Anyone think Chelsea threw something into the deal when sacking Mourinho that he didn't get all his money if he took over someone before a certain time?

I think with a lot of these deals you only get paid until the end of the current year anyway. Silly to be on the line for 20 odd million if it doesn't work out.

It looks pretty clear that Mourinho will be in charge in the summer but if things go completely south, he will come in sooner.

In football terms we are already at the south pole tickling some penguins, how much more south do we need to be?

impossible to go any further south if you are at the south pole, your next step is North

They can even manage to fit all of our injury-free players in one shot now :( :P

No Smalling at training today. just IMAGINE if he is injured!

Hopefully it is just a precaution prior to the Arsenal game.

Keeper is Joel Pereira and 41 is Regan Poole.

Keeper is Joel Pereira and I think 41 is Poole.

Chelsea have only lost 2 more than us and drawn only 1 more
Still in the FA Cup and Champions league

Slightly off topic but it looks like Mata's head is attached to Rojo's back

Pic also gives everyone a chance to bask in the glory of Daley's perfect hair.

It's a bold strategy cotton, lets see how it pays off

Ryan McConnell ex Man Utd youth that moved to finn harps last year....

"In my last year there under Van Gaal, it was all very separate and you didn't get to see the senior players, it didn't feel like a family club anymore. When Fergie was there it was great, everyone was in together, everyone spoke to everyone and no one was bigger than anyone else.
The senior players would have spoken to you in the gym, ask how you were getting on, but towards the end, I felt they were being propelled to being like gods at the club. To me, you're the same person if you're in the Man United first team or not."

doesn't make good reading, shows on the pitch as well

Scroll up the page there and you'll see half the lads training with the first team are youth players.

don't know but all the players ate at the same time under fergie. I remember the incident with Robbie Brady and Ronaldo and fergie told Brady to "man up" after Ronaldo skipped the queue ahead of him

Maybe that's what's wrong with youth players they expect too much respect too soon. Back 20 years ago they had to clean the senior players boots and its not so long ago that the youths trained at a separate centre let alone eat with the first team.

Playing "nuts" with bottlecaps was the order of the day with us. The bating you'd get when it went through your legs :eek:

Empty juice cartons is what we used. I have one fond memory of us kicking a full one though. We were destroyed by Ribera!

Ours had a football pitch!

Though there was no crossbars, just two metal posts. And sides had grass that was 5 feet tall, so if your ball went out of play, it was gone.

But there was a horse in the field next door who'd wander over to spectate.

This reminds me of when we used to get 2 empty bottles/cartons and make a big circle around them, as if a fight was happening. Did it in the school foyer one lunch time and must have had atleast 300/400 of us screaming encouragement at two bottles to kick the head off eachother, teachers running up and down the hall trying to stop the chaos.

School was fun.

Little TSC running around using crossbar to poll vault over wall and land on the horses back in proper western style.

I was watching the u21s today, there seemed to be an awful lot of players missing.

I had it on it the background and i cant remember hearing Willock or Fosu Mensah so i reckon they might be in the squad for tomorrow

Rayne Wooney

I have no problem with the type of segregation that Finn Harps player talks about, there should be a prestige about the first team. The problem is the younger team probably see the first team players as prima-donnas who they could beat on their day and they are probably right too

It was a silly move by Moyes at the time.
