No matter how many people in the press deny it, I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I have a sneaking suspicion that he'll go to United.

Great, now I can't rest easy until I know Jose isn't going there. PLEASE GOD!

Yes, but if Rafa fucks up and gets sacked at least no one will be upset.If we appoint another manager and he fails and gets sacked, we'll be right back to square one and a laughing stock.

I know it would be extremely unpopular here, but if we do miss out on Jose, we may as well keep Rafa. Doing as good a job as he can now with a tissue-thin squad with a poor strike force and no steel in midfield. Bring in a few top players and we'd have the best available manager already here and it wouldn't cost us anything. Plus the players are familiar with him. Pray Jose is locked down though and it won't come to that.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense.Moyes makes a mint at Everton and has complete control. Why sit and play second fiddle for a year when he can be earning boat loads of cash elsewhere and be the main guy?

I would if I were there, yes.Surely he wouldn't do this to the Chelsea fans? Wind up the entire football world by insinuating that you're going to Chelsea and get them excited, and then sign for a bitter rival. I'd cry and be extremely angry.

One last knife to the Chelsea gut frm Fergie? Retire just as it looks nailed on for Mou to return so he changes his mind and goes to United. Fucking hell, the thought makes me sick.

He's been superb so far. And the Emptihad sounds as quiet as a library.

In my head I'm dreaming of Lamps scoring a couple and doing an over the top, AVB-like celebration right in front of him.

This is why I never get my hopes up.

To be fair, Ake is getting garbage minutes either in Europa League games or when games are basically over.

I agree with others here. If the deal includes KdB on loan to Dortmund only and not a sale, I'd be delighted with that. We may see Lukaku-level development with him and we'll have a first team ready player when his loan is up.

City is the team I'm most worried about next season. We've had United's number this season and I think with just a couple of additions in the right areas we can finish above them. With City, they already own us in midfield every time we play them and now there's talk of Fernandinho already heading there. Him, in addition to almost certainly bringing in another superstar striker and a healthy Silva and they'll be back to their best from last season in my opinion. Wouldn't surprise me if they got Isco either.

I'd probably take him over Falcao at this point. It'll be one hell of a title race next season if he goes to City. On their day this season they were just about unbeatable, so with Cavani playing up top with a healthy Aguero is bad news for the rest of us.

Credit where it's due. Done well with a thin squad and fucking Torres as our first choice striker most of the time.

Exactly. Rooney, Kagawa, Carrick can come off of their bench. We have fucking Benayoun and Torres.This is essentially their second team with 3 first choice players against our strongest side bar Hazard and we look toothless. Fatigue or not the players should be desperate to win this one and look like they don't care.

Has Webb awarded us a single free kick yet? Looks like we're dead tired and not up for it. Ramires and Lamps almost invisible, Moses having one of his shit days, and we clearly miss Hazard. Ba is all on his own up there and can't do anything.

We look completely useless going forward. Painful to watch.

I'm gonna be depressed for days if we lose to United's 2nd team with an almost full strength side.

So if Moses has one of his completely ineffective days who are we gonna bring on? Zorres to play up top with Ba I suppose.

Hazard probably left out as a precaution so he's fit for Spuds.

I'm now nervous as hell. Need Ba to go HUGE!

I'm very uneasy about this one. If they played their full strength side and won then I'd be upset, but if they play a weakened side without RvP and others and we lose I'd go mad. I have a feeling that we'll play well and on the way to victory and the get robbed by poor refereeing again. I'd take a draw if offered right now as I'm pretty confident we'll beat Spuds.

Just can't believe how many times Bale has carried Spurs. Was saying it last season about Arsenal, but Spurs would literally be midtable without him. Constantly wins them games single handily. Annoying as fuck. Guarantee you that he'll end up at United soon too.

This could end up being a nightmare week.
