If Manure come looking for CH, and I'm sure you would never want to lose him, don't EVER consider a swap deal !

It was a dream made in heaven - England's biggest club and England's most successful coach of recent times since Sir Alex. Then along comes Pep and pisses all over United's chips.

Not only that, but Citeh are getting the sort of love for their football that United never got, even in the heady days of Giggs, Scholes and Cantona, a nationwide love not seen for one side since the great Liverpool side of the late 70s / early 80s.

Rated him when he first came over here back in 2004, was a really good manager. Now he is just an absolute miserable **** and had great joy of singing '**** off Mourinho' and 'you're not special anymore' at Old Trafford

Agreed, there was a time I really liked him, he is now just a grumpy old fool.

Breath of fresh air when he first came over.
Now a serious case of halitosis.

I agree with a lot of the comments about Mourinho and his personality. All I would say in his defence though is that Man United aren't actually doing too badly this season. They've got 41 points from 18 games and are comfortably through in the Champions League. At this stage last season they would have been just four points off the top of the PL table. It's a very decent record. The problem they've got is that Man City are absolutely phenomenal and will surely go the whole season unbeaten with 100 points on the board for the first time in PL history. So in comparison United look poor, but is it really fair to judge them/Mourinho against possibly the best team of all time?

Yes totally.

Because Man City are not the greatest team of all time yet.
Real Madrid in the 60s
Liverpool 70s/80s
Barcelona last several years .

They have a long way to go to match them.

Interesting theory posited by The Football Ramble - that he's become bitter ever since missing out on the Barca job to Pep. In his shadow ever since, pretty much.

They also said something about him going from the guy people love to hate to the guy they just hate (did someone say it about Clough?). This is about right i think.

I have always disliked Man U but had a grudging respect for the Giggs, Kancheskis, Cantona era teams, they were incredible to watch.

Ferguson was unlikeable but was on a different planet as a manager to Mourinho.

mourinho is a better manager than ferguson

 

[Is it PotG?]

Giggs, Kanchelskis, Cantona era teams.

Could do a job

A side full of big names lost to Bristol City.

He might have said "Well played, you deserved it and we were outplayed".

No, "You were lucky".

Classy.

IMHO, what he said was the truth. United weren't outplayed and BC did get lucky. And he went on to say some nice things about what it means for them and how special nights like that are for football. Didn't see anything wrong with his interview although I, like many others, are growing tired of his general displays of grumpiness.

Am I living in a parallel universe to you?

Pretty much everyone I know finds their abuse of wealth to buy success, exactly what’s wrong with football.

Nationwide love?

Lucky a strikeforce worth about 200 million couldn’t score against a championship team ?

Thought he was, as usual, being a patronising wanker.

 

[Mayonaise]

He was often dour but seems to have taken being a miserable git to the next level!

Any football fan had to respect that United team, but would neutrals go out of their way to watch them? This City team is destroying teams on a weekly basis and if they are on I will watch them - normally if it's not Brighton I wouldn't give a sh1t.

Isn't Fergie time a bitch, two games running bet Leicester (with 10 men) were lucky like Bristol City were

Who will the snarling eye gouger JM blame for the two lost points in his press conference?
