If you want to bother looking for the reverse angle you'll see his arm doesn't even touch him. Welbeck could have even gotten to the ball, he knew what he was doing the entire time and even with a ref right in front of him they still gave it. Ban worthy IMO. The fact that he's in the England squad is hilarious as well but then if you have Hart, Livermore, Rose, Wilshire etc it's not a very high bar to make I guess.
For the CL draw, definitely bullshit that we're having to play ManC instead of a non-EPL team. Also moving the derby to the early game on Saturday is ridiculous.

Think Mourinho has finally lost it. I don't usually spend much time watching coaches press conferences as they usually just say the same shit but his today just took the cake and reminded me of his Chelsea days right before he was fired. If I were a fan I'd be pretty furious to hear the shit he is coming out with now.

Mourinho is such an enigmatic figure. He is a football genius, im sorry but he is, yet he is utterly incapable of humility or perspective. Lets face it, United has been in shambles since Furgeson left, when Jose came in he did right the ship, winning silverware in the process and securing a CL birth in his first year.
Then he loses to Sevilla in humiliating fashion, and cant just take the loss like a man and give credit where its due, he shifts blame to "tradition" and outside forces....lol. The fucking guy is so self absorbed he is incapable of rising above bullshit or mitigating failure or conflict. I mean they would have probably been thrashed by Bayern in the next round even if they had won, but at least that would have been a more respectable result, where progress was made and the fanbase can feel good.
Instead they go out in flames and Mou is on the verge of losing control not even 2 years in. He usually has a 2-3 year shelf life, if he continues like this he isnt going to have any shelf life or will be coaching in the Portuguese league.

No need to apologise, he absolutely is capable of tactical genius and I never go into a match vs a Jose team with any confidence. It's baffling how he can mastermind the 2-1 vs Liverpool by targeting TAA and Lovren then be scared to attack a team that LFC scored 5 against over two matches.

Heard that they are sending Alexis off for x-rays today, to see if he has a goal in him.

Personally I think Mourinho is lucky more than he's a genius. The English media continue to just eat it up though while the Italians and Spanish saw right through his shit. Good for him though, he's profited from it immensely and his children and children's children will never have to work a hard day in their life if they so choose. After that dogshit against Brighton I guess he had 6 or 7 players out there that couldn't understand what his two days of training meant and so again the players are at fault for the performance. At some point he's going to run out of players to throw under the bus.
Anyway, was a joy to watch this today. Britos got Boetang'd I'd say.

I tried telling you guys Slash was that guy, if I wasdnt a lazy slug I would go back in this thread to find my post from September predicting Salah' s rise.
I'm not right about many things, but I knew this kid was special since his Chelsea days. He is in scintillating form for Egypt as well, having multiple star turns and crucial goals to help them qualify for this year's World Cup.
He is up to 28 Prem goals, Kane is not catching him now, player of the year has been secured.

I just checked and your first post about him was October 30th, well into the season, LOL. I'd have been more impressed if you tipped him when he was signed

Oh, my fault I was a month or so off in my memory, but I have believed in him while he was riding the bench at Chelsea. When he had success in Rome I had a good feeling about him.
Anyone who said Mo Salah was going to be Liverpool's best player and the talisman of the squad in August or even early September would be hailed as a savant. Sorry I was a month late with my assessments, give me a break we are almost in April, no one could have dreamed he would be the delight of the Prem come the end of the campaign.
