    In fairness.... and not accepting the excuse.

    The ball wasnt moving well at all on that pitch


    But... we were at home and should water the damned thing properly to our satisfaction and if he felt it was bad he should have had griundsmen up the water at ht.

    Theres no excuse for a passing side to have a dry pitch that the ball is not moving well on.

    You do know this is his first season with us?
    Yes he knew what we had, Moyes and van Gaal players.
    People already whinge about the amount of money he spent last summer, imagine how they would cry if he made all the changes in one window <yikes>

    Conte didn't need to change much, he had Jose's league winning squad to work with and wasn't actively working to get sacked <ok>

    With respect utd have been on or about this number of points for 3? Years. Arsenal have been on the slide for 3 years and pep well... we all kbew he didnt do enough

    And with respect any side getting 70 points and not getting cl will feel hard dine buy. Spurs were last side to get 72? And not go through... after that my god... 70 is the mark



    Wasnt joses anything :) long term planning at chavski. Jose whined for 18 months about it being young.

    Seems to me de gea saved yer lives 20 times this season and rojo is joses ideal. You gotbailly, pogba and mkhitaryan and zlatan and seems to me jose said he wanted exactly 4 players and he got exactly what he asked for... at vast expense... so... what exactly is the excuse there again?

    How much has your transfer been each year for the last 4 years?
    Imagine what you could have done if that was real and not dependant on sales :emoticon-0100-smile

    Well let's put it all to bed...

    We are getting first new pitch in 16 years ...5 years after the sell by date of the current one. Not a real excuse for this season but an issue.

    The "biggest club in the PL" after spending a **** load and getting a proven premier league winning manager have played a slightly superior version of a fat Sam tactic and still behind us.

    I'm sure theyll spend yet another fortune this summer...

    Klopp vs Mourinho excuses? I'll admit the whiney one wins every week.

    Couple of games to go! :emoticon-0100-smile

    Diego did you make you post a pain to quote on purpose? 'They are the future'. I know Mourinho likes his ready made players but I think it's pushing it a tad to label Ibra as 'the future' <whistle>

    You know i meant jose lol.

    Being in a cl attracts talent and more budget? I think klopp had the budget but didnt want to spend irrespective of cl (lets hope hes not a new wenger and more savvy) but who exactly did leicester and spurs or even yourselves get when you got CL. Im pretty sure theres not any world beaters amongst it so I'm not sure how attractive CL makes to players.

    Moreno not being a left back but being kept is whose fault?

    Not just those ones that diego mentioned but ndidi, niang, gabbadini, Schneiderlin are all relatively cheap in nowadays markets and moved this january transfer window. Players who would have probably improved your team or at the very least your squad depth.

    Oh also sending Sahko away didn't help.

    With all due respect, i think most managers (apart from our wonderful manager) normally need time to assess players. Not saying it can't be done but United have been dire for a while now so i can see why it's taken Mourinho some time. The real litmus test is his second season.

    Incorrect, he's not only changed a fair few of the personnel, Kante, Luiz, Alonso, Moses, Pedro. He's also totally changed the tactics :p.

    So for the last 2 seasons Jose has completely failed to get any kind of performances out of players that make up most of the world's top 50 list and it's somehow not his fault

    And the only player who has been identified as his type is someone who manages to go in two footed most games without getting sent off

    Well he claims he's making Man Utd fans happy and you are more than welcome to him <cheers>

    And yet he could finish the season with 2 pots in the bag.

    I'm sure United fans will be gutted with that like.

    He's already called the first one worthless himself, and the second one just papers over the cracks of his league failure

    So long as we get CL I'd like Man Utd in there too (preferably somehow without actually winning the final) since I don't want them to be #parttime next season and it will be fun to see Jose fail yet again in that competition

    Cost doesn't always = performance.

    Look at Moreno or Milner the bottler

    That's Samuel L Jackson.

    But if it is Sturridge he isn't doing himself any favours
