looking at previous tottenham point totals, it doesn't really seem like they're doing that poorly. if they win their final 3 matches they'll finish with a higher point total than they did when they made it into the champion's league

Reminder they had their highest points total in the premier league ever when they sacked AVB

Van Gaal looks a bit like a comedy sketch character but he's won a title with four different teams and Holland bossed their world cup qualification, I don't know why people are saying it would be a trainwreck.

It might be a mess like Mourinho at Madrid was a mess, but he still won stuff.

Hey United fans, remember that Barca & Pep football you're always complaining about? You're gonna get a version of it with all the negatives and none of the positives, in addition to a total nutjob of a manager.

I hope they go through the entire class of 92 and all "fergie's fledglings" one by one and United get progressively lower and lower in the league until they finally get relegated and go bankrupt under Beckham and Fergie cries himself to sleep in a pool of whisky.

My favourite thing about United this season is how their fans have been laying into liverpool for years for living off past glories, and they lasted about a month before starting to do it themselves.

Because just because there's no real evidence for something, it doesn't mean it's not a scientific fact.

The Dutch journalist they spoke to on 5Live said that they'd originally spoken to van Gaal two weeks ago, and he'd told them that he wouldn't discuss a role where there was already a manager under contract. So they fired Moyes a couple of days later. He also said that the deal was now basically done.

Of course, all Dutchmen are shifty liars from birth, so make of that what you will.

Rodgers not falling for Mou mindgames

quote:

"I don’t think Chelsea will play the kids because they never have done," Rodgers told the ECHO.

"As a football club they have a wonderful academy there but young players don’t get the opportunity there. That’s one thing you can rule out – there certainly won’t be kids playing."

Does matter much if Mourinho plays a weaker side or not, Liverpool are playing their best team either way. There's 3 games to go and nothing to rest anyone for, even the yellow cards have been wiped now. Rodger's midfield tactics are restricted a bit by not having Henderson available so the side would be the same going against any Chelsea XI at this point.

There was never any way that Rogers was a playing anything less than his best available team.

Mourinho is just getting his excuses in early in case they loose.

The Telegraph are saying, without quotes of course, that United's next manager will be told to win the league next season.

There's also some choice quotes from Rooney in there saying he wants Giggs to be the permanent manager. Do it, Glazers. You know you want to.

Those quotes arent Rooney saying he wants Giggs to be manager, its him answering in a completely neutral way.
