You miss both points
1 everyone has an opinion
2 I only read the word disgusting, I have to confess, but I was disgusted with the defeatist talk and tactical approach- plenty of others were too?

Since the Son announcement he’s gone off the rails
Has he? He has stuck by his players and also, supposedly to the delight of our own, made sure he has highlighted when our own players are performing poorly ... Off the rails? Hyperbole.

I do think exhaustion was a factor to our limp display against Chelsea, we luckily had 8 days between then and Wolves, lets see if we are offered something different with that amount of rest. If we are then it will be evidence that fatigue is going to be a huge factor in our season with there now being a lack of depth and we will need to manage it and choose what games we put our energy into wisely. If its another display like against Chelsea then I'll be concerned that we have problems with how we are approaching games tactically. Lets not forget Jose had next to no time to adapt to Son being injured with 2 games coming so quickly after Villa.

After all were tearing it up and playing such scintillating football before son got injured.

It's about time we implemented a winter break like they do on the continent.

I’m really beginning to hate the term “he’s a winner”.

It’s getting on my tits.

The last time Jose was genuinely successful was what a decade ago?
If for some daft reason you're ignoring the trophies he won at Utd, he won the league and was manager of the year in 2015.

What do you mean by "genuinely successful"?

He won the League cup and Europa League 3 years ago with a pretty average Man Utd team.

Last time he won the league was 5 years ago with Chelsea.

To put it in perspective, we last won the league in 1961. In fact, Mourinho has won more in his career than Tottenham have won in their entire history. So yes he is a "winner".

I'm just gutted we missed out on Marco Silva at the time we sacked Poch. Ralf Hasenhuttl is a close second.

So united where he spent an absolute fortune including a world record fee on pogba. All to win the Mickey Mouse cup and europa league?

Or Chelsea where he spent a fortune again?

Everytime he has won the league he has been the biggest if not the second biggest spender, he will never be that here.

He doesn’t improve players he buys them then falls out with them.

And let’s not forget he also sold KDB and Sarah.... what a great manager this man is

People want to win this don't they? Fuck spreadsheets and money in the bank and new stadiums, they want this for the glory ... Don't you?

So united and Chelsea? Would either of these fans want him back?

No because it all comes at a cost

I mean I'd say winning two trophies and finishing second behind City with a dog of a United squad was pretty successful.

No I don’t. I want to enjoy watching football every weekend, I want to be entertained. I want us to hammer Liverpool, Real Madrid and united.

Not surrendering and sitting camped outside our box

Fair play mate. Probably be easier to put a VHS on of the best days of the mullet Francis. Memories and all that.

Those clubs are used to winning titles and CL's and picking up the domestic cups for fun.

We've won the square root of fuck all for 30 years and the club desperately needs silverware.

It is not the same scenario.

Does anybody feel like me in that Tim Sherwood after his spell at Tottenham and how it failed abysmally should keep his mouth shut about Mourinho . Even tho he might be right in his assessment if you put his management CV alongside Jose's CV there just is nothing to compare
Because as a manager Sherwood has achieved nothing and a bit of respect would not go amiss.
It just confirms my opinion of Sherwood he is a Knobhead .
Sherwood might be a knobhead, but its difficult to argue with some of his observations though.

Haha dog of a united squad. Remind me how much he paid for pogba and lukaku. Plus the 2 centre backs. Plus matic.

If that squad was dog then it’s his fault

Why. Only have to go back 2 years where all of these things happened. Jose is old hat. The football that is being played at the likes of RB, Liverpool, city even Leicester is the way I like to watch football being played.

Jose isn’t capable of playing like that

You're bang on, but there have been a number of chairman over the last decade who have been seduced into paying him vast amounts of money for him to take their club to the promised land..

Ok.

Put on the season where we finished second and the day the rainbow came out.

You're trolling, it's fine, it's actually pretty good. I'm impressed.

Enjoy.
