Excellent post.

Always happy to beat this lot can never forget them relegating us in 1988 and me getting nicked after the 1990 Zenith Data Cup (oh the glamour of those days !)

Playground debate sort of thing 10 year old's would argue about.

As it was Bonfire Night FB remember remember the five nil in November.

Haven't had spam since the 70's mate ha ha. We used to get spam fritters in school which was cold meat covered in greasy batter. Not as bad as the sausages though which looked like roadkill wrapped in a condom.

I think saying Mourinho is mentally ill is a little bit over the top. I just think he's burnt out working in a high pressured environment all the time has taken it's toll. His days as a top manager are coming to an end and I think he knows it hence the erratic behaviour with us and now Man United. You can't blame Eden Hazard for being pissed off with him Hazard virtually won us the title single handedly yet Mourinho would constantly snipe at him. Also he's getting to sound uncomfortably like Donald Trump with his ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Since the start of last season, the only teams Jose Mourinho has beaten in the Premier League are: West Brom, Arsenal, Villa, Norwich, Bournemouth, Southampton, Hull and Leicester

Yes mate I know I should have said sorry.

I was at Maine Road in 84 and 89 we completely took the place over our away support in those days was second to none. Eccles at 3.45.

At the very start of this video there are two young (those were the days) geezers that is me and my mate. We are both resplendent in our Sergio Tachini tracksuit tops me in a blue and white one him in a white one. I actually talked to Coe just before this I had no idea there was a camera crew with him. This is from 1984 we played Sheffield Wednesday Mickey Thomas scoring twice on his home debut and becoming an instant cult hero by celebrating with us in Gate 13 of the East Stand.

Having to go to the Stretford End to apologise for losing 4-0 to us that must have been what's the word I'm looking for err err got it HUMILIATING.

First Man United player to touch the ball yesterday ? De Gea when he picked it up out of the net ha fucking ha.

I've been forthcoming of my dislike for Mourinho since I joined this forum and yesterday just proved he's finished. Antiquated football he's the only man who can turn a 90 million pound player into a nine pound player in a couple of months. But it's the childish antics that get me Conte should have told him to fuck off he's the manager of Chelsea so if he want's to encourage the fans regardless of the score then he can. Getting lectured by someone who acts like a petulant kid most of the time is just bizarre. He does love an old centre forward doesn't he?. Hand on heart Drogba just wasn't up to it after two years playing in China. Zlatan playing for a team who have the championship sown up in March and Eto who was ok but better then Lukaku? like fuck he was.

As much as I hate to say it Spurs are a big club and have massive support not only in London but other parts of England as well. There's a Spurs shop in Southend high street for example. Lot of Spurs in Norfolk surprisingly.

There's always exceptions of course but in the English game it's usually the case great player crap manager. Ex pro's are always complaining about no chances are given to English coaches and the reason is historically they have been piss poor. A mate of mine knows a Wycombe fan who told him as soon as Tony Adams became manager he told the youth team they were shit and would never make it and after completely undermining their confidence surprise surprise none of them did. Pep and Conte haven't been entrenched in the English game and are more forward thinking then the average ex Premier league player.

Players you have had outstanding careers rarely make good managers especially when they manage the clubs they used to play for. We had John Hollins who inherited a team full of some great players and got us relegated Bobby Campbell taking over for the last few games but it was to late. Spurs have had Hoddle and Ardiles while the Leeds team of the 70's about half of them ended up managing them.The most successful managers in England going back to the 70's Revie, Shankly, Fergie, Mourinho, and Wenger all had very average or in some cases (Mourinho) no playing career at all. Even Brian Clough played all his career in the second division. Look at the England teams of Italia 90 and Euro 96 loads of them have had managers jobs and every single one of them has been useless and I hate to say it but Zola hasn't been exactly a success either. My theory and it's only an opinion is the top players are playing so many games at club and international level and with all their media commitments and outside interests have no time to study the game. Any free time they get they spend on the golf course. So when they retire they get offered jobs because of who they are but are totally unprepared and end up out of their depth. When Hoddle was our manager Tony Cascarino said that what drove Hoddle mad was he would ask on the training ground for the players to do certain things but they couldn't because Hoddle was so technically better then them. Can you imagine Drogba managing say Coventry and then having to watch a centre forward who's not fit to lace his boots it must be frustrating.

No International football for a month. An insomniac's instant cure watching England.

Think it's more a case of nepotism by Swansea's American owners.

I was just in the Megastore with my nephew and his mate those Carabao training kits are fucking hideous.The thing on the front looks like a character from an old Doctor Who called Sutekh

England fans have reacted to the news that Gareth Southgate will be caretaker England manager by christening him ‘Jesus Christ Gareth fucking Southgate’.

Extremely unlikable bloke Allardyce a limited coach with a huge ego and a huge chip on his shoulder. Gets the job he's been craving for and loses it after one game for being a greedy bastard deserves all he gets. How much money do these geezers need ? extremely grubby and if your in the public eye should be extra careful about who you shout your mouth off to.
