From Howard Webb's web chat today...
''Can you think of an instance where a decision you have given has drastically altered course of future. I.e outcome of a pivotal match, player not recovering from a sending off and so on?''
Howard Webb:
''Of course I had some really good games with strong performances otherwise I wouldn't have reached the level I did, however I also made many mistakes in my career. You just hope they don't have big consequences...I misread a penalty situation in a Man Utd v Spurs match, when Spurs were leading 2-0. It made the score 2-1 and although I got the feeling I'd made a mistake and was hoping it wouldn't impact on the final score, it did with Man Utd winning 5-2. That impacted on the league positions near the top of the table and left me feeling pretty down for quite some time.''
And so you should you egg-head clownshoe

Thought 30 million for Sissoko was bit high, but United got his shit brother for around 3-4 times that. Paying that for Pogba when we sell Tom Carroll I reckon a £200 million fee ain't out of the question, might as well just make up any old figure.
Mourinho fucking this job up. I don't think he gets man United’s DNA. Aghhh well what a shame.

There must be something toxic going on at Man Utd - seems like something you'd have seen at Spurs a few years back. Like, they have players who can CLEARLY play good football. Pogba was part of a great Juventus side who played good football, even the likes of Ashley Young, Rooney, Valencia, Smalling etc. were all part of Fergusons great sides who always played good football. Herrera played good football at Bilbao, especially under Bielsa.
It's like at Spurs when we would CLEARLY have good footballers, yet we wouldn't play it. Even under Poch in his first season. We knew he played good football at Southampton, I mean when he first took over they took to him within weeks. At Spurs, it took him over a year. He had to get RID of that toxic.
Mourinho needs to simply start over. Whether he's the man to do that or Man Utd would even let him, I just don't know.

Mourinho is a cunt, and his shite football with that expensive squad will not last too long - the United fanbase already having endured three seasons of tripe during their comedown from Fergie.
As long as they don't come anywhere near Poch, I'll be laughing.

Touches in the opposition box this weekend:
Manchester City - 64
Nathan Redmond - 12
Manchester United - 6
:vert:
Donald Trump - 4
More bad news for their defence. Bailly could be out for up to 2 months.
Still amazes me that despite spending all the money they did, they didn't improve the overall depth of their defence. Spent a load of money on Bailly yet still have the likes of Blind and Rojo playing at centre half. Smalling has gone down hill too, at fault for all four Chelsea goals at the weekend. Shaw can't even get in the team and their best defender all season has been a converted winger.
