Richards. Manhandling Januzaj like an infant.

'Gana'

Absolutely unacceptable! It's his middle name 

Van Gaal is a bust man 

Man U have blown it again. Another garbage manager 

Wayne "better footballer than Shearer" Rooney there

Old man Rooney. Looks an absolute state. 

Also, just me, or is Depay turboshit?

Very passive so far. Seems nervous.

Man U look garbage. Again!

Cross that first time Veratout!

Memphis on the left 

Mata still out on the right 

Young on the bench

 

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL f***? I PLAYED MY WILDCARD FOR THIS s***?

Sam Allardyce  ;D

"'The West Ham Way' is obviously not winning every week, like I tried to do," he said to beIN SPORTS, according to the Daily Mirror.

 

 

 

"I did everything they asked for and they wanted more, and I found that extremely ungrateful in terms of what I'd done for them.

 

"They thought we could get into Europe and thought they might be able to get to a cup final, and that wasn't in the format of the job description when I started.

 

"I don't take kindly to people who don't appreciate what you do for them.

 

"We both decided to part company in quite an amicable way in the end, but I certainly wasn't going to stay, in my mind, for a long, long time.

 

"If [West Ham co-owners] David Sullivan and David Gold have told [new manager] Slaven Bilic that they expect to get into Europe this year then I think it's way beyond the capabilities of the squad at this moment in time.

 

"I told them that. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why they didn't renew my contract in the end?

 

"West Ham was a case of building a broken football club back up again. [Getting West Ham promoted] was the biggest job I had done in one season.

 

"Ultimately, my biggest problem was finishing 10th in the first year [back in the Premier League] -- I would have been much better off finishing fourth from bottom!"

:lol:

The state of Mourinho man.

Don't have it Jill. He was definitely calling you out.

Bold prediction: We will sell Obertan for £20 million next summer 

People are going to screw up in fantasy football if they don't sort their stuff out by this evening. 

Seeing Anita and Obertan in the first game, I'm actually looking forward to seeing how some of our other guys look after having worked with the new team for a good while now. Rviere, Cabella and Marveaux in particular.

The only guy I have completely written off, and want to see no part of is Mike Williamson.

Argh! And maybe Gouffran too, unless he is used upfront. On the wing, no more.

We need to let the man have his fun with Obertan.

He won't play him if he starts stinking up, so it's just a matter of letting it play out. As things stand the guy contributed to a good result for us, so we have to let it ride out.

Obertan has no confidence or self belief. McClaren has the personality to get the best out of these types, so it will be interesting to see what happens with him being given a chance.

Ultimately though, I'm looking forward to Cabella and Aarons getting a run in that position, and being afforded the same encouragement.

There was an article about Obertan the other day, and he was essentially saying he doesn't take time off, and trains through his holidays. He usually comes back already conditioned, and top in all the fitness tests. You can kind of see how the coaches would respect and appreciate that and want to reward it.

But yeah ... the sooner the others catch up the better.

Neil how has Cleverley looked so far? I need a cheaper midfielder for my fantasy team. Is he starting for you guys on the left?

Yeah, the Europe experience is key, and the hiring of Cathro was great. I think most people were far more encouraged when that happened, and rightly so.

Don't mind Leicester as much now Ranieri's in charge. Dude is hilarious.

Well there you go. Same difference.

It's a hell of an improvement that's for sure 

Looking back I think the fact Sherwood came on board was always a good sign. He's so full of it, that he would never have come on board if he wasn't given assurances you guys wouldn't continue buying garbage like last summer.

Sherwood is a bit annoying, but I respect him. He seems to have something about him as a manager. The guy actually got Tom Cleverley scoring goals towards the end of last season, so there is some miracle working power there.

Villa having fun this window. Lucky brummie.

Looking forward to the game tonight. Think they'll cause Man U problems.

Wasn't impressed with Froggy's crew against Spurs at all. They better get Memphis out on the left pronto if they hope to do anything this season. Rooney was looking so old too, and he's their only striker.

Honest question ... I know Sunderland is supposed to be the pits, but it can't be much worse than places like Stoke and Hull, right?

Why are they always unable to get any half decent players? 

Look at who Stoke are signing, and even though Hull went down, I think their team was infinitely better, and actually had some talent.

Really baffling.
