    It's demeaning to the club and particularly, the role of captain. I railed against George Graham's appointment and tenure but would expect the club captain to say nothing on the issue, no matter the depth of feeling against the manager in the camp. Players aren't paid to express such opinions. If they're taking the club's money, then they represent the club.....for good or ill, especially the captain.

    Maybe that's a view from a different era and I guess I'm just old (school)?

    No, don't agree. They should stick to the original plan by playing poorly. That'll get it done quicker.

    Wash your mouth out with soap Brian, his name was and still is 'the man in the raincoat'.

    It may not though.

    Perhaps they looked at bi-polar Chelsky, and decided that
    they cannot gamble on 2015-16 repeating when it could
    actually be more like 2017-18.

    But in the old days, the manager wouldn't publicly criticise and goad the players in the way Mourinho does.
    We have had a lot of pointed remarks by Mourinho about the players.
    Then pointed remarks by some of the players, especially Pogba, about him and the style of play.
    Something has to give soon.

    It's not for me, no matter what but I'm not a social media type. If the players feel strongly against the manager, then go and see a member of the board. If you're going to play to the crowd,do it on the pitch.

    Steve Bruce given the sack..........he can take his cabbage home in that.

    PROS: As an ex-Man Utd player, Bruce would appeal to the fans and get them off Woodwardwardwood's back
    CONS: 93% of their fanbase hadn't been plastinated when Steve Bruce played for them so have no idea who Steve Bruce is

    Grocers in Surrey would be very pleased with this choice. Cabbages ahoy!

    You're of the wrong generation. Grocers sold packets and tins. Greengrocers sold cabbages!

    Norbert says he takes responsibility for Saltypool's world class attack failing to get a single shot on target against Napoli

    I guess he'll have to be replaced, as everyone knows it was a conspiracy involving Man Utd, UEFA and the Camorra that dicked them out of a deserved 23-0 win...

    Have the Chavs done to Morata what we did to Soldado?

    Unlike Soldado (sadly) he ended up scoring the winner. You reverse RCLd that.

    For all the so-called Spurs supporters falling on their swords the other night for losing against the possible competition winners with half a team, you could easily argue that Pool's result was worse than ours.

    The Irons are in Brighton tonight. Also, West Ham are playing at the Amex Stadium.
    This is going to get deleted, isn't it?
