yea we had a green as well, goalposts and all, all changed though when they start building houses so we moved to the road.

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.

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.

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

Is it wrong that I actually think he shouldn't have been sold when he was? :P

Good things Phil Jones is not playing, he would injure himself.

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 · 24-02-2016 05:45PM

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.

Jayop · 24-02-2016 06:21PM

OK, so I'm starting to come around to the idea of Mourinho being United manager. Now that I've done that it'll probabvly not happen but finally after years of saying I didn't want him it's starting to creep in.

I saw this posted in RC, pretty fecking amazing record.

His managerial career so far. (Some of the FA Cups are Copa Del Reys.)
Season 1 - League, Uefa Cup
Season 2 - League, Champions League
Season 3 - League, League Cup
Season 4 - League
Season 5 - FA cup, League cup
Season 6 - League
Season 7 - League, FA cup, Champions League
Season 8 - FA Cup
Season 9 - League
Season 10 -
Season 11 - Hilariously ended Liverpool's title dream.
Season 12 - League, League Cup

Yes he needed to go when he did and get some game time under his belt. How many games did he play compared to Rafa who was injured half the time, I'd say the ratio was about 10:1 in rafa's favour

You can say what you want about Jose the person, but you can't say that Jose the manager doesn't deliver trophies. Really enjoyed reading season 11 earlier

i dont mind the trophy-less period we have, weve had a great 10-15 years so i can do without a trophy for a while - it would be nice to win FA cup though.

however, my biggest issue is we seem to be becoming irrelevent at the top table of football and we are now in a suituation where very few fans are confident of us winning any game, no matter who we are playing. nobody fears us, nobody respects us - a top manager like Jose would bring that back.

if jose came in, i think getting top 3 next season would be first step and maybe winning league cup or something like that.

I see, if I understand the point you are making is that he started off incredibly and then peaked at season 7 and has been patchy ever since only managing 2 league titles from season 8 to season 12 so we should steer well clear as he is very obviously in decline! :pac:

Arsenal went through ****e there for how many years. At least they were always in the top 4 and playing mostly very good football.

Rayne Wooney · 24-02-2016 08:17PM

His rough period came in a time when he was completely at a disadvantage, up against one of the best club squads of all time. If you swapped the level of quality there is no chance his period between 2010-2013 would be so barren

Fergie always came second to Pep, and it wasn't because of their respective managerial abilities

If the club are smart and make it a somewhat level playing field with City and Arsenal then he will do the business

You could only say his "rough period" is over by discounting season 13 which was the worst of his career.

Quoting this simply because it's the greatest quote from Dodgeball.

the 6 teams who are currently in europe have only won 13 out of 41 games played the weekend after mid-week european games.

the longer City and Spurs stay in, the better for us you would imagine. i can see both of them doing much better than us in Europe, so it coud leave the door open in the league....slightly. spurs have only 3 wins out of 13 in the Thursday-Sunday turnaround.

Liverpool have the worst record of all, only 1 win.

If it wasn't for Liverpool, this season could have felt so much worse. You always think 'Christ this season is so bad', but then you remember, oh no wait......

Thank you Liverpool

As a Villa fan thats all we can hold onto at the moment, we may be getting relegated, but hey at least Liverpool fans have to wait another year for it to be their year.
Next year will be awesome, they have Klopp one of the best around, it will be amazing when they finish 7th

For anyone that's interested, a good article on Simeone

I'm not the only one that thinks he should be considered for the Utd job.
