So my two favourites football stories so far this year are

[Luis Anaconda]

the impact of Torreira on Arsenal and the impending implosion of Jose Mourinho in Manchester.

And if I'm honest, I'm taking more pleasure in the latter.

Not only has he alienated Pogba (something some of us predicted the summer he was purchased) but he's now working on the rest of players as well. He knew they were in trouble when it got to Jones and Bailly.

That's bound to go down well in the dressing room, Jose.

Who wants to set a book on him not making it through the year?

If it is him or Pogba, he goes definitely, and he is hardly making conciliatory moves. The captaincy thing is bizarre - why give it to him in the first place? Seems a touch short-sighted. Suddenly away to West Ham looks a much harder prospect - surviving til Christmas is a longshot.

I think you're being generous with 'bizarre', it's mind boggling. The only explanations I can come up with for him having told Pogba he will never captain Utd again are that he thinks there is a chance that he can win the battle with Pogba (as you said, he won't) or that Mourinho really has lost it.

I suppose we should never be surprised at what that man's ego is capable of.

Most of the Man Utd supporters I know would be happy to see the back of the ****.

It must pain them all terribly to see City playing beautiful football and winning things
