it's not weird at all. It's a sympathy story that he's planted.

Feel sorry for him, and don't notice that the team is crap. ;)

I don't feel sorry for him. Hes laughing about it in the interview so its the papers that have put a very negative spin on it. But you'd expect a manager of a big club to live in the city or commit to the area full time. Not paying by the night and eating Nandos and Pizza Express on the bed watching hotel TV.

PS: also saying to the Man Utd bigwigs...

"You can't threaten me with the sack for being crap, cos i'm telling you I'm nearly gone already".

But it's really Moaniho pleading to keep the job, and not him saying he's off.

Any talk of him being sacked after 9 games from anyone is insanity.

But the pressure is growing all the same.

Parking the bus at Liverpool and then rolling over at Chelsea - and it was rolling over, the players didn't look like they were trying too hard - plus a loss tonight to City are not what's expected of Utd manager, and going backwards after LvG had started to turn things around just adds further to that.

So he's trying to take the pressure off.

Yeah he does that a lot alright. No doubt it worrying but its too early for him to be under any serious pressure.

Agree theres a concern there about players trying aswell. Wouldn't get away with some of the defending over the past week in an astro 5 a side.  

Look at Bailly here at 50 seconds. 4 nil up or not, imagine the bollocking he would've gotten from Fergie? And hes the best defender at the club.

So Nal what's happened to all this attacking football Jose was going to do?

Fairly attacking vs Fenerbache and Chelsea. Got hammered on the counter vs Chelsea granted. But 56% possession and 16 shots at the Bridge. Thats progress. LVG was averaging those sort of attacking stats per month.

It's no coincidence that fergie didn't sign to many ready made 'world class? Players. 

Different times and all but Keane, Rio, Berbatov, Veron, RVN, RVP, Rooney, Stam, Barthez, Cole, Yorke, Tevez, ....... Mal Donaghy.

But he was working with a youth system in a culture that gave players and managers a bit of time. Players and managers don't get time anymore. Hence people saying Mourinho is done after 9 fucking games! :lol: 

Good thing Utd fans didn't say it about Fergie. Would be 50 years since Utd last won the league if that were the case. 

I bet Liverpool fans are glad they didn't say that about Klopp. He has a bad run at one stage. And Mourinho at his first season back at Chelsea. Won the league the following season. 

This is a transitional season. Utd are not going to challenge for the league. A bit of stability, an implemented philosophy and top 4 is the goal.

At least Pep didn't feel he had to put out the big boys.

Dunno what happened there tho - Utd were dire in the first half, and like a different team in the 2nd. Speed in the half time orange?

 

Maybe Pep should have. He was deliriously happy with the loss.

It'll take time for him. First time hes coached in a competitive league. They're still top of the league mind you!

I for one am thrilled that José got the win last night. Hopefully he can stay in the job for a very long time...

Any idea why Rooney didn't make the squad last night? Was he totally dropped, or has he got a knock?

Looks like there was quite a bit of fighting at Upton Park / The Olympic Stadium / The Boris Johnson Stadium last night. Seems like West Ham might have a bit of problem again. Anyone remember the Man Utd game last year? Starting to become a bit more regular...
