  1. Post match vs Liverpool

    Don't want to intrude on private grief and all that, and I'm truly not trying to wind anyone up, I'm not sure that the problem is your players - how do you expect guys like CR7 to feel when they see that there is no protection for their defence? The absence of a spoiling midfield player to break...
  2. Nabil Fekir

    I think this is probably due to the effect Klopp has on seemingly 'good' players - he improved Coutinho, and has transformed Firmino, Salah, Mane and Chamberlain (none of whom was a target for any of the clubs you mention). All of these were good players before he coached them - but are now all...
  3. Jose Mourinho | 2017/18 Assessments | Poll Added

    The thing with Jose is that no matter who he's in charge of, and no matter what they do/don't achieve the story will always be about HIM. I understand that you need marque managers, and that after the virtual anonymity of Moyes and LVG United needed to raise the profile of their manager - but...
  4. Should Jose suffer the same fate....

    I think the key thing for me is that the Chelsea squad that Conte has walked the league with (and may add the FA Cup) is the same one (with the addition of David Luiz) that had a mare of a season last year and got Jose the sack, their football having changed from sterile to expansive in the...
  5. Jose | Water(bottle)gate and refs in zoos

    The real concern here is that Mourinho has become the story - not the club or team. Every top club with a high profile manager gets a bit of that - but not to anything like this extent, and the reason is that he relentlessly plays up to it. This will not strengthen United, because now he has a...
  6. Why is Jose so miserable these days?

    There was widespread opposition to his appointment on here because of his antics at Chelsea and RM, If he had been appointed 5 years ago, nobody would have considered it a gamble, he was then the darling of the London-based media, and no-one had any ammunition against him, now though the mood is...
  7. BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

    (As a Liverpool fan), as some have rightly said, we know all there is to know about gradual downfall - over the past three years you've been doing it a lot less gradually! Moyes was a fairly predictable mistake, LVG far less predictable, but I seriously cannot think of a top-flight manager less...
  8. Suarez

    This all gets very difficult because I remember reading that Suarez has a black grandmother.......
  9. Suarez

    Everyone needs to 'calm down' and remember that the only reason they feel this way is that Suarez does not play for your team. Fans will forgive almost everything of a supremely talented player who is a star in their team. The current hysteria is nonsense - the ball jumped up towards...
  10. e-petition to release the govt Hillsborough files

    The Hillsborough issue is such a complicated and sensitive one that you really need to get acquainted with the facts by reading all of the excellent websites and journo's blogs, this will answer all of your questions. The Lord Justice Taylor enquiry completely and officially exonorated the fans...
  11. e-petition to release the govt Hillsborough files

    Sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has posted - its fantastic to know that in spite of (or perhaps because of) our differences we can unite on such a level.
  12. You know how Liverpool have always talked about United's 'big' spending?

    I think this is a good shout. Missing out on Europa will possibly turn out to be a blessing (Kenny was successful at Liverpool domestically as a manager when the club was banned from Europe), and the aim has to be top 4 next season, which will not be an easy task. To put the spending in...
  13. The what we could have done against Barca thread...

    I find it absolutely staggering that so many people seem to buy the line that United lost because "Barcelona are the best team in the world", maybe they are, but winning football matches is all about turning over teams even if they are technically better than you. I'm a Liverpool fan and I've...
  14. Daglish Predictably Gets A Three Year Contract

    (sighs) Morons are morons (whichever team they claim to support) I wouldn't attempt to justify it or wish to be associated with it. Of course there were heroes at Munich, any decent person with a heart and soul knows and freely acknowledges this. I was a little kid, aged eight growing up in...
