Aside from a Mourinho, their main issue is that they have no identity and consistency.
true. that and there is no fear about going to old toilet anymore. they are poorer at home than on the road.

I agree. and like his predecessors he has to suffer the 'star man' on the huge contract playing poorly and being undroppable.

first it was rooney now its pogba.

and Maureen can't seem to get the best out of martial, mata and rashford.

I think City will murder them, but mourinho will keep his job as it will be seen as a blip.
Hey don’t leave Alexis out, - he’s been less noticeable since joining them than Ozil :shock: :wink:

Two big decisions in one go the Victims way against Fulham...Will we have a week of dissection of these decisions like we had last week? Somehow I doubt it..

Watched some of that game and I have to agree...He was awful, his touch was poor and he really looked as if he didn't want to get involved...Well rid of him we are.

City were on a different level to United. Never really had to get out of second gear and despite Ederson’s best efforts they were barely troubled.

They are a fucking good side. Their defence is not brilliant but they have so much possession and on top of that Fernandinho is like Darren Fletcher in that he can do whatever he pleases without fear of reprimand. Made niggly foul after foul and then at one point in the second half he hauled down Luke Shaw on the counter from behind and the ref didn’t even have a word.

Chelsea and Liverpool have a falsely close position to Man City. They won’t last the pace.

I said at the beginning of the season that the Mousers would finish at least 10 maybe 20 points off this citeh side (even offered a bet to anyone with balls as big as their mouth :wink: ) and had the piss taken. Now according to some of the shit reporters in the meejia this citeh side are not playing great because they are not winning every game 6-0. Well if this is them in some kind of "blip" God help the rest of us when they inevitably kick back into top gear.

Matic yesterday was appalling. Like he was running through treacle.

Lot of criticism for his performances this season by the looks of it.

Riveting local derby between the two Irelands last night at the Aviva Stadium. All the thrills and spills of top class attacking football played in front of a racous full house that were enthralled from the first whistle to the last ..

Disclaimer....none of the above is true...

:lol: :lol:

Added to this night of interlull glory was the joy of having a handful of the Loyalist "hardcore" hanging around central Dublin all afternoon desperately trying to pluck up the courage to pick a fight and ultimately chickening the fuck out. :oops:

Prize fucking arseholes. :oops: :lol:

Any team that has david luiz and rudiger as their first choice centre backs has no business being considered as a title challenger :roll: Add to that is a left full (alonso) that has zero interest in defending, and it is a pub team defence.
I have said since pre-season that I do not think that the chavs will finish top 4 this season, and I still 100% believe that

Some craic in argentina tonight where the second leg of Copa Libertadores final has had to be put back until tomorrow after the boca junior's team bus was attacked by the river plate fans

Missiles rained down on the boca team bus and the top window was smashed in shite and players got glass shards in their eyes
