow eyes. Then…..WHAM!

Just like that he slapped me across the face with his penis. Just once. But it knocked me back a few steps. It was like being struck by a wet kipper. No one could believe what they saw! Can you imagine how embarrassing it is to be smacked across the face with a 14″ pork sword in front of your team mates? It was the worst moment of my life. No one said anything for what seemed like an eternity, the silence was only broken when Ashley Cole asked “Is it my turn?” It was then I knew I had to leave. When Wenger found out what he’d done he merely high fived him and shouted “And that’s why he’s the captain. POW! Look at that thing!”
