    I can see them 'doing a Man U' for a few years. Would be funny if they ended up with Mourinho after trying a few alternatives :D

    Why Mourinho? He's building momentum at Man U. You can see the style of play; it's that effective football. Probably right up Fergie's alleyway. Not very stylish or pretty but effective. The team is well balanced between defence and attack and they aren't shipping many goals. I doubt JM would leave MU given the potential and consistency they now have.
    FWIW I do like Pogba (except for the silly falling over too easily stunts). He's got great vision and can put a pass on a button.

    Mainly because of what you lot have said about him in the past :)

    I'm not sure that I would be comfortable with grumpy moody chops at Arsenal. Besides, Wenger has ticked all the boards boxes (mainly I think because of their frugality) and given JM's comments about Wenger being a failure specialist, I cannot see him there.
    Personally, I think JM has peaked. There was a time he never went more than 2 seasons without a league win. Being RM boss knocked the stuffing out of him. I also think that in the back of his mind, his rejection as a Barca boss weighs heavily. He had the opportunity at RM to 'show them' but failed, I think that was hos motive. His timing for taking the position was odd - Pep in his pomp and Barca at their peak. The time to be a RM boss is now. The old guard has ostensibly gone at Barca and Zidane is only capitalising on the fact that this is a transitionary period for Barca.

    Personally I dread the day that he'll be known as the fourmer Arsenal boss.

    It will be. After all, the FA Cup is famous for small clubs languishing down the league table taking bigger scalps.

    Nope Evertonian - just couldn't miss the chance of a dig.

    Having said that I think Sterling is getting a raw deal these days but I suppose that's a consequence of his previous behaviour at the Devils team.

    As for who wins the league - anyone other than the sh**e will do for me.

    Fair enough.

    I suppose being a Scouser is marginally better than being a Mockney Cockney :wink:

    Cheatski will win the league. They've got absolutely no excuses not too really. No European football, easy draw in the FA cup and the refs on their side every game :twisted:

    To lose it now would be the biggest bottle job in history.

    I love it. Absolutely love it!
    Actually, hated it when Manu won instead.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    All that proves is my previous point that Cheatski have the (bent) refs on their side.

    Shame they've never won anything on their own merits :wink:

    FFS Falcao couldn't score for shyte in the PL and he's put two past the light blue trophy dodgers already :)

    Absoloutely shocking! The man deserves better after what he brought the club. The fans must be outraged. Even if they go down he should have been given the opportunity to get them back up.

    This just goes to show how detached from reality some of these foreign owners are.
