Rousseau 9,443 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Lingard- Rashford seemed to me to dovetail effectively, almost as though they had been practicing working together. I meant "forced" in the sense that I don't think it was Mourinho's intention to play them both, but perhaps he did because Zlatan was fit? I believe one of the guys in the studio suggested they were good mates off the pitch, and have known each other for a good few years. I agree, they worked very well together.

Rousseau 9,443 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd argue Mourinho is the best manager of the last 20 years. Simply down to his ability to get results when he is written off. He might even be the best of my lifetime (38 years) He's certainly up there. Does Fergie count within that time period? Guardiola is also up there, for me - Man City tenure aside! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 He's certainly up there. Does Fergie count within that time period? Guardiola is also up there, for me - Man City tenure aside! For consistency then Fergie would be up there for me. But I'd rate Mourinho, Hitzfeld, Lippi and Capello all above him. Those are just off the top of my head. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Not much to have a flutter on this weekend but I will be doing a Hull and Swansea double. West Ham let me down for $1800 last weekend and not for the first time in recent weeks so I wont be touching them. Bournemouth 1-1 Middlesbrough Hull 2-0 Watford Swansea 1-0 Stoke West Ham 0-1 Everton Burnley 0-1 Man Utd Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace FA Cup Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham Spurs to win on Pens Arsenal 0-2 Man City 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Good betting...a double Swansea and Hull. That helps the dent from last weekends hiding in Cambodia. Never bet on West Ham....done. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,443 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) As good as Zlatan has been for United, they look a more dangerous proposition with Martial, Rashford and Lingard up front; it also looks more like a Mourinho front line.

Uilleam 5,462 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Great result for Palace!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Palace safe now, didnt see them winning that. Top 4 battle is very much open again and somehow its back in Arsenals own hands, it they win their games in hand they are above Liverpool on goal difference. But Man Utd are starting to creep up, the Manchester derby will be huge this week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Palace safe now, didnt see them winning that. Top 4 battle is very much open again and somehow its back in Arsenals own hands, it they win their games in hand they are above Liverpool on goal difference. But Man Utd are starting to creep up, the Manchester derby will be huge this week. It actually isn't in Arsenal's own hands. Even if they win their games in hand they would still be behind Chelsea, Spurs, City and Man U. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
