To be fair that seems a little harsh on the manager as he was extremely unhappy about our recruitment and preparation to the season - he wanted us to improve and kick on but wasn't remotely backed.Did he fuck.
We were so bad the following season for one major reason, we were still celebrating.
Seriously, from fans to manager to players to board, we'd all just gone through the biggest and most epic title race ever and came out of it in the greatest way possible.
We were never going to be normal after that. Took us a year to settle down and we never stood a chance of mounting a title challenge the following year. Had United beat us to it, they'd have probably fared better than us tbh because they'd won it before.
Us? We lost the plot. Simple as.
A year later the dust settled and Fergie realised he'd caught a lucky break and us and Chelsea were shaping up to dominate.
Before that malodorous, reptilian-looking çunt took over at the swamp I merely disliked the rags. But my dislike exploded almost overnight into a vicious, bordering-on-psychotic hatred for them, especially when he started mouthing off: insulting us and our history, abusing referees and linesmen, cheating, lying, and treating the British media like it was his own fucking personal plaything.
There are numerous stories about his general shithousery, but one I will never forget (and one I will never tire of reminding people) is when that obnoxious son of his was sacked as 'manager' of Preston he withdrew all of the rag players PNE had on loan, and persuaded that utter waste of atoms Tony Pulls to do likewise, effectively guaranteeing relegation for Preston.
Evra using the Suarez defence? Interesting.
Brutal
Jose Mourinho:
"Paul Scholes criticised me when I was the manager at some of the biggest clubs in the world while he only lasted for 31 days at Oldham Athletic. Go back to the studio."
Thanks. Never fails to lift my spirits. Truly an iconic pic.
