True. But I think he took Barca at least a step further. Rijkaard era was starting something good for them, but the players floored other teams with beautiful football. Remember how the Mancs hardly touched the ball in the CL final.... Bayern is Bayern... not sure how he affected them.
He has spent £200m, so there will be no hiding place if he fails.
I saw a story that Man City has a higher annual spending on defence than countries like Bosnia and Slovakia.....
Interesting that Cuba choose to spend 700 M on defence when their only real treath spend 820 Bn. Something tells me that spending this on a nice party instead would be wiser ;-)
The Hansen quote was huge at the time and for years after
Yeah, you Utd fans milked it.
All good, although I don't think any of my views are outrageous, maybe pessimistic at a stretch but Fuck me it's not like we haven't had enough years or disappointment to be conditioned that way
Some of us are mentally stronger and can resist 😉
"Juve have reportedly rejected a €90m +€5m (Bonus) for Paulo Dybala from Barcelona"
Ehmm signing Coutinho if Neymar is staying and signing Dybala if Neymar's off?

Unlike Conte ..
Matic to United confirmed.
Yuck, Mourinho has got his boring, impenetrable midfield. Matic, Herrera, Pogba. They're going to be very difficult to beat this season.
If Lukaku keeps tucking them away, they'll be climbing that table fast.
One can only hope that someone like Lindelof turns out to be a calamitous fuckwit.

Yep, United are looking pretty good, for the first time in ages. I think the only thing they are missing now compared to Mourinho's best teams is another quick goal-scoring winger – someone like Zaha – and maybe a bit more quality in defense. But they do have a spine and structure in place, which is different to last season and I've no doubt they are better now.

Old Trafford is now a land of the giants, after the new manager’s deliberate recruitment of men over six-foot tall since his appointment last summer.
Six of his seven acquisitions have been over that benchmark, with only Henrikh Mkhitaryan below it.
Mourinho’s signings have seen United climb up the Premier League height table.
In Van Gaal’s second season, they were the equal-seventh tallest team on average. Last season, they rose to fourth, following the summer arrivals of Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, along with 5ft 10in Mkhitaryan.
It would be no surprise if they are top come the start of the new season — just like Mourinho’s Chelsea side were on the opening weekend of his second Stamford Bridge spell, in 2014-15.
Mourinho has never been shy about his preferences.
When he persisted with out-of-form Branislav Ivanovic (6ft 1in) at Chelsea, he justified his decision bluntly.
“If you don’t have a minimum of five tall players, good in the air, you are dead at set-pieces,” he explained.

Convenient to leave out the full backs. I'm actually quite happy to see that they are selling that giant mop head twat as he won them quite a few points with his awkward presence and impressive aerial ability.
So after Keita and Neymar, it's Dembele's turn.
Training ground arguments are common, especially in pre season when you've got players on the periphery trying to show that they belong. Its sometimes the lazy, greedy skillful fucker throwing a hissy fit because he got kicked after trying to nutmeg someone for the 5th time. Mostly it's the 'hard lads' that don't pull out and are at each other constantly.. it's always going to boil over at some point.
Every pre season at my club we see small bust ups that are forgotten about after a few days

Yep. He seemed to often be involved in the build up to goals, whether they resulted in a tick in the 'assists' column or not.
Sadly i have to agree with Dreamy, they will be challenging. Mourinho knows what he is doing.
I agree with you rather than Dreamy. They will challenge (they usually do) and Mourinho does know what he's doing, but "climbing the table" suggests they'll be getting ahead of other top 6 teams and I don't think that's necessarily true. We and the others will improve as well.
We need to but no suggestion that is gonna happen. We have actually got weaker regardless of what Froggy et al say.
I think they were better than we realise last season and they'll take a leap this season.
Top 4 for me.
Weaker in relation to the competition @Judge Jules
