The thing is, until very recently wasn't that one of the secretes to Jose's success,players would run through brick walls for him. He would build amazing team spirit? The issue is not with the manager, its with the club philosophy. The manager should be trusted over the player, Ferguson who is regarded as one of the greatest managers had run ins with Ince, Stam, Beackham, RVN and Kean, save the last name all were still very much in there prime and all were shipped out because there is only room for one chief in the dressing room and he can't seen to have his authority undermined. If you wanted to play for united it was because ferguson willed it so, if you you crossed the boss, you where out , again because Ferguson willed it so. No other manager now will get this kind of power and there for every manager will be subject to whims of the players

Not terminal by any means, if we can keep it here for 10 mins it's still anyone's tie

This is a better keeper then the hard last year

Man for ma they are a bit better then us, but take in to account are form this season and they should be firm favourites

Mikel needed to go out to Baba there

Don't think to center mids was the way to go.

This guy needs his one thread... http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10170006/man-utd-should-replace-louis-van-gaal-with-tim-sherwood-says-paul-parker

The city board effectively cost city the title. How can people who get paid so much be so stupid

Wenger at it again, is there a player with any success that he didn't spot first, (rumor has it he just missed out on Pele as well) http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/10166939/arsenal-manager-says-he-watched-ngolo-kante-when-the-midfielder-was-a-youngster

He's quick but i think DB once refered to him as the Spanish Aaron Lennon and some times it doesn't look far off

Happy to accept the argument he should still be with us but saying it's the most gutting treatment of a player, I think it does a disservice to those that were legend's

Well this is history being re written if ever I've seen it. Casillas was not dropped entirely by Jose. He was used for the majority of the league games. He was dropped for CL games. A pattern that followed after Jose left... Yes nice affable Carlo also dropped him. For CL games, and shock, cassilas was still at real after Jose left, so it wasn't Jose that forced him out. Let's add to the fact the rift between the two existed because casillas would leak dressing room information to his wife who worked in the media. Even taking the last bit as a rumor the rest is fact and makes your point, well mute... Stop trying to make up history

Chef, I loved mata but come one, kerry dixon, Lampard, Robbie D?

I think the philipino superstar is putting it a bit strongly but I do agree with him. It's not uncommon knolage that mate wasn't to keen on fighting for his place. Jose told him about the offer and asked him if he wanted to leave, maya said yes and that was done

It's a no from me. I don't think you can play him and cesc in the same team unless you can some how get maca to merge with essien and create the ultimate defensive shield. Again, Jose took a lot of flack when he sold him but look at the facts, we won the league a year later at a canter and Mata in 5 years in English football has never played for a team that has seriously contested the title, despite those two teams being Chelsea and United. I'm not saying we wouldn't have won the title had we kept mata but its almost impossible to make a seriouse case for it being a mistake to sell him and ergo, as much as the little fella will always have a place in my heart we need different things right now. BTW I was majorly in the no camp with selling him in the first place

I played on a pitch (21 as well) thst was to muddy, I tried a double drag on my standing foot got stuck in the mud while my decided to follow my body around. I knew it was ligaments straight away, knee swelled like crazy, had to be sedated on the way to hospital. The ER doctor got it all ring and said I'd strained it. 6 months later I was still on crutches and the did and mri realising that both my cruciet and lateral ligament was torn. I was advised to work on my quads but my knee had no stability so it kept jumping out.. Eventually I got am operation and haven't dislocated since. In terms of treatment I had NHS intensive physio therapy 5 days a week for 3 months. Took me 18 months to play football again. I tried a few times before but just didn't have the movement. Zouma will have the full attention of the best in the business at restoring all the supporting muscles. As for the hamstring, I asked this question at the time of my op, I think some one told me about some kind of harvested solution. If you consider the players mentioned before, Joe Cole, never the same, essien, a shadow of his former self

I've had the ACL surgery, and little claim to fame, it was the same doctor who did RVNs surgery. Me personally I can say I have never been the same, but I'm not a proff football player with the after care they receive. I did have my hamstring grafted and I can tell you there is no way a professional athlete will have the same. It's like creating anout injury.

Thoughts are straigt to zouma who will be out for the rest of the season but hopefully this doesn't affect the lads career as these injuries can

Going to City is like being Bayarn in Pro, it proves only that he's a very one dimensional and predictable manager and man. For me his time at bayarn has been a failure. The only thing that worrys me is we end up with Pela

Thought he was pretty damd good for a 20 year old playing his first full game. His touch and decision making when in possession where excellent. For any one who think's the defensive side of his game was lacking. Spend some time watchng Pogba because that is what you wan't us to spend 70 mill on

I have had some sh*ty, moments over the years, obvusly some great ones as well, every team will be on that merry go round, getting thumped by United in the cup final, Moscow, barca last min goal but these are things that live outside of our control by and large as a club. So the things that hurt me the most are actually those f**k ups of our own making. It seems only chelsea can really do this in such style, selling dixon should have been a pretty good clue, the sacking of gullit when we where so close, Jose the first time around, Jose this time... But one if the most horrendous moments for me as a Chelsea fan was watching frank heald aloft in sky blue at the end of last season. In no way do a I begrudge him the send of, but it should have been in royal chelsea blue, we will never get that moment again and now it seems we will have to suffer it with JT as well

It's not done yet.... surly some solid support can sort this out

I'm fuming

I go through a Journey, with players like Pato, the same journey I went through with Veron, and with Falcou, never with Torres mind. When the name first gets mentioned, I prey to g-d it’s a rumor. Hate the Idea that it could be true and we are so arrogant to believe we can fix a busted flush. Then as it becomes more realistic I start to create an undeniable argument in my head that convinces me they will be a success. I watch the you tube compilations of their glory days and I start to Imagine then doing it in a Chelsea shirt. Right now I’m starting to think that Pato can become our Aguero… But then they pull on the shirt and start to play, and then they play like turd, and then they get injured and we think they were never fully fit, but the truth is they were just a busted flush and we should have never been in the pot in the first place.

I'm. Yet to see any offical confirmation
