    Roman looked pretty happy when we picked up our 2 trophies last year.

    I haven't seen Roman sack Jose yet so as far as i'm concerned, he's happy enough with what Joses doing. In fact more than happy, hasn't Jose just signed a new contract recently, funny that considering your best mate Roman seems to be telling you he's upset?

    Fair point. Any idea how many shots both teams had over the season or corners as a better indicator of who attacked more?

    Calm down dear. It's just his comments seem very not bothered either way. Can't say I particularly look out for his comments so as I said I may have got the wrong end of the stick but the articles I've seen he doesn't seem the most supportive of managers. In general he doesn't seem very supportive tbh.

    Chelsea has the highest number of booking for dives in the premiership.

    Do champions really need to dive THAT much? <whistle>

    I know the argument is done when nitpicking on the 100% accuracy of the data. Why don't you bring in Watford_Rs Espn stats.... oh wait you cant :D

    Quite right, I got a pic of a ref with a red card saying page did not exist <ok>

    I only picked up on the accuracy of the data to show the standard of the site :grin:

    Not sure what else he or the club can do. Theyve gone the extra mile (within reason) for Di Maria. Having experienced a burglary (twice) I understand the effect it has had on him (even though he wasnt actually burgled) but this smacks of a weak minded man cowering away and looking for an easy life.

    he comes from the slums of Argentina, a place which makes the rough streets of Cheshire look like the Bronx in 1986. He has probably been robbed at gun point a million times.

    I do think he will stay though. leaving now would effectively end his career at the top level (PSG is way, way, way below the top tier of clubs) as everyone will see his attitude.

    LVG has dreadful man management skills and has no idea whether ADM is coming on tour, staying or going. It is obvious he has little control over transfer policy.

    Yeah, because when a guy is 9000 miles away and supposed to be getting on a plane it's dead easy to keep total control of him <doh>

    Van Gaal taught Mourinho everything he knows about man management. He also tried to teach him about attacking football but Jose was skiving that day.

    His management skills are very simple, either follow his plan/tactics/training methods or you can find a new club, very effective.
    As for his interviews on ADM, they've been very Fergie like, as if you read between the lines he's telling the reports to 'mind they're ****ing business' .
    Just like the way he answered about transfers today/yesterday in saying the fans and journalists won't get any indications of signings/potential signings from him until they're signed.
    That's how Utd operated under Fergie, he's continuing the status quo.

    Its ironic that a fan of a club who's managers have never had a say in who comes and goes, would question a club who's managers are given 100% control of everything football related. Not quite as bad as someone questioning the man management skills of the person who taught their manager everything he knows.

    Now imagine someone questioned the philosophy of said manager, while failing to realise that his own manager doesnt have one, nor even know where to begin..... hence the established fact that Jose, is and always will be a cheque book manager. regardless of the club, league or year. Its quit funny that at the two clubs where he was actually allowed to sign players of his choice..... he was most successful.

    Thankfully none of the above exist and they most certainly arent the same person :bandit:

    Big bite.

    Psg offered £29m for ADM.

    You previously stated he would not be sold as United and Woodie would lose face selling for <£60m

    Old news mate. Read it this morning. Until it happens it's all as credible as the rest of the guff being reported.
