Amusing.

7th place and 8 points behind Liverpool after only 6 games.
Losing to little old Brighton.
Falling out with Pogba. Again.
Out of the Carabao Cup, losing at home to Derby.

How long will Jose last?

5live analysing that now. The problem they have is that the Glazers are in The States and are content as the money pours in, with CEO Woodward a weak non-football-background man, leaving Mourinho and Pogba as the 'personalities' running the narrative.

Jose seems to have a shelf life of about 3 years at every club he's managed. Great success at the start, then slowly things seem to go downhill and he loses the dressing room.

"It was the easiest selection I have had, the players were superb against Brentford and they deserved the chance to play at Old Trafford. I wanted to bring a team who could really compete." - Frank Lampard

Hang on Frank.
Aren't Derby in a Championship playoff spot?
Surely you don't want any meaningless Cup distractions other than focusing on getting into the promised land that is the Premier League?

(Just preparing the ground for the FA Cup 3rd Round draw in December and discussions on Albion team selections...)

A 3rd Round tie against Blyth Spartans at the Amex will suit me, and we can rest our best 11.

Just get this man on board to pick out the away teams as he's done before and I'm sure anything can be 'arranged'.

He even used to play in High School apparently. Whether he can play leftback is still unknown.

WOAH! Hang on a minute. I've just noticed Palace won a match without ZAHAHAHAHAHA. When did that last happen?

Acting like an utter bellend in his post match interview. Looks like a tramp as well.

Yeah - Looked like he'd been on a lad's weekend in Blackpool. Can't believe what he said about Phil Jones, the bloke just looked really low when he missed and then his manager treats him like that. Always had time for Mourinho but he's pretty stressed right now....

That was shocking.......'yeah, we know Phil can't take a penalty to save his life, he's shit'

Southampton go marching on with a penalty shootout win at Goodison.

Followed by great gallows humour from Evertonians fuming with Marko Silva:
