That was some outburst from Conte yesterday, can’t see him making to Easter.

I'm not knocking it 😄, but yes, poorer than he should be. No real excuse at that level.
Surely he has blown it with both the players and owners? Deliberately, he has got his dig in early.
He’s consistent he’d blown it with fans some time ago. Feels like he’s expediting what he knows is coming.

And people wondered why I didn’t want him anywhere near Old Trafford?
Wouldn't want him anywhere near my club. His ego is huge, and he is deflecting criticism away from himself.
He may well have a point that the quality of players, generally, is not good enough to properly challenge for trophies. But, as a manager, it is his job to instil a good structure and work effort and spirit amongst those he manages. Coming out publicly like that is humiliating for them, but more so for him.

Leicester are going down.
I prefer to have that thought in my head and then have a possibility of being pleasantly surprised.
The alternative is several weeks of anguish, hopes and prayers - for it all to come to
Free the MOTD one!
Ooh, sorry, that's sorted. Well, its sort-of sorted.

Hopefully it's Southampton & Bournemouth who go with you. (Apologies to fans of all three but needs must ...)
Ps. Anyone could have said the same for any 8 of the bottom 9 teams and I'd have still said the same.

Managers who think they are bigger than the club and then let everyone know it are a massive problem. Always have been, always will be.
Mourinho is no different.

United slow out of the blocks again. Seems to have become a bit of a trait these last few weeks.
I always worry when McTomminay is the link between defence and attack. Poor quality, slow mentally and physically.

The whole team just looks leggy. There’s not the depth of squad at the moment for the number of games we’re playing.
Totally agree as regards McTominay. A very limited player at this level - steady, but no more. And we certainly look very ponderous with him sitting in front of Maguire.

What I have no idea of is how mentally exhausting it is having to play every three days since the world cup.
Physically I believe they should have no problem, other than the increase in likelihood of picking up an injury, but the mental side of things might get rather draining, I genuinely have no idea.

Flat as a pancake first half.
I’m expecting a massive improvement
