The Mak

A far worse position and even worse football than any tenure of Scolari, AVB or Benitez. And considering the amount of freedom and backing he's had with the team up until last summer, it says it all. He needs to go I'm afraid. And he needs to take some of those sacks of shit that were on display yesterday. Namely Ivanovic, Fabregas and Costa.

Can we change "Man of the Match" to "The Only One Who Cared"? Seems more appropriate....

By now, if we're not beating Bournemouth at home, José may shine up his C.V. real nice for the end of the season. Ivanovic and Fabregas can join him since he loves their continuous shite performances so much. I would say Costa could join him as well, but I don't think he likes José very much...or football for that matter. Maybe he'll join UFC?

Fabregas and Costa = fuck all. Ivanovic = fuck off.

Haha, all the groans are from Fabregas' passing. I've discovered his job though, to be 'the wall'...meaning, you pass it to him and it comes straight back.

I'm convinced Oscar absolutely hates Mourinho.

What does Fabregas do for the team exactly??!

Meh

Haha, Costa! Maybe he'll show some fight in terms of getting on the scoresheet in the next game instead of just looking for a fight in general...

Anytime Pedro shoots or crosses I feel like he just decides to hit the ball as hard as possible and hope for the best....he appears hurried in a bad sense, can't wait to get rid of it. Hopefully he grows in confidence with us and shows a bit more guile and craft.

@Spike, looks like Mason is gagging for a fix. Can't even last an hour without some meth. 'Injured', yeah....

Did Mason kill/shag your dog or something mate?

Why is everyone offside?!

Why does no one press with Oscar?!

I suppose so, but many will point to finishing outside 4th with Mourinho is a much more 'realistic' sackable offence than finishing 2nd under Ancelotti in 10/11. Maybe we're just aiming for 'realistic' sackings? Anyway, no one can argue against things being way worse under Mourinho now than things ever were under Carlo. I think the players always gave Carlo everything they could, it's just we had a very stagnant squad at the time. Personally, I do not think we will ever get out of this rut while José is still here. I hope I am wrong, but he has driven us head-first into this. He created this storm with his team 'management' over the past 2 years. All of the players, bar Willian, seem mentally shackled. I don't think we'll ever see them perform like they did from August-December of last year while José is here - he has beaten the expression out of so many players and run them like dogs into the ground.

Yeah, hopefully so he can sell Mata back to us... ...and to relegate them in about 3-4 seasons!

Because it allows the club to say "Oh look, we gave our manager who won the league last season the maximum amount of time to achieve the minimum objective". (I would also imagine it voids a massive chunk of Mourinho's pay-off) I think it's more about the club not wanting to scare off the best replacement for Mourinho, not really about the CL. The fact he has lasted this long tells me the club are really trying to change their image about being trigger happy with managers.

The fact he has stayed this long has convinced me that he will not be sacked until either a.) the end of the season, or b.) it becomes mathematically impossible to qualify for the CL.

Pedro is tiny. If you're putting your head down that far Pieters can't really complain.

Well done Begovic. Well done all.

I honestly couldn't care less. He was like Bambi on ice for us. I'm just glad he is gone and we didn't depreciate his value even further by forcing the move to work.

Sued, fined and banned all in the one day. Only Mourinho. It really reflects the bad atmosphere he has surrounded the club with. More and more it feels like we are just waiting for someone to come along and put him out of his misery.

Can't believe someone has paid money for that sack of crap. One of the worst transfers ever, hands down.

I am so sorry, I have nothing to say. I have nothing to say.
