find it mind boggling that the manager sends the same team out that probably put in their best performance of the season mid week against chelsea and probably says "same again" - the team under performs compared to mid week by about 85% and the fans say "ETH OUT" or "He's lost the dressing room" - so let me get this right United fans - on saturday they played for the fans (surely that's the bare minimum for any professional player ? at the end of away game you don't go over and clap the manager you go and clap your fans) but not for the manager ??? and they played shite.
Deluded.
Man United became so accustomed to constant success under Ferguson that it's a mentality they've never been able to shake. Look what happened with Mourinho, wins the Europa League, gets them the closest to the title since Ferguson, still potted.
Chelsea are similar, they've never adjusted to City's rise and Liverpool's renaissance.
You've got 4 clubs - City, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea - who expect the title every year, Arsenal who expect a title challenge every year, Spurs who expect top 4 and who think every year might be the year they nick it, and now Newcastle set to join the ranks of "we deserve a trophy a year minimum".
They don't seem to realise there's more of them think they're entitled to a trophy than there are trophies to go for.
