    OGS has already opened his mouth saying Utd can win every single match, fatal thing to say. Now, before that we have Chelsea so a Spurs win I think.

    Bit pointless having a manager that thinks you can't win every game. If a manager said a team "would" win every game that would be very different.

    Which games do you think Poch doesn't think Spurs can win?

    And if Poch said that it wouldn't be long before you typed the word deluded

    Don't be such a clown, he is one of the most genuine men you could meet. Sure he would love the job but his answers to questions are all from enthusiasm not at all cynical.
    Maybe that is just what you expect or are used to?

    I bet you was one of the people claiming that Poch's silence towards the United job means he's United bound...nothing to do with him being silent because he's not interested in the job or the question.

    How much did you lose :grin:

    Ole is United to the core, he has been given a limited chance to do something he probably never even dreamed of. He is not with us for a "project", he is just living the dream and loving every second of it, I hope he enjoys it right to the last second whenever that may be.

    He's Scandinavian, but he's actually been to Manchester, so I'm not convinced.

    Until they sacked Cortese, which he said would result in him leaving.
    If he goes, then he goes. We'll carry on doing what we're doing and moving forward.
    You'll probably hire another negative, dull coach and bore the **** out of everyone. It's what you've done since Ferguson quit.

    He actually said it made no difference because he was committed to the project.

    Where do you think he will go next?

    Totally honest mate, I hadn't seen that and was going off a quote posted on the Southampton board around the time of it happening.

    EDIT..............Maybe it was this one

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jan/16/mauricio-pochettino-staying-southampton-manager


    "I want to show my gratitude to Nicola Cortese. I believed in him, he brought me here, my staff and my family. I am full of gratitude to him," he said. "Eight months ago when this happened we were finishing my first season and I did say that if he left there would be no sense for me to stay.
    "The new situation is different. We are in the middle of our new project. Nicola knows of my decision to stay; I have spoken to him. I am fully committed to the staff, the players, the club and it would make no sense to leave in the middle of our path."

    Alright to think it but better to keep it quiet is what I'm saying because normally when things like this are stated egg arrives on the face very soon after.

    A rallying cry, given the state they are in (and also not physically impossible) .
    The performance they put in against Spurs will be the test of
    whether tis nothing more than that.

    Is the BBC fixtures wrong or are there a bunch of 12.30 and 5.30 games for no reason?

    That sounds like the usual approach from Sky and BT to me...

    Watch the bubble burst United. I bet United's new manager didn't realise he'd be playing the blind school for his first 4/5 matches.

    Cesc Fabregas is reportedly being loaned to Monaco after today's match

    Hmmm, so you're saying that Tielemans might be available...?
