  1. Have you ever been in a court room? I'm guessing not.
  2. It's an "almighty opinion" because you're being called out for calling Milan of all clubs a small club? Listen to yourself. Almost like calling United a small club because of their recent wobbles post Fergie. Despite the relegation and mid table finishes, you can't even call a club like Newcastle a small club, much less Milan. There's no need to try to change the meaning of "small club", you're just using the wrong phrase. It's that simple.
  3. Maybe learn to not twist what other fans are saying as well?
  4. Classic case of when stats don't tell the whole story
  5. I quite like this actually.
  6. Also scored more than last season despite playing less games.
  7. Not strange at all. Griezmann can play in the hole of a 4-2-3-1, which is Jose's favourite formation.
  8. JT in his prime was a top 3, at worst top 5 CB in Europe and at times you could have called him the very best. One half of arguably the greatest CB pairing in Premier League history. Wtf has VVD done in his short career to ever be compared to prime JT? f**k whatever stats you're looking at.
  9. I actually thought you were being sarcastic. You seriously used the word "small club" and Milan in the same sentence? They may have experienced a tough time over the last 5 years but that is utterly disrespectful and borderline delusional to say. 48 trophies including 18 league titles and 7 CLs (SEVEN!!!). Have some respect. Besides, if they are in fact signing Morata, when you combine that with signings like Kessie and Rodriguez, as well as others being linked to them (thanks to new Chinese owners) as well as young talent they have like Romagnoli and Donnaruma, that's clearly an indication that they'll be back within a year or two.
  10. We shouldn't be trying to sign a wing back who needs plenty of help defensively. That doesn't make our team better in any way.
  11. Mbappe isn't going anywhere this summer and chances of us signing him even next year is probably like 5%. I don't get why some like to cling on to hope of unrealistic transfers only to get unnecessary disappointment. You lot do realise Chelsea are clearing the way for Tammy Abraham and have refused to sign any other young strikers because of that, right? In other words, even if we realistically had a good chance of signing this lad, the club has taken a stance that means we'll pass on that opportunity to instead integrate Abraham after his loan spell with Brighton/Newcastle next season.
  12. Giving yourself false hope is what you're doing. I'll bet you £10000 it's never going to happen. Move on.
  13. If you were unable to make that inference from his posts then that's on you. I'm just pointing out why that logic is problematic.
  14. We're apparently bitter for "moaning about the wrong things" as if having a go at a rival is strange behaviour. If you actually took your time to read his previous 2 posts including the one I quoted there, you'll see what I was referring to. By his logic, if it weren't for this supposed "bitterness", no one would be giving United/Jose any stick. Which is an absurd notion.
  15. - Do you have proof that the exact people complaining now about Jose's CS talk were the exact same people whom you found to not complain at all about when he won it with us? Can you say without a doubt that those posters were on this forum in 06 and 07? Or are you just throwing out that accusation based on other fans you've seen? If I remember correctly, the only reason we took the CS serious during Jose's first stint is that we were playing either United, Arsenal or Liverpool and the rivalry at the time, especially with United and Liverpool was just getting to another level because of our emergence as a top team. It was more about the opponent than the bloody Community Shield itself. - No one has said them celebrating the EL was "embarrassing". I believe that's a word I used in referring to that video in the tweet I posted. Also, many of our fans talked down our own win in 2013 as well so I'm not sure why you're acting like it's a brand new sentiment all of a sudden.
  16. I think he's being very emotional about this CL win because of the immense pressure he found himself under. He would have been killed in the media if they lost this final and his reputation might have taken irreparable damage. For now his head is above water and he can breathe again. Now on to next season.
  17. Why? It's not impossible to have Hazard, Sanchez, Willian and Pedro in the same team. Will help us rotate properly for next season, seeing as we might play 60+ matches. I believe it's possible to still keep Willian fairly happy despite it being a World Cup year. Brazil's coach loves him and he'll be picked regardless.
  18. So celebrating a PL trophy is the same as celebrating a Community Shield then? Is that what you're trying to say? Or do you not realize that that's what most of us have an issue with from that video? How is that hypocritical? I don't remember Jose counting the CS as a major trophy while he was here first or second stint but if he ever did, it's as silly as it is now. Or where have you seen Chelsea fans ever going on about winning the CS?
  19. Well that was fast...
  20. There could be a gem to uncover from the Portuguese league in that respect. Juve's Alex Sandro was a Porto player after all. Having said that, I know next to nothing about that league these days so I could be wrong.
  21. He'd be starting more often if he was any good at the top level. I remember a period last season or so when Carvajal was out and Danilo played for an extended period. Madrid got slaughtered in that wing in the CL and in the league.
  22. Right so if it wasn't for this supposed bitterness, we'd all be showering United and Jose with love and adulation then? Yes, you're most definitely being ridiculous. Of course there are a few who are bitter towards Jose. Which isn't unusual. You don't expect every single Chelsea fan to have glowing reviews of him. But don't try to paint every not-so-good response from Chelsea fans towards United and/or Jose as "bitterness". That's just silly.
  23. No, that's not the only reason he isn't playing mate. He's a sh*t player. Every time he has played at Madrid, he has been sh*t, giving away goals, losing concentration, etc. Don't believe me, ask any Madrid fan. Danilo is NOT someone we should be looking at to start for us.
  24. When did he count the community shield as a major trophy while he was with us? You may be right but I can hardly remember any such comments. Even this season he has himself called the Community shield a half trophy. You're being ridiculous about us "moaning". Do you need a reminder that United are a rival? A title rival too. Would you still count it as "bitterness" if the same comments were made about Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool winning the EL? You're being ridiculous mate.
  25. What exactly are you on about? No one's complaining about United winning this trophy. But that "3" celebration Jose made the players do indicates that he's counting the Community Shield as a trophy and when you combine that with United fans on social media going on about a "treble", it's all embarrassing. Especially for a club that's actually won the real treble. Why on earth would we slag them of for winning the EL? Didn't we win it ourselves 4 years ago? Nothing wrong with the trophy, even more so now that it comes with an automatic CL slot. It's still a B grade trophy so I wouldn't expect tears and what not like it's the CL but nothing wrong with celebrating silverware. We're referring to the context of that particular gesture.
