It's been ages mate how have you been? End of last season it looked so promising. Injuries is one thing, squad depth is another. How we are one day away from our first league game with 3-4 players less than the minimum is crazy in itself. How did the club not prepare for this? Thankfully, the window closes in another 3 or so weeks.

Well clearly you cant seem to read your own original reply to lashley that i quoted. I never responded to your best manager in the world post. But lets move on.

I don't believe for a second he's unhappy with his role or klopp. I do believe he's just taking his opportunity to join Barca like any sane person would. Best of luck Phil 😥
Honestly, for teaching Sterling how to kick a ball he does deserve a lot of credit.
because France, Spain and Portugal never colonised anywhere, did they?
lol.

Not with the way Ancelotti is handling Bayern he isn't. Definitely agree that Pep is a cunt.

Right now, this very moment? Allegri, Simeone and Zidane.
What they've done with their respective teams has been incredible, enhanced the team to reach greater heights when it was thought that would be impossible.

Carlo is the first coach since Hitzfeld where I have the feeling that he could stay a decade and we would always play for all three competitions.
Best manager though is Pep. And maybe Löw.

By finishing 6th and winning two trophies with Manchester United he also showed he can achieve great things with midtable teams. Mourinho really is the total package.

I do think that the best manager in PL is Pochettino.
Zidane, Allegeri, and Simeone are probably all achieving more with their resources taken into account though
Interestinf lineup and bench!

Why does he wear the mask!?
Porto?

Legit. Wtf about porto

Best manager for putting the pressure on, absolutely. He's won fuck all though and doesn't deserve to be mentioned with Mou, Pep, Conte, Klopp or even Ranieri for that matter.
LOL
Oh yeah, I forgot about Porto. Fair enough on that, but when people say he's won league titles with Chelsea and Real Madrid I'm just like... ok.

Porto? Best in Portugal but did they have unlimited funds?

Jack Colback banished from 1st-team set-up after training-ground row & looks to have played last game for NUFC
At Emirates. #afc team: Cech, Holding, Monreal, Kolasinac; Bellerin, Elneny, Xhaka, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Ozil, Welbeck; Lacazette.
Leciester: XI: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan (c), Maguire, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, James, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy.

Many managers have failed with those teams and resources though.

If anyone is a cunt it's clearly Mourinho.

Winning the CL with Porto is probably as close as you're going to get to that in the modern era.
edit: beaten

Carlo will know there is always a space at Stamford Bridge for him to be Conte's assistant
Or replace him when he leaves
Dude keeps winning though. Pep last season was glorious, not a classy bone in that guys body
Also, someone tell Wengy to stop playing Ox so he moves across London to us. Dont want him getting injured before he comes

I prefer old Mourinho to new Mourinho. Before he was quite entertaining and his teams played some entertaining stuff. Now he's just a sour cunt and plays some pretty boring football.

Is there more drama in the league this summer or am I being bias since Pool have been the epicentre of most of it?

Also Mourinho still holds the record for most points in a PL campaign with 95 and 15 (!!) goals against. That's one hell of an achievement in my opinion.

The guy is a monster and i'd take him back at Chelsea if the managers seat was empty in a heartbeat.
Title is United's to lose this season
He did kill my dog
Mou has won in 4 different leagues and has always won the league in his second season. I don't think it'll happen this time, but he's clearly a driving force behind his players when things are ticking along.
United have been a mess of a team since before Fergie even left. In that last season, everyone else was just pure shit, not unlike the Leicester season.
Just the other day someone here said United should be happy to get top 4. Not sure what that means if he wins the league with this "underwhelming" (not my words) squad.
Until Poch wins something he really can't be included in the top mangers list. And that list includes Mou and Pep without any shadow of a doubt.
If he wins the leage with this Spurs team and after spending, comparatively, nothing, then he gets some points.

Agreed. I mean, i hate Mourinho, but i prefer his "in your face" attitude and funny antics from earlier. And as you say..now he's just a sad, miserable whiney bag of ding dongs

When he gets the squad he wants the entertaining Mou will appear again. Always sour until he is confident.

Real Madrid destroyed his soul.
Yeah. I think Madrid changed him. Even before that awful third season with Chelsea, something felt off.
Still love him though.

Hahaha what? They'll be lucky to finish top 4 with that squad, kid. City are favourites, much to your chagrin.
Mou can still be hilarious though, ‘I could answer in many different ways but I'm not willing to lose my hair to speak about Antonio Conte.'
Fair enough, no one likes a dog killerHe did kill my dog
Well he already did that, winning the Champions League and the UEFA Cup with FC Porto.
Wenger doesn't trust him and I don't blame him.

Matic will be great for them, Lukaku will be too, they still need to do some things in defence but I think Mou will get them going and their new signings plus Pog, a fit again Zlatan (eventually, when he re-signs), players like Rashford, they'll be able to push on.
Jose knows the league, hes a winner and hes a great manager. If not then he'll get sacked so either I was right or he'll be unemployed which I will be happy about, haha.
I don't quite understand why Benitez has banished Krul and Colback while bringing De Jong back into the fold, but I'm not at all surprised by this. I wonder if he might go back to Sunderland.
