Does that mean you want to step up instead?
Isn't that already a given anyways?

It seems to be split down the middle wrt fans afaict. Personally I don't want him, just never taken a liking to him at all. I mean what has happened here shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, Chelsea and RA knew what they were getting when they brought him back.

Seems like a logical place to go, the FA would lap him up I'd imagine and he could basically name his price. Only thing that might be against it is the fact its an international job and not a day to day one.

SHATS FIRED

@sootedpowa

Why would I take a spot with little to no edge(goatian seems pretty solid from his posting) and have money tied up when I can play dfs on dk every week instead.

Hu on dk or mondogoal if you want though for up to 500 a match week if you want.

Nice to see ****s sticking up for each other

I'm not the one posting how they wouldn't get action like that on FPL then backing out when pulled up on it. That's whats embarrassing

That said sure, I will go vs DuckSauce on FPL next season for $1k with a suitable escrow.

To be fair I'm overrated, I'm not even doing well this season and I sold Mahrez in gameweek 5 which says it all!

Your post was specifically about a season long FPL bet where you bragged you wouldn't have got action like that. Someone else has pulled you up on it and offered you $10k and you declined (lol) and I have offered $1k. I don't have these other sites and your original post was not about action on them anyway. Put up or shut up imo.

I didn't brag about anything I was just curious if the thread would have wanted to put as much action on tp if he had played me instead of zee.

Disclaimer: I will never have any desire to put up large action for season long leagues. The value I can add is just extremely minimal compared to daily fantasy due to transfer restrictions and limited events that earn points.

If you want to talk **** though I'll happily play you hu on mondogoal or draftkings for 500 a game week.

competition every 2 years would be a good fit for the high intensity management style of TSO.

****ed drunk at another Christmas party. No way he goes to utd. Sad the lols are finally over.

+1 langerdang karplanski plan

TSO would probably just try to buy other countries' best youngsters to try to loan them out to Trinidad and Tobago.

This makes a lot of sense. What outrageous amount is Hodgson earning per year? I'm sure the FA would back the truck up for The Special One.

Watched an excerpt of his interview on YouTube. He refers to Chelsea as a "big club" four times in about three minutes. Embarrassing.

Sir Bobby doesn't like Jose and was the reason we didn't get him after Fergie.

He won't have changed his mind, Jose won't be coming to O.T

Agree with bandit, Jose > Giggs AINEC don't even know what Giggs is doing these days. I refuse to believe he's happy with the shower of **** performances we're putting out week in week out.

Chelsea are going to end up beating Sunderland 2 or 3-0 now, it's nailed on.

Shame he wasn't sacked after our game with them as they're probably gonna beat us now!

tbf chelsea were 1.35 to beat s'land before the sacking, mainly because s'land are terrible and relegation bound

I'd feel more confidant if Jose was in charge for the lols to continue lol

Afraid the Brazilian lads aren't going to be able to do that

José's next club to be Real Madrid is free money.

3/1

Mou replacing Rafa is the only obvious scenario I guess, although I think that Rafa was always going to get a harder ride than he deserves.

But if the fuccbois at RM don't take to him (as expected) than I guess he shouldn't have been hired in the first place.

RM really is the anus of top football clubs. Such a piece of **** club.

Whatsapp is banned in Brazil but the Chelsea Brazilian players are not in Brazil and therefore still have whatsapp.

Been watching some old United clips. It really gives you some perspective. I remember the good times, hell, I was in Moscow when we beat Chelsea 2008.

I've been watching clips on the absolutely devastating counter-attacking football that United used to play, and seeing it from afar, made me remember Fergie-ball. It was intense counter-attacking football. Loads of goals, throwing caution to the wind, and never giving up.
We were not trying to "dominate" the game or anything of the sort. It was just winning. By any means necessary; a certain Fergie way of winning.

Nostalgia. Never have I had any purer feeling.

