Yeah, West Ham looked pretty awful yesterday. Still, will be a tough game for them.

Didn't know that.
It was a one off to be fair. Been really impressed with West Ham all season. Bilic doing a great job there. They'll probably outplay United, but De Gea will perform miracles again then Martial will score in 85th minute to bail them out. Standard.
I'd rather Utd lose out. Fuck them.
I don't really care about City but seeing Utd fail always warms the heart.
Lose the FA Cup final and lose to West Ham on Tuesday please.
Incidentally Arsenal could end up getting 2nd now!

I'd like to see United miss out, but seeing Pep having to manage City in the Europa League would be pretty funny and be a decent silver lining. I'd especially love it if we were in the CL next season and Sterling wasn't....the little prick.
What? So one year after winning the title, Mourinho's management style and methods are now defunct, and belong to a different generation and era? Because while thickos like Lampard may have fallen for it, the super-savvy smart new kids on the block won't?
Seriously?
Yeah, it sounds a bit far fetched to say the least. It is a bit interesting though that of the 21 titles he has won only 5 of them have come after 2010.
5 titles in 5 years
These in the last 5,5 years:
2 league titles which is very good obviously.
This does bring to mind a similar article in The Times, talking about the demise of the "hairdryer" and ruling by carrot/stick managerial style, and how the new "grown up" listening approach is obviously now the key to success, because of the trailblazing success story that is Claudio Ranieri
For decades the magnificent Ranieri refused to buckle to accepted norms, and change his style, and now...finally...football has caught up with this revolutionary genius.
It's starting to tick me off

I suppose it's only evidence of a decline when you compare it to the eight seasons following his appointment at Porto, when he won 6 leagues and two European Cups.
I absolutely hate Mourinho, so I hope he's not doing this, but if he's got any sense he'll be using the time off to think about how to evolve the way he sets teams up with reference to how Simeone's done it, because he's almost a Mourinho 2.0 in his approach. Mourinho tried to be more expansive the first season he was back at Chelsea then regressed (in style) when results didn't go his way. That said, I've no idea whether he would have had greater longevity at Chelsea had the players not been arseholes and if he'd had greater support from the board.
Yes seriously. I think most players cannot suffer hum for more than a season. Either they blow over or he does. He strikes me as too stressful these days.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been spotted meeting Manchester United legendSir Alex Ferguson for lunch.
The pair, along with Pochettino’s assistant Jesus Perez, were snapped outside Scott’s Restaurant in London’s Mayfair on Tuesday.
The pictures have heightened speculation on social media that Ferguson could be working on behalf of the Old Trafford giants to persuade Pochettino to replace Louis van Gaal this summer.
I couldn't give a shit about that scrote Sterling TBH. He'll find out his limitations the hard way in the CL anyway.
I really, really want Utd to miss out on the CL & be forced to play in the Europa League instead. It'll mean De Gea fucks off for sure, which is fucking ace, & it'll hamstring their season as it almost always does to teams playing in that competition.
The longer that club keeps losing the better. I still want Nottingham Forest to lose every week & they haven't been in the same league as us for about twenty years!

Well if he was trying to persuade him to go to Utd he failed miserably as he's just signed a five year deal with Spurs.

Unless that was Tottenham making sure they get a nice big wodge of compo for him....
Perhaps in a year or two, I cant see him signing a contract in May & leaving in July. And I'm a cynical bastard.
It may well be better if the mancs get Mourinho, I cant see him miraculously learning how to build a long term squad & team when he's failed to do so once in his managerial career, & he's successfully managed to leverage Chelsea's incredibly deep pockets into a couple of titles & cups twice, & both times left them in disarray, huge wage bills & the squad needing a full overhaul.
Of course it would be better for A N other manager to take over & fail miserably, but I doubt they'll give many other managers as much spending power as they would Mourinho.
