There really should be a "None of the above" option in the MOTM poll...

Not that we were setting the world alight, but I felt we lost the game when he came on. To be brutally honest, I can't see what sort of system here he can be a part of going forward. I've been trying not say this as not to sound too harsh on him, but in my opinion he needs to go in the next few windows.

Could've been given a chance this season as well instead of going for Stones and the Djibolodji. Same could be said about Kalas. One can only hope that this is rectified with Christensen next season who is having a great season with 'Gladbach, but at this stage it's almost delusional to hope...

Honestly, at this point, we're hoping for miracles. There has literally been zero signs of improvement or that Jose is capable of turning this around in 3 full months. Seeing that Sky story, I genuinely hope I'm wrong about this.

I will be SHOCKED if he's still here by Monday.

Jesus, Ramires...

What I've seen so far, same performance but in addition we're really struggling with Eden behind the striker.

Just got home. How have we been doing?

Two out of three. I'll take it! Now let's fucking win this!! :blue scalf:

Reading rumors of 'surprises' in the starting XI on Twitter...

George Carlin about the wealthy and powerful deception and owning of the rest of the population:

Honestly, that's just Mourinho being a dick. The questions were NOT negative, they were completely normal and justifiable questions. "Are you disappointed with the goal you conceded?" and "Are you disappointed that your team failed to score against 10 men in overtime?". I bloody hope that his inwards answer to both are "Yes, very much" or we're in more trouble than I though. What did he expect the reporter would say after we just got eliminated from the cup? "Congrats Jose, are you happy with the character of your team today?"! Also, it's very perplexing to read you saying that Jose always stands up for his team. That used to be true, but this season alone he's thrown several individuals and the entire team under the bus when his decisions and tactics have been brought into question while arrogantly maintaining that he's "the best manager this team has ever had".

You have to admit though that even if we've seen similarly shit patch of performances in the past, this is still different/worse based on the great added pressure from where we are sitting in the table and the fact that we just won the league last season. The problem with the argument that the situation is bound to get better that we will inevitable regain form is that it gets less and and less likely with every passing week. Eventually you'll have to start thinking that any change and shake-up of the team will be a much better attempt at saving this sinking ship than the status-quo.

It's not just where we are, but that we completely deserve to be there. Yes if we can put together 3-4 consecutive wins the situation would look differently, but as I said to Tomo, there has been absolutely no sign of that and that is the main problem. Also, it's pretty easy to put all the positives on Jose and all the negatives on the board, but remember that Jose did 'splash' on Cuadrado and Pedro and the board was willing to 'splash' big time on Stones. Also it was Jose who did not want to go for a desperately needed fullback (in addition to Baba) and insisted on Falcao; both of those are biting us in the ass right now.

Yes, and the fact that this one is adds pressure and changes the whole situation. Also having a bad run in the middle of the season means that at least the team has showed that it can play decent football. For us this season there has been no sign that we can improve or that we are heading in an upward direction.

You can't seriously be comparing City dropping to 3rd with us sitting 15th in the table in November! Moyes' united came close but we've managed to out do them. There's no two ways about it, we're in phenomenally deep shit! I'm sorry, but it's pure denial if we don't realize that.

Charlie Hebdo I meant the march obviously, not the attack. The march was very obviously an intentional play to frighten people. It was a play on emotions after a tragedy to deceive people to thinking that the leaders in the march are protecting them and their rights when in fact it had some of the worst criminals and human rights abusers in the world. Someone actually made a pretty good list of all the hypocrites who attended but it's probably suffices just to mentioned that Saudi Arabia participated! Then you have the fact that this all happened in the country with arguably the worst freedom of speech record in western Europe (just this week a French court criminalized advocating for the BDS movement). What came of all that? New "Anti-Terror" laws across Europe, from France to the UK to all of Europe. Basically, the powerful elite intimidated and took advantage of people's emotional reactions to strip them of more of their privacy and rights As for the so called 'migrant crisis', I was talking about the reaction to it and the provocations and manipulation by politicians and the corporate media which have been nothing short of shockingly gross racism. We were talking earlier about racism in the US, but Europe is even more racist. As Noam Chomsky put it, it's easy to say I'm not a racist when everyone has blue eyes and blond hair. The racism that is just being spewed everywhere in Europe right now against all rationality causation and facts is disgusting. And it's being incited and encourage by very much mainstream politicians and the corporate media. The aim? A society acting in tribal instincts that believes it is at war with 'the others'. And again this is very much intentional from politicians and reporters who know the actual numbers and scientific research, who know that migrants (or in this it is actually refugees but let's call them migrants so we don't have to give them their rights as refugees) will most likely improve the economy, will probably create more jobs in the long run and raise wages for everyone else. That's without mentioning the dire need in Europe for new citizens as the population of most of Europe is quickly falling.

The board is only backing him so far because they fucked up with that 4 years deal at the start of the season. The 30+ million pounds aside, the board of any top English team in our position would have fired their manager by now.

I think, at this point, Schrodinger himself has committed suicide because of the lack of logic and is dead too!

ASK @Barbara....AND STOP SHOUTING AT ME!

If we go undefeated in November and win 2 or 3, I'll do the bunny dance! (No, that's not promise, just a figure of speech! I don't dance. EVER!)

To be fair, Lionsden just calls/called everything bad He's bound to be right about it some time!

I read today from some journo that we've lost (or was it failed to win?) our last match against every one of the coming EPL opponents in November. Not as easy as they look!

If it were up to me, I'd start Baba and keep Matic and Cesc on the bench, but I know Jose won't do any of that...
