    Mourinho has joined Conte in the "I'm daring my club to sack me" boat.

    His post match interview smacked of someone who doesn’t really GAF.

    Lost his edge, the game has evolved past him. Don’t attack his team and he doesn’t have any answers.

    Mourinho has lost touch and it appears he has lost his marbles in the process. Absolutely * embarrassing coming out with what he has after the game, mentioning the Porto and Madrid victories there.


    I couldn’t be further from being a United fan, and enjoyed seeing that result tonight like most on here would have but I have to say it’s sad what United have become in recent years. Grew up always enjoying watching them play in Europe as they were generally exciting to watch and always providing entertaining football against whatever opposition they were up against.

    Spending hundreds of millions of pounds and going to Seville and blatantly not trying to score (what is normally crucial in these ties) an away goal was embarrassing and I’m glad they got their just rewards for it.

    Mourinho is a * and I’m glad his horrid style of football isn’t bringing him the success it once did.

    Hope this result doesn't cast a shadow over the Man United chairman's big Trump fund-raiser in LA tonight.

    Part of me wanted them to get the second goal but go out on away goals. The commentators were saying after the first leg how 0-0 was exactly what United needed and they were in the driving seat.

    Fannies.

    They said Man Utd controlled the first leg as well which is absolute pish.

    De Gea kept them in the tie.

    My * really? 42 times. No wonder Wenger sold him :56: Arsenal players aren't allowed to do that per season.

    It's just such blatant, untrue bullshit. Heard someone who did the numbers on 0-0 first leg results in CL knockout ties and the away side advances in the second leg something like 70% of the time historically. Away goals are huge.

    Scholes at HT was the absolute worst,his description of Sevilla was a joke, you honestly would have thought they were facing some lower league team in the FA cup.

    Who posted the twitter feed of Kris Voakes? I can't view them in the forum, I just see the word Twitter in a post and copy the URL into another tab.
    Anyway it's hilarious. I didn't quite catch on what he was saying in the post match interview. I knew his tone was disrespectful and he was quite dismissive of losing to a team who although much better than the media presented them, with the transfer fees he's been given to spend, it's to win this trophy not the fecking EPL. Every big spending team covets the CL as do their fans and players so to employ the tactics he did away then home was ridiculous.

    But to paraphrase what he said was "look what's the big deal? Man Utd have been here before. I put them out with Porto then I put them out again with Madrid, it's not something new so there is nothing to worry about." :56:

    He really is a disrespectful egoist. A spoilt brat. He'll be looking forward to the media furore now. I have an inkling he wants sacked because losing to Sevilla doesn't bother him, he's got a few UCL trophies, it's that bastardo Pep who he hates getting beat by because he's diminished Mourinho's legacy when he reinvented the game with academy players and the world had never seen such imaginative and exhilarating football. Those are superlatives that will never be associated with Mourinho. Negative tactics he is more the master of. And now Pep * * him he's doing it again although this time with money.
    Pep trolled his Madrid team, though he did win the league once, Barca were regarded as the masters and the Madrid fans hated his tactics then he fell out with the players.
    He should be remembered as a genius but he invented nothing, defensive football had been around for a long time mainly used by underdogs.

    Thanks to whoever posted the twitter links :50:

    Oh sorry I forgot to add the world had never seen such football since Celtic played 8 forwards against the best defence in the world. That was something the world had never seen before then coincidentally Ajax start playing it and calling it Total Football. Ironically it comes full circle because it was the Ajax coach who first started changing the way Barca played then Cruyff really got serious about them playing total football, Pep just made a paradigm shift with it making the most of the gift he was given in the shape of Messi who could make Pep's dream happen. He is a marvelous coach though. And it all started with Jock and Sean :62:

    Didn’t Mourinho just get a new contract like a month ago as well?
