Pissed on virtually every right-back? What a load of nonsense that is. Routledge was the only winger pissing on players for us that season.

GET THE FUCKING FUCK IN!

Die in a fire, you old cunt.

He was average for the best team by far in the Championship 5 years ago. He's got nothing left to bring to the table but waning work rate.

I don't want to keep harping on about Ancelotti but the bloke's absolute class from head to toe. Every inch the younger more astute version of Keegan. The man's won the European Cup 5 times and he has the humility to take responsibility and publically say sorry when his team progresses with a poor performance. Contrast this with Alan Pardew who spent his physical prime mincing about in the lower leagues and up ladders scrubbing windows. Didn't even have the decency to apologise for us getting dicked by the likes of Brighton.

What's the point of this post?

He was only in England and France 2 seasons each. Still only in his 2nd in Spain. Basically, as daft lad says his league record in Italy wasn't great. That's what brings it down.

He's won the league in England, Italy and France, mind. I'd argue he only had the best squad in one of them, too.

Is it really 5 yellow cards for his diving in 2 seasons in English football? Little shit should be jailed.

The pair of them are an absolute disgrace. The manager's a fucking cunt for telling his players to do that - which van Gaal has a history of longer than my arm.

Ancelotti's the greatest but I have to admit, every time I've since Real this calendar year they've been underwhelming at best and totally dysfunctional at worst. Something's wrong there.

Defensive midfielders are ultimately a side effect of the pragmatism that has engulfed English football since European influence became prominent around 15 years ago. Fortunately I think they're now basically a dying breed, while some sides - namely Man U - have never deployed them with genuine regularity.

You're saying there's no criticism deserved for what Man U have served up this season with all that investment? I think you're the buffoon, personally.

But so much so you had to quote it twice?

It's streaming on BBC iPlayer for those of us whose significant other has the TV rights on Mondays.

I'm amazed so many on here seem to disagree with that sentiment given the sickening Cheick Tiote love-in that's been going on for almost half a decade.

Does it really matter?

Safe to say nee forrins who spit at people in that picture.

I've always thought that CMs should basically be able to do everything. Ideally you want two like Dyer and Speed - able to contribute defensively and offensively in different ways.

You're alright, man.

Aye. It's the Hull City manager's fault one of Europe's colossal talents of a decade ago has pissed his career down the drain.

That's the least funny thing I've read on here in almost a year.

And he's contributed more than Smith. Overran's crap but not Smith crap.

I can guaranteed you'll never hear such a shift in perception of a player's ability when he signed for Man U in 2004. Then again, they all wanted to sign him again in 2011 when it became clear we wanted nowt to do with him.

Also worth noting that he was never that good to begin with.
