Despicable, you wouldn't have seen this sort of behaviour when Sir Lord King Ferguson was in charge.

vyelkin posted:Football writers like to think they're Real Journalists and giving the age of people in newspaper articles is something Real Journalists do. It's pretty much this. Journo 101 is to include the age of the subject in the piece, it almost always affects the interpretation of the article by the reader. "The 54 year old, accused of throwing a custard pie at an opposing player, had this to say:" for example.

The press are turning on Jose already, as evidenced by him being heavily misquoted following the Bristol match. He was in full magnanimous mode following that but the press managed to misquote him into being a sore loser. He's a twat, is and always will be a twat, but the press are having a field day with him at the moment. In any other season, this United side would be cruising top of the table, I think he's finding it really hard to deal with Pep hitting peak Pep in Jose's special "second season".

pik_d posted:The problem with this argument is that the last three clubs they've come up against are 16th (Leicester), 52nd (Burnley), and 100 (Bristol City) and they've managed to get two draws and knocked out of a cup from that. Doesn't really matter what City/PSG have spent when they perform poorly against the clubs that they've outspent by up to 1250%. This said, Burnley also have other impressive scalps away from home this season, Leicester are a good side at home and anything can happen in a cup match. Bristol played really, really well, to just say United were poo poo does them a disservice. Perspective matters, sure you can claim poor defending for Burnley's first, but there's nothing you can do about a loving peach of a free kick that no keeper in the world is keeping out. There are obvious problems in this United team and cracks are showing with Mourinho as I genuinely don't think he expected City to hit the level they have nor do I think he knows how to bring United on another level to compete with that. I think this squad is Jose's best dice throw and the shock is showing through the team at the moment. Earlier in the season, the draws from last season were wins, they're back again now as 2 points lost and the pressure of getting through Christmas unscathed has cracked the team. 2 points from 6 against Burnley and Leicester is a disappointing Christmas for a team that should have been mounting a title challenge.

If only there were a middle ground between "starting every match at age 19" and "never playing ever"
