Watford 3-1 Man Utd, 3 straight defeatd for Mourinho.

No surprise that he is blaming players, referees and luck for a defeat again. Nothing is ever his fault.

Mr Mourinho I know you lost the match but as it was a totally deserved win by Watford could you, just for a second,  just recognise that they did well?

Sure wish we had someone that could do crosses half as well as this guy...was he really in Newcastle last year? How much they sell him for?

I'll go with no, on the basis that he's the biggest narcissistic ****** working in football today.

Sunderland look dead and buried - although they were a bit unlucky Spurs eventually found their scoring boots.

Was at one of my favourite birmingham pubs on Saturday arriving there just after 7 30 but not realising the Prince of Wales in moseley now has a big screen out the back. What a nightmare sitting amongst those celebrating scum who as usual hadn't actually gone to the game of course - definitely a few old school zulus in the beer garden too.

Andros Townsend has gone from Wayne Routledge to Luis Figo in six months and it's very strange.

Would I be happy with him in our current team in the Championship? Sure.

Would I want to be spending £15m or so on him as a Premier League side? Definitely not.

When you're speculatively shooting from 30 yards ten times per match then one will fly in from time to time. It doesn't excuse the wastefulness of the fifty or so other shots bothering people at the back of the stand.

Better to have at least one trick you are good at, rather than the terminally useless performance we instead suffered throughout last season.

I maintain that he's a good player. He'd have been our best player by miles.

Think Mourinho and Allardyce now know where Rooney's best position is.

I've seen Leicester twice this season and they've been as bad as Villa were last season.

A mate offered me a bet at the end of last season for Leicester and Villa to have swapped leagues by 2017/18.