Times have changed. Fergie left. Before he had planned. Before the right people could be put in place, at every level. Both at the top level, and at at the squad level. He never planned to leave with the situation as it was. Personal factors were involved; i refuse to believe that he did not see the medium-term short-comings that the squad that won the title in 2012/2013 carried.
But he had to skip town when he did, and finding a worthy successor, in the best of times, would have been an almost impossible ask. Moyes was not the third choice, not the fourth choice, but an emergency choice. He was never the man to lead the re-building. But he had enough credentials to be able to qualify as a maybe candidate. A let's "wait and see" prospect.

Moyes took an aging squad, one that had overperformed the season before, and made an attempt to live up to the standards of Manchester United. He obviously failed, as all know, and most would have predicted.
This is not a slight on Moyes. David Moyes is a competent football manager and is good at what he does. Credit to him for taking the shot. Credit to him for making the step, taking a chance on whether or not he could survive on the next plateu.

What had been made brutally clear, when Moyes was sacked, was the times had changed. We no longer had untouchable status. What had been built over the past two decades was a thing of the past. We had/have the commercial appeal and financial muscle that 20 years at the top of world football entails, but the institutional memory is gone with David Gill and Sir Alex Ferguson. Now we have a green-behind-the-ears director in Edward Woodward and an ultra-pragmatic manager in Louis Van Gaal.

Now we have to ask ourselves: What did we expect, after Fergie and David Gill? One of them leaving would have been bad enough, but let's focus on Fergie, for the time being. Fergie, armed with whatever methods he utilized, kept life and bravado in a team that was not necessarily always the best, on paper. He even conjured up elite-level performances from starting elevens that were definitely more than the some of their parts. Obviously, as most know, his teams weren't always perfect, and we often performed poorly and undershot expectations.

So again, I ask, what are our expectations? To be, still, at the pinnacle of the football world?
Is that a realistic demand from a team that has, only periodically, satisfied that demand, and under one of the greatest football managers of all time, no less?

It is easy to see, why some fans have a hard time releasing the grip of the image of excellence, "The United way" and all that crap. But it is necessary that the fans do so, for the club to survive. If the fan-base turns into the circus and ****-show we see at some other elite clubs we may be in for an experience that is common, but not common to United: Being a spectacle.

The objective perspective that is most healthiest, in my opinion, is that we are, for all intents and purposes, a 'Munich disaster'. Our legendary manager of 20+ years left us. To compound the effect he left in a hurry, and consequently had not set up a smooth transition. We needed a total revamp of the entire playing squad.
His successor was not up to the task, and we had a serious risk of long-term ruin.

Our current manager is competent but stubborn. He's set in his ways and, not necessarily, longed for the modern game.
He has an extensive history of coming into former power-houses at their lower points, and beginning the first step to revitalization, be that squad- or system building.
As an aside, it is quite interesting that Pep Guardiola has been, in a sense, the benefactor of the ground-work that he has laid, on two separate occasions.

Now, to tie this all together to the current day: Times have changed. The transition in attitude is soon to be complete. Football-wise, we are not an elite club at this moment, and the rebuilding that has been undertaken has been effective, but ultimately fallen short of expectations.

We have a strong squad. Young players, that have in all likelihood solid careers ahead of them are secure with us: Blind, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Memphis, Martial, Smalling, Darmian, Herrera, De Gea, Jones (injuries, I know) and more.
In my opinion, LVG has dones his job and more than that. He has started the rebuilding process and we are competitive, even so soon after the smoldering ruins of the post-Fergie confusion. Not much is needed to propell us back into the elite.

If all you care about is the short-term; then I concede, it is easy to be outraged. But I plead to all United fans to try and see the big picture.
Louis Van Gaal has, and always will be, a temporary stop-gap to what is (hopefully) a long term solution. So as of today, I beg of you to override the emotional response to the lacklustre attacking football and both: give LVG time to finish his interim job and recognize that we are on par with what our expectations should be given our circumstances.

Let us hope that we stay firmly in the top 4; else we reconsider our stance on the man calling the shots.
At any other rate, let us reconvene at the end of the season.

In a sense...

so will Hazard play tomorrow or what?
