He would be the sort of manager that manages to divide players, which could mean departures of RVP and Rooney should they clash. For a team to win, there must be absolute harmony, no accusations, no divisions of any kind or blame. If you lose, you lose as a team just as you win as a team. No single player should be singled out for either blame or praise. It is true that there may be some problems between Villa and Messi, but at the end of the day, when I see players like Xavi, Iniesta or Messi, they have egos of course, but they play football for the team and not for themselves. Some Real Madrid players could take a few tips from how the Barcelona team works as far as egos are concerned.
La Liga - 2012/2013

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

exactly!
Mourinho's all about bravado, his ego's nowhere near as big as he wants people to think.
maybe you are right, but i dont want that bravado to be the face of manchester united
Di Maria on for Modric??? Apart from Özil he was their best player in the first half. Maybe he's gambling on the counter 
goooooooooool!!! coentrao, what a pass from ronie!
Exactly!!!
Portuguese mafia
Good pass by Ronaldo, not playing well but scored one and made one!
Association of greasy cnuts
He's lost whatever spirit he got into them last year. Apart from a handful of games (mostly against Barcelona) they look miles off the pace.
The Spanish players look content - and are allegedly annoyed that Mourinho makes everyone hate them when they should be getting the love and respect of a proud nation. Casillas is honest about it - "I don't care if we're 25 points behind Barca, but we win the Decima." Which is true, but not much of a plan.
His us against the world thing seems to have run out of steam. Key players not on board and even players who look like his allies complaining that they're fed up with him blaming the team, and the players - all stick, no carrot.
Allegedly.
Incidentally Valencia lost 0-1 (to Rayo) and are now in 11th.
Ooops just realised I didn't post this - nice work from Coentrao just now
Great save!
what is this "decima" ?
Kike Casilla has made some insane saves.
Espanyol have been terrible in this second half. Hoofing balls to Casillas when one of their own players was in acres of space is incredible. They make Stoke City look technically superior.
Shock of the night, Alonso booked.
That was his 20th foul in 4 games wasn't it? If that had been Rooney or Evra, they would have already got a four-game ban...
Almost the third, great pass by Ronaldo.
Alonso is like Van Bommel, a cnut who knows how to avoid bookings
On the contrary, Van Bommel is a player who gets more yellows and reds than Alonso. Alonso gets away with a great deal of fouls and seems immune to a red. In one match he committed at least 10 fouls and didn't receive one. I tell you, if Rooney had done the same, he would have received a 3-match ban. I think if you was going to liken a player to Van Bommel, it would have to be Ramos.
I've seen dozens and dozens of games with Van Bommel over the years where his persisting and dangerous fouling followed by an apologetic and sorry face prevented from getting booked never mind sent off
feck off Mourinho
2-2
Goooolllllllaaaazo!!!! Ref is going to add 5 minutes now at the end.
Squeeky bum time.
Edit - ffs.

2:2, bye bye Madrid
Real Madrid supporters leaving in their droves.
Madrid!
There's still time for a third.
By either team
By either team
spanish football at it's worst here.

If Barcelona lose, Real only 10 points behind. That's how optimists see it.
But they're not going to lose any, 13-point lead in two hours time.

That dive was simply beautiful.

Hey, at least we're still in the race for the Champions League, right?
Thank God I watch Premier League more and nothing like that happens in England.
Pepe takes a ball in the balls. I hope it hurt.
it does, just not with the same regularity.
Nah there is never any shit defending in the PL, let alone in our games.
Edit: Were you actually talking about people leaving early?
Corner Espanyol and they play it short. Play for a goal you pussettas
