Manchester United 18/19: finishing second best

[twistedAM]

PSG, Chelsea and Liverpool next, which will be... fun. Could lose all 3, could win all 3. Been a long time since the latter has even been a possibility. Even if they do lose some of these, I suspect they'll do it playing in a way that doesn't leave you in despair.

Or draw all three because Chelsea can't possibly be as bad as on Sunday. As a City fan I wouldn't mind you beating Liverpool but in a way a draw would be fine as they could end up not winning the league despite losing less games than City cueing angry tweets from Dublin, Oslo and various SE postcodes demanding the Premiership change their rules.

Maybe look in the FFP mirror before you start moaning about rule changes eh.

Already did. You're now relying on changes to rule changes.

We are? Last I checked we're even on points with a game in hand, and with dare I say an easier run on paper.

Cockney Reds sir. Thousands of em.

#SackSolskjaer a thing yet?

 

[chilango]

Sadly, it's a fair score. Once we lost Lingard and Martial we were never in it

 

[rekil]

Goner Solskjaer.

 

[chilango]

Goner Solskjaer.

Nah.

Not his fault here.

Just shows the limits of where we are.

Could not watch the game but sounds like a fair result?

Can't see Utd turning this around in France with no Pogba. Not impossible but a big ask.

First half was pretty even, second half with the changes & with the threat of Martial removed PSG lost any tentativeness. Their midfield were very fast, Veratti cute, Mbappe lighting quick, & their defence reassuringly solid. 1-3 in Paris. Allez les rouges.

 

[chilango]

Yeah, first 30 minutes was pretty even imo. We looked as good as them. They were a bit on the up towards half-time, but catchable. Losing Lingard and Martial killed us. Mata and Sanchez offered no threat at all and so we were on the back foot from then and PSG could play.

We weren't "bad". Our midfield was fine. Defence ok. But showed the level of our squad really.

I really can’t stand that Glory Glory Man United song they play over the PA ever game, it’s so naff like those old 70s fa cup songs teams used to do on top of the pops.

Blimey. Almost £20 million to sack Mourinho and his crew.

Manchester United have confirmed that sacking former manager Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff cost them a total of £19.6m after prematurely terminating their employment. The £19.6m figure has been formally disclosed under 'exceptional items' in the club's latest set of financial results for the second quarter of the 2018/19 season. Reports in December had estimated that Mourinho was personally entitled to around £15m in compensation.

Cheap at half the price!

Wish I could get a clause written into my employment contract to guarantee me a few million if I turn out to be a failure.

Add the Chelsea payouts ( apparantly Madrid havent relased any figures) and he has netted about £50m in being sacked

That explains a lot. Fair play to him.

And people say he’s not a tactical genius

And people say he’s not a tactical genius

And not one micron of embarrassment as he pushes the wheelbarrows of cash round his house hotel suite. I almost admire that in the sociopathic twat. Almost.

 

[The39thStep]

he's on Russia Todays books as well

Mourinho and Galloway discuss Stalin’s heroic struggle against subversive doctors

 

[Wilf]

He also supported the election of the current president of Portugal, Rebelo de Sousa (right winger, anti abortionist).

 

[Shechemite]

That Mourinho is a bit a twat

 

[The39thStep]

Funny bloke de Sousa, despite his views (and the govt is actually a Soc Party/Communist Party/Left Block troika) hes very popular as he does a lot of community work feeding homeless, turning up to local tragedies like fires, and never seems to take any bodyguards with him.Always talks to the locals.

A smashing victory at the Bridge tonight especially after the PSG schooling, surely Ole Gunnar should be given the job, he has revitalised this club!

 

[chilango]

Was an absolute joy to watch last night from the first kick to the post-match interviews.

Loving it under Solskjaer.
