It's time we looked at Jose and hold him accountable for getting inside contes head.

Yeah. It's been since his comments that chelsea broke.

Afaik, only one team kept a clean sheet this weekend too.

Been a perfect weekend.

jayo26

Would of preferred Chelsea to get a draw to be honest I think conte will be gone pretty asap.

Rossi IRL

Whenever Chelsea lose or are losing I always get a cheeky grin on my face.

More so than if it was Arsenal, Spurs, City or even Pool. Don't get me wrong I still get a grin or even a fit of laughter at some teams but there is something special about CHELSEA losing with Conte as manager.

J. Marston

Only team to keep a clean sheet this weekend too.

David Luiz playing for Watford here

jayo26

I know Chelsea only have 10 men but Watford have been fantastic even before the sending off. Delefeou going to be a big addition for them.

tinofapples

Taxi for Conte ....... TONIGHT !! What a poisonous club.

Lord TSC

Think I read that Conte was their 13th manager in 10 years.

But it's Jose's fault he struggled at Chelsea :P

J. Marston

Read on Twitter that Chelsea have 2 wins from 10 since Conte and Mourinho started slinging mud.

Liam McPoyle

Joses fault.

I can see it now.

Jose sitting down on his sofa, glass of wine in the hand and a big grin on his face

I wonder could we prise Kante from Chelsea this summer if they don't get top four? It seems as though they can't match the prices that the likes of United and City are paying for players and they badly need some investment, especially if they lose Hazard this summer to Madrid. Worrying times for Chelsea regardless.

DM_7

Jaysus Bournemouth at home and now Watford are two awful results. I wonder if they will be after a change before Barca?

What is Di Matteo up to?

Once they leave Jose alone :pac:

Wonder will Conte be called “poison” at the club like Jose was? Doubtful.

Delighted anyway. Have little time for Chelsea as a club and even less for Conte.
Got a free ride from the English press imo.
Will be gone in the coming days you’d imagine with Chelsea’s track record.

Two appalling results back to back in what was already a poor run.

No sympathy for any of them involved.

jaykay74

Well its not a mirror image but its a decent attempt and getting better :pac:

"....for sure we want to avoid the Mourinho season with Chelsea...."

Andrew Beef

Jose must smile when he thinks of the toxic regimes he’s left behind and the total stability he enjoys now. One of the world’s biggest clubs, autonomy in terms of transfers, and owners who don’t interfere. But then he’ll only be with us for three years, won’t he?

hufpc8w3adnk65

Wazza on Sky has been excellent so far

Andrew Beef

So much for the advantages of continuity; since 2012, every manager who has won the league has departed the following season, with all of them sacked except Fergie.

2013 - Mancini
2014 - Fergie retires
2015 - Pellegrini
2016 - Mourinho
2017 - Ranieri
2018 - Conte (probably)

Extraordinary.

Lord TSC

Good news for those who don't like Pep then :P

One can only wonder how that day was a part of how the club is as we see it today.

Had it not happened, where would it be today?

Would we be better or worse off.

Adamocovic

Placed a cheeky bet down yesterday for Watford to win, didn't keep up to date with the score and only found out the result this morning.

Probably for the best as I'd have cashed out no questions asked haha! Needed that. Pool and Chelsea both dropping points has relieved a little bit of the pressure on us, but should be looking to convincingly beat Newcastle now.

Losing a golden generation, a team that was only finding it's stride, I think it's reasonable to say we lost a few European Cups when they died so tragically. But it's not about that really, it's about United's unrivalled youth policy. A policy that gave us The Flowers Of Manchester and a policy that helped us rebuild when we lost them. That's why playing the kids means everything, that's why Jose giving the young 17 year old Angel Gomes, his few minutes recently means everything. Because it's what United is all about. The reason United has 700 million supporters around the globe, is because of The Flowers Of Manchester, the football we've played and our world famous youth academy.

It's the most romantic story in football, a young generation that would have dominant for years, wiped out so cruelly. A club that couldn't even fill the team sheet for the league game after Munich. But we rebuilt and became the biggest club in the world and didn't need any dodgy billionaires help while doing it. That's why United will always be special and always unique. When the FA threatened to ban United if they entered the European Cup, Sir Matt couldn't careless and ignored them. Because he believed in good football and that it should not be confined within borders. So when you get clueless haters chanting "We support our local team." Our reply should be "We support a GLOBAL team." And we became a global team for the tragedy we survived, a tragedy that should have wiped us out but didn't, because we're Man United and we'll never die.

Rooney was excellent last night on mnf. Give another real insight into the genius of sir alex and his man management. "Some games we went out and our team talk was you are better 11 than them and that was it" brilliant

Jose's record away to Chelsea is not good.

Just thinking it would be pretty funny if Jose rocks up at a presser in a top, with AC stitched on it, for "support" haha.

He definitely has that top ready to go in his wardrobe

Funny to see the entire narrative of the Liverpool v Spurs game was rewritten last night. Must be something to do with that alternative league.

RobbingBandit

Curse of West Brom if Conte hangs on that's their next game on Monday personally I hope he's still Capo when we play them just to see the Cheshire Cat like grin on Jose as we hammer them in two weeks.

Really good piece on bbc on the former secretary of the club and how his mother and aunt were the laundry ladies at the club in 1958 very touching.

Liverpool also offered 5 players and would pay their wages in full

Jaysus I'd be honoured, but for a nominal fee of course.:D

Only joking, but sometimes I think we forget who we are and I was thinking that when I typed it. Sometimes we get sucked in engaging with the trolls & haters. When we shouldn't really waste our time doing that, because you can't buy our history, class or pedigree and it oozes from our world famous club in abundance.

I see Metro are trolling saying that De Gea has changed his contract demands after Sanchez’s arrival at United
With no source either
