Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

You'd swear it was something incriminating, though I can stand by literally every comment I make. I do also find it interesting that Mick, when confronted with a genuine football opinion, can just post "nope" and then post links to 4(?) Year old match threads and have no intention to talk about football. All this and yet, on this forum, I am the infamous one?
In fairness it is a bit mad that a thread like that still resonates on someones radar but I have just had a gawk at a few of the comments you made on there and I can kind of see why!!
Although you will try to deny, or refuse to concede the hypocrisy with regard the criticism you are throwing at Jose and the patronising of United fans who have "to put up with/watch his stale brand of anti-football", it is clearly evident.
""Jose Mourinho, Jose Mourinho" rings around Anfield, the Portuguese man of war has done it again. The best manager of his generation,( Bridesmaid Pep? ) kook at that celebration, he's Chelsea through and through (
). His team have gone out there today under a black cloud and they've performed Mourinho's vision to perfection."
Come on AIG, you have been reading football books since 3! You can't just swap and change your opinion on the "best manager of his generation " in a year or so to such a drastic degree.
I just typed in best manager of his generation Mourinho boards.ie Andersonisgod into google and numerous threads came up!
I am sure if I done the same with Pep, they would come up also!
You applaud that Chelsea team and most notably Jose's management of them and admit that all they need is a 20 goal striker like Costa and you can't give Jose, at United, the benefit of the doubt that he is trying to build a similar project at United.
25 league games unbeaten, one defeat in all competitions since that time, multiple scoring chances missed in majority of all those draws they couldn't turn into wins during that time, an injury ravaged squad at times and players like Valencia, Rojo and Bailly who have barely got a match off and are playing twice a week most weeks..
What if we get Griezzmann next year alongside Rashford? Don't have half the injury crisis we had, have Pogba more settled in, a couple more players.
Maybe you just watched the "big United games" during this season.
What has made your idolisation of Jose back then depreciate to pure mockery at times in the intervening period or, more aptly, since he joined United?
Or am I answering my own question there?0 -

The only thing about that quote I'm embarrassed about is spelling the word "look" wrong.
Was I wrong? I dunno. In 2014(?) Is Mourinho one of the best coaches in the world? It's debatable. Ok, Real Madrid was a complete debacle, while it's a serious black mark against Mourinho clearly I was willing to overlook it as a blip. Was I biased? Possibly him being the new Chelsea coach, replacing Benitez, did influence my feelings at the time and perhaps that was wrong. Do I think I was wrong to consider Mourinho among the best coaches in the world in 2014? No, I don't.
Of course 3 years on, the Chelsea job will be viewed as a disappointment. The coach in question has become more bitter and more entrenched in his view that everyone is out to get him. His boiling point, normally reserved for the 3rd season of his tenures, suddenly occur far earlier than that. All of that against a backdrop of wonderfully talented, progressive coaches rising to the top of the game, and now this woefully poor first campaign with the squad he has at his disposal at Man Utd. In 2017, is Mourinho one of the best coaches in the world? No.
I can't. The direction he's moving in is wrong. There's nothing to suggest otherwise this season. With that squad Man Utd should be winning this league. Unlike at Chelsea at the time where they needed a 20 goal a season striker, Man Utd have one of the top 10 players in the world in Ibrahimovic, they've got a squad the envy of every other in England but the football he has them playing is dire, particularly compared to the other top 5 teams in the league.
Football has moved on, turns out Real Madrid wasn't a blip, it was the rest of Mourinho's career, he's never recovered from it. By all means do save a link to this match thread, get back to me in 3 years and let's see how this prediction/assessment of Mourinho stands up.0 -

Jose's first season at United has been "woefully poor"???????
What a ridiculous comment. Normally reserved for the teenage posters on the threads.
They have played circa 65 games this season and counting, unbeaten run in the league for 25, could finish 3rd or 4th with a bit of luck (most likely not though), have won a trophy, on the verge of winning another after a gruelling campaign, a European one. They were eliminated in the 1/4 finals of the other with 10 men for almost the whole game to the league winners (who they comprehensively beat a few games later)
Have been subjected to freakish injuries, which has left Jose with a somewhat depleted squad for the last few months with plenty of injuries the first half of the season.
He has got the most out of Zlatan, a 35 year old man scoring almost 30 goals this season, has helped Rashford through a sticky non scoring period and kept his confidence up and look at him now.
Has built a brilliant defence despite all the injuries endured.
He has rejuvenated Mkitaryan.
Herrera is like a new player, Fellaini has impressed, as have Lingaard and Martial, and Valencia is one of the best full backs in the league.
Pogba, despite all the detractors, to the keen football observer has had a good season and will only get better.
"Woeful season"
Now I know you are a, well you know the accusation that can't be used on boards' threads!
Twist it with your AIG spin, your "best squad in England" nonsense and your media fighting sh1t talk.
I don't care. You have proven yourself to just be bias and a fraud despite all your book reading since you were 3.0 -
