2014 Football/Futbol Discussion - United Is British Slang For 'Shite' Edition

[Romo]

Horrible news from Barca as former manager Tito Vilanova has reportedly been taken back into hospital after complications with his cancer.

[Romo]

Reporter: do you want to say anything to Tito Vilanova? He's dying.
Mourinho: *shakes head* No.

If that's really how the question was phrased then what a horrible reporter. Frankly I don't see why they'd ask him this anyway. Mourinho never got on with Vilanova, it's a stupid question to ask him.

I believe so, Jose said in a interview with a asian football show awhile back if he had 3 wishes what would they be and one of them was for Tito to get better so who knows what Jose meant, i'm guessing he doesn't want to feed the newspapers full of quotes about it..

A Spanish news paper called Mundo Deportivo have announced the death of Tito Vilanova.

edit: confirmed by the FCB twitter

So sad, only 45 years old RIP!

[Kyle]

RIP.

Sad news, RIP.

[PorkChop]

Ugh... cancer is such a horrible thing. RIP.

RIP Tito

Saddening news. He was a humble, polite dude who helped Pep massively during the 2008-2012 period. He also won Barca 18 out of their 19 league games in the 12-13 season but got ill and the team suffered.

Only 45 aswell.

In regards to the Mourinho answer. First of all, bollocks of a question and the phrasing of it and secondly, Mourinho should have expanded abit more eloquently but I'd have barked at the reporter for the wording.

He was a phenomenal manager and would of gone to have achieved guardiola like achievements had this horrible illness not returned

As a Barcelona fan myself it devastating hearing the news, i can even imagine how the Barca players and staff are feeling, they all went through this journey with him.

[AkydefGoldberg]

^I was genuinely shocked because I didn't realise he was close to dying, despite reading the question coming from the journalist. Rightly, he'll get a real, emotional respect from Barcelona and well deserved.

Intrigued by how Pep will be handling this news, they were tight and Bayern in the midst of a crucial part of the season but football irrelevant atm.

So, these are the designs for next year's season ticket. I'll be done with uni by next season so may look into getting a season ticket again (depending on what happens over the summer + the cost)



Which design do we like? I like 8 but nobody on Twitter has mentioned it

Sorry @Daz

TBH, your boys were resolute but just didn't really offer much going forward in the final third. The penalty was a soft one to give away but after that, we played excellently in the second half. Everything Giggs said in his pre-match press conference was shown in the second half. Quick play and tempo, that's what was pleasing because it has been a bloody long time to see that.

But the whole occasion, seeing Giggs get a wonderful reception when he came, just seeing him on the sidelines, gave me a tingly feeling. Yes it was vs. Norwich and the games coming up are all winnable but just a small part yearns for him to get the job full time but feel Van Gaal is the right man atm to come in to help us re-build but it seems Van Gaal will bring in his own coaching staff but it'd be good if the club could nudge him to try and keep Giggs on or he might decide that himself because it seems he's not keen to be told to do things.

[PorkChop]

I hope Daz is alright, he wasn't even online during Amazing Greys and that's when I knew something was clearly wrong...

[Viazon]

So I guess now Ryan Giggs is the best manager in the world. At least that's what all the Man U fans on Facebook seem to think.

'This is the United I Know' was trending on Twitter earlier and it made me feel fucking sick.

I mean, United should always beat Norwich. That shouldn't even be an accomplishment for them. I don't know if Moyes really is a terrible manager but a lot of people have been saying that the players didn't perform for him because they didn't respect him. If that's the case, then it is pretty unprofessional of the players.
