Is that Jose being a c*nt (showing he's boss) being clever ( giving him a kick up the Arse) or just being controversial ( for the media's benefit). He got rid of Mata cos he isn't a workhorse something you Deffo cannot accuse Rooney of. Has Rooney got a slight knock?
Champions of England... You're having a laugh. Absolutely ****ing demolished in 45 mins, must try harder ya soft slags. Stretford Enders had a party today.
I'm sure Mourinho will be gracious enough to acknowledge Mata is the man who makes things happen quicker. Or will he just modestly claim it is all part of his greater plan to nurse Rooney through the season.
Diatribe... That was the word you used. Difference of opinions, I told you it wasn't as straightforward as you put it. Mata has a place here.
Not a diatribe at all just a nominal piss take against someone who, in most of his post-match interviews, claims the team got better when he made substitutions. This time he got his starting XI right, possibly out of desperation or embarrassment at previous results.
Maybe, as much as I pretend to understand him, I know him only as well as you do mate. Good night pal.
