El Crapico: Spurse vs ManUre

[kenada_blue]

If you're going to be an ideologue, you need to be a winner. Guardiola is the ultimate example - but his ideology was at least coherent: extreme possession as a risk-averse means of control. I'm not a fan of his style, but it's utterly coherent.

Mourinho, in his own way, was also an ideologue. His belief that the team that makes the most mistakes loses was central to his philosophy. Essentially, the team WITHOUT the ball would make fewer errors (but only, obviously, if the players without the ball were elite). Again, coherent.

My issue isn't so much with ideologues as with deluded ideologues or snake oil salesmen peddling fake, but stylish, "philosophies' for personal brand enhancement purposes.

Amorim seems hopelessly out of his depth.

The clubs more out of its depth than Amorim IMO.

Basically called in a plumber to fix a car with a butter knife. So now have to spend a fortune to fix it.

What absolute pleb Maguire is, awful sportsmanship.

Awful professional.

With a mentality like this Utd are in huge trouble.

Romero is an absolute rat though.

Man U are surely in deep trouble now without CL football like. Obviously the manager needs to go, but they're gonna be really struggling to recruit without funds - and Man City take all the best youngsters these days, so there academy isn't producing like it used to.

I have no idea what "rock bottom" genuinely looks like - maybe this is it? Obviously they won't ever be relegated because of the standard of the teams coming up (although Leeds might be ok next year I suppose)...

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of owners. Shame they can't be liquidated and given to the fans.

Happy that Man U lost, also happy for Richarlison

So so sweet.

4Th European Trophy, Champions League, safe from relegation....beautiful treble.

I'm going to watch the game again. An exhibition of wonderful football.

man utd need to tread water for another 12 months and get the ridiculous player contract situation under closer control.

when they've got a system that is fiscally manageable, then they can expect management, amorim needs 12 months grace to shift a few on and a few more again.

They aint got that patience.

The belief in entitlement there is the core illness.

Have to sell their best players, their sponsorship deals will now be based on no champs league footy. They could be cooked big time

Please watch it on my behalf so that nightmare is expunged from my memory. Many thanks.

Doesn’t matter, you wait in the long grass.

If you loose in any final you should be humble and a good looser, even if it’s killing you inside.

It’s probably more important than winning and you won’t do one well without the other.

 

[Zezti]

I just hope the loss of revenue is really going to hurt Utd and keep them crap for a long time.

Wicked, snarked her right off, and got his 'I told you so' in.

That's how you gloat like a pro.

We've needed characters in the manager department, none of the crying hissy fit mourinho stuff, but a gruff 'I don't like the media' type.

Sooner the scum media are treated very very severely, the more fun we all get to have at their expense. Shoe on the other foot time!

That clip was months ago mate, doubling down on his comment “I usually win something in my second season”.

Unreal.

It’s Babe Ruth pointing to the bleachers.
