Manure really are turgid to watch these days.  How much has he spent - £400m on that garbage.

WBA are down. Still got to play Liverpool and Spurs in the run in.

Even then they're relying on everyone above to lose pretty much every week.

They have been down for a while - in my eyes at least, though not yet mathematically.

But today it sounded like they showed a lot more pride under a caretaker coach than we managed under our roster of muppets two years ago. Sounds like Darren Moore made them sweat for the shirt. Fair play to him.

They still have battlers in their squad like Dawson and Brunt.

Difficult to say how they'll do  next year. Of the likely bottom 3 think Southampton will most likely be in contention for automatic promotion.

Agree wholeheartedly- He deserves to do well and is a rarity in the modern game, a thoroughly decent hunan being. Well done also to Jimmy Shan , his assistant, who has come up through the youth coaching ranks and has had a big hand in developing some of their good young players like Sam Field and Jonathan Leko.

Mourinho is a miserable git these days. He’s managing one of the biggest clubs in the world with all the trappings that gives him yet he wears an expression that suggest his face would crack if he attempted a smile.
He's always been a detestable  ******. I hate the tosser.

I like Mourinho due to the fact he really annoys the United fans.

That’s exactly my message to a Baggie and he replied with 24/17. So still obsessed with us.

See also Yorke, Barry and Milner too.

If you can't win it at Villa, try some other club ?

Was hoping against hope he hadn't featured in ten premier league games (so wouldn't get a medal if they still do that) but played in 18 I think this year.

He has, as a makeshift left-back. Which does say something about his ability and Pep's coaching.

Now he's won the title I don't suppose he'd ever regret moving to City, but he was never going to be a regular there in his best position.  He swapped being a top flight captain who was starting for England to a perennial substitute who's barely been capped since. Not saying he shouldn't have left us, but had he moved to, say, Spurs or Liverpool where he'd have had more chance of playing regularly in centre midfield I don't think it's inconceivable that he could have been going to the World Cup as England captain. Never mind, he can stay at home and admire his reflection in his medal instead.
