Think players like Lamps and Shearer aren't exactly begging for money. Especially Lamps who was earning over 100k/week while Pogba was still trying to get a pro contract. Someone needs to tell Jose.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4311970/Jose-Mourinho-looked-like-loser-against-Antonio-Conte.html Article is spot on about Jose. "f**k off Jose" and "Judas"(don't think anyone really said that but hey!) were probably a bit too far but actually having a go at Jose was fully justified. We gave him a warm welcome when he came around in October. But since then he has gone out of his way to slag off our new manager, our team, our style of play and even us fans who f**king stood by him all the way and turned on the players last season because of him. We f**king chanted his name at the top of our voices when he had us 17th. Respect is reciprocal. If he shuts up from this point forward, he might just start to gain that goodwill back. Favorite part of the article for me:

You'll regret it. 98% of the time, they're bloody awful and clueless. This is the 2%.

Because I'm not deaf either. I wasn't at the game but it was hardly ear bursting in the stadium. You're embarrassing yourself at this point.

That's not what proves you're up Jose's arse. You're here f**king trying to make a case for Herrera not hearing Smalling's instruction because the stadium was supposedly too loud. Stamford Bridge is hardly 98k Camp Nou mate.

If he can hear his manager on the touchline, he can definitely hear Smalling who's on the pitch and only a few yards away from him. He's not f**king deaf. You're twisting yourself in a nut trying to defend Jose and United at every turn. You'd fit right in at RedCafe.

Yet he has a worse record against Chelsea than he did with any other team. Hardly worked like a charm, did it?

Herrera was right in front of Smalling. Go back and watch the footage again. Hardly as far away from Smalling as Rashford or Mhkitaryan.

Get out of Jose's arse. You're clearly not reasoning properly. There's a reason the league rules allow captains to talk to the refs. There's a reason teams have captains. It's not Oliver's fault Smalling didn't tell the rest of his team mates (or didn't feel the need to tell them).

That went over my head. You're correct.

Haven't said you shouldn't state your opinion. I've even defended some c**t in this thread despite how far off Jose's arse he is. Public forum, freedom of opinion. But back to the topic, you can't always have it your way. Games have been few and far between this season. No need to complain about game time for certain players. I'm sure they fully understand. I'd bet you Ake probably would have been benched by now. They've been on a terrible run since January and Ake probably would have been sat at some point out of desperation. Rather have him back us up here. If we make deep runs in all comps next season, we'll probably play 60 games give or take. If Ake gets around 20 games out of that, no one will complain. Let's not be so hasty to throw the youngsters in. I'd understand if Jose was the manager but Conte in his career hasn't shied away from playing youngsters (most obvious example being playing Pogba) so I'm sure he has a plan and he knows what he's doing. So again, relax.

They've lost to Hull in the League Cup and Saint Etienne in the Europa League though. Not really unbeaten. Plus there's been like 10 draws in that run so it's hardly a mind blowing run. There's a reason they've spent 100 days stuck in 6th position even though they shaved off a few points. But yes, they're better than they were earlier in the season.

Good thing we're paying Conte to implement what he wants. Not what you want.

Don't forget the tap in Willian carved out for him too. It was harder to miss than score and he somehow missed it. Any kind of contact at all and it would have gone in. Should have gotten an easy brace.

@didierforever FA Cup doesn't mean much? I'm afraid you're in the minority, pal. Oldest cup in world football. Still a very valuable trophy. If the FA Cup is only valuable to the winners then how do you suppose the winners get the trophy? By taking it seriously, no? Also, what would that leave the 19 other teams who won't win the league if we're saying only the winners get some value? Or does this somehow change when it's league football? There have only been about 6 teams in the history of world football to win a treble. United are the only English team to have done it. You think they could have entered that exclusive club without the FA Cup? Knock it off mate.

Costa could have gotten himself a brace yesterday. Really, this should have ended 4-1.

He's being a c**t but that's no reason to ban him. Different opinions should be welcome sometimes, even if we don't agree. Let's not turn this place to an absolute sensitive echo chamber like RAWK.

Really didn't want to face Spurs but f**k it. Bring it on.

So you wanted the ref to pick up a megaphone and announce his assessment to all 11 United players or what? Whose fault is it that Smalling didn't communicate this to the rest of his team mates? They clearly wanted to keep going with the dirty tactics. Besides, Herrera was only a few yards from the prior incident. Whether it was Herrera getting sent off or Valencia or Rojo, somebody in red deserved to see red. You can't stop whining about it now.

Who's the absolute legend in charge of the write up on the website today?

Well that's a shocker

Maybe not today but go look at the Arsenal match as an example. 100% his fault that Giroud scored. He switched off, focusing on whatever it is that was going on in his head.

Fair enough, upon seeing the replay, you're right.

Yet another match where we're leading and Zouma comes on to "close out" the game and we lose the clean sheet. Lad isn't ready.
