One sentence - Vince didn't "get" them. They were just an LOD rehash as far as he saw, I doubt he even watched/watches NXT.

The thing that killed TNA more than anything else was that they made a lot of the same mistakes as WCW - Chiefly they got Hogan involved in creative and his little circle. In those days the product even looked the same as WCW. The 6 sided ring went, the usual suspects got hired, the emphasis was put on names over the "TNA Originals", like Joe, Daniels, Styles etc The only company where Hogan is a benefit is in WWE, because they're big enough to keep him in his box. But to go back to the point of the discussion - a p*ssed off wrestler with something to prove can be very damaging to a former promotion - provided they're allowed to have free reign. Ryder for example is a very charismatic guy, and lots of people would follow him if he moved somewhere where he was allowed to shine. WWE want to avoid giving this embryonic potential rival any weapons they can.

I doubt it now they're in full on "war" mode. They're desperately trying to hold onto anyone semi decent to keep them away from Cody's mob.

Pogba and Herrera were both fantastic. Herrera should be captain.

Proud of the United boys tonight, superb performance and worked their socks off. Okay Chelsea weren't great, but we were clinical and rapid on the break (despite not having Martial) and the off the ball closing down was excellent. Wolves away in the Quarters.

He does, but he's not the only one. Victor Lindelof is starting to look like the player I thought we'd signed. Hell the whole side has been transformed. Bournemouth should be grateful to Eric Bailly for his brain fade - because they could have taken a tonking.

United are playing better than I've seen in months. The freedom and expression is wonderful.

He's there for the rest of the season, mostly to bring a feelgood mood back to the squad. He also has Mick Phelan there as well. With the DOF coming soon (rumoured to be Paul Mitchell who worked with Pochetino at Southampton) Seems like we're putting all the eggs in the Poch basket this summer, hope we can pull it off.

SuperClassico in Argentina I'd guess.

Enough is enough, Jose needs to go. Now.

Mourinho has to go, this is bad comedy.

United just pulled off the biggest robbery Turin has witnessed since Michael Caine rocked up with a bus and three Minis. How the hell did we win that?

One of my pet hates, teams changing colours when there's no need. I'm the same. There have been a number of times when I've been at an away match, Albion have lined-up in their change kit, and I've turned to my Dad and said, "Since when does navy blue and white clash with red (or some other colour)?" The weird thing about Oxford not playing in yellow on Saturday though, is that they were at home. I wonder if they're contractually obliged to wear the away kit a certain amount of times or something.

One of my pet hates, teams changing colours when there's no need. We had Newcastle up at Old Trafford wearing their away kit. Couldn't they just have worn white shorts like Juve did?

Feel like we got kicked in the teeth today, I mean a draw away at Chelsea this morning wouldn't have been a bad result, but we literally threw it away with the last kick. If we could start games with the intensity we play with late on when we're behind - then we'd be up with City in the league.

Should have got Jose when Fergie first retired. We ended up with the right man, but far too late. I'd like Poch next. I like Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves, but I think he's lacking in experience for the United job just now. One for maybe a few years.

Exactly, he knows the ethos of the club - but I fear he'd just simply try and run the Fergie playbook page for page because he hasn't had the experience in top level management to forge his own. The Fergie playbook was fine in 1992-2008, but the game has moved on since then, on and off the pitch. Also Ryan simply does not have the ruthlessness required to manage United. I watched a documentary about his brief run as caretaker, and he said himself he couldn't sleep at night when making a decision about dropping someone. Also we tried giving the job to an "up and coming" manager, and that put us on the decline we're reaping the final outcome of now. Put simply, we cannot afford a "project" or to "blood a team" any more. We're being left for dust by Liverpool and City, Arsenal and Chelsea are evolving - Spurs are a step down from being legit challengers too. We need a proven top class manager who can hit the ground running. The biggest gamble I'd take right now would be to prise Poch away from Spurs. He's the minimum level we should be looking at.

Yeah, I loved their AC Milan kits as well. Still the money was really helpful to the league as a whole I suppose. It's going to get much worse, United won't sack him until at least we're out of the Champions League, whatever their reasons - yesterday's lack of effort was unacceptable. They didn't quit only on Jose, they quit on the club, the badge and us fans. Jose needs to go, and Pogba needs to *Censored* off asap as well. It's a situation where we cannot allow either to appear to win because then the next manager has practically no power from the start.

Well it's finally happened. Today was the day I lost faith in Jose Mourinho. Pathetic, abject and abysmal. It's clear the players don't give a monkeys about playing for him. 3-2 flattered us.

37* Corrected, I deleted two from 38 instead of 40.

I'll take that all day long. Alexis was having one, but aside from him and Darmian, everyone played well. Made up for Luke Shaw. Pogba played like he was playing for France tonight. One down, 35 to go.

Stoke currently being destroyed by Leeds.

Jose's on the verge of a meltdown. You can feel it coming.

I like Jose, was really glad we got him, and I want it to work out - but I'm starting to question him. But then if we change manager again, there's another period of evaluation, a change in transfer targets (and no time to get them in this year) and then of course getting out the players he doesn't want. I agree that if he doesn't win the League or the Champions League this season that he's gone however.
