Ending the Apartheid didn't change anything except the native Africans can now vote and that it's much more dangerous for the average Dutch/English/Boer/Whatever European South African. A sad thing really, that such a great achievement hasn't really brought as much joy as it should have. I'll never go to the country out of safety concerns, whereas 20 or 30 years ago I might have

Nope that wont happen either, we have a huge tourism industry and trust me you safe, I think we might be more developed than most think. Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban are big cities. Most of our violent crime is aimed at citizens, home owners or farmers. On rare occasions Tourists are mugged but that's due to their own stupidity, also it can happen anywhere. South Africa is told to be similar to Australia, rich in sport culture with similar attributes.

Only we have a higher reported rape statistic. Reported being the key word. Sorry, I've never been to RSA but I'm struggling to picture a place that I want to travel to.

That is understandable because of the reports that leave RSA are mostly bad. I cant convince you but I recommend it.

We have loads of poor people and this always increases crime stats and rape stats.

We were better under Ancelotti than Mourinho

During one season only...

Mourinho made us the best team in UK for 3 consecutive years (not talking about trophies only), we played the best football and had the best squad.

Ancelotti was a one year thing, could never replicate that and did some fucked up shits on the transfers to renew the squad!

Yes, 09/10 was our best ever season (imo), but I give way more credit to Mourinho than to Carlo.

I have always thought that our 2009-10 league season was overrated. Yes, we played a nice football, had a a good record against the late "big four" teams and we scored a lot of goals... But at the end of the day, we only beat an average United by one little point. In Mourinho first season, we managed to have 95 points (the record) while the second team — the Invincible — were at 83 points. And we might have scored a lot of goals and trashed a few teams under Ancelotti, but we also conceded 32 goals and we lost six games — while under Mourinho in 2004-05 we conceded only 15 goals (which is also the record) and we only lost once.

So yeah, in my mind, this 2009-10 league season is overrated.

Stats that means nothing when you try to find out which year we played the best football. I can give you tons of Manure records that were achieved with some very average teams...

I never saw Mourinho's team playing the kind of football we played that year. We were more consistent in 04-08, more unbeatable than in 09/10. However, I would enjoy myself much more in Carlo's years.

Lets put it that way. If they both played, I would root for Anelkalouda, but they would probably lose to Mourinho's team!
